      balance at a rate equal to seven percent (7.0%) per annum, computed on the
      basis
      of the actual number of days elapsed and a year of 365 or 366 days as the case

      accrued thereon are paid (or converted, as provided in Section 3
      hereof).

      amount
      equal to the then unpaid Principal Amount together with any then unpaid accrued

      be due and payable on March 31, 2008 (the "Maturity
      Date"),

      the principal offices of the Company or by mail to the address of the registered
      holder of this Note in lawful money of the United States, unless this Note
      shall
      have been previously converted pursuant to Section 2 hereof. The
      Maturity

      shall be paid prior to any distributions by the Company to holders of Company
      equity securities in respect of such securities.

    2.  CONVERSION.

     

    2.1  Election.
      The
      Holder or may elect to convert all or part of the outstanding principal amount
      of and any accrued but unpaid interest on this Note, into shares of Conversion
      Stock at the Conversion Price then in effect. The Holder may make such an

      of
      the outstanding principal amount of and any accrued but unpaid interest on
      this
      Note by delivery of written notice to the Holder. 

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    
      	U.S.
              $1,000,000.00	
               November
                21, 2007

            

    

     

    2.2  Issuance
      of Conversion Stock.
      As soon
      as practicable after conversion of this Note, the Company at its expense will
      cause to be issued in the name of and delivered to the Holder, a certificate
      or
      certificates for the number of shares of Conversion Stock to which the Holder
      shall be entitled upon such conversion (bearing such legends as may be required
      by applicable state and federal securities laws in the opinion of legal counsel
      of the Company, by the Company's Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, or
      by
      any agreement between the Company and the Holder), together with any other
      securities and property to which the Holder is entitled upon such conversion
      under the terms of this Note. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been
      made
      on the date of delivery of the applicable conversion notice, together with
      this
      Note. No fractional shares will be issued upon conversion of this Note. If
      upon
      any conversion of this Note, a fraction of a share would otherwise result,
      then
      in lieu of such fractional share the Company will pay the cash value of that
      fractional share, calculated on the basis of the then current market price
      of
      the Company's common stock, as determined in good faith by the Board of
      Directors of the Company.

     

    3.  ADJUSTMENT
      PROVISIONS.
      The
      number and character of shares of Conversion Stock issuable upon conversion
      of
      this Note and the Conversion Price therefor, are subject to adjustment upon
      occurrence of the following events between the date this Note is issued and
      the
      date it is converted:

     

    3.1  Adjustment
      for Stock Splits, Stock Dividends, Recapitalizations,
      etc.
      The
      Conversion Price of this Note and the number of shares of Conversion Stock
      issuable upon conversion of this Note shall each be proportionally adjusted
      to
      reflect any stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, reclassification,
      recapitalization or other similar event affecting the number of outstanding
      shares of Conversion Stock unless the conversion ratio of such Conversion Stock
      already reflects such event.

     

    3.2  Adjustment
      for Other Dividends and Distributions.
      In case
      the Company shall make or issue, or shall fix a record date for the
      determination of eligible holders of Conversion Stock entitled to receive,
      a
      dividend or other distribution payable with respect to their shares of
      Conversion Stock that is payable in (a) securities of the Company (other
      than issuances with respect to which adjustment is made under Section 3.1),
      or (b) assets (other than cash dividends paid or payable solely out of
      retained earnings), then, and in each such case, the Holder, upon conversion
      of
      this Note at any time after the consummation, effective date or record date
      of
      such event, shall receive, in addition to the shares of Conversion Stock
      issuable upon such conversion prior to such date, the securities or such other
      assets of the Company to which the Holder would have been entitled upon such
      date if the Holder had converted this Note immediately prior thereto (all
      subject to further adjustment as provided in this Note).

               November
                21, 2007

            

    

     

    3.3  Conversion
      or Exchange of Stock.
      In case
      all the authorized Conversion Stock of the Company is converted, pursuant to
      the
      Company's Certificate of Incorporation, into other securities or property,
      or
      the Conversion Stock otherwise ceases to exist, then, in such case, the Holder,
      upon conversion of this Note at any time after the date on which the Conversion
      Stock is so converted or ceases to exist (the "Termination
      Date"),
      shall
      receive, in lieu of the number of shares of Conversion Stock that would have
      been issuable upon such conversion immediately prior to the Termination Date
      (the "Former
      Number of Shares of Conversion Stock"),
      the
      stock and other securities and property which the Holder would have been
      entitled to receive upon the Termination Date if the Holder had converted this
      Note with respect to the Former Number of Shares of Conversion Stock immediately
      prior to the Termination Date (all subject to further adjustment as provided
      in
      this Note).

     

    3.4  Notice
      of Adjustments.
      The
      Company shall promptly give written notice of each adjustment or readjustment
      of
      the Conversion Price or the number of shares of Conversion Stock or other
      securities issuable upon conversion of this Note. The notice shall describe
      the
      adjustment or readjustment and show in reasonable detail the facts on which
      the
      adjustment or readjustment is based.

     

    3.5  No
      Change Necessary.
      The
      form of this Note need not be changed because of any adjustment in the
      Conversion Price or in the number of shares of Conversion Stock issuable upon
      its conversion.

     

    3.6  Reservation
      of Stock.
      If at
      any time the authorized number of shares of Conversion Stock or other securities
      issuable upon conversion of this Note shall not be sufficient to effect the
      conversion of this Note, the Company will use its commercially reasonable
      efforts to take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel,
      be
      necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Conversion Stock
      or
      other securities issuable upon conversion of this Note as shall be sufficient
      for such purpose.

     

    4.  NO
      RIGHTS OR LIABILITIES AS SHAREHOLDER.
      This
      Note does not by itself entitle the Holder to any voting rights or other rights
      as a shareholder of the Company. In the absence of conversion of this Note,
      no
      provisions of this Note, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges
      of the Holder, shall cause the Holder to be a shareholder of the Company for
      any
      purpose.

     

    5.  NO
      IMPAIRMENT.
      The
      Company will not, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws,
      or
      through reorganization, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of
      securities, sale of assets or any other voluntary action, willfully avoid or
      seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Note,
      but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such
      terms
      and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in
      order
      to protect the rights of the Holder under this Note against wrongful impairment.
      Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will take all
      such
      action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may duly
      and
      validly issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of Conversion Stock upon
      the
      conversion of this Note.

    6.  DEFAULT.
      An
      "Event of Default" will occur if any of the following happens:

     

    (a)  The
      Company fails to make any payment when due hereunder and such default is not
      cured within a ten (10) day period after the Holder has given the Company
      written notice of such default;

     

    (b)  The
      Company breaches any material obligation to the Holder under this Note (other
      than the payment of principal and interest) and such default is not cured within
      a thirty (30) day period after the Holder has given the Company written notice
      of such default; or

     

    (c)  A
      receiver is appointed for any material part of the Company's property, the
      Company makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the Company becomes
      a debtor or alleged debtor in a case under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or becomes
      the subject of any other bankruptcy or similar proceeding for the general
      adjustment of its debts and such proceeding is not dismissed or stayed within
      sixty (60) days from the date of commencement thereof.

     

    Upon
      the
      occurrence of any Event of Default, the Maturity Payment shall become
      immediately due and payable in full without further notice or demand by
      Holder.

     

    7.  PREPAYMENT.

      Company may prepay, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time,

      Note, including attorneys' fees.

     

    9.  INVESTOR
      REPRESENTATIONS.
      The

      and
      Federal securities law, as reasonably determined by the Company. The rights

                employment for the purpose of the Plan or any Grant; and (h) make

                other determinations necessary or advisable for the Plan's administration.

      	(a)  	
              General:
                The persons who shall be eligible to receive Grants shall be directors,
                officers, employees or consultants to the Company. The term consultant
                shall mean any person, other than an employee, who is engaged by
                the
                Company to render services and is compensated for such services.
                An
                Optionee may hold more than one Option. Any issuance of a Grant to
                an
                officer or director of the Company subsequent to the first registration
                of
                any of the securities of the Company under the Exchange Act shall
                comply
                with the requirements of Rule
                16b-3.

            

    

    

    
      	(b)  	
              Incentive
                Stock Options:
                Incentive Stock Options may only be issued to employees of the Company.
                Incentive Stock Options may be granted to officers or directors,
                provided
                they are also employees of the Company. Payment of a director's fee
                shall
                not be sufficient to constitute employment by the
                Company.

            

    

    
      	 	 

    

    
      	 	    The
              Company
              shall not grant an Incentive Stock Option under the Plan to any employee
              if such Grant would result in such employee holding the right to exercise
              for the first time in any one calendar year, under all Incentive Stock
              Options granted under the Plan or any other plan maintained by the
              Company, with respect to shares of Stock having an aggregate fair market
              value, determined as of the date of the Option is granted, in excess
              of
              $100,000. Should it be determined that an Incentive Stock Option granted
              under the Plan exceeds such maximum for any reason other than a failure
              in
              good faith to value the Stock subject to such option, the excess portion
              of such option shall be considered a Nonstatutory Option. To the extent
              the employee holds two (2) or more such Options which become exercisable
              for the first time in the same calendar year, the foregoing limitation
              on
              the exercisability of such Option as Incentive Stock Options under
              the
              Federal tax laws shall be applied on the basis of the order in which
              such
              Options are granted. If, for any reason, an entire Option does not
              qualify
              as an Incentive Stock Option by reason of exceeding such maximum, such
              Option shall be considered a Nonstatutory
              Option.

                Option
                designated as a "Nonstatutory
                Option"
                or which sets forth the intention of the parties that the Option

                Restricted Stock Purchase Offer under the
                Plan.

                of Shares:

                total
                number of shares of Stock which may be purchased or granted directly
                by
                Options, Stock Awards or Restricted Stock Purchase Offers, or purchased
                indirectly through exercise of Options granted under the Plan shall
                not
                exceed Two Million (2,000,000). If any Grant shall for any reason
                terminate or expire, any shares allocated thereto but remaining
                unpurchased upon such expiration or termination shall again be available
                for Grants with respect thereto under the Plan as though no Grant
                had
                previously occurred with respect to such shares. Any shares of Stock
                issued pursuant to a Grant and repurchased pursuant to the terms
                thereof
                shall be available for future Grants as though not previously covered
                by a
                Grant.

            

    

    

    
      	(c)  	
              Reservation
                of Shares:

                the term
                of the Plan such number of shares as shall be sufficient to satisfy
                the
                requirements of the Plan. If, after reasonable efforts, which efforts
                shall not include the registration of the Plan or Grants under the
                Securities Act, the Company is unable to obtain authority from any
                applicable regulatory body, which authorization is deemed necessary
                by
                legal counsel for the Company for the lawful issuance of shares hereunder,
                the Company shall be relieved of any liability with respect to its
                failure
                to issue and sell the shares for which such requisite authority was
                so
                deemed necessary unless and until such authority is
                obtained.

              Term
                and Exercise of Options:
                Any Option granted to an employee of the Company shall become exercisable
                over a period of no longer than five (5) years, and no less than
                twenty
                percent (20%) of the shares covered thereby shall become exercisable
                annually. No Option shall be exercisable, in whole or in part, prior
                to
                one (1) year from the date it is granted unless the Board shall
                specifically determine otherwise, as provided herein. In no event
                shall
                any Option be exercisable after the expiration of ten (10) years
                from the
                date it is granted, and no Incentive Stock Option granted to a Ten
                Percent
                Holder shall, by its terms, be exercisable after the expiration of
                five
                (5) years from the date of the Option. Unless otherwise specified
                by the
                Board or the Committee in the resolution authorizing such Option,
                the date
                of grant of an Option shall be deemed to be the date upon which the
                Board
                or the Committee authorizes the granting of such Option.
                

            

    

    
      	 	 

    

    
      	 	    Each

              shall be exercisable to the nearest whole share, in installments or
              otherwise, as the respective Option agreements may provide. During
              the
              lifetime of an Optionee, the Option shall be exercisable only by the
              Optionee and shall not be assignable or transferable by the Optionee,
              and
              no other person shall acquire any rights therein. To the extent not
              exercised, installments (if more than one) shall accumulate, but shall
              be
              exercisable, in whole or in part, only during the period for exercise
              as
              stated in the Option agreement, whether or not other installments are
              then

                than
                Optionee's disability or death, then Optionee (or if the Optionee
                shall
                die after such termination, but prior to exercise, Optionee's personal
                representative or the person entitled to succeed to the Option) shall

              Board may specify such period for exercise, not less than 30 days (except
              that in the case of "termination
              for cause"
              or removal of a director, the Option shall automatically terminate

              Option, following termination of employment or services as the Board
              deems
              reasonable and appropriate. The Option may be exercised only with respect
              to installments that the Optionee could have exercised at the date
              of
              termination of employment or services. Nothing contained herein or

              Option granted pursuant hereto shall be construed to affect or restrict

                the
                Code) at the time of termination, the three (3) month period set
                forth in
                Section 5(e) shall be a period, as determined by the Board and set
                forth
                in the Option, of not less than six months nor more than one year
                after

                serving

                in

                the right

                by
                the Board and set forth in the Option, of not less than six (6) months
                nor

                not be

                following termination of employment or services, or (ii) during the

              Modification,
                Acceleration, Extension, and Renewal of Options:
                Subject to the terms and conditions and within the limitations of
                the
                Plan, the Board may modify an Option, or, once an Option is exercisable,
                accelerate the rate at which it may be exercised, and may extend
                or renew
                outstanding Options granted under the Plan or accept the surrender
                of
                outstanding Options (to the extent not theretofore exercised) and
                authorize the granting of new Options in substitution for such Options,
                provided such action is permissible under applicable state securities
                law.
                Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 5(k), however, no
                modification of an Option shall, without the consent of the Optionee,
                alter to the Optionee's detriment or impair any rights or obligations

              Exercise
                Before Exercise Date:
                At
                the discretion of the Board, the Option may, but need not, include
                a
                provision whereby the Optionee may elect to exercise all or any portion
                of
                the Option prior to the stated exercise date of the Option or any
                installment thereof. Any shares so purchased prior to the stated
                exercise
                date shall be subject to repurchase by the Company upon termination
                of
                Optionee's employment as contemplated by Section 5(n) hereof prior
                to the
                exercise date stated in the Option and such other restrictions and
                conditions as the Board or Committee may deem

              Other
                Provisions:
                The Option agreements authorized under the Plan shall contain such
                other
                provisions, including, without limitation, restrictions upon the
                exercise
                of the Options, as the Board or the Committee shall deem advisable.
                Shares
                shall not be issued pursuant to the exercise of an Option, if the
                exercise
                of such Option or the issuance of shares thereunder would violate,
                in the
                opinion of legal counsel for the Company, the provisions of any applicable
                law or the rules or regulations of any applicable governmental or
                administrative agency or body, such as the Code, the Securities Act,
                the
                Exchange Act, state and securities laws, and the rules promulgated
                under
                the foregoing or the rules and regulations of any exchange upon which
                the
                shares of the Company are listed. Without limiting the generality
                of the
                foregoing, the exercise of each Option shall be subject to the condition
                that if at any time the Company shall determine that (i) the satisfaction
                of withholding tax or other similar liabilities, or (ii) the listing,
                registration or qualification of any shares covered by such exercise
                upon
                any securities exchange or under any state or federal law, or (iii)
                the
                consent or approval of any regulatory body, or (iv) the perfection
                of any
                exemption from any such withholding, listing, registration, qualification,
                consent or approval is necessary or desirable in connection with
                such
                exercise or the issuance of shares thereunder, then in any such event,
                such exercise shall not be effective unless such withholding, listing
                registration, qualification, consent, approval or exemption shall
                have
                been effected, obtained or perfected free of any conditions not acceptable
                to the Company.

              Repurchase
                Agreement:
                The Board may, in its discretion, require as a condition to the Grant
                of
                an Option hereunder, that an Optionee execute an agreement with the
                Company, in form and substance satisfactory to the Board in its discretion
                ("Repurchase
                Agreement"),
                (i) restricting the Optionee's right to transfer shares purchased
                under
                such Option without first offering such shares to the Company or
                another
                shareholder of the Company upon the same terms and conditions as
                provided
                therein; and (ii) providing that upon termination of Optionee's employment
                with the Company, for any reason, the Company (or another shareholder
                of
                the Company, as provided in the Repurchase Agreement) shall have
                the right
                at its discretion (or the discretion of such other shareholders)
                to
                purchase and/or redeem all such shares owned by the Optionee on the
                date
                of termination of his or her employment at a price equal to: (A)
                the fair
                value of such shares as of such date of termination; or (B) if such
                repurchase right lapses at 20% of the number of shares per year,
                the
                original purchase price of such shares, and upon terms of payment
                permissible under applicable state securities rules; provided that
                in the
                case of Options or Stock Awards granted to officers, directors,
                consultants or affiliates of the Company, such repurchase provisions

                Agreement or Restricted Stock Purchase Offer, the Plan and with the
                following conditions:

            

    

    

    
      	(i)  	
              A
                Participant shall not render services for any organization or engage
                directly or indirectly in any business which, in the judgment of
                the chief
                executive officer of the Company or other senior officer designated
                by the
                Board or Committee, is or becomes competitive with the Company, or
                which
                organization or business, or the rendering of services to such
                organization or business, is or becomes otherwise prejudicial to
                or in
                conflict with the interests of the Company. For Participants whose
                employment has terminated, the judgment of the chief executive officer
                shall be based on the Participant's position and responsibilities
                while
                employed by the Company, the Participant's post-employment
                responsibilities and position with the other organization or business,
                the
                extent of past, current and potential competition or conflict between
                the
                Company and the other organization or business, the effect on the
                Company's customers, suppliers and competitors and such other
                considerations as are deemed relevant given the applicable facts
                and
                circumstances. A Participant who has retired shall be free, however,
                to
                purchase as an investment or otherwise, stock or other securities
                of such
                organization or business so long as they are listed upon a recognized
                securities exchange or traded over-the-counter, and such investment
                does
                not represent a substantial investment to the Participant or a greater
                than ten percent (10%) equity interest in the organization or
                business.

            

    

    

    
      	(ii)  	
              A
                Participant shall not, without prior written authorization from the

                than the
                Company's business, any confidential information or material, as
                defined

                property, relating to the business of the Company, acquired by the
                Participant either during or after employment with the Company.

              A
                Participant, pursuant to the Company's Proprietary Information and

                all
                right, title and interest in any invention or idea, patentable or
                not,
                made or conceived by the Participant during employment by the Company,
                relating in any manner to the actual or anticipated business, research
                or
                development work of the Company and shall do anything reasonably
                necessary
                to enable the Company to secure a patent where appropriate in the
                United

              Upon
                exercise, payment or delivery pursuant to a Grant, the Participant

                with all of the provisions of this Section 6(c) prior to, or during
                the
                six months after, any exercise, payment or delivery pursuant to a
                Grant
                shall cause such exercise, payment or delivery to be rescinded. The
                Company shall notify the Participant in writing of any such rescission
                within two years after such exercise, payment or delivery. Within
                ten days
                after receiving such a notice from the Company, the Participant shall
                pay
                to the Company the amount of any gain realized or payment received
                as a
                result of the rescinded exercise, payment or delivery pursuant to
                a Grant.
                Such payment shall be made either in cash or by returning to the
                Company
                the number of shares of Stock that the Participant received in connection
                with the rescinded exercise, payment or
                delivery.

                other than pursuant to any of the following provisions under this
                Section
                6(e), all unexercised, deferred and unpaid Stock Awards or Restricted
                Stock Purchase Offers shall be cancelled immediately, unless the

              Retirement
                Under a Company Retirement Plan.
                When a Participant's employment terminates as a result of retirement
                in
                accordance with the terms of a Company retirement plan, the Board
                or
                Committee may permit Stock Awards or Restricted Stock Purchase Offers
                to
                continue in effect beyond the date of retirement in accordance with
                the
                applicable Grant Agreement and the exercisability and vesting of
                any such
                Grants may be accelerated.

              Rights
                in the Best Interests of the Company.
                When a Participant resigns from the Company and, in the judgment
                of the
                Board or Committee, the acceleration and/or continuation of outstanding
                Stock Awards or Restricted Stock Purchase Offers would be in the
                best
                interests of the Company, the Board or Committee may (i) authorize,
                where
                appropriate, the acceleration and/or continuation of all or any part
                of
                Grants issued prior to such termination and (ii) permit the exercise,
                vesting and payment of such Grants for such period as may be set
                forth in
                the applicable Grant Agreement, subject to earlier cancellation pursuant
                to Section 9 or at such time as the Board or Committee shall deem
                the
                continuation of all or any part of the Participant's Grants are not
                in the
                Company's best interest.

      	(1)  	
              In
                the event of a Participant's death, the Participant's estate or
                beneficiaries shall have a period up to the expiration date specified
                in
                the Grant Agreement within which to receive or exercise any outstanding
                Grant held by the Participant under such terms as may be specified
                in the
                applicable Grant Agreement. Rights to any such outstanding Grants
                shall
                pass by will or the laws of descent and distribution in the following
                order: (a) to beneficiaries so designated by the Participant; if
                none,
                then (b) to a legal representative of the Participant; if none, then
                (c)
                to the persons entitled thereto as determined by a court of competent
                jurisdiction. Grants so passing shall be made at such times and in
                such
                manner as if the Participant were
                living.

            

    

    

    
      	(2)  	
              In
                the event a Participant is deemed by the Board or Committee to be
                unable
                to perform his or her usual duties by reason of mental disorder or
                medical
                condition which does not result from facts which would be grounds
                for
                termination for cause, Grants and rights to any such Grants may be
                paid to
                or exercised by the Participant, if legally competent, or a committee
                or
                other legally designated guardian or representative if the Participant
                is
                legally incompetent by virtue of such
                disability.

            

    

    

    
      	(3)  	
              After
                the death or disability of a Participant, the Board or Committee
                may in
                its sole discretion at any time (1) terminate restrictions in Grant
                Agreements; (2) accelerate any or all installments and rights; and
                (3)
                instruct the Company to pay the total of any accelerated payments
                in a
                lump sum to the Participant, the Participant's estate, beneficiaries
                or
                representative; notwithstanding that, in the absence of such termination
                of restrictions or acceleration of payments, any or all of the payments
                due under the Grant might ultimately have become payable to other
                beneficiaries.

              In
                the event of uncertainty as to interpretation of or controversies
                concerning this Section 6, the determinations of the Board or Committee,
                as applicable, shall be binding and
                conclusive.

              Investment
                Intent. All Grants under the Plan are intended to be exempt from
                registration under the Securities Act provided by Rule 701 thereunder.
                Unless and until the granting of Options or sale and issuance of
                Stock
                subject to the Plan are registered under the Securities Act or shall
                be
                exempt pursuant to the rules promulgated thereunder, each Grant under
                the
                Plan shall provide that the purchases or other acquisitions of Stock
                thereunder shall be for investment purposes and not with a view to,
                or for
                resale in connection with, any distribution thereof. Further, unless
                the
                issuance and sale of the Stock have been registered under the Securities
                Act, each Grant shall provide that no shares shall be purchased upon
                the
                exercise of the rights under such Grant unless and until (i) all
                then
                applicable requirements of state and federal laws and regulatory
                agencies
                shall have been fully complied with to the satisfaction of the Company
                and
                its counsel, and (ii) if requested to do so by the Company, the person
                exercising the rights under the Grant shall (i) give written assurances
                as
                to knowledge and experience of such person (or a representative employed
                by such person) in financial and business matters and the ability
                of such
                person (or representative) to evaluate the merits and risks of exercising
                the Option, and (ii) execute and deliver to the Company a letter
                of
                investment intent and/or such other form related to applicable exemptions
                from registration, all in such form and substance as the Company
                may
                require. If shares are issued upon exercise of any rights under a
                Grant
                without registration under the Securities Act, subsequent registration
                of
                such shares shall relieve the purchaser thereof of any investment
                restrictions or representations made upon the exercise of such
                rights.

              Amendment,
                Modification, Suspension or Discontinuance of the Plan. The Board
                may,
                insofar as permitted by law, from time to time, with respect to any
                shares
                at the time not subject to outstanding Grants, suspend or terminate
                the
                Plan or revise or amend it in any respect whatsoever, except that
                without
                the approval of the shareholders of the Company, no such revision
                or
                amendment shall (i) increase the number of shares subject to the
                Plan,
                (ii) decrease the price at which Grants may be granted, (iii) materially
                increase the benefits to Participants, or (iv) change the class of
                persons
                eligible to receive Grants under the Plan; provided, however, no
                such
                action shall alter or impair the rights and obligations under any
                Option,
                or Stock Award, or Restricted Stock Purchase Offer outstanding as
                of the
                date thereof without the written consent of the Participant thereunder.
                No
                Grant may be issued while the Plan is suspended or after it is terminated,
                but the rights and obligations under any Grant issued while the Plan
                is in
                effect shall not be impaired by suspension or termination of the
                Plan.

            

      	 	 

      	 	    In
              the event of
              any change in the outstanding Stock by reason of a stock split, stock
              dividend, combination or reclassification of shares, recapitalization,
              merger, or similar event, the Board or the Committee may adjust
              proportionally (a) the number of shares of Stock (i) reserved under
              the
              Plan, (ii) available for Incentive Stock Options and Nonstatutory Options
              and (iii) covered by outstanding Stock Awards or Restricted Stock Purchase
              Offers; (b) the Stock prices related to outstanding Grants; and (c)
              the
              appropriate Fair Market Value and other price determinations for such
              Grants. In the event of any other change affecting the Stock or any
              distribution (other than normal cash dividends) to holders of Stock,
              such
              adjustments as may be deemed equitable by the Board or the Committee,
              including adjustments to avoid fractional shares, shall be made to
              give
              proper effect to such event. In the event of a corporate merger,
              consolidation, acquisition of property or stock, separation,
              reorganization or liquidation, the Board or the Committee shall be
              authorized to issue or assume stock options, whether or not in a
              transaction to which Section 424(a) of the Code applies, and other
              Grants
              by means of substitution of new Grant Agreements for previously issued
              Grants or an assumption of previously issued
              Grants.

              Tax
                Withholding. The Company shall have the right to deduct applicable
                taxes
                from any Grant payment and withhold, at the time of delivery or exercise
                of Options, Stock Awards or Restricted Stock Purchase Offers or vesting
                of
                shares under such Grants, an appropriate number of shares for payment
                of
                taxes required by law or to take such other action as may be necessary
                in
                the opinion of the Company to satisfy all obligations for withholding
                of
                such taxes. If Stock is used to satisfy tax withholding, such stock
                shall
                be valued based on the Fair Market Value when the tax withholding
                is
                required to be made.
