AGREEMENT

 

This Debenture
Redemption Agreement (“Agreement”)
is entered into as of January 9, 2009 by and between                         
(“Holder”) and Iteris, Inc. (“Iteris” or the “Company”).

 

RECITALS

 

WHEREAS, Holder
holds a 6% Convertible Debenture dated May 19, 2004 in the principal
amount of $                  
(the “Debenture”); and

 

WHEREAS, the
parties hereto have reached certain agreements with respect to the redemption
of the above-described debenture.

 

NOW, THEREFORE,
in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual promises and agreements
contained herein, the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties
hereto agree as follows:

 

1.             Debenture
Redemption.

 

1.1.          The Company agrees to redeem from Holder,
and Holder agrees to sell back to the Company, the Debenture for a payment of                         
($                  )
(the “Redemption Price”).  In addition to the payment of the Redemption
Price, the Company shall pay at the Closing (as defined below) all accrued but
unpaid interest on the Debenture as of the date of Closing.

 

1.2.          The redemption of the Debenture (the “Redemption”) shall take place at the
offices of Dorsey & Whitney LLP, 38 Technology Drive, Suite 100,
Irvine, California 92618, at 1:00 P.M. Pacific Time on January 9,
2009, or at such other time and place as the Company and Holder mutually agree
orally or in writing (which time and place are designated as the “Closing”).  At the Closing, Holder shall deliver to the
Company the original of the Debenture against payment by the Company of the
amounts set forth in Section 1.1 by check, wire transfer or any
combination thereof.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Holder acknowledges and agrees that, upon and as of the payment by
the Company of the amounts set forth in Section 1.1, whether or not
Holder has delivered and surrendered the original of the Debenture to the
Company, the Debenture shall be deemed null and void and cancelled in its
entirety and Holder shall have no further rights with respect to or under the
Debenture, whether such rights shall have accrued prior to or after the date
hereof.

 

2.             Representations
and Warranties.  Holder hereby
represents, warrants and acknowledges as follows:

 

2.1.          As of the date hereof, the principal
amount outstanding under the Debenture is                         
($                  )
and the accrued but unpaid interest outstanding under the Debenture is                         
($                  ).

 

 

2.2.          Holder is
the sole record and beneficial owner of the Debenture.  Upon payment of the amounts set forth in Section 1.1,
the Company will acquire good and valid title to the Debenture, free and
clear of all liens, security interests, pledges, claims and encumbrances
of every kind, nature and description incurred or created by Holder.

 

2.3.          Holder has the full right and power to
enter into this Agreement, to perform its obligations hereunder and to
consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.  The execution, delivery and performance of
this Agreement by Holder, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated
hereby, (i) have been duly authorized by all requisite organizational
action of Holder and (ii) do not and will not conflict with any law
applicable to Holder or any of its properties or assets or any provisions of
Holder’s organizational documents or contracts, agreements or other instrument
to which Holder is a party or by which any of its properties or assets may be
bound.

 

2.4.          Holder is an experienced and
sophisticated investor, having such knowledge and experience in business and
financial matters and investing as to be able to protect its own interests and
assess the risks and merits of the Redemption. 
Holder has independently determined the advisability of entering into
this Agreement and is entering into this Agreement of its own volition, and is
not relying on any representations or statements of the Company or its
officers, directors, shareholders, employees, agents, attorneys and
representatives except for those representations and statements expressly set
forth herein.

 

2.5.          Holder has had the opportunity to
consult with counsel of its choice regarding the meaning and legal effect of
this Agreement, and regarding the advisability of making the agreements
provided for herein, and fully understands the same.

 

3.             Release.  The following release shall be effective upon
the Company’s payment of the amounts set forth in Section 1.1.

 

3.1.          Other than the obligations, covenants,
representations and warranties provided for in this Agreement, Holder, for
itself and its predecessors, successors, heirs, agents and assigns
(individually and collectively, the “Releasing Parties”),
hereby waives, releases, and forever discharges Iteris and its predecessors,
successors, assigns, officers, directors, shareholders, employees, agents,
attorneys and representatives, past and present, (collectively, the “Iteris Released Parties”) of and
from any and all rights, claims, debts, liabilities, demands, obligations,
promises, damages, causes of action and claims for relief of any kind, manner,
nature and description, known or unknown, which any of the Releasing Parties
have, may have had, might have asserted, may now have or assert, or may
hereafter have or assert against the Iteris Released Parties, or any of them,
related to or arising under the Redemption and Holder’s purchase and ownership
of the Debenture.  Holder represents and
warrants that it has not filed any claims, charges, complaints or actions
against the Company and has not assigned or transferred to any person or entity
any of the claims Holder is releasing in this Agreement.

 

3.2.          The Releasing Parties acknowledge and
agree that the foregoing release includes in its effect all claims that they do
not know or suspect to exist in their favor as of the date hereof, and the
Releasing Parties expressly waive any statute, legal doctrine or other similar
limitation upon the effect of general releases. 
In particular, the Releasing Parties waive any and 

 

2

 

all rights and benefits conferred upon them
by Section 1542 of the California Civil Code, which states as follows:

 

A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT
KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE
RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER
SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.

 

4.             Governing Law.  This
Agreement shall in all respects be interpreted, enforced, and governed by and
under the internal laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any
choice of law or conflict of law principles.

 

5.             Entire Agreement.  This Agreement constitutes the entire
agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter and supersedes
all prior oral or written communications, understandings and agreements with
respect thereto.

 

6.             Headings.  The use of headings in this
Agreement is merely for convenience and such headings shall not be used in
construing any provisions of this Agreement.

 

7.             Interpretation.  Each party has had the opportunity to
negotiate modifications to the language of this Agreement and agrees that, in
any dispute regarding the interpretation or construction of this Agreement, no
presumption shall operate in favor of or against any party by virtue of its
role in drafting or not drafting the terms and conditions set forth herein.

 

8.             Severability.  If any part, term or provision of this
Agreement is held by a court to be void or voidable, illegal, unenforceable,
invalid or otherwise in conflict with law, (i) the remaining provisions or
applications of this Agreement shall not be affected and the rights and
obligations of the parties shall be construed and enforced as if this Agreement
did not contain the particular term or provision held to be invalid and (ii) such
provision shall be amended to conform as nearly as possible, and only to the
extent required, to applicable law.

 

9.             Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in several
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, and all such

SCHEDULE A

 

 

XPLORE TECHNOLOGIES CORP.

 

2009 EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN

 

I.              PURPOSE OF THE PLAN

 

This
2009 Employee Stock Purchase Plan is intended to promote the interests of
Xplore Technologies Corp., a Delaware corporation, by providing eligible
employees with the opportunity to acquire a proprietary interest in the
Corporation through participation in a payroll deduction-based employee stock
purchase plan designed to qualify under Section 423 of the Code.

 

Capitalized
terms herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the attached
Appendix.

 

II.            ADMINISTRATION OF THE
PLAN

 

The
Plan Administrator shall have full authority to interpret and construe any
provision of the Plan and to adopt such rules and regulations for
administering the Plan as it determines are necessary or appropriate in order
to comply with the requirements of Code Section 423.  Decisions of the Plan Administrator shall be
final and binding on all parties having an interest in the Plan.

 

III.           STOCK SUBJECT TO PLAN

 

A.            The
stock purchasable under the Plan shall be shares of authorized but unissued or
reacquired Common Stock, including shares of Common Stock purchased on the open
market.  The number of shares of Common
Stock initially reserved for issuance over the term of the Plan shall be
limited to 5,000,000 shares.

 

B.            Should
any change be made to the Common Stock by reason of any stock split, stock
dividend, recapitalization, combination of shares, exchange of shares or
similar change affecting the outstanding Common Stock as a class without the
Corporation’s receipt of consideration, appropriate adjustments shall be made
to (i) the maximum number and class of securities issuable under the Plan,
(ii) the maximum number and class of securities purchasable per
Participant on any one Purchase Date, (iii) the maximum number and class
of securities purchasable in total by all Participants on any one Purchase
Date, (iv) the number and class of securities and the price per share in
effect under each outstanding purchase right in order to prevent the dilution
or enlargement of benefits thereunder.

 

IV.           OFFERING PERIODS

 

A.            Shares
of Common Stock shall be offered for purchase under the Plan through a series
of offering periods until such time as (i) the maximum number of shares of
Common Stock available for issuance under the Plan shall have been purchased or
(ii) the Plan shall have been sooner terminated.

 

 

B.            Each
offering period shall be of such duration (not to exceed twenty-seven (27)
months) as determined by the Plan Administrator prior to the start date of such
offering period.  Offering periods other
than the initial offering period shall commence at annual intervals on a date
determined by the Plan Administrator each year over the term of the Plan.  Accordingly, one separate offering period may
commence, as determined by the Plan Administrator, in each calendar year the
Plan remains in existence.  However, the
initial offering period shall commence on January 1, 2009 and terminate on
March 31, 2010.

 

V.            ELIGIBILITY

 

A.            Each
individual who is an Eligible Employee on the start date of any offering period
under the Plan may enter that offering period on such start date.  However, an Eligible Employee may participate
in only one offering period at a time.

 

B.            In
order to participate in the Plan for a particular offering period, an Eligible
Employee must complete the enrollment forms prescribed by the Plan
Administrator on or before the start date of that offering period and file such
forms with the Plan Administrator (or its designee).

 

VI.           PAYROLL DEDUCTIONS

 

A.            The
payroll deduction authorized by the Participant for purposes of acquiring
shares of Common Stock during an offering period may be any multiple of one
percent (1%) of the Cash Earnings paid to the Participant during each offering
period, up to a maximum of twenty percent (20%).  The deduction rate so authorized shall
continue in effect throughout the offering period, except that the Participant
may, at any time during the offering period, reduce his or her rate of payroll
deduction (or, to the extent applicable, the percentage of Cash Earnings to
serve as his or her lump sum contribution for the initial offering period) to
become effective as soon as possible after filing the appropriate form with the
Plan Administrator.  The Participant may
not, however, effect more than one (1) such reduction per offering period
nor reduce the payroll deduction to less than one percent (1%).

 

B.            Payroll
deductions shall begin on the first pay day administratively feasible following
the start date of the offering period and shall (unless sooner terminated by
the Participant) continue through the pay day ending with or immediately prior
to the last day of that offering period. 
The amounts so collected shall be credited to the Participant’s book
account under the Plan, but no interest shall be paid on the balance from time
to time outstanding in such account.  The
amounts collected from the Participant shall not be required to be held in any
segregated account or trust fund and may be commingled with the general assets
of the Corporation and used for general corporate purposes.

 

C.            Prior
to the first Purchase Date for the first offering period under the Plan, no
payroll deductions shall be required of the Participant until such time as the
Participant affirmatively elects to commence such payroll deductions following
his or her receipt of the 1933 Act prospectus for the Plan.

 

D.            Payroll
deductions shall automatically cease upon the termination of the Participant’s
purchase right in accordance with the provisions of the Plan.

 

2

 

E.             The
Participant’s acquisition of Common Stock under the Plan on any Purchase Date
shall neither limit nor require the Participant’s acquisition of Common Stock
on any subsequent Purchase Date, whether within the same or a different
offering period.

 

VII.          PURCHASE RIGHTS

 

A.            GRANT
OF PURCHASE RIGHTS.  A Participant shall
be granted a separate purchase right for each offering period in which he or
she is enrolled.  The purchase right
shall be granted on the start date of the offering period and shall provide the
Participant with the right to purchase shares of Common Stock during the
offering period upon the terms set forth below. 
The Participant shall execute a stock purchase agreement embodying such
terms and such other provisions (not inconsistent with the Plan) as the Plan
Administrator may deem advisable.

 

Under
no circumstances shall purchase rights be granted under the Plan to any
Eligible Employee if such individual would, immediately after the grant, own
(within the meaning of Code Section 424(d)) or hold outstanding options or
other rights to purchase, stock possessing five percent (5%) or more of the
total combined voting power or value of all classes of stock of the Corporation
or any Corporate Affiliate.

 

B.            EXERCISE
OF THE PURCHASE RIGHT.  Each purchase
right shall be automatically exercised on the Purchase Date for the offering
period, and shares of Common Stock shall accordingly be purchased on behalf of
each Participant on each such Purchase Date.  The purchase shall be effected by applying the
Participant’s payroll deductions (or, to the extent applicable, his or her lump
sum contribution) for the offering period ending on such Purchase Date to the
purchase of whole shares of Common Stock at the purchase price in effect for
the Participant for that Purchase Date.

 

C.            PURCHASE
PRICE.  The purchase price per share at
which Common Stock will be purchased on the Participant’s behalf on each
Purchase Date for the particular offering period in which he or she is enrolled
shall be equal to ninety-five percent (95%) of the Fair Market Value per share
of Common Stock on the start date of that offering period.

 

D.            NUMBER
OF PURCHASABLE SHARES.  The number of
shares of Common Stock purchasable by a Participant on each Purchase Date for
the particular offering period in which he or she is enrolled shall be the
number of whole shares obtained by dividing the amount collected from the
Participant through payroll deductions during the offering period ending with that
Purchase Date (or, to the extent applicable, his or her lump sum contribution
for that offering period) by the purchase price in effect for the Participant
for that Purchase Date.  The Plan
Administrator shall have the discretionary authority, exercisable prior to the
start of any offering period under the Plan, to set limitations on the number
of shares purchasable per Participant and in total by all Participants on any Purchase
Date for that offering period.

 

E.             EXCESS
PAYROLL DEDUCTIONS.  Any payroll deductions
not applied to the purchase of shares of Common Stock on the final Purchase
Date of an Offering Period because they are not sufficient to purchase a whole
share of Common Stock or because of the limitation on the maximum number of
shares purchasable per Participant or in total by all Participants on the
Purchase Date shall be promptly refunded.

 

3

 

F.             SUSPENSION
OF PAYROLL DEDUCTIONS.  In the event that
a Participant is, by reason of the accrual limitations in Article VIII,
precluded from purchasing additional shares of Common Stock on one or more
Purchase Dates during the offering period in which he or she is enrolled, then
no further payroll deductions shall be collected from such Participant with respect
to those Purchase Dates except as described in Article VIII, Section C.  The suspension of such deductions shall not
terminate the Participant’s purchase right for the offering period in which he
or she is enrolled, and payroll deductions shall automatically resume on behalf
of such Participant once he or she is again able to purchase shares during that
offering period in compliance with the accrual limitations of Article VIII.

 

G.            WITHDRAWAL
FROM OFFERING PERIOD.  The following
provisions shall govern the Participant’s withdrawal from an offering period:

 

(i)            A
Participant may prospectively withdraw from the offering period in which he or
she is enrolled at any time prior to the next scheduled Purchase Date by filing
the appropriate form with the Plan Administrator (or its designate), and no
further payroll deductions shall be collected from the Participant with respect
to that offering period.  Any payroll
deductions collected during the offering period in which such withdrawal occurs
shall be held for the purchase of shares on the Purchase Date for that offering
period.

 

(ii)           The
Participant’s withdrawal from a particular offering period shall be
irrevocable, and the Participant may not subsequently rejoin that offering
period at a later date.  In order to
resume participation in any subsequent offering period, such individual must
re-enroll in the Plan (by making a timely filing of the prescribed enrollment
forms) on or before the start date of that offering period.

 

H.            TERMINATION
OF PURCHASE RIGHT.  The following
provisions shall govern the termination of outstanding purchase rights:

 

(i)            Should
the Participant cease to remain an Eligible Employee for any reason (including
death, disability or change in status as an Eligible Employee) while his or her
purchase right remains outstanding, then that purchase right shall be
automatically exercised on the Purchase Date for the offering period in which
the Participant ceased to be an Eligible Employee.  No payroll deductions shall be permitted on
behalf of a Participant who has ceased to be an Eligible Employee.

 

(ii)           However,
should the Participant cease to remain in active service by reason of an
approved unpaid leave of absence, then the Participant shall have the right,
exercisable up until the last business day preceding the next purchase date
after such leave commences, to (a) withdraw all the payroll deductions
collected to date on his or her behalf for that offering period or (b) have
such funds held for the purchase of shares on his or her behalf on the next
Purchase Date.  In no event, however,
shall any further payroll deductions be collected on the Participant’s behalf
during such leave.  Upon the Participant’s
return to active service (x) within ninety (90) days following the
commencement of such leave or (y) prior to the expiration of any longer
period for which such Participant’s right to reemployment with the Corporation
is guaranteed by statute or contract, his or her payroll deductions under the
Plan shall automatically resume at the rate in effect at the time the leave
began, unless the Participant withdraws from the

 

4

 

Plan prior to his or her return. 
An individual who returns to active employment following a leave of
absence that exceeds in duration the applicable (x) or (y) time
period will be treated as a new Employee for purposes of subsequent
participation in the Plan and must accordingly re-enroll in the Plan (by making
a timely filing of the prescribed enrollment forms) on or before the start date
of any subsequent offering period in which he or she wishes to participate.

 

I.              CHANGE
IN CONTROL.  Each outstanding purchase
right shall automatically be exercised, immediately prior to the effective date
of any Change in Control, by applying the payroll deductions of each
Participant for the offering period in which such Change in Control occurs to
the purchase of whole shares of Common Stock at a purchase price per share
equal to ninety-five percent (95%) of the lower of (i) the Fair Market Value
per share of Common Stock on the start date of the offering period in which
such individual is enrolled at the time of such Change in Control or (ii) the
Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock immediately prior to the effective
date of such Change in Control.  However,
the applicable limitation on the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable
per Participant shall continue to apply to any such purchase, but not the
limitation applicable to the maximum number of shares of Common Stock
purchasable in total by all Participants on any one Purchase Date.

 

The
Corporation shall, to the extent practicable, provide at least ten (10) days’
prior written notice of the occurrence of any Change in Control, and
Participants shall, following the receipt of such notice, have the right to
terminate their outstanding purchase rights prior to the effective date of the
Change in Control.

 

J.             PRORATION
OF PURCHASE RIGHTS.  Should the total
number of shares of Common Stock to be purchased pursuant to outstanding purchase
rights on any particular date exceed the number of shares then available for
issuance under the Plan, the Plan Administrator shall make a pro-rata
allocation of the available shares on a uniform and nondiscriminatory basis,
and the payroll deductions of each Participant, to the extent in excess of the
aggregate purchase price payable for the Common Stock pro-rated to such
individual, shall be refunded.

 

K.            ASSIGNABILITY.  The purchase right shall be exercisable only
by the Participant and shall not be assignable or transferable by the
Participant.

 

L.             STOCKHOLDER
RIGHTS.  A Participant shall have no
stockholder rights with respect to the shares subject to his or her outstanding
purchase right until the shares are purchased on the Participant’s behalf in
accordance with the provisions of the Plan and the Participant has become a
holder of record of the purchased shares.

 

VIII.        ACCRUAL LIMITATIONS

 

A.            No
Participant shall be entitled to accrue rights to acquire Common Stock pursuant
to any purchase right outstanding under this Plan if and to the extent such
accrual, when aggregated with (i) rights to purchase Common Stock accrued
under any other purchase right granted under this Plan and (ii) similar
rights accrued under other employee stock purchase plans (within the meaning of
Code Section 423)) of the Corporation or any Corporate Affiliate, would
otherwise permit such Participant to purchase more than Twenty-Five Thousand
Dollars ($25,000.00) worth of stock of the Corporation or any Corporate
Affiliate (determined on the

basis of the Fair Market Value per share on the date or dates such
rights are granted) for each calendar year such rights are at any time
outstanding.

 

B.            For
purposes of applying such accrual limitations to the purchase rights granted
under the Plan, the following provisions shall be in effect:

 

(i)            The
right to acquire Common Stock under each outstanding purchase right shall
accrue on each Purchase Date during the offering period in which such right
remains outstanding.

 

(ii)           No
right to acquire Common Stock under any outstanding purchase right shall accrue
to the extent the Participant has already accrued in the same calendar year the
right to acquire Common Stock under one or more other purchase rights at a rate
equal to Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000.00) worth of Common Stock
(determined on the basis of the Fair Market Value per share on the date or
dates of grant) for each calendar year such rights were at any time outstanding.

 

C.            If
by reason of such accrual limitations, any purchase right of a Participant does
not accrue for a particular offering period, then the payroll deductions that
the Participant made during that offering period with respect to such purchase
right shall be promptly refunded.

 

D.            In
the event there is any conflict between the provisions of this Article and
one or more provisions of the Plan or any instrument issued thereunder, the

IX.           EFFECTIVE DATE AND TERM
OF THE PLAN

 

A.            The
Plan was adopted by the Board on November 5, 2008, and shall become
effective at the Effective Time, provided no purchase rights granted under the
Plan shall be exercised, and no shares of Common Stock shall be issued
hereunder, until the Corporation shall have complied with all applicable
requirements of the 1933 Act (including the registration of the shares of
Common Stock issuable under the Plan on a Form S-8 registration statement
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission), all applicable listing
requirements of any stock exchange on which the Common Stock is listed for
trading and all other applicable requirements established by law or
regulation.  In the event such
stockholder approval is not obtained, or such compliance is not effected,
within twelve (12) months after the date on which the Plan is adopted by the
Board, the Plan shall terminate and have no further force or effect, and all
sums collected from Participants during the initial offering period hereunder
shall be refunded.

 

B.            Unless
sooner terminated by the Board, the Plan shall terminate upon the earliest of (i) the
last business day in December 2018, (ii) the date on which all shares
available for issuance under the Plan shall have been sold pursuant to purchase
rights exercised under the Plan or (iii) the date on which all purchase
rights are exercised in connection with a Change in Control.  No further purchase rights shall be granted
or exercised, and no further payroll deductions shall be collected, under the
Plan following such termination.

X.            AMENDMENT OF THE PLAN

 

A.            The
Board may alter, amend, suspend or terminate the Plan at any time to become
effective immediately following the close of any offering period.  However, the Plan may be amended or
terminated immediately upon Board action, if and to the extent necessary to
assure that the Corporation will not recognize, for financial reporting
purposes, any compensation expense in connection with the shares of Common
Stock offered for purchase under the Plan, should the financial accounting rules applicable
to the Plan at the Effective Time be subsequently revised so as to require the
Corporation to recognize compensation expense in the absence of such amendment
or termination.

 

B.            In
no event may the Board effect any of the following amendments or revisions to
the Plan without the approval of the Corporation’s stockholders: (i) increase
the number of shares of Common Stock issuable under the Plan, except for
permissible adjustments in the event of certain changes in the Corporation’s
capitalization, (ii) alter the purchase price formula so as to reduce the
purchase price payable for the shares of Common Stock purchasable under the
Plan or (iii) modify the eligibility requirements for participation in the
Plan.

 

XI.           GENERAL PROVISIONS

 

A.            All
costs and expenses incurred in the administration of the Plan shall be paid by
the Corporation; however, each Plan Participant shall bear all costs and
expenses incurred by such individual in the sale or other disposition of any
shares purchased under the Plan.

 

B.            All
eligible employees shall have equal rights and privileges with respect to the
Plan.  The Section 423 component of
the Plan is intended to qualify as an “employee stock purchase plan” within the
meaning of Section 423 or any successor provision of the Code and the
related regulations.  Any provision of
the Section 423 component of the Plan which is inconsistent with Section 423
or any successor provision of the Code shall without further act or amendment
by the Company or the Board be reformed to comply with the requirements of Section 423.  This Section shall take precedence over
all other provisions in the Plan.

 

C.            The
Corporation intends that no payments under this Plan will be subject to the tax
imposed by Code Section 409A.  If
the Plan Administrator grants an option or purchase right subject to U.S.
taxation (1) the Plan Administrator may not modify or amend the option or
purchase right to the extent that the modification or amendment adds a feature
that is not exempt from Code Section 409A or otherwise allows for deferred
compensation within the meaning of Code Section 409A, and (2) any
adjustment pursuant to Section III.B of this Plan will be done in a manner
consistent with Code Section 409A and Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-1
et. seq. to the extent Code Section 409A applies to such adjustment.  The Administrator will interpret and
administer the Plan in a manner that avoids the imposition of any increase in
tax under Code Section 409A(a)(1)(B), and any ambiguities herein will be
interpreted to satisfy the requirements of Code Section 409A or any
exemption thereto.

 

D.            Nothing
in the Plan shall confer upon the Participant any right to continue in the
employ of the Corporation or any Corporate Affiliate for any period of specific
duration or interfere with or otherwise restrict in any way the rights of the
Corporation (or any Corporate Affiliate employing such person) or of the
Participant, which rights are hereby expressly 

 

7

 

reserved by each, to terminate such person’s employment at any time for
any reason, with or without cause.

 

E.             The
provisions of the Plan shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware
without resort to that State’s conflict-of-laws rules.
