ATREVE SOFTWARE, INC.
  1997 STOCK OPTION PLAN    
  

(AS AMENDED AND RESTATED ON APRIL 9, 1998)  

        1.    Purpose of the Plan.    

        This
stock option plan (the "Plan") is intended to provide incentives: (a) to the officers and other employees of Atreve Software, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
"Company"), and any present or future subsidiaries of the Company (collectively, "Related Corporations"), by providing them with opportunities to purchase stock in the Company pursuant to options
granted hereunder which qualify as "incentive stock options" under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") ("ISO" or "ISOs"); and (b) to officers,
employees, consultants and directors of the Company and any present or future Related Corporations by providing them with opportunities to purchase stock in the Company pursuant to options granted
hereunder which do not qualify as ISOs ("Non-Qualified Option" or "Non-Qualified Options"). As used herein, the terms "parent" and "subsidiary" mean "parent corporation" and
"subsidiary corporation," respectively, as those terms are defined in Section 424 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder (the "Regulations"). 

        2.    Stock Subject to the Plan.    

        (a)  The
total number of shares of the authorized but unissued shares of the common stock, par value $.01 per share ("Common Stock"), of the Company for which options may be
granted under the Plan shall not exceed 2,351,667 shares, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 11 hereof. 

        (b)  If
an option granted hereunder shall expire or terminate for any reason without having been exercised in full, the unpurchased shares subject thereto shall again be
available for subsequent option grants under the Plan. 

        (c)  Stock
issuable or issued upon exercise of an option granted under the Plan may be subject to such restrictions on transfer, repurchase rights or other restrictions as
shall be determined by the Committee (as defined in Section 3 below). 

        3.    Administration of the Plan.    

        The
Plan shall be administered by the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board") or by a committee of the Board (the "Committee") consisting of two or more members of the Board, to whom
the Board may (except as provided in Section 4 hereof) delegate its authority hereunder. Hereinafter, all references in this Plan to the "Committee" shall mean the Board if no committee has
been appointed. The decisions of the Board or the Committee as to all questions of interpretation and application of the Plan shall be final, binding and conclusive on all persons. The Board or the
Committee shall have the authority to adopt, amend and rescind such rules and regulations as, in its opinion, may be advisable in the administration of the Plan. The Board or the Committee may correct
any defect or supply any omission or reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan or in any option agreement granted hereunder in the manner and to the extent it shall deem expedient to carry the Plan into
effect and shall be the sole and final judge of such expediency. No Board or Committee member shall be liable for any action or determination made in good faith. 

        If
any such Committee is appointed, the Board may from time to time appoint a member or members of the Committee in substitution for or in addition to the member or members then in
office and may fill vacancies on the Committee however caused. The Committee shall chose one of its members as Chairman and shall hold meetings at such times and places as it shall deem advisable. A
majority of the members of the Committee shall constitute a quorum and any action may be taken by a majority of those present and voting at any meeting. Any action may also be taken without the
necessity of a meeting by a written instrument signed by all members of the Committee. 

 

        With
respect to the participation of any officer or director in the Plan, his or her selection as an optionee, the number of option shares to be allocated to such officer or director,
the exercise price and vesting of the options, and all other terms and conditions of such options, shall be determined by, or only in accordance with, the recommendations of the Committee. The
provisions of the preceding sentence of this Section 3 shall not apply with respect to any option granted prior to the date of the first registration of an equity security of the Company under
Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"). 

        4.    Eligibility.    

        (a)  Options
designated as ISOs may be granted only to officers and other employees of the Company or a Related Corporation. Non-Qualified Options may be granted
to any director, officer, employee, or consultant of the Company or a Related Corporation. 

        (b)  In
determining the eligibility of an individual to be granted an option, as well as in determining the number of shares to be optioned to any individual, the Committee
shall take into account such factors as the Committee may deem relevant. 

        (c)  No
option designated as an ISO shall be granted to any employee of the Company or a Related Corporation if such employee owns, immediately prior to the grant of an
option, stock representing more than 10% of the voting power or more than 10% of the value of all classes of stock of the Company or a parent or a subsidiary, unless the purchase price for the stock
under such option shall be at least 110% of its fair market value at the time such option is granted and the option, by its terms, shall not be exercisable more than five years from the date it is
granted. In determining the stock ownership under this paragraph, the provisions of Section 424(d) of the Code shall be controlling. In determining the fair market value under this paragraph,
the provisions of Section 6 hereof shall apply. 

        The
maximum number of shares of the Company's Common Stock with respect to which an option or options may be granted to any employee in any one taxable year of the Company shall not
exceed 2,000,000 shares, taking into account shares granted during such taxable year under options that are terminated, and subject to adjustment under Section 11 hereof. 

        5.    Option Agreement.    

        Each
option shall be evidenced by an option agreement (the "Agreement") duly executed on behalf of the Company and by the optionee to whom such option is granted, which Agreement shall
comply with and be subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan. The Agreement may contain such other terms, provisions and conditions which are not inconsistent with the Plan as may be determined
by the
Committee, provided that options designated as ISOs shall meet all of the conditions for ISOs as defined in Section 422 of the Code. The date of grant of an option shall be as determined by the
Committee. More than one option may be granted to an individual. 

        6.    Exercise Price.    

        The
exercise price or prices of shares of the Company's Common Stock for options designated as Non-Qualified Options shall be as determined by the Committee, but in no event
shall the exercise price be less than the minimum legal consideration required therefor under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware or the laws of any jurisdiction in which the Company
or its successors in interest may be organized. Subject to Section 4(c) above, the exercise price or prices of shares of the Company's Common Stock for ISOs shall be not less than the fair
market value of such Common Stock at the time the option is granted as determined by the Board in accordance with the Regulations promulgated under Section 422 of the Code. If such shares are
then listed on any national securities exchange, the fair market value shall be the mean between the high and low sales prices, if any, on such exchange on the business day immediately preceding the
date of the grant of the option or, if 

2

 

none, shall be determined by taking a weighted average of the means between the highest and lowest sales prices on the nearest date before and the nearest date after the date of grant in accordance
with Treasury Regulations Section 25.2512-2. If the shares are not then listed on any such exchange, the fair market value of such shares shall be the mean between the high and low
sales prices, if any, as reported in the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation System National Market System ("NASDAQ/NMS") for the business day immediately preceding the date
of the grant of the option, or, if not so reported, shall be determined by taking a weighted average of the means between the highest and lowest sales on the nearest date before and the nearest date
after the date of grant in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 25.2512-2. If the shares are not then either listed on any such exchange or quoted in NASDAQ/NMS, the fair
market value shall be the mean between the average of the "Bid" and the average of the "Ask" prices, if any, as reported in the National Daily Quotation Service for the business day immediately
preceding the date of the grant of the option, or, if none, shall be determined by taking a weighted average of the means between the highest and lowest sales prices on the nearest date before and the
nearest date after the date of grant in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 25.2512-2. If the fair market value cannot be determined under the preceding three sentences, it
shall be determined in good faith by the Board. 

        7.    Manner of Payment; Manner of Exercise.    

        (a)  Options
granted under the Plan may provide for the payment of the exercise price as set forth in the Agreement or by delivery of (i) cash or a check payable to
the order of the Company in an amount equal to the exercise price of such options, (ii) if the Agreement with respect to the option so specifies, by delivery of the optionee's personal recourse
promissory note, which promissory note shall comply with the provisions of Section 16 of this Plan, (iii) shares of Common Stock of the Company owned by the optionee having a fair market
value equal in amount to the exercise price of the options being exercised, or (iv) any combination of (i), (ii) and (iii); provided,
however,that payment of the exercise price by delivery of shares of Common Stock of the Company owned by such optionee may be made
only if such shares have been beneficially owned by the optionee, free and clear of any risk of forfeiture, for a period of at least six (6) months prior to the time of such payment;  provided, further, however,
 that any such payment shall be made only under such circumstances and on such terms as may from time to time be established
by the Board. The fair market value of any shares of the Company's Common Stock which may be delivered upon exercise of an option shall be determined by the Board in accordance with Section 6
hereof. With the consent of the Board, payment may also be made by delivery of a properly executed exercise notice to the Company, together with a copy of irrevocable instruments to a broker to
deliver promptly to the Company the amount of sale or loan proceeds to pay the exercise price. To facilitate the foregoing, the Company may enter into agreements for coordinated procedures with one or
more brokerage firms. 

        (b)  To
the extent that the right to purchase shares under an option has accrued and is in effect, options may be exercised in full at one time or in part from time to time,
by giving written notice, signed by the person or persons exercising the option, to the Company, stating the number of shares with respect to which the option is being exercised, accompanied by
payment in full for such shares as provided in subparagraph (a) above. Upon such exercise, delivery of a certificate for fully paid non-assessable shares shall be made at the
principal office of the Company to the person or persons exercising the option at such time, during ordinary business hours, promptly following receipt of the notice by the Company, as shall be
designated in such notice, or at such time, place and manner as may be agreed upon by the Company and the person or persons exercising the option. 

3

 

        8.    Exercise of Options.    

        Subject
to the provisions of paragraphs 9 through 11, each option granted under the Plan shall be exercisable as follows: 

        (a)    Vesting.    The option shall either be fully exercisable on the date of grant or shall become exercisable
thereafter in such installments as provided for in the Option Agreement executed pursuant to Section 5 hereof. 

        (b)    Full Vesting of Installments.    Once an installment becomes exercisable it shall remain exercisable until
expiration or termination of the option, unless otherwise specified by the Committee. 

        (c)    Partial Exercise.    Each option or installment may be exercised at any time or from time to time, in whole or
in part, for up to the total number of shares with respect to which it is then exercisable. 

        (d)    Acceleration of Vesting.    The Committee shall have the right to accelerate the date of exercise of any
installment of any option; provided, however, that the Committee shall not, without the consent of an optionee, accelerate the exercise date of any
installment of any option granted to any employee as an ISO if such acceleration would violate the annual vesting limitation contained in Section 422(d) of the Code. 

        9.    Term of Options; Exercisability.    

        (a)    Term.    Subject to Section 4(c) above, each option shall expire not more than ten (10) years
from the date of the granting thereof, but shall be subject to earlier termination as may be provided in the Agreement. 

        (b)    Exercisability.    Except as otherwise provided in the Agreement, an option granted to an employee optionee who
ceases to be an employee of the Company or a Related Corporation shall be exercisable only to the extent that the right to purchase shares under such option has accrued and is in effect on the date
such optionee ceases to be an employee of the Company or such Related Corporation. 

        10.    Options Not Transferable.    The right of any optionee to exercise any option granted to him or her shall not
be assignable or transferable by such optionee otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, or the rules thereunder, and any such option shall be exercisable during the lifetime of
such optionee only by him or her. Any option granted under the Plan shall be null and void and without effect upon the bankruptcy of the optionee to whom the option is granted, or upon any attempted
assignment or transfer, except as herein provided, including without limitation any purported assignment, whether voluntary or by operation of law, pledge, hypothecation or other disposition,
attachment, divorce, trustee process or similar process, whether legal or equitable, upon such option. 

        11.    Adjustments.    Upon the occurrence of any of the following events, an optionee's rights with respect to
options granted to him or her hereunder shall be adjusted as hereinafter provided, unless otherwise specifically provided in the written agreement between the optionee and the Company relating to such
option: 

        (a)    Stock Dividends and Stock Splits.    If the shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided or combined into a
greater or smaller number of shares or if the Company shall issue any shares of Common Stock as a stock dividend on its outstanding Common Stock, the number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon
the exercise of options shall be appropriately increased or decreased proportionately, and appropriate adjustments shall be made in the purchase price per share to reflect such subdivision,
combination or stock dividend. 

        (b)    Consolidations or Mergers.    In connection with, and prior to the consummation of, a C/M Transaction (as
defined below), the Committee or the board of directors of any entity assuming the 

4

 

obligations of the Company hereunder (the "Successor Board"), shall, as to outstanding options, make appropriate provision for the continuation of such options by substituting on an equitable basis
for the shares then subject to such options the consideration payable with respect to the outstanding shares of Common Stock in connection with the C/M Transaction. For purposes hereof, a "C/M
Transaction" shall mean (i) a merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another entity in a transaction where the Company is not the resulting or surviving entity or (ii) a
merger of the Company with or into another entity in a transaction where the shares of the Company's capital stock outstanding immediately prior to the closing of such merger are converted into or
exchanged for cash, other property or securities of an entity other than the Company. 

        (c)    Recapitalization or Reorganization.    In the event of a recapitalization or reorganization of the Company
(other than a transaction described in subparagraph (b) above) pursuant to which securities of the Company or of another corporation are issued with respect to the outstanding shares of Common
Stock, an optionee upon exercising an option shall be entitled to receive for the purchase price paid upon such exercise the securities he would have received if he had exercised his option prior to
such recapitalization or reorganization. 

        (d)    Modification of ISOs.    Notwithstanding the foregoing, any adjustments made pursuant to subparagraphs (a),
(b) or (c) with respect to ISOs shall be made only after the Committee, after consulting with counsel for the Company, determines whether such adjustments would constitute a
"modification" of such ISOs (as that term is defined in Section 424 of the Code) or would cause any adverse tax consequences for the holders of such ISOs. If the Committee determines that such
adjustments made with respect to ISOs would constitute a modification of such ISOs, it may refrain from making such adjustments. 

        (e)    Dissolution or Liquidation.    In the event of the proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company, each
option will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed action or at such other time and subject to such other conditions as shall be determined by the Board. 

        (f)    Issuances of Securities.    Except as expressly provided herein, no issuance by the Company of shares of stock
of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number or price of shares subject to
options. No adjustments shall be made for dividends paid in cash or in property other than securities of the Company. 

        (g)    Fractional Shares.    No fractional shares shall be issued under the Plan and the optionee shall receive from
the Company cash in lieu of such fractional shares. 

        (h)    Adjustments.    Upon the happening of any of the events described in subparagraphs (a), (b) or
(c) above, the class and aggregate number of shares set forth in Section 2 hereof that are subject to options which previously have been or subsequently may be granted under the Plan
shall also be appropriately adjusted to reflect the events described in such subparagraphs. The Committee or the Successor Board shall determine the specific adjustments to be made under this
paragraph 11 and, subject to Section 3, its determination shall be conclusive. 

        If
any person or entity owning restricted Common Stock obtained by exercise of an option made hereunder receives shares or securities or cash in connection with a corporate transaction
described in subparagraphs (a), (b) or (c) above as a result of owning such restricted Common Stock, such shares or securities or cash shall be subject to all of the conditions and
restrictions applicable to the restricted Common Stock with respect to which such shares or securities or cash were issued, unless otherwise determined by the Committee or the Successor Board. 

5

 

        12.    No Employment Rights.    

        Nothing
contained in the Plan or in any option granted under the Plan shall confer upon any option holder any right with respect to the continuation of his employment by the Company (or
any subsidiary) or interfere in any way with the right of the Company (or any subsidiary), subject to the terms of any separate employment agreement to the contrary, at any time to terminate such
employment or to increase or decrease the compensation of the option holder from the rate in existence at the time of the grant of an option. Whether an authorized leave of absence, or absence in
military or government service, shall constitute termination of employment shall be determined by the Committee at the time. 

        13.    Withholding.    

        The
Company's obligation to deliver shares upon the exercise of any option granted under the Plan shall be subject to the option holder's satisfaction of all applicable Federal, state
and local income, excise and employment tax withholding requirements. The Company and employee may agree to withhold shares of Common Stock purchased upon exercise of an option to satisfy the above-
mentioned withholding requirements. With the approval of the Committee, which it shall have sole discretion to grant, and on such terms and conditions as the Committee may impose, the option holder
may satisfy the foregoing condition by electing to have the Company withhold from delivery shares having a value equal to the amount of tax to be withheld. The Committee shall also have the right to
require that shares be withheld from delivery to satisfy such condition. 

        14.    Restrictions on Issue of Shares.    

        (a)  Notwithstanding
the provisions of Section 7, the Company may delay the issuance of shares covered by the exercise of an option and the delivery of a certificate
for such shares until one of the following conditions shall be satisfied: 

          (i)  The
shares with respect to which such option has been exercised are at the time of the issuance of such shares effectively registered or qualified under applicable
federal and state securities laws now in force or as hereafter amended; or 

        (ii)  Counsel
for the Company shall have given an opinion, which opinion shall not be unreasonably conditioned or withheld, that such shares are exempt from registration and
qualification under applicable federal and state securities laws now in force or as hereafter amended. 

        (b)  It
is intended that all exercises of options shall be effective, and the Company shall use its best efforts to bring about compliance with the above conditions within a
reasonable time, except that the Company shall be under no obligation to qualify shares or to cause a registration statement or a post- effective amendment to any registration statement to
be prepared for the purpose of covering the issuance of shares in respect of which any option may be exercised, except as otherwise agreed to by the Company in writing. 

        15.    Purchase for Investment; Rights of Holder on Subsequent Registration.    

        Unless
the shares to be issued upon exercise of an option granted under the Plan have been effectively registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as now in force or hereafter amended,
the Company shall be under no obligation to issue any shares covered by any option unless the person who exercises such option, in whole or in part, shall give a written representation and undertaking
to the Company which is satisfactory in form and scope to counsel for the Company and upon which, in the opinion of such counsel, the Company may reasonably rely, that he or she is acquiring the
shares issued pursuant to such exercise of the option for his or her own account as an investment and not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, the distribution of any such shares, and that
he or she will make no transfer of the same except in compliance with any rules and regulations in force at the time of such 

6

 

transfer under the Securities Act of 1933, or any other applicable law, and that if shares are issued without such registration, a legend to this effect may be endorsed upon the securities so issued.
In the event that the Company shall, nevertheless, deem it necessary or desirable to register under the Securities Act of 1933 or other applicable statutes any shares with respect to which an option
shall have been exercised, or to qualify any such shares for exemption from the Securities Act of 1933 or other applicable statutes, then the Company may take such action and may require from each
optionee such information in writing for use in any registration statement, supplementary registration statement,
prospectus, preliminary prospectus or offering circular as is reasonably necessary for such purpose and may require reasonable indemnity to the Company and its officers and directors and controlling
persons from such holder against all losses, claims, damages and liabilities arising from such use of the information so furnished and caused by any untrue statement of any material fact therein or
caused by the omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances under which they were made. 

        16.    Loans.    

        The
Company may make loans to optionees to permit them to exercise options. If loans are made, the requirements of all applicable federal and state laws and regulations regarding such
loans must be met. 

        17.    Approval of Stockholders.    

        The
Plan shall be subject to approval by the vote of stockholders holding at least a majority of the voting stock of the Company voting in person or by proxy at a duly held stockholders'
meeting, or by written consent of stockholders holding at least a majority of the voting stock of the Company, within twelve (12) months after the adoption of the Plan by the Board and shall
take effect as of the date of adoption by the Board upon such approval. The Committee may grant options under the Plan prior to such approval, but any such option shall become effective as of the date
of grant only upon such approval and, accordingly, no such option may be exercisable prior to such approval. 

        18.    Termination and Amendment.    

        Unless
sooner terminated as herein provided, the Plan shall terminate ten (10) years from the date upon which the Plan was duly adopted by the Board. The Committee may at any time
terminate the Plan or make such modification or amendment thereof as it deems advisable; provided, however, that except as provided in this
Section 18, the Committee may not, without the approval of the stockholders of the Company obtained in the manner stated in Section 17, increase the maximum number of shares for which
options may be granted or change the designation of the class of persons eligible to receive options under the Plan. The Committee may grant options to persons hereunder after an amendment to the Plan
by the Committee requiring stockholder approval under this Section 18, but any such option shall become effective as of the date of grant only upon such approval and, accordingly, no such
option may be exercisable prior to such approval. The Committee may terminate, amend or modify any outstanding option with or without the consent of the option holder;  provided, however, that, except as
provided in Section 11, without the consent of the optionee, the Committee shall not change the number of
shares subject to an option, nor the exercise price thereof, nor extend the term of such option. 

        19.    Reservation of Stock.    

        The
Company shall at all times during the term of the Plan reserve and keep available such number of shares of stock as will be sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the Plan and
shall pay all fees and expenses necessarily incurred by the Company in connection therewith. 

7

 

        20.    Limitation of Rights in the Option Shares.    

        An
optionee shall not be deemed for any purpose to be a stockholder of the Company with respect to any of the options except to the extent that the option shall have been exercised with
respect thereto, the exercise price shall have been paid in full, the optionee shall have complied with all applicable provisions of the Plan and the agreement pursuant to which such options were
granted and, in addition, a certificate shall have been issued theretofore and delivered to the optionee. 

        21.    Notices.    

        Any
communication or notice required or permitted to be given under the Plan shall be in writing, and mailed by registered or certified mail or delivered by hand, if to the Company, to
its principal place of business, attention: President, and, if to an optionee, to the address as appearing on the records of the Company.

Amendment
  To
  Atreve Software, Inc. 1997 Stock Option Plan    
  

        The Atreve Software, Inc. 1997 Stock Option Plan is hereby amended effective March 29, 2000 as follows (the "Plan"): 

        A.    A
new Section 22 is added as follows: 

        22.  Definitions

        "Cause"
means (i) any act of personal dishonesty taken by the Participant in connection with his responsibilities as an employee and intended to result in substantial personal
enrichment of the Participant, (ii) the conviction of a felony, (iii) a willful act by the Participant that constitutes gross misconduct and that is injurious to the Company,
(iv) for a period of not less than thirty (30) days following delivery to the Participant of a written demand for performance from the Company that describes the basis for the Company's
belief that the Participant has not substantially performed his duties, continued violations by the Participant of the Participant's obligations to the Company that are demonstrably willful and
deliberate on the Participant's part or (v) as otherwise provided in an option agreement. 

        "Change
of Control" means the occurrence of any of the following: 

          (i)  Any
"person" (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) becomes the "beneficial owner" (as defined in
Rule 13d-3 under said Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing more than fifty percent (50%) of the total voting power represented by the Company's
then outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors; 

        (ii)  Any
action or event occurring within a two-year period, as a result of which fewer than a majority of the directors are Incumbent Directors. "Incumbent
Directors" shall mean directors who either (A) are directors of the Company as of the date hereof, or (B) are elected, or nominated for election, to the Board with the affirmative votes
of at least a majority of the Incumbent Directors at the time of such election or nomination (but shall not include an individual whose election or nomination is in connection with an actual or
threatened proxy contest relating to the election of directors to the Company); 

        (iii)  The
consummation of a merger or consolidation of the Company with any other corporation, other than a merger or consolidation which would result in the voting
securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior thereto continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the surviving entity or the
entity that controls such surviving entity) at least fifty percent (50%) of the total voting power represented by the voting securities of the Company, such surviving entity or entity that controls
such surviving entity outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation; or 

        (iv)  The
consummation of the sale or disposition by the Company of all or substantially all of the Company's assets. 

        B.
A new Section 23 is added as follows: 

        23.  Termination
of Service (Except by Death). Notwithstanding the exercise periods set forth in the Stock Option Agreement, exercise of an Option shall always be subject to
the following: 

        If
the Optionee is Terminated for any reason except death or Disability, then Optionee may exercise such Optionee's Options only to the extent that such Options would have been 

9

 

exercisable upon the Termination Date no later than three (3) months after the Termination Date (or such shorter time period as may be specified in the Stock Option Agreement), but in any
event, no later than the expiration date of the Options. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company or any successor thereto terminates the Optionee's employment without Cause within twelve months
following a Change of Control, the Optionee's Options, and restricted stock acquired upon exercise of the Optionee's Options or otherwise granted under the Plan shall become 100% vested and
exercisable; provided, however, that no such acceleration shall occur in the event that it would preclude accounting for any business combination of the Company involving a Change of Control as a
"pooling of interests." 

        Notwithstanding
any other provisions of the Plan or any Award Agreement or other related agreement, in the event that any payment or benefit received or to be received by the Optionee
(whether pursuant to the terms of the Plan, any Award Agreement or other related agreement, or other plan, arrangement or agreement with the Company, any person whose actions result in a Change in
Control or any person affiliated with the Company or such person) (all such payments and benefits being hereinafter called "Total Payments") would be subject (in whole or part), to any excise tax
imposed under Section 4999 of the Code (the "Excise Tax"), then, after taking into account any reduction in the Total Payments provided by reason of Section 280G of the Code in such
other plan, arrangement or agreement, the payment or benefit received or to be received by the Optionee (whether pursuant to the terms of t he Plan, any Option Agreement, Restricted Stock Purchase
Agreement or other related agreement) shall be reduced, to the extent necessary so that no portion of the Total Payments is subject
to the Excise Tax but only if (A) the net amount of such Total Payments, as so reduced (and after subtracting the net amount of federal, state and local income taxes on such reduced Total
Payments) is greater than or equal to (B) the net amount of such Total Payments without such reduction (but after subtracting the net amount of federal, state and local income taxes on such
Total Payments and the amount of Excise Tax to which the Optionee would be subject in respect of such unreduced Total Payments). 

        Unless
the Company and the Optionee otherwise agree in writing, any determination required under this Section shall be made in writing by the Company's independent public accountants
(the "Accountants"), whose determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Optionee and the Company for all purposes. For purposes of making the calculations required by this Section, the
Accountants may make reasonable assumptions and approximations concerning applicable taxes and may rely on reasonable, good faith interpretations concerning the application of Sections 280G and 4999
of the Code. The Company and the Optionee shall furnish to the Accountants such information and documents as the Accountants may reasonably request in order to make a determination under this Section.
The Company shall bear all costs the Accountants may reasonably incur in connection with any calculations contemplated by thi s Section.

C2B TECHNOLOGIES INCORPORATED 1997 STOCK PLAN    
  

        Section 1.    Establishment and Purpose.    

        The
purpose of the Plan is to offer selected individuals an opportunity to acquire a proprietary interest in the success of the Company, or to increase such interest, by purchasing
Shares of the Company's Stock. The Plan provides both for the direct award or sale of Shares and for the grant of Options to purchase Shares. Options granted under the Plan may include Nonstatutory
Options as well as ISOs intended to qualify under Section 422 of the Code. 

        Capitalized
terms are defined in Section 12. 

        Section 2.    Administration.    

        (a)  Committees of the Board of Directors. The Plan may be administered by one or more Committees. Each Committee shall
consist of one or more members of the Board of Directors who have been appointed by the Board of Directors. Each Committee shall have such authority and be responsible for such functions as the Board
of Directors has assigned to it. If no Committee has been appointed, the entire Board of Directors shall administer the Plan. Any reference to the Board of Directors in the Plan shall be construed as
a reference to the Committee (if any) to whom the Board of Directors has assigned a particular function. 

        (b)  Authority of the Board of Directors. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Board of Directors shall have full
authority and discretion to take any actions it deems necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan. All decisions, interpretations and other actions of the Board of Directors shall be
final and binding on all Purchasers, all Optionees and all persons deriving their rights from a Purchaser or Optionee. 

        Section 3.    Eligibility.    

        (a)  General Rule. Only Employees, Outside Directors and Consultants shall be eligible for the grant of Options or the direct
award or sale of Shares. Only Employees shall be eligible for the grant of ISOs. 

        (b)  Ten-Percent Stockholders. An individual who owns more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all
classes of outstanding stock of the Company, its Parent or any of its Subsidiaries shall not be eligible for designation as an Optionee or Purchaser unless (i) the Exercise Price is at least
110% of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant, (ii) the Purchase Price (if any) is at least 100% of the Fair Market Value of a Share and (iii) in the case of an ISO, such
ISO by its terms is not exercisable after the expiration of five years from the date of grant. For purposes of this Subsection (b), in determining stock ownership, the attribution rules of
Section 424(d) of the Code shall be applied. 

        Section 4.    Stock Subject to Plan.    

        (a)  Basic Limitation. Shares offered under the Plan may be authorized but unissued Shares or treasury Shares. The aggregate
number of Shares that may be issued under the Plan (upon exercise of Options or other rights to acquire Shares) shall not exceed 1,215,306(1) Shares, subject to adjustment pursuant to
Section 8. The number of Shares that are subject to Options or other rights outstanding at any time under the Plan shall not exceed the number of Shares that then remain available for issuance
under the Plan. The Company, during the term of the Plan, shall at all times reserve and keep available sufficient Shares to satisfy the requirements of the Plan. 

	(1)
	Reflects
the 3-for-1 stock split effective July 1997 and the 70,000-share increase authorized by the Board of Directors on April 17,
1998, subject to stockholder approval. Reflects the 2-for-1 stock split effective July 1998 and the 560,306 share increase authorized by the Board of Directors on
July 22, 1998, subject to stockholder approval. 

        (b)  Additional Shares. In the event that any outstanding Option or other right for any reason expires or is canceled or
otherwise terminated, the Shares allocable to the unexercised portion of 

 

such Option or other right shall again be available for the purposes of the Plan. In the event that Shares issued under the Plan are reacquired by the Company pursuant to any forfeiture provision,
right of repurchase or right of first refusal, such Shares shall again be available for the purposes of the Plan, except that the aggregate number of Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of
ISOs shall in no event exceed 1,215,306 Shares (subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 8). 

        Section 5.    Terms and Conditions of Awards or Sales.    

        (a)  Stock Purchase Agreement. Each award or sale of Shares under the Plan (other than upon exercise of an Option) shall be
evidenced by a Stock Purchase Agreement between the Purchaser and the Company. Such award or sale shall be subject to all applicable terms and conditions of the Plan and may be subject to any other
terms and conditions which are not inconsistent with the Plan and which the Board of Directors deems appropriate for inclusion in a Stock Purchase Agreement. The provisions of the various Stock
Purchase Agreements entered into under the Plan need not be identical. 

        (b)  Duration of Offers and Nontransferability of Rights. Any right to acquire Shares under the Plan (other than an Option)
shall automatically expire if not exercised by the Purchaser within 30 days after the grant of such right was communicated to the Purchaser by the Company. Such right shall not be transferable
and shall be exercisable only by the Purchaser to whom such right was granted. 

        (c)  Purchase Price. The Purchase Price of Shares to be offered under the Plan shall not be less than 85% of the Fair Market
Value of such Shares, and a higher percentage may be required by Section 3(b). Subject to the preceding sentence, the Purchase Price shall be determined by the Board of Directors at its sole
discretion. The Purchase Price shall be payable in a form described in Section 7. 

        (d)  Withholding Taxes. As a condition to the purchase of Shares, the Purchaser shall make such arrangements as the Board of
Directors may require for the satisfaction of any federal, state, local or foreign withholding tax obligations that may arise in connection with such purchase. 

        (e)  Restrictions on Transfer of Shares and Minimum Vesting. Any Shares awarded or sold under the Plan shall be subject to
such special forfeiture conditions, rights of repurchase, rights of first refusal and other transfer restrictions as the Board of Directors may determine. Such restrictions shall be set forth in the
applicable Stock Purchase Agreement and shall apply in addition to any restrictions that may apply to holders of Shares generally. In the case of a Purchaser who is not an officer of the Company, an
Outside Director or a Consultant, any right to repurchase the Purchaser's Shares at the original Purchase Price (if any) upon termination of the Purchaser's Service shall lapse at least as rapidly as
20% per year over the five-year period commencing on the date of the award or sale of the Shares. Any such repurchase right may be exercised only within 90 days after the
termination of the Purchaser's Service for cash or for cancellation of indebtedness incurred in purchasing the Shares. 

        (f)    Accelerated Vesting. Unless the applicable Stock Purchase Agreement provides otherwise, any right to repurchase a
Purchaser's Shares at the original Purchase Price (if any) upon termination of the Purchaser's Service shall lapse and all of such Shares shall become vested if (i) the Company is subject to a
Change in Control and (ii) the repurchase right is not assigned to the entity that employs the Purchaser immediately after the Change in Control or to its parent or subsidiary. 

        Section 6.    Terms and Conditions of Options.    

        (a)  Stock Option Agreement. Each grant of an Option under the Plan shall be evidenced by a Stock Option Agreement between the
Optionee and the Company. Such Option shall be subject to 

2

 

all applicable terms and conditions of the Plan and may be subject to any other terms and conditions which are not inconsistent with the Plan and which the Board of Directors deems appropriate for
inclusion in a Stock Option Agreement. The provisions of the various Stock Option Agreements entered into under the Plan need not be identical. 

        (b)  Number of Shares. Each Stock Option Agreement shall specify the number of Shares that are subject to the Option and shall
provide for the adjustment of such number in accordance with Section 8. The Stock Option Agreement shall also specify whether the Option is an ISO or a Nonstatutory Option. 

        (c)  Exercise Price. Each Stock Option Agreement shall specify the Exercise Price. The Exercise Price of an ISO shall not be
less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant, and a higher percentage may be required by Section 3(b). The Exercise Price of a Nonstatutory Option shall not be less
than 85% of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant, and a higher percentage may be required by Section 3(b). Subject to the preceding two sentences, the Exercise Price under any
Option shall be determined by the Board of Directors at its sole discretion. The Exercise Price shall be payable in a form described in Section 7. 

        (d)  Withholding Taxes. As a condition to the exercise of an Option, the Optionee shall make such arrangements as the Board of
Directors may require for the satisfaction of any federal, state, local or foreign withholding tax obligations that may arise in connection with such exercise. The Optionee shall also make such
arrangements as the Board of Directors may require for the satisfaction of any federal, state, local or foreign withholding tax obligations that may arise in connection with the disposition of Shares
acquired by exercising an Option. 

        (e)  Exercisability. Each Stock Option Agreement shall specify the date when all or any installment of the Option is to become
exercisable. In the case of an Optionee who is not an officer of the Company, an Outside Director or a Consultant, an Option shall become exercisable at least as rapidly as 20% per year over the
five-year period commencing on the date of grant. Subject to the preceding sentence, the
exercisability provisions of any Stock Option Agreement shall be determined by the Board of Directors at its sole discretion. 

        (f)    Accelerated Exercisability. Unless the applicable Stock Option Agreement provides otherwise, all of an Optionee's Options
shall become exercisable in full if (i) the Company is subject to a Change in Control, (ii) such Options do not remain outstanding, (iii) such Options are not assumed by the
surviving corporation or its parent and (iv) the surviving corporation or its parent does not substitute options with substantially the same terms for such Options. 

        (g)  Basic Term. The Stock Option Agreement shall specify the term of the Option. The term shall not exceed 10 years
from the date of grant, and a shorter term may be required by Section 3(b). Subject to the preceding sentence, the Board of Directors at its sole discretion shall determine when an Option is to
expire. 

        (h)  Nontransferability. No Option shall be transferable by the Optionee other than by beneficiary designation, will or the
laws of descent and distribution. An Option may be exercised during the lifetime of the Optionee only by the Optionee or by the Optionee's guardian or legal representative. No Option or interest
therein may be transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated by the Optionee during the Optionee's lifetime, whether by operation of law or otherwise, or be made subject to execution, attachment or
similar process. 

        (i)    Termination of Service (Except by Death). If an Optionee's Service terminates for any reason other than the Optionee's
death, then the Optionee's Options shall expire on the earliest of the following occasions: 

          (i)  The
expiration date determined pursuant to Subsection (g) above; 

3

 

        (ii)  The
date three months after the termination of the Optionee's Service for any reason other than Disability; or 

        (iii)  The
date six months after the termination of the Optionee's Service by reason of Disability. 

        The
Optionee may exercise all or part of the Optionee's Options at any time before the expiration of such Options under the preceding sentence, but only to the extent that such Options
had become
exercisable before the Optionee's Service terminated (or became exercisable as a result of the termination) and the underlying Shares had vested before the Optionee's Service terminated (or vested as
a result of the termination). The balance of such Options shall lapse when the Optionee's Service terminates. In the event that the Optionee dies after the termination of the Optionee's Service but
before the expiration of the Optionee's Options, all or part of such Options may be exercised (prior to expiration) by the executors or administrators of the Optionee's estate or by any person who has
acquired such Options directly from the Optionee by beneficiary designation, bequest or inheritance, but only to the extent that such Options had become exercisable before the Optionee's Service
terminated (or became exercisable as a result of the termination) and the underlying Shares had vested before the Optionee's Service terminated (or vested as a result of the termination). 

        (j)    Leaves of Absence. For purposes of Subsection (i) above, Service shall be deemed to continue while the Optionee is
on a bona fide leave of absence, if such leave was approved by the Company in writing and if continued crediting of Service for this purpose is expressly required by the terms of such leave or by
applicable law (as determined by the Company). 

        (k)  Death of Optionee. If an Optionee dies while the Optionee is in Service, then the Optionee's Options shall expire on the
earlier of the following dates: 

          (i)  The
expiration date determined pursuant to Subsection (g) above; or 

        (ii)  The
date 12 months after the Optionee's death. 

        All
or part of the Optionee's Options may be exercised at any time before the expiration of such Options under the preceding sentence by the executors or administrators of the Optionee's
estate or by any person who has acquired such Options directly from the Optionee by beneficiary designation, bequest or inheritance, but only to the extent that such Options had become exercisable
before the Optionee's death or became exercisable as a result of the death. The balance of such Options shall lapse when the Optionee dies. 

        (l)    No Rights as a Stockholder. An Optionee, or a transferee of an Optionee, shall have no rights as a stockholder with
respect to any Shares covered by the Optionee's Option until such person becomes entitled to receive such Shares by filing a notice of exercise and paying the Exercise Price pursuant to the terms of
such Option. 

        (m)  Modification, Extension and Assumption of Options. Within the limitations of the Plan, the Board of Directors may modify,
extend or assume outstanding Options or may accept the cancellation of outstanding Options (whether granted by the Company or another issuer) in return for the grant of new Options for the same or a
different number of Shares and at the same or a different Exercise
Price. The foregoing notwithstanding, no modification of an Option shall, without the consent of the Optionee, impair the Optionee's rights or increase the Optionee's obligations under such Option. 

        (n)  Restrictions on Transfer of Shares and Minimum Vesting. Any Shares issued upon exercise of an Option shall be subject to
such special forfeiture conditions, rights of repurchase, rights of first refusal and other transfer restrictions as the Board of Directors may determine. Such restrictions shall be set forth in the
applicable Stock Option Agreement and shall apply in addition 

4

 

to any restrictions that may apply to holders of Shares generally. In the case of an Optionee who is not an officer of the Company, an Outside Director or a Consultant, any right to repurchase the
Optionee's Shares at the original Exercise Price upon termination of the Optionee's Service shall lapse at least as rapidly as 20% per year over the five-year period commencing on the date
of the option grant. Any such repurchase right may be exercised only within 90 days after the termination of the Optionee's Service for cash or for cancellation of indebtedness incurred in
purchasing the Shares. 

        (o)  Accelerated Vesting. Unless the applicable Stock Option Agreement provides otherwise, any right to repurchase an
Optionee's Shares at the original Exercise Price upon termination of the Optionee's Service shall lapse and all of such Shares shall become vested if (i) the Company is subject to a Change in
Control and (ii) the repurchase right is not assigned to the entity that employs the Optionee immediately after the Change in Control or to its parent or subsidiary. 

        Section 7.    Payment for Shares.    

        (a)  General Rule. The entire Purchase Price or Exercise Price of Shares issued under the Plan shall be payable in cash or
cash equivalents at the time when such Shares are purchased, except as otherwise provided in this Section 7. 

        (b)  Surrender of Stock. To the extent that a Stock Option Agreement so provides, all or any part of the Exercise Price may be
paid by surrendering, or attesting to the ownership of, Shares that are already owned by the Optionee. Such Shares shall be surrendered to the Company in good form for transfer and shall be valued at
their Fair Market Value on the date when the Option is exercised. The Optionee shall not surrender, or attest to the ownership of, Shares in payment of the Exercise Price if such action would cause
the Company to recognize compensation expense (or additional compensation expense) with respect to the Option for financial reporting purposes. 

        (c)  Services Rendered. At the discretion of the Board of Directors, Shares may be awarded under the Plan in consideration of
services rendered to the Company, a Parent or a Subsidiary prior to the award. 

        (d)  Promissory Note. To the extent that a Stock Option Agreement or Stock Purchase Agreement so provides, all or a portion of
the Exercise Price or Purchase Price (as the case may be) of Shares issued under the Plan may be paid with a full-recourse promissory note. The par value of the Shares, if newly issued,
shall be paid in cash or cash equivalents. The Shares shall be pledged as security for payment of the principal amount of the promissory note and interest thereon. The interest rate payable under the
terms of the promissory note shall not be less than the minimum rate (if any) required to avoid the imputation of additional interest under the Code. Subject to the foregoing, the Board of Directors
(at its sole discretion) shall specify the term, interest rate, amortization requirements (if any) and other provisions of such note. 

        (e)  Exercise/Sale. To the extent that a Stock Option Agreement so provides, and if Stock is publicly traded, payment may be
made all or in part by the delivery (on a form prescribed by the Company) of an irrevocable direction to a securities broker approved by the Company to sell Shares and to deliver all or part of the
sales proceeds to the Company in payment of all or part of the Exercise Price and any withholding taxes. 

        (f)    Exercise/Pledge. To the extent that a Stock Option Agreement so provides, and if Stock is publicly traded, payment may be
made all or in part by the delivery (on a form prescribed by the Company) of an irrevocable direction to pledge Shares to a securities broker or lender approved by the Company, as security for a loan,
and to deliver all or part of the loan proceeds to the Company in payment of all or part of the Exercise Price and any withholding taxes. 

5

 

        Section 8.    Adjustment of Shares.

        (a)  General. In the event of a subdivision of the outstanding Stock, a declaration of a dividend payable in Shares, a
declaration of an extraordinary dividend payable in a form other than Shares in an amount that has a material effect on the Fair Market Value of the Stock, a combination or consolidation of the
outstanding Stock into a lesser number of Shares, a recapitalization, a spin-off, a reclassification or a similar occurrence, the Board of Directors shall make appropriate adjustments in
one or more of (i) the number of Shares available for future grants under Section 4, (ii) the number of Shares covered by each outstanding Option or (iii) the Exercise
Price under each outstanding Option. 

        (b)  Mergers and Consolidations. In the event that the Company is a party to a merger or consolidation, outstanding Options
shall be subject to the agreement of merger or consolidation. Such agreement, without the Optionees' consent, may provide for: 

          (i)  The
continuation of such outstanding Options by the Company (if the Company is the surviving corporation); 

        (ii)  The
assumption of the Plan and such outstanding Options by the surviving corporation or its parent; 

        (iii)  The
substitution by the surviving corporation or its parent of options with substantially the same terms for such outstanding Options; or 

        (iv)  The
cancellation of such outstanding Options without payment of any consideration. 

        (c)  Reservation of Rights. Except as provided in this Section 8, an Optionee or Purchaser shall have no rights by
reason of (i) any subdivision or consolidation of shares of stock of any class, (ii) the payment of any dividend or (iii) any other increase or decrease in the number of shares of
stock of any class. Any issuance by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall not affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof
shall be made with respect to, the number or Exercise Price of Shares subject to an Option. The grant of an Option pursuant to the Plan shall not affect in any way the right or power of the Company to
make adjustments, reclassifications, reorganizations or changes of its capital or business structure, to merge or consolidate or to dissolve, liquidate, sell or transfer all or any part of its
business or assets. 

        Section 9.    Securities Law Requirements.    

        (a)  General. Shares shall not be issued under the Plan unless the issuance and delivery of such Shares comply with (or are
exempt from) all applicable requirements of law, including (without limitation) the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, state securities laws and
regulations, and the regulations of any stock exchange or other securities market on which the Company's securities may then be traded. 

        (b)  Financial Reports. The Company each year shall furnish to Optionees, Purchasers and stockholders who have received Stock
under the Plan its balance sheet and income statement, unless such Optionees, Purchasers or stockholders are key Employees whose duties with the Company assure them access to equivalent information.
Such balance sheet and income statement need not be audited. 

        Section 10.    No Retention Rights.    

        Nothing
in the Plan or in any right or Option granted under the Plan shall confer upon the Purchaser or Optionee any right to continue in Service for any period of specific duration or
interfere with or otherwise restrict in any way the rights of the Company (or any Parent or Subsidiary employing or retaining the Purchaser or Optionee) or of the Purchaser or Optionee, which rights
are hereby 

6

 

expressly reserved by each, to terminate his or her Service at any time and for any reason, with or without cause. 

        Section 11.    Duration and Amendments.    

        (a)  Term of the Plan. The Plan, as set forth herein, shall become effective on the date of its adoption by the Board of
Directors, subject to the approval of the Company's stockholders. In the event that the stockholders fail to approve the Plan within 12 months after its adoption by the Board of Directors, any
grants of Options or sales or awards of Shares that have already occurred shall be rescinded, and no additional grants, sales or awards shall be made thereafter under the Plan. The Plan shall
terminate automatically 10 years after its adoption by the Board of Directors and may be terminated on any earlier date pursuant to Subsection (b) below. 

        (b)  Right to Amend or Terminate the Plan. The Board of Directors may amend, suspend or terminate the Plan at any time and for
any reason; provided, however, that any amendment of the Plan which increases the number of Shares available for issuance under the Plan (except as provided in Section 8), or which materially
changes the class of persons who are eligible for the grant of ISOs, shall be subject to the approval of the Company's stockholders. Stockholder approval shall not be required for any other amendment
of the Plan. 

        (c)  Effect of Amendment or Termination. No Shares shall be issued or sold under the Plan after the termination thereof,
except upon exercise of an Option granted prior to such termination. The termination of the Plan, or any amendment thereof, shall not affect any Share previously issued or any Option previously
granted under the Plan. 

        Section 12.    Definitions.    

        (a)  "Board of Directors" shall mean the Board of Directors of the Company, as constituted from time to time. 

        (b)  "Change in Control" shall mean: 

          (i)  The
consummation of a merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another entity or any other corporate reorganization, if more than 50% of the combined voting
power of the continuing or surviving entity's securities outstanding immediately after such merger, consolidation or other

Amendment
  To
  C2B Technologies Incorporated 1997 Stock Plan    
  

        The
C2B Technologies Incorporated 1997 Stock Plan is hereby amended effective March 29, 2000 as follows (the "Plan"): 

        A.    Section 12
is amended by adding the following definition: 

        "Cause"
means (i) any act of personal dishonesty taken by the Optionee in connection with his responsibilities as an employee and intended to result in substantial personal
enrichment of the Optionee, (ii) the conviction of a felony, (iii) a willful act by the Optionee that constitutes gross misconduct and that is injurious to the Company, (iv) for a
period of not less than thirty (30) days following delivery to the Optionee of a written demand for performance from the Company that describes the basis for the Company's belief that the
Optionee has not substantially performed his duties, continued violations by the Optionee of the Optionee's obligations to the Company that are demonstrably willful and deliberate on the Optionee's
part or (v) as otherwise provided in an option agreement. 

        B.    Section 12
is amended by replacing, in its entirety, the following definition: 

        "Change
of Control" means the occurrence of any of the following: 

          (i)  Any
"person" (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) becomes the "beneficial owner" (as defined in
Rule 13d-3 under said Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing more than fifty percent (50%) of the total voting power represented by the Company's
then outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors; 

        (ii)  Any
action or event occurring within a two-year period, as a result of which fewer than a majority of the directors are Incumbent Directors. "Incumbent
Directors" shall mean directors who either (A) are directors of the Company as of the date hereof, or (B) are elected, or nominated for election, to the
Board with the affirmative votes of at least a majority of the Incumbent Directors at the time of such election or nomination (but shall not include an individual whose election or nomination is in
connection with an actual or threatened proxy contest relating to the election of directors to the Company); 

        (iii)  The
consummation of a merger or consolidation of the Company with any other corporation, other than a merger or consolidation which would result in the voting
securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior thereto continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the surviving entity or the
entity that controls such surviving entity) at least fifty percent (50%) of the total voting power represented by the voting securities of the Company, such surviving entity or entity that controls
such surviving entity outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation; or 

        (iv)  The
consummation of the sale or disposition by the Company of all or substantially all of the Company's assets. 

        C.    Section 6.1(I) is
amended by deleting the previous Section 6.1(I) and replacing it in its entirety as follows: 

        6.1(I)    Termination
of Service (Except by Death). Notwithstanding the exercise periods set forth in the Stock Option Agreement, exercise of an Option shall always be subject
to the following: 

10

 

        If
the Optionee is Terminated for any reason except death or Disability, then Optionee may exercise such Optionee's Options only to the extent that such Options would have been
exercisable upon the Termination Date no later than three (3) months after the Termination Date (or such shorter time period as may be specified in the Stock Option Agreement), but in any
event, no later than the expiration date of the Options. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company or any successor thereto terminates the Optionee's employment without Cause within twelve months
following a Change of Control, the Optionee's Options, and restricted stock acquired upon exercise of the Optionee's Options or otherwise granted under the Plan shall become 100% vested and
exercisable; provided, however, that no such acceleration shall occur in the event that it would preclude accounting for any business combination of the Company involving a Change of Control as a
"pooling of interests." 

        Notwithstanding
any other provisions of the Plan or any Award Agreement, or other related agreement, in the event that any payment or benefit received or to be received by the Optionee
(whether pursuant to the terms of the Plan, any Award Agreement or other related agreement, or other plan, arrangement or agreement with the Company, any person whose actions result in a Change in
Control or any person affiliated with the Company or such person) (all such payments and benefits being
hereinafter called "Total Payments") would be subject (in whole or part), to any excise tax imposed under Section 4999 of the Code (the "Excise Tax"), then, after taking into account any
reduction in the Total Payments provided by reason of Section 280G of the Code in such other plan, arrangement or agreement, the payment or benefit received or to be received by the Optionee
(whether pursuant to the terms of the Plan, any Option Agreement, Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement or other related agreement) shall be reduced, to the extent necessary so that no portion of the
Total Payments is subject to the Excise Tax but only if (A) the net amount of such Total Payments, as so reduced (and after subtracting the net amount of federal, state and local income taxes
on such reduced Total Payments) is greater than or equal to (B) the net amount of such Total Payments without such reduction (but after subtracting the net amount of federal, state and local
income taxes on such Total Payments and the amount of Excise Tax to which the Optionee would be subject in respect of such unreduced Total Payments). 

        Unless
the Company and the Optionee otherwise agree in writing, any determination required under this Section shall be made in writing by the Company's independent public accountants
(the "Accountants"), whose determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Optionee and the Company for all purposes. For purposes of making the calculations required by this Section, the
Accountants may make reasonable assumptions and approximations concerning applicable taxes and may rely on reasonable, good faith interpretations concerning the application of Sections 280G and 4999
of the Code. The Company and the Optionee shall furnish to the Accountants such information and documents as the Accountants may reasonably request in order to make a determination under this Section.
The Company shall bear all costs the Accountants may reasonably incur in connection with any calculations contemplated by this Section.
