The Committee shall also have the power to establish sub-plans (which may be included as appendices to this Plan or the respective Award Agreement), which may constitute separate programs, for the purpose of establishing programs that meet any special tax or regulatory requirements of jurisdictions other than the United States and its subdivisions. Any such interpretations, rules, administration and sub-plans shall be consistent with the basic purposes of this Plan.

(e) modify, extend, or renew outstanding Awards, accept the surrender of outstanding Awards, and substitute new Awards, provided that no such action shall be taken with respect to any outstanding Award that would materially and adversely affect the Grantee without the Grantee’s consent, or constitute a repricing of stock options without the consent of the holders of the Company’s voting securities under Section 1.4.4(f) below;

(f) only with the approval of the holders of the voting securities of the Company to the extent that such approval is required by applicable law, regulation, or the rules of a national securities exchange or automated quotation system to which the Company is subject, reprice Incentive Stock Options and Non-Statutory Stock Options either by amendment to lower the exercise price or by accepting such stock options for cancellation and issuing replacement stock options with a lower exercise price or through any other mechanism;

(g) accelerate the time in which an Award may be exercised or in which an Award becomes payable and waive or accelerate the lapse, in whole or in part, of any restriction or condition with respect to an Award;

(h) establish objectives and conditions, including targets for Performance Measures, if any, for earning Awards and determining whether Awards will be paid after the end of a Performance Period; and

The specific targets and the method for computing the portion of such Performance Award that shall be granted, vested, paid, or delivered to any Covered Employee shall be established by the Committee prior to the earlier to occur of (A) ninety (90) days after the commencement of the Performance Period to which the Performance Measure applies and (B) the elapse of twenty-five percent (25%) of the Performance Period and in any event while the outcome is substantially uncertain. In interpreting Plan provisions applicable to Performance Measures and Performance Awards that are intended to meet the performance-based compensation exception under Code Section 162(m), it is the intent of this Plan to conform with the standards of Section 162(m) of the Code and Treasury Regulations Section 1.162-27(e)(2), and the Committee in interpreting this Plan shall be guided by such provisions.

7. GENERAL PROVISIONS

7.1 Adjustment Provisions.

7.1.1 Change of Control.

(a) Effect of “Change in Control.” If and only to the extent provided in the Award Agreement, or to the extent otherwise determined by the Committee, upon the occurrence of a “Change in Control,” as defined in Section 7.1.1(b):

(i) The Committee shall take such action as it deems appropriate and equitable to effectuate the purposes of this Plan and to protect the grantees of Awards, which action may include, without limitation, any one or more of the following, provided such action is in compliance with Code Section 409A if applicable: (i) acceleration or change of the exercise and/or expiration dates of any Award to require that exercise be made, if at all, prior to the Change in Control; and (ii) cancellation of any Award upon payment to the holder in cash of the Fair Market Value of the Stock subject to such Award as of the date of (and, to the extent applicable, as established for purposes of) the Change in Control, less the aggregate exercise price, if any, of the Award.

(ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing or any provision in any Award Agreement to the contrary, if in the event of a Change in Control, the successor company assumes or substitutes for a Stock Option or Stock Award, then each such outstanding Stock Option or Stock Award shall not be accelerated as described in Sections 7.1.1(a)(i). For the purposes of this Section 7.1.1(a)(ii), such Stock Option or Stock Award shall be considered assumed or substituted for if following the Change in Control the Award confers the right to purchase or receive, for each share of Common Stock subject to the Stock Option or Stock Award immediately prior to the Change in Control, the consideration (whether stock, cash, or other securities or property) received in the transaction constituting a Change in Control by holders of Common Stock shares for each Common Stock share held on the effective date of such transaction (and if holders were offered a choice of consideration, the type of consideration chosen by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares); provided, however, that if such consideration received in the transaction constituting a Change in Control is not solely common stock of the successor company or its parent or subsidiary, the Committee may, with the consent of the successor company or its parent or subsidiary, provide that the consideration to be received upon the exercise or vesting of a Stock Option or Stock Award, for each Common Stock share subject thereto, will be solely common stock of the successor company or its parent or subsidiary substantially equal in fair market value to the per share consideration received by holders of Common Stock shares in the transaction constituting a Change in Control. The determination of such substantial equality of value of consideration shall be made by the Committee in its sole discretion and its determination shall be conclusive and binding.

(b) Definition of “Change in Control”. Unless otherwise specified in an Award Agreement, a “Change in Control” shall mean the occurrence of any of the following:

(i) The acquisition by any Person of Beneficial Ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of more than fifty percent (50%) of either (A) the value of then outstanding equity securities of the Company (the “Outstanding Company Stock”) or (B) the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of the Company entitled to vote generally in the election of directors (the “Outstanding Company Voting Securities”) (the foregoing Beneficial Ownership hereinafter being referred to as a “Controlling Interest”); provided, however, that for purposes of this Section 7.1.1, the following acquisitions shall not constitute or result in a Change in Control: (v) any acquisition directly from the Company; (w) any acquisition by the Company; (x) any acquisition by any Person that as of the Effective Date owns Beneficial Ownership of a Controlling Interest; (y) any acquisition by any employee benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained by the Company or any Related Entity; or (z) any acquisition by any entity pursuant to a transaction that complies with clauses (A), (B), and (C) of subsection 7.1.1(b)(iii) below; or

(ii) During any period of two (2) consecutive years (not including any period prior to the Effective Date) individuals who constitute the Board on the Effective Date (the “Incumbent Board”) cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board; provided, however, that any individual becoming a director subsequent to the Effective Date whose election, or nomination for election by the Company’s stockholders, was approved by a vote of at least a majority of the directors then comprising the Incumbent Board shall be considered as though such individual were a member of the Incumbent Board, but excluding, for this purpose, any such individual whose initial assumption of office occurs as a result of an actual or threatened election contest with respect to the election or removal of directors or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of a Person other than the Board; or

(iii) Consummation of a reorganization, merger, statutory share exchange, or consolidation or similar transaction involving the Company or any of its Related Entities, a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or the acquisition of assets or equity of another entity by the Company or any of its Related Entities (each a “Business Combination”), in each case, unless, following such Business Combination, (A) all or substantially all of the individuals and entities who were the Beneficial Owners, respectively, of the Outstanding Company Stock and Outstanding Company Voting Securities immediately prior to such Business Combination beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than fifty percent (50%) of the value of the then outstanding equity securities and the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in the election of members of the board of directors (or comparable governing body of an entity that does not have such a board), as the case may be, of the entity resulting from such Business Combination (including, without limitation, an entity that as a result of such transaction owns the Company or all or substantially all of the Company’s assets either directly or through one or more subsidiaries) in substantially the same proportions as their ownership, immediately prior to such Business Combination of the Outstanding Company Stock and Outstanding Company Voting Securities, as the case may be, (B) no Person (excluding any employee benefit plan (or related trust) of the Company or such entity resulting from such Business Combination or any Person that as of the Effective Date owns Beneficial Ownership of a Controlling Interest) beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, fifty percent (50%) or more of the value of the then outstanding equity securities of the entity resulting from such Business Combination or the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of such entity except to the extent that such ownership existed prior to the Business Combination, and (C) at least a majority of the members of the Board or other governing body of the entity resulting from such Business Combination were members of the Incumbent Board at the time of the execution of the initial agreement, or of the action of the Board, providing for such Business Combination; or

(iv) Approval by the stockholders of the Company of a complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company.

7.1.2 Adjustments to Awards. In the event that any extraordinary dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, Common Stock, or other property), recapitalization, forward or reverse split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, spin-off, combination, repurchase, share exchange, liquidation, dissolution or other similar corporate transaction or event affects the Common Stock and/or such other securities of the Company or any other issuer such that a substitution, exchange, or adjustment is determined by the Committee to be appropriate, then the Committee shall, in such manner as it may deem equitable, substitute, exchange, or adjust any or all of (A) the number and kind of Shares that may be delivered in connection with Awards granted thereafter, (B) the number and kind of Shares by which annual per-person Award limitations are measured under this Plan’s provisions, (C) the number and kind of Shares subject to or deliverable in respect of outstanding Awards, (D) the exercise price, grant price or purchase price relating to any Award and/or make provision for payment of cash or other property in respect of any outstanding Award, and (E) any other aspect of any Award that the Committee determines to be appropriate.

7.1.3 Adjustments in Case of Certain Transactions. In the event of any merger, consolidation or other reorganization in which the Company does not survive, or in the event of any Change in Control, any outstanding Awards may be dealt with in accordance with any of the following approaches, as determined by the agreement effectuating the transaction or, if and to the extent not so determined, as determined by the Committee: (a) the continuation of the outstanding Awards by the Company, if the Company is a surviving entity, (b) the assumption or substitution for, as those terms are defined in Section 7.1.1(b)(iv), the outstanding Awards by the surviving entity or its parent or subsidiary, (c) full exercisability or vesting and accelerated expiration of the outstanding Awards, or (d) settlement of the value of the outstanding Awards in cash or cash equivalents or other property followed by cancellation of such Awards (which value, in the case of Stock Options, shall be measured by the amount, if any, by which the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock exceeds the exercise or grant price of the Stock Option as of the effective date of the transaction). The Committee shall give written notice of any proposed transaction referred to in this Section 7.1.3 a reasonable period of time prior to the closing date for such transaction (which notice may be given either before or after the approval of such transaction), in order that Grantees may have a reasonable period of time prior to the closing date of such transaction within which to exercise any Awards that are then exercisable (including any Awards that may become exercisable upon the closing date of such transaction). A Grantee may condition his exercise of any Awards upon the consummation of the transaction.

7.1.4 Other Adjustments. The Committee (and the Board if and only to the extent such authority is not required to be exercised by the Committee to comply with Section 162(m) of the Code) is authorized to make adjustments in the terms and conditions of, and the criteria included in, Awards (including Performance Awards, or performance goals relating thereto) in recognition of unusual or nonrecurring events (including, without limitation, acquisitions and dispositions of businesses and assets) affecting the Company, any Related Entity or any business unit, or the financial statements of the Company or any Related Entity, or in response to changes in applicable laws, regulations, accounting principles, tax rates and regulations or business conditions or in view of the Committee’s assessment of the business strategy of the Company, any Related Entity or business unit thereof, performance of comparable organizations, economic and business conditions, personal performance of a Grantee, and any other circumstances deemed relevant; provided that no such adjustment shall be authorized or made if and to the extent that such authority or the making of such adjustment would cause Stock Options or Stock Awards granted pursuant to Section 6 to Grantees designated by the Committee as Covered Employees and intended to qualify as “performance-based compensation” under Code Section 162(m) and the regulations thereunder to otherwise fail to qualify as “performance-based compensation” under Code Section 162(m) and regulations thereunder.

7.1.5 Fractional Shares. No adjustment or substitution provided for in this Section 7.1 shall require the Company to sell a fractional share, and the total substitution or adjustment with respect to each outstanding Stock Option shall be limited accordingly.

7.1.6 Adjustment Certificates. Upon any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 7.1 the Company will, upon request, deliver to the Grantee a certificate setting forth the exercise price thereafter in effect and the number and kind of shares or other securities thereafter purchasable on the exercise of such Stock Option.

7.2 General.

7.2.1 Each Stock Option and Stock Award shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement containing such terms and conditions, not inconsistent with this Plan, as the Committee shall approve.

7.2.2 The granting of a Stock Option or Stock Award in any year shall not give the Grantee any right to similar grants in future years or any right to be retained in the employ of the Company, and all Employees shall remain subject to discharge to the same extent as if this Plan were not in effect.

7.2.3 No Officer, Employee, Director, or Consultant and no beneficiary or other person claiming under or through him, shall have any right, title or interest by reason of any Stock Option or any Stock Award to any particular assets of the Company, or any shares of Common Stock allocated or reserved for the purposes of this Plan or subject to any Stock Option or any Stock Award except as set forth herein. The Company shall not be required to establish any fund or make any other segregation of assets to assure the payment of any Stock Option or Stock Award.

7.2.4 Limits on Transferability.

(a) Except to the extent otherwise provided in the respective Award Agreement, no Award, other right, or interest granted under this Plan shall be pledged, hypothecated, or otherwise encumbered or subject to any lien, obligation, or liability of such Grantee to any party, or assigned or transferred by such Grantee otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution or to a Beneficiary upon the death of a Grantee. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee in accordance with the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence, an Award may be exercised during the lifetime of the Grantee only by the Grantee or, during the period the Grantee is under a Disability, by the Grantee’s guardian or legal representative.

(b) Notwithstanding Section 7.2.4(a), an Award other than an Incentive Stock Option may, in the Committee’s sole discretion, be transferable by gift or domestic relations order to (i) the Grantee’s child, stepchild, grandchild, parent, stepparent, grandparent, spouse, former spouse, sibling, niece, nephew, mother-in-law, father-in-law, daughter-in-law, son-in-law, brother-in-law, or sister-in-law, including adoptive relationships (such persons, “Family Members”), (ii) a corporation, partnership, limited liability company, or other business entity whose only stockholders, partners, or members, as applicable are the Grantee and/or Family Members, or (iii) a trust in which the Grantee and/or Family Members have all of the beneficial interests, and subsequent to any such transfer any Award may be exercised by any such transferee, provided, however, no Award may be transferred for value (as defined in the General Instructions to Form S-8 Registration Statement).

(c) Notwithstanding Sections 7.2.4(a) and 7.2.4(b), an Award may be transferred pursuant to a domestic relations order that would satisfy Section 414(p)(1)(A) of the Code if such Section applied to an Award under this Plan, but only if the tax consequences flowing from the assignment or transfer are specified in said order, the order is accompanied by signed agreement by both or all parties to the domestic relations order, and, if requested by the Committee, an opinion is provided by qualified counsel for the Grantee that the order is enforceable by or against this Plan under applicable law, and said opinion further specifies the tax consequences flowing from the order and the appropriate tax reporting procedures for this Plan.

7.2.5 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan or agreements made pursuant thereto, the Company’s obligation to issue or deliver any certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock under a Stock Option or Stock Award, and the transferability of Common Stock acquired by exercise of a Stock Option or grant of a Stock Award, shall be subject to all of the following conditions:

(a) Any registration or other qualification of such shares under any state or federal law or regulation, or the maintaining in effect of any such registration or other qualification that the Board shall, in its absolute discretion upon the advice of counsel, deem necessary or advisable; and

(b) The obtaining of any other consent, approval, or permit from any state or federal governmental agency that the Board shall, in its absolute discretion upon the advice of counsel, determine to be necessary or advisable.

The Company may, to the extent deemed necessary or advisable by the Committee, postpone the issuance or delivery of Common Stock or payment of other benefits under any Award until completion of such registration or qualification of such Common Stock (including, but not limited to, the conditions described in Sections 7.2.5(a) and 7.2.5(b) above) or other required action under any federal or state law, rule or regulation, listing, or other required action with respect to any stock exchange or automated quotation system upon which the Shares or other Company securities are listed or quoted, or compliance with any other obligation of the Company, as the Committee, may consider appropriate, and may require any Grantee to make such representations, furnish such information and comply with or be subject to such other conditions as it may consider appropriate in connection with the issuance or delivery of Shares or payment of other benefits in compliance with applicable laws, rules, and regulations, listing requirements, or other obligations.

7.2.6 All payments to Grantees or to their legal representatives shall be subject to any applicable tax, community property, or other statutes or regulations of the United States or of any state or country having jurisdiction over such payments. The Grantee may be required to pay to the Company the amount of any withholding taxes that the Company is required to withhold with respect to a Stock Option or its exercise or a Stock Award. In the event that such payment is not made when due, the Company shall have the right to deduct, to the extent permitted by law, from any payment of any kind otherwise due to such person all or part of the amount required to be withheld.

7.2.7 In the case of a grant of a Stock Option or Stock Award to any Employee of a Subsidiary, the Company may, if the Committee so directs, issue or transfer the shares, if any, covered by the Stock Option or Stock Award to such Subsidiary, for such lawful consideration as the Committee may specify, upon the condition or understanding that such Subsidiary will transfer the shares to the Employee in accordance with the terms of the Stock Option or Stock Award specified by the Committee pursuant to the provisions of this Plan.

7.2.8 A Grantee entitled to Common Stock as a result of the exercise of a Stock Option or grant of a Stock Award shall not be deemed for any purpose to be, or have rights as, a stockholder of the Company by virtue of such exercise, except to the extent that a stock certificate is issued therefor and then only from the date such certificate is issued. No adjustments shall be made for dividends or distributions or other rights for which the record date is prior to the date such stock certificate is issued. The Company shall issue any stock certificates required to be issued in connection with the exercise of a Stock Option with reasonable promptness after such exercise.

7.2.9 The grant or exercise of Stock Options granted under this Plan or the grant of a Stock Award under this Plan shall be subject to, and shall in all respects comply with, applicable law relating to such grant or exercise, or to the number of shares of Common Stock that may be beneficially owned or held by any Grantee.

7.2.10 The Company intends that this Plan shall comply with the requirements of Rule 16b-3 (the “Rule”) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, during the term of this Plan. Should any additional provisions be necessary for this Plan to comply with the requirements of the Rule, the Board may amend this Plan to add to or modify the provisions of this Plan accordingly.

7.2.11 Code Section 409A.

(a) If any Award constitutes a “nonqualified deferred compensation plan” under Section 409A of the Code (a “Section 409A Plan”), then the Award shall be subject to the following additional requirements, if and to the extent required to comply with Section 409A of the Code:

(i) Payments under the Section 409A Plan may not be made earlier than (u) the Grantee’s separation from service, (v) the date the Grantee becomes disabled, (w) the Grantee’s death, (x) a specified time (or pursuant to a fixed schedule) specified in the Award Agreement at the date of the deferral of such compensation, (y) a change in the ownership or effective control of the corporation, or in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the corporation, or (z) the occurrence of an unforeseeable emergency;

(ii) The time or schedule for any payment of the deferred compensation may not be accelerated, except to the extent provided in applicable Treasury Regulations or other applicable guidance issued by the Internal Revenue Service;

(iii) Any elections with respect to the deferral of such compensation or the time and form of distribution of such deferred compensation shall comply with the requirements of Section 409A(a)(4) of the Code; and

(iv) In the case of any Grantee who is specified employee, a distribution on account of a separation from service may not be made before the date that is six (6) months after the date of the Grantee’s separation from service (or, if earlier, the date of the Grantee’s death).

For purposes of the foregoing, the terms “separation from service”, “disabled,” and “specified employee”, all shall be defined in the same manner as those terms are defined for purposes of Section 409A of the Code, and the limitations set forth herein shall be applied in such manner (and only to the extent) as shall be necessary to comply with any requirements of Section 409A of the Code that are applicable to the Award.

(b) The Award Agreement for any Award that the Committee reasonably determines to constitute a Section 409A Plan, and the provisions of this Plan applicable to that Award, shall be construed in a manner consistent with the applicable requirements of Section 409A, and the Committee, in its sole discretion and without the consent of any Grantee, may amend any Award Agreement (and the provisions of this Plan applicable thereto) if and to the extent that the Committee determines that such amendment is necessary or appropriate to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. No Section 409A Plan shall be adjusted, modified, or substituted for, pursuant to any provision of this Plan, without the consent of the Grantee if any such adjustment, modification, or substitution would cause the Section 409A Plan to violate the requirements of Section 409A of the Code.

(c) The Company intends that this Plan shall comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, to the extent applicable. Should any changes to this Plan be necessary for this Plan to comply with the requirements of Section 409A, the Board may amend this Plan to add to or modify the provisions of this Plan accordingly.

7.2.12 The validity, construction, and effect of this Plan, any rules and regulations under this Plan, and any Award Agreement shall be determined in accordance with the laws of the State of Nevada without giving effect to principles of conflict of laws, and applicable federal law. Unless otherwise provided in the Award Agreement, recipients of an Award under this Plan are deemed to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the federal or state courts whose jurisdiction covers California to resolve any and all issues that may arise out of or relate to this Plan or any related Award Agreement.

7.2.13 The Board shall have the authority to adopt such modifications, procedures, and subplans as may be necessary or desirable to comply with provisions of the laws of foreign countries in which the Company or its Related Entities may operate to assure the viability of the benefits from Awards granted to Grantees performing services in such countries and to meet the objectives of this Plan.

7.2.14 The Company will seek stockholder approval in the manner and to the degree required under applicable laws. If the Company fails to obtain any required stockholder approval of this Plan within twelve (12) months after the date this Plan is adopted by the Board, pursuant to Section 422 of the Code, any Option granted as an Incentive Stock Option at any time under this Plan will not qualify as an Incentive Stock Option within the meaning of the Code and will be deemed to be a Non-Statutory Stock Option.
