Except as provided in Section 5.02 hereof, the aggregate number of shares of Stock that may be purchased under the Plan shall not exceed the number of shares of Stock reserved for the Plan.

Sec. 4.02 Limitation on Shares Available.

A-3

less than such five percent. Any amounts withheld from a Participant’s compensation that cannot be applied to the purchase of Stock by reason of the foregoing limitation shall be returned to the Participant as soon as practicable.

Sec. 4.03 Purchase Price of Shares. The Purchase Price per share of the Stock sold to Participants pursuant to any offering hereunder shall be the lower of (i) 85% of the Market Value per share on the first day of the Purchase Period or (ii) 85% of the Market Value per share on the Purchase Date.

Sec. 4.04 Exercise of Purchase Privilege.

(a) Each Participant shall be granted an option to purchase shares of Stock as of the first day of each Purchase Period at the Purchase Price specified in Section 4.03. The option shall continue in effect through the Purchase Date for the Purchase Period. Subject to the provisions of Section 4.02 above and Sections 4.04(b) and 4.04(d) below, on each Purchase Date, the Participant shall be automatically deemed to have exercised his or her option to purchase shares of Stock on the Purchase Date, unless he or she notifies the Committee, in such manner and at such time in advance of the Purchase Date as the Committee shall prescribe, of his or her desire not to make such purchase.

(b) The maximum number of shares which a Participant may purchase during a Purchase Period is 4,000 shares, adjusted as described in Section 5.02 and subject to Section 4.04(d) below, or such other number as the Committee establishes before the beginning of the Purchase Period.

(c) There shall be purchased for the Participant on such Purchase Date at the Purchase Price for such Purchase Period the largest number of whole and fractional shares of Stock as can be purchased with the amounts withheld from the Participant’s compensation during the Purchase Period. Each such purchase shall be deemed to have occurred on the Purchase Date occurring at the close of the Purchase Period for which the purchase was made.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Participant may not purchase shares of Stock having an aggregate Market Value of more than $25,000, determined at the beginning of each Purchase Period, for any calendar year in which one or more such offerings are outstanding at any time, and a Participant may not purchase a share of Stock under any offering after the expiration of the Purchase Period for such offering.

Sec. 4.05 Payroll Deductions. Each Participant shall authorize payroll deductions from his or her compensation for the purpose of funding the purchase of Stock pursuant to his or her Purchase Agreement. In the Purchase Agreement, each Participant shall authorize an after-tax payroll deduction from each payment of his compensation during a Purchase Period, of an amount not less than $10 per paycheck ($20 for any Participant on a monthly payroll period) and not more than 10% of such Participant’s compensation. A Participant may change the deduction to any permissible level effective as of any Election Date. Such change shall be made by the

Participant’s filing with the Committee a notice in such form and at such time in advance of the date on which such change is to be effective as the Committee shall prescribe.

Sec. 4.06 Payment for Stock. The Purchase Price for all shares of Stock purchased by a Participant under the Plan shall be paid out of the Participant’s authorized payroll deductions. All funds received or held by the Company under the Plan are general assets of the Company, free of any trust or other restriction, and may be used for any corporate purpose.

Sec. 4.07 Share Ownership; Issuance of Certificates.

(a) The shares of Stock purchased by a Participant on a Purchase Date shall, for all purposes, be deemed to have been issued or sold at the close of business on such Purchase Date. Prior to that time, none of the rights or privileges of a stockholder of the Company shall inure to the Participant with respect to such shares of Stock. All the shares of Stock purchased under the Plan shall be delivered by the Company in a manner as determined by the Committee.

(b) The Committee, in its sole discretion, may determine that the shares of Stock shall be delivered by the Company by (i) issuing and delivering to the Participant a certificate for the number of shares of Stock purchased by such Participant on a Purchase Date or during a calendar year or other period determined by the Committee, (ii) issuing and delivering a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Stock purchased by all Participants on a Purchase Date or during a calendar year or other period determined by the Committee to a firm which is a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, as selected by the Committee from time to time, which shares shall be maintained by such firm in separate brokerage accounts of each Participant, or (iii) issuing and delivering a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Stock purchased by all Participants on a Purchase Date or during the calendar year or other period determined by the Committee to a bank or trust company or affiliate thereof, as selected by the Committee from time to time, which shares may be held by such bank or trust company or affiliate in “street name”, but with separate accounts maintained by such entity for each Participant reflecting such Participant’s whole share interests in the Stock. Each certificate or account, as the case may be, may be in the name of the Participant or, if he or she designates on the Participant’s Purchase Agreement, in the Participant’s name jointly with the Participant’s spouse, with right of survivorship. A Participant who is a resident of a jurisdiction that does not recognize such joint tenancy may have a certificate or account in the Participant’s name as tenant in common with the Participant’s spouse, without right of survivorship. Such designation may be changed by filing notice thereof.

(c) In addition to any restrictions or limitations on the resale of Stock purchased under the Plan set forth in Section 4.08 hereof or otherwise hereunder, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may impose such restrictions or limitations, as it shall determine, on the resale of Stock, the issuance of individual stock certificates or withdrawal from any stockholder accounts established for a Participant pursuant to the terms hereof.

(d) Any dividends payable with respect to whole or fractional shares of Stock credited to a stockholder account of a Participant established pursuant to Section 4.07(b) hereof will be reinvested in shares of Stock and credited to such Participant’s account. Such

A-5

reinvestment shall be made based on the Market Value of the Stock at the date of the reinvestment, with no discount from Market Value.

Sec. 4.08 Withdrawal of Shares or Resale of Stock.

(a) The Participant may request a withdrawal of those shares or order the sale of those shares at any time by making a request in such form and at such time as the Committee shall prescribe.

(b) In the event a Participant terminates his or her employment with all Employers or otherwise ceases to be an Eligible Employee, he or she shall receive a distribution of his or her shares of Stock held in any stockholder account established pursuant to Section 4.07(b), he or she may elect to have such shares of Stock sold in accordance with such procedures as the Committee shall prescribe.

(c) If a Participant is to receive a withdrawal or distribution of shares of Stock, the withdrawal or distribution shall be paid in whole shares of Stock, with fractional shares paid in cash.

ARTICLE V. SPECIAL ADJUSTMENTS

Sec. 5.01 Shares Unavailable. If, on any Purchase Date, the aggregate funds available for the purchase of Stock would purchase a number of shares in excess of the number of shares of Stock then available for purchase under the Plan, the following events shall occur:

(a) The number of shares of Stock that would otherwise be purchased by each Participant shall be proportionately reduced on the Purchase Date in order to eliminate such excess; and

(b) The Plan shall automatically terminate immediately after the Purchase Date as of which the supply of available shares is exhausted.

Sec. 5.02 Anti-Dilution Provisions. The aggregate number of shares of Stock reserved for purchase under the Plan, as hereinabove provided, and the calculation of the Purchase Price per share may be appropriately adjusted to reflect any increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of Stock resulting from a subdivision or consolidation of shares or other capital adjustment, or the payment of a stock dividend, or other increase or decrease in such shares, if effected without receipt of consideration by the Company. Any such adjustment shall be made by the Committee acting with the consent of, and subject to the approval of, the Board of Directors.

Sec. 5.03 Effect of Certain Transactions. Subject to any required action by the stockholders, if the Company shall be the surviving or resulting corporation in any merger or consolidation, any offering hereunder shall pertain to and apply to the shares of stock of the Company. However, in the event of a dissolution or liquidation of the Company, or of a merger or consolidation in which the Company is not the surviving or resulting corporation, [the Plan
