PROXY STATEMENT

FOR VIRTUAL SPECIAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
This Proxy Statement is furnished to stockholders in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of iSun, Inc. (“iSun,” the “Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) in connection with a virtual Special Meeting of Stockholders of the Company to be held exclusively online via live audio-only webcast on Friday, December 17, 2021 at 2:00 p.m. Eastern Time (the “Meeting”).
GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT SOLICITATION VOTING AND ATTENDING
Who Can Vote at the Virtual Special Meeting?
Each share of the Company’s Common Stock has one vote on each Proposal. Only stockholders of record as of the close of business on October 18, 2021 (the “Record Date”) are entitled to receive notice of, attend and vote at the virtual Special Meeting of Stockholders. You may attend the Meeting by visiting https://www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/ISUN2021SM, where you will be able to listen to the Meeting live, have an opportunity to submit questions, and vote your shares of Common Stock if you held such shares as of the close of business on October 18, 2021. As of October 18, 2021, there were 10,866,505 shares of the Company’s Common Stock outstanding and entitled to vote.
Counting Votes
Consistent with state law and our bylaws, the presence, virtually or by proxy, of at least a majority of the shares entitled to vote at the Meeting will constitute a quorum for purposes of voting on a particular matter at the Meeting. Once a share is represented for any purpose at the Meeting, it is deemed present for quorum purposes for the remainder of the Meeting and any adjournment thereof unless a new record date is set for the adjournment. Shares held of record by stockholders or their nominees who do not vote by proxy or attend the Meeting virtually will not be considered present or represented and will not be counted in determining the presence of a quorum. Signed proxies that withhold authority or reflect abstentions and “broker non-votes” will be counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present. “Broker non-votes” are proxies received from banks, brokerage firms or other nominees/agents holding shares on behalf of their clients who have not been given specific voting instructions from their clients with respect to matters being voted on.
Pursuant to our Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation the vote of: (i) not less than 66.667% of the total voting power of all outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company will be required to approve an amendment to the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to reduce the percentage of outstanding shares required to approve an Amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation from 66.667% to a simple majority as set forth in the Company’s proposed Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (Proposal 1); (ii) not less than 66.667% of the total voting power of all outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company will be required to approve an amendment to the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to allow for any action required or permitted to be taken by the stockholders of the Company to be effected by written consent as set forth in the Company’s proposed Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (Proposal 2); and (iii) a majority of the voting power of the shares of iSun Common Stock, present or represented by proxy at the iSun Special Meeting, is required to approve an amendment to Section 6(a) of the 2020 iSun Equity Incentive Plan to increase the maximum aggregate number of shares of Common Stock under the Plan reserved and available for Awards as defined in the Plan from 1,000,000 to 3,000,000 shares of Common Stock. The only capital stock of the Company currently outstanding is Common Stock.

We strongly encourage you to provide instructions to your bank, brokerage firm, or other nominee/agent by voting your proxy. This action ensures that your shares will be voted in accordance with your wishes at the Meeting.
Attending the Meeting
You or your authorized proxy may attend the Meeting if you were a registered or beneficial stockholder of iSun Common Stock as of the Record Date.
To participate in the Meeting, visit https://www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/ISUN2021SM and enter the 16-digit control number included on your Proxy Card. The virtual Meeting allows stockholders to submit questions during the Meeting in the question box provided at https://www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/ISUN2021SM. We will respond to as many properly submitted questions during the relevant portion of the Meeting agenda as time allows.
If we experience technical difficulties during the Meeting (e.g., a temporary or prolonged power outage), we will determine whether the Meeting can be promptly reconvened (if the technical difficulty is temporary) or whether the Meeting will need to be reconvened on a later day (if the technical difficulty is more prolonged). If you encounter any difficulties accessing the Virtual Meeting during the check-in or meeting time, please call the technical support number that will be posted on the Virtual Shareholder Meeting login page.
If you are a Stockholder of Record (that is, you hold your shares through iSun’s transfer agent, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust), you do not need to register to attend the Meeting virtually on the internet. Please follow the instructions on the Proxy Card that you received. No proof of ownership is necessary because iSun can verify your ownership.
If you own shares in street name through an intermediary, such as a bank, broker or other nominee/agent, please follow the voting instructions provided to you by that nominee/agent in order to vote your shares.
SOLICITATION AND REVOCABILITY OF PROXIES
The enclosed proxy for the Meeting is being solicited by the Board. Stockholders of record may vote by mail, telephone, or via the Internet. The toll-free telephone number and Internet web site are listed on the proxy. If you vote by telephone or via the Internet, you do not need to return your Proxy Card, but you will need the control number printed on the Proxy Card to vote. If you choose to vote by mail, please mark, date and sign the Proxy Card, and then return it in the enclosed envelope (no postage is necessary if mailed within the United States). Any person giving a proxy may revoke it at any time prior to the exercise thereof by filing with our Secretary a written revocation or by duly executed proxy bearing a later date. The proxy may also be revoked by a stockholder attending the virtual Meeting, withdrawing the proxy and voting virtually, but you will need the control number printed on the Proxy Card.
The expense of preparing, printing and mailing the form of proxy and the material used in the solicitation thereof will be borne by us. In addition to solicitation by mail, proxies may be solicited by the directors, officers and our regular employees (who will receive no additional compensation therefor) by means of personal interview, telephone or by other means of communication. It is anticipated that banks, brokerage firms and other institutions, custodians, nominees/agents, fiduciaries or other record holders will be requested to forward the soliciting material to persons for whom they hold shares and to seek authority for the execution of proxies; in such cases, we will reimburse such holders for their charges and expenses.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THIS PROXY MATERIAL AND VOTING
Why did I receive these proxy materials?
We are providing this Proxy Statement in connection with the solicitation by the Board of proxies to be voted at the Meeting, or at any postponements or adjournments thereof. This Proxy Statement contains important information for you to consider when deciding how to vote on the matters brought before the Meeting. You are invited to attend the virtual Meeting to vote on the proposals described in this Proxy Statement. However, you do not need to attend the virtual Meeting to vote your shares. Instead, you may vote your shares using one of the other voting methods described in this Proxy Statement.
Whether or not you expect to attend the Meeting, please vote your shares as soon as possible in order to ensure your representation at the Meeting.
Can I access these proxy materials on the Internet?
Yes. The Notice of Special Meeting and Proxy Statement are available for viewing, printing, and downloading at http://www.proxyvote.com. All materials will remain posted on http://www.proxyvote.com at least until the conclusion of the Meeting.
Who can vote at the Meeting?
Each share of the Company’s Common Stock has one vote on each Proposal. Only stockholders of record at the close of business on October 18, 2021, the Record Date for the Meeting, will be entitled to vote at the Meeting. On October 18, 2021, there were 10,866,505 shares of Common Stock (each entitled to one vote) outstanding.
What is the difference between a stockholder of record and a beneficial owner of shares held in street name?
Stockholder of Record. If your shares are registered directly in your name with the Company’s transfer agent, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust, you are considered the stockholder of record with respect to those shares, and the Notice, Proxy Statement and a Proxy Card were sent directly to you by the Company.
Beneficial Owner of Shares Held in Street Name. If your shares are held in an account at a bank, brokerage firm or other nominee/agent, then you are the beneficial owner of shares held in “street name,” and the Notice was forwarded to you by that organization. The organization holding your account is considered the stockholder of record for purposes of voting at the Special Meeting. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to instruct that organization on how to vote the shares held in your account.
Stockholder of Record: Shares Registered in Your Name
If on October 18, 2021, your shares of iSun, Inc. Common Stock were registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, then you are a stockholder of record. As a stockholder of record, you may vote virtually at the Meeting or vote by proxy. Whether or not you plan to virtually attend the Meeting, we urge you to fill out and return the enclosed Proxy Card to ensure your vote is counted. When you mail in your Proxy Card, please keep a copy of the control number printed on your Proxy Card in case you wish to revoke the proxy on your Proxy Card, change your vote at the virtual Meeting or change your vote via the Internet or telephone as otherwise provided herein.
Beneficial Owner: Shares Registered in the Name of a Bank, Brokerage Firm or Other Nominee/Agent
If on October 18, 2021, your shares of iSun, Inc. Common Stock were held in an account at a, bank, brokerage firm or other nominee/agent, then you are the beneficial owner of shares held in “street name” and these proxy materials are being forwarded to you by that organization. The organization holding your account is considered the stockholder of record for purposes of voting at the Meeting. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your bank, brokerage firm or other nominee/agent on how to vote the shares in your account. You are also invited to attend the virtual Meeting. However, since you are not the stockholder of record, you may not vote your shares virtually at the Meeting unless you request and obtain a signed letter or other valid proxy from your bank, brokerage firm or other nominee/agent.

What proposals am I voting on?
There are three matters scheduled for a vote at the Meeting: (i) to approve an amendment to the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to reduce the percentage of outstanding shares required to approve an Amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation from 66.667% to a simple majority as set forth in the Company’s proposed Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation; (ii) to approve an amendment to the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to allow for any action required or permitted to be taken by the stockholder’s of the Company to be effected by written consent as set forth in the Company’s proposed Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation; and (iii) to approve an amendment to Section 6(a) of the 2020 iSun Equity Incentive Plan to increase the maximum aggregate number of shares of Common Stock under the Plan reserved and available for Awards as defined in the Plan from 1,000,000 to 3,000,000 shares of Common Stock.
The Board does not intend to bring any other matters before the Meeting and is not aware of anyone else who will submit any other matters to be voted on. However, if any other matters properly come before the Meeting, the individuals named on the Proxy Card, or their substitutes, will be authorized to vote on those matters in their own judgment.
How many votes do I have?
On each matter to be voted upon, you have one vote for each share of Common Stock you owned as of October 18, 2021.
What is the quorum requirement?
A quorum of stockholders is necessary to hold a valid Meeting. A quorum will be present if a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock entitled to vote are present at the virtual Meeting.
Your shares will be counted towards the quorum only if you submit a valid proxy, have voted via the Internet, have voted via telephone or vote virtually at the Meeting.
If you submit your proxy vote via the Internet or by telephone but abstain from voting or withhold authority to vote on one or more matters, as applicable, your shares will be counted as present at the Meeting for the purpose of determining a quorum.
Broker non-votes will be counted towards the quorum requirement.
Your shares also will be counted as present at the Meeting for the purpose of calculating the vote on the particular matter with respect to which you abstained from voting or withheld authority to vote, as further provided below.
If there is no quorum, the Chairman or a majority of the votes present at the Meeting may adjourn the meeting to another date.

Beneficial Owner: Shares Registered in the Name of a Bank, Brokerage Firm or other Nominee/Agent
If you hold your shares in “street name” and thus are a beneficial owner of shares registered in the name of your bank, brokerage firm or other nominee/agent, you must vote your shares as provided in instructions on how to vote your shares by your bank, brokerage firm or other nominee/agent. Your bank, brokerage firm or other nominee/agent has enclosed or otherwise provided a voting instruction card for you to use in directing the bank, brokerage firm or nominee/agent how to vote your shares. Check the voting form used by that organization to see if it offers internet or telephone voting.
If you are the beneficial owner of Shares registered in the name of a bank, brokerage firm or other nominee/agent, in order to vote virtually at the Meeting, you must first obtain a valid proxy from your bank, brokerage firm or other nominee/agent. Follow the instructions from your bank, brokerage firm or other nominee/agent included with these proxy materials, or contact your bank, brokerage firm or other nominee/agent to request a proxy form.
How many votes are required to approve each Proposal, and what is the effect of withholding my vote or abstaining, or a broker non-vote?
Proposal 1, To approve an amendment to the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to reduce the percentage of outstanding shares required to approve an Amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation from 66.667% to a simple majority, as set forth in the Company’s proposed Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation. With respect to Proposal 1, you may vote “FOR,” “AGAINST” or “ABSTAIN.” Adoption of this proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders representing 66.667% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company (meaning that of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company, 66.667% must be voted “FOR” the proposal for the proposal to be approved). If you “ABSTAIN” from voting with respect to Proposal 1, your vote will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the proposal. Broker non-votes will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the Proposal.
Proposal 2, To approve an amendment to the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to allow for any action required or permitted to be taken by the stockholders of the Company to be effected by written consent, as set forth in the Company’s proposed Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation. With respect to Proposal 2, you may vote “FOR,” “AGAINST” or “ABSTAIN.” Adoption of this proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders representing 66.667% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company (meaning that of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company, 66.667% must be voted “FOR” the proposal for the proposal to be approved). If you “ABSTAIN” from voting with respect to Proposal 2, your vote will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the proposal. Broker non-votes will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the Proposal.
Proposal 3, to approve an amendment to Section 6(a) of the 2020 iSun Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) to increase the maximum aggregate number of shares of Common Stock under the Plan reserved and available for Awards as defined in the Plan from 1,000,000 to 3,000,000 shares of Common Stock. With respect to Proposal 3, you may vote “FOR,” “AGAINST,” or “ABSTAIN.” Adoption of this proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the
5

Meeting. Abstentions will have the same effect as negative votes. Broker non-votes are counted towards a quorum, but are not counted for any purpose in determining whether this matter has been approved. The amendment to the Plan will not become effective if a majority of our stockholders do not vote FOR its approval.
Does my bank, brokerage firm or other nominee have discretionary power to vote on the Proposals?
If you hold your shares in street name and do not provide voting instructions to your bank, brokerage firm or other nominee/agent, it may still be able to vote your shares with respect to certain “discretionary” (or routine) items, but it will not be allowed to vote your shares with respect to certain “non-discretionary” items. In the case of non-discretionary items for which no instructions are received, the shares will be treated as “broker non-votes.” Shares that constitute broker non-votes will be counted as present at the meeting for the purpose of determining a quorum but will not be entitled to vote on the proposal(s) in question.
For Proposals 1, 2 and 3, if you ABSTAIN from voting on a proposal, your abstention has the same effect as a vote AGAINST that Proposal.
Proposal 1. To approve an amendment to the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to reduce the percentage of outstanding shares required to approve an Amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation from 66.667% to a simple majority, as set forth in the Company’s proposed Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation. With respect to Proposal 1, you may vote “FOR,” “AGAINST” or “ABSTAIN.” Adoption of this proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders representing 66.667% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company (meaning that of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company, 66.667% must be voted “FOR” the proposal for the proposal to be approved). If you “ABSTAIN” from voting with respect to Proposal 1, your vote will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the proposal. Broker non-votes will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the proposal. Your bank, brokerage firm or other nominee/agent does not have discretionary authority to vote shares for Proposal 1.
Proposal 2. To approve an amendment to the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to allow for any action required or permitted to be taken by the stockholders of the Company to be effected by written consent, as set forth in the Company’s proposed Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation. With respect to Proposal 2, you may vote “FOR,” “AGAINST” or “ABSTAIN.” Adoption of this proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders representing 66.667% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company (meaning that of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company, 66.667% must be voted “FOR” the proposal for the proposal to be approved). If you “ABSTAIN” from voting with respect to Proposal 2, your vote will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the proposal. Broker non-votes will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the proposal. Your bank, brokerage firm or other nominee/agent does not have discretionary authority to vote shares for Proposal 2.
Proposal 3. To approve an amendment to Section 6(a) of the 2020 iSun Equity Incentive Plan to increase the maximum aggregate number of shares of Common Stock under the Plan reserved and available for Awards as defined in the Plan from 1,000,000 to 3,000,000 shares of Common Stock. With respect to Proposal 3, you may vote “FOR,” “AGAINST,” or “ABSTAIN.” Adoption of this proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting. Abstentions will have the same effect as negative votes. Broker non-votes are counted towards a quorum, but are not counted for any purpose in determining whether this matter has been approved. The amendment to Section 6(a) of the 2020 iSun Equity Incentive Plan to increase the maximum aggregate number of shares of Common Stock under the Plan reserved and available for Awards as defined in the Plan from 1,000,000 to 3,000,000 shares of Common Stock will not become effective if a majority of our stockholders do not vote FOR approval of Proposal 3. Your bank, brokerage firm or other nominee/agent does not have discretionary authority to vote shares for Proposal 3.
What happens if I do not give specific voting instructions?
If you are a stockholder of record and you indicate when voting that you wish to vote as recommended by the Board, or if you sign and return a Proxy Card without giving specific voting instructions, then the proxy holders will vote your shares as recommended by the Board on all matters presented in this Proxy Statement, and as the proxy holders may determine in their discretion with respect to any other matters properly presented for a vote at the virtual Meeting.
6

If you are a beneficial owner of shares held in street name and do not provide the bank, brokerage firm or other nominee/agent that holds your shares with specific voting instructions, the bank, brokerage firm or other nominee/agent may generally vote in its discretion on “discretionary” matters. However, if the bank, brokerage firm or other nominee/agent that holds your shares does not receive instructions from you on how to vote your shares on a “non-discretionary” matter, it will be unable to vote your shares on that matter. When this occurs, it is generally referred to as a “broker non-vote.”
Proposals 1, 2 and 3 are considered as “non-discretionary'' matters.
Can I change my vote after submitting my proxy, voting via the Internet or by telephone?
Yes. You can revoke your proxy at any time before the final vote at the Meeting. If you are a stockholder of record, you may revoke your proxy in any one of four ways:
You may submit another properly completed Proxy Card with a later date;
You may vote again by Internet or telephone at a later time (prior to the deadline for Internet or telephone voting);
You may send a written notice that you are revoking your proxy to: iSun, Inc., 400 Avenue, D, Suite 10, Williston, VT, 05495
You may attend the virtual Meeting and vote virtually. Simply attending the virtual Meeting will not, by itself, revoke your proxy.
If you hold your shares in street name, contact your bank, brokerage firm or other nominee/agent regarding how to revoke your proxy and change your vote. Your most current Internet proxy, telephone proxy or proxy card will be the one that is counted at the Meeting. If you send a written notice of revocation, please make sure to do so with enough time for it to arrive by mail prior to the Meeting.
How can I find out the results of the voting at the virtual Meeting?
Preliminary voting results will be announced at the virtual Meeting. Final voting results will be published in our Current Report on Form 8-K within four business days after the Meeting.
What does it mean if I receive more than one Proxy Card?
If you receive more than one Proxy Card, your shares are registered in more than one name or are registered in different accounts. Please complete, date, sign and return each Proxy Card, or vote your shares via the Internet or by telephone for each Proxy Card you received to ensure that all your shares are voted.
Who is paying for this proxy solicitation?
The Company is paying the costs of the solicitation of proxies. In addition to mailed proxy materials, our directors, officers and employees may also solicit proxies in person, by telephone, or by other means of communication. We will not pay our directors, officers and employees any additional compensation for soliciting proxies. We may reimburse brokerage firms, banks and other agents for the cost of forwarding proxy materials to beneficial owners.

TO APPROVE AN AMENDMENT TO THE COMPANY’S SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION TO REDUCE THE PERCENTAGE OF OUTSTANDING SHARES REQUIRED TO APPROVE AN AMENDMENT TO THE CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION FROM 66.667% TO A SIMPLE MAJORITY, AS SET FORTH IN THE COMPANY’S PROPOSED THIRD AMENDED AND RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION
The complete text of the Company’s Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation is attached as Appendix A-1
General
The Board has recommended that the stockholders approve an amendment to the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to reduce the percentage of outstanding shares required to approve an Amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation from 66.667% to a simple majority, as set forth in the Company’s proposed Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation.

PROPOSAL 3:
TO APPROVE AN AMENDMENT TO THE 2020 iSUN EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN TO AMEND SECTION 6(a) OF THE PLAN TO INCREASE THE MAXIMUM AGGREGATE NUMBER OF SHARES OF COMMON STOCK RESERVED AND AVAILABLE UNDER THE PLAN FOR “AWARDS”, AS DEFINED IN THE PLAN, FROM 1,000,000 TO 3,000,000 SHARES OF COMMON STOCK
The complete text of the 2020 iSUN Equity Incentive Plan, as amended is attached, as Appendix A-2.
General
The Board has recommended that the stockholders approve an amendment to the 2020 iSun Equity Incentive Plan to increase the maximum aggregate number of shares of Common Stock reserved and available under the Plan for Awards, as defined in the Plan, from 1,000,000 to 3,000,000 shares of Common Stock.
Purpose of the Amendment to the 2020 iSun Equity Incentive Plan
The Board believes it is in the best interests of the Company to approve an amendment to the 2020 iSun Equity Incentive Plan to increase the maximum aggregate number of shares of Common Stock reserved and available under the Plan for Awards as defined in the Plan from 1,000,000 to 3,000,000 shares of Common Stock to give the Company greater flexibility in considering and planning for future corporate needs, including facilitating the hiring and retention of qualified employees.
Effects of the Amendment
If the proposed Amendment is approved, the number of shares of Common Stock in the Company available for grant under the Plan will be increased by 2,000,000 shares from 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock to 3,000,000 shares of Common Stock.
Background
The Equity Incentive Plan was adopted on February 25, 2021 and approved by the shareholders of the Company at a Special Meeting of the Company’s shareholders on the same date. 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock were initially available for Awards under the Plan. The purpose of the Plan is to promote the success of the Company and its affiliates by facilitating the employment and retention of competent personnel and by furnishing incentives to those employees, directors, and consultants upon whose efforts the success of the Company and its affiliates will depend to a large degree.
The Plan currently authorizes 1,000,000 shares for issuance. As of October 18, 2021, the number of shares available for issuance under future awards under the Plan was 411,250 shares. The Board does not believe that the number of shares available for issuance under the Plan is sufficient in light of the Company’s compensation strategy.
The increase represents 18.41% of the total number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as of October 18, 2021. After giving effect to such increase, the number of shares of Common Stock subject to outstanding equity awards and available for issuance pursuant to future awards will represent approximately 22.19% of our total issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock (on a fully diluted basis after giving effect to such future award issuances).
Summary of 2020 Equity Incentive Plan
Eligible Participants
All employees, officers, directors, and consultants of the Company and its affiliates may participate in the Equity Incentive Plan. As of the date hereof, the Company has approximately 110 employees, officers, and three non-employee directors.
Administration
The Equity Incentive Plan is administered by the Company's Board of Directors; provided however, that the Board may delegate some or all of the administration of the Equity Incentive Plan to a committee or committees. The Board and any committee appointed by the Board to administer the Equity Incentive Plan are collectively referred to as the “Administrator.”
10

Types of Awards
The Equity Incentive Plan permits the Administrator to grant:
Options. Options granted under the Equity Incentive Plan may be either “incentive” stock options within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) or “nonqualified” stock options that do not qualify for special tax treatment of Code Section 422.
Restricted Stock Awards and Restricted Stock Units. The Equity Incentive Plan also permits awards of restricted stock and restricted stock units. Restricted stock units may be paid in cash or in shares of the Company's Common Stock, or any combination thereof, in the Administrator's discretion.
Performance Awards. Performance share and performance unit awards may be granted under the Equity Incentive Plan. Performance share awards generally provide the Participant with the opportunity to receive shares of the Company's Common Stock and performance units generally provide recipients with the opportunity to receive cash awards, but only if certain performance criteria are achieved over specified performance periods.
Stock Appreciation Rights. The Equity Incentive Plan permits awards of stock appreciation rights, which may be granted independent of or in tandem with a previously or contemporaneously granted stock option. Generally, upon the exercise of a stock appreciation right, the Participant will receive cash, shares of Common Stock, or some combination thereof, having a value equal to the excess of (i) the fair market value of a specified number of shares of the Company's Common Stock, over (ii) a specified exercise price.
Reserved Shares
The stock to be awarded or optioned under the Equity Incentive Plan consists of authorized but unissued shares of common stock. The maximum aggregate number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock reserved and available for award under the Equity Incentive Plan, if the proposed Amendment is approved, will be 3,000,000 shares of Common Stock, provided however, that all shares of stock reserved and available under the Equity Incentive Plan constitute the maximum aggregate number of shares of stock that may be issued through incentive stock options. The following shares of Common Stock will not reduce the pool of authorized shares and will continue to be reserved and available for future awards granted pursuant to the Equity Incentive Plan: (i) all or any portion of any outstanding restricted stock award or restricted stock unit that expires or is forfeited for any reason, or that is terminated prior to the vesting or lapsing of the risks of forfeiture on such award, and (ii) shares of Common Stock covered by an award to the extent the award is settled in cash; provided, however, that the full number of shares of Common Stock subject to a stock appreciation right will reduce the number of shares available for future awards under the Equity Incentive Plan, whether such stock appreciation right is settled in cash or shares of Common Stock. Any shares of Common Stock withheld to satisfy tax withholding obligations on an award, shares of Common Stock withheld to pay the exercise price of an option, and shares of common stock subject to a broker-assisted cashless exercise of an option will reduce the number of shares available for future awards under the Equity Incentive Plan.
Annual Award Limits
Unless and until the Administrator determines that an award to a “covered employee” (as defined in Section 162(m) of the Code) is not intended to be performance-based compensation, the following limits (each, an “Annual Award Limit,” and collectively, “Annual Award Limits”) apply to grants of such awards under the Equity Incentive Plan:
Options and Stock Appreciation Rights. The maximum number of shares of Common Stock subject to Options granted and shares of Common Stock subject to Stock Appreciation Rights granted in any one calendar year to any one Participant is, in the aggregate, 200,000 shares, subject to adjustment for certain corporate events.
Restricted Stock Awards and Restricted Stock Units. The maximum grant with respect restricted stock awards and restricted stock units in any one calendar year to any one Participant is, in the aggregate, 100,000 shares, subject to adjustment for certain corporate events.
Amendments
The Board may from time to time, insofar as permitted by law, suspend or discontinue the Equity Incentive Plan or revise or amend it in any respect. However, except to the extent required by applicable law or regulation or except as provided under the Equity Incentive Plan itself, the Board may not, without shareholder approval, revise or amend
11

the Equity Incentive Plan to (i) materially increase the number of shares subject to the Equity Incentive Plan, (ii) change the designation of participants, including the class of employees, eligible to receive awards, (iii) decrease the price at which options or stock appreciation rights may be granted, (iv) cancel, regrant, repurchase for cash, or replace options or stock appreciation rights that have an exercise price in excess of the fair market value of the common stock with other awards, or amend the terms of outstanding options or stock appreciation rights to reduce their exercise price, (v) materially increase the benefits accruing to participants under the Equity Incentive Plan, or (vi) make any modification that will cause incentive stock options to fail to meet the requirements of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code.
Term
The Administrator may grant awards under the Equity Incentive Plan from time to time until the Administrator discontinues or terminates the Equity Incentive Plan; provided, however, that in no event may incentive stock options be granted pursuant to the Equity Incentive Plan after the earlier of (i) the date the Administrator discontinues or terminates the Equity Incentive Plan, or (ii) the close of business on the day immediately preceding the tenth anniversary of the effective date of the Equity Incentive Plan.
Change of Control
Unless otherwise provided in the terms of an award, upon a change of control of the Company, as defined in the Equity Incentive Plan, the Administrator may provide for one or more of the following: (i) the acceleration of the exercisability, vesting, or lapse of the risks of forfeiture of any or all awards (or portions thereof), (ii) the complete termination of the Equity Incentive Plan and the cancellation of any or all awards (or portions thereof) which have not been exercised, have not vested, or remain subject to risks of forfeiture, as applicable in each case as of the effective date of the change of control, (iii) that the entity succeeding the Company by reason of such change of control, or the parent of such entity, shall assume or continue any or all awards (or portions thereof) outstanding immediately prior to the change of control or substitute for any or all such awards (or portions thereof) a substantially equivalent award with respect to the securities of such successor entity, as determined in accordance with applicable laws and regulations, or (iv) that participants holding outstanding awards will become entitled to receive, with respect to each share of common stock subject to such award (whether vested or unvested, as determined by the Administrator pursuant to the Equity Incentive Plan) as of the effective date of any such change of control, cash in amount equal to (1) for participants holding options, the excess of the fair market value of such common stock on the date immediately preceding the effective date of such change of control over the exercise price per share of options, or (2) for participants holding awards other than options, the fair market value of such common stock on the date immediately preceding the effective date of such change of control. The Administrator need not take the same action with respect to all awards (or portions thereof) or with respect to all participants.
The foregoing summary of the material terms of the Equity Incentive Plan does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the Equity Incentive Plan, as amended, which is attached to this Proxy Statement as Annex A-2.

iSUN EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
The following iSun Executive Compensation describes the material elements of compensation for iSun’s executive officers identified in the Summary Compensation Table (“Named Executive Officers”), and executive officers that iSun may hire in the future. The iSun Compensation Committee is responsible for recommendations relating to compensation of iSun’s directors and executive officers.
Compensation Program Objectives and Rewards
iSun’s compensation philosophy is based on the premise of attracting, retaining, and motivating exceptional leaders, setting high goals, working toward the common objectives of meeting the expectations of customers and stockholders, and rewarding outstanding performance. Following this philosophy, in determining executive compensation, iSun considers all relevant factors, such as the competition for talent, iSun’s desire to link pay with performance in the future, the use of equity to align executive interests with those of iSun’s stockholders, individual contributions, teamwork and performance, and each executive’s total compensation package. iSun strives to accomplish these objectives by compensating all executives with total compensation packages consisting of a combination of competitive base salary and incentive compensation.
The primary purpose of the compensation and benefits described below is to attract, retain, and motivate highly talented individuals who will engage in the behaviors necessary to enable iSun to succeed in its mission while upholding its values in a highly competitive marketplace. Different elements are designed to engender different behaviors, and the actual incentive amounts, which may be awarded to each Named Executive Officer are subject to the annual review of the board of directors. The following is a brief description of the key elements of iSun’s planned executive compensation structure.
Base salary and benefits are designed to attract and retain employees over time.
Incentive compensation awards are designed to focus employees on the business objectives for a particular year.
Equity incentive awards, such as stock options and non-vested stock, focus executives’ efforts on the behaviors within the recipients’ control that they believe are designed to ensure iSun’s long-term success as reflected in increases to iSun’s stock prices over a period of several years, growth in iSun’s profitability and other elements.
Severance and change in control plans are designed to facilitate a company’s ability to attract and retain executives as iSun competes for talented employees in a marketplace where such protections are commonly offered. iSun currently has not given separation benefits to any of its Name Executive Officers.
Benchmarking
iSun has not yet adopted benchmarking but may do so in the future. When making compensation decisions, iSun’s Board may compare each element of compensation paid to the Named Executive Officers against a report showing comparable compensation metrics from a group that includes both publicly-traded and privately-held companies. iSun’s Board believes that while such peer group benchmarks are a point of reference for measurement, they are not necessarily a determining factor in setting executive compensation as each executive officer’s compensation relative to the benchmark varies based on scope of responsibility and time in the position. iSun has not yet formally established its peer group for this purpose.
The Elements of iSun’s Compensation Program
Base Salary
Executive officer base salaries are based on job responsibilities and individual contribution. The iSun Board reviews the base salaries of iSun’s executive officers, including its Named Executive Officers, considering factors such as corporate progress toward achieving objectives (without reference to any specific performance-related targets) and individual performance experience and expertise. Additional factors reviewed by the Board of Directors in determining appropriate base salary levels and raises include subjective factors related to corporate and individual performance. For the years ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the iSun Board approved all executive officer base salary decisions.
13

iSun’s Board determines base salaries for the Named Executive Officers annually, and the iSun Board, upon recommendation of the compensation committee proposes new base salary amounts, if appropriate, based on its evaluation of individual performance and expected future contributions. iSun maintains a 401(k) Plan and base salary is the only element of compensation that is used in determining the amount of contributions permitted under the 401(k) Plan.
Summary Compensation Table
The following table sets forth information regarding the compensation awarded to or earned by the iSun executive officers listed below during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019. As an emerging growth company, iSun has opted to comply with the reduced executive compensation disclosure rules applicable to “smaller reporting companies,” as such term is defined in the rules promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which require compensation disclosure for only iSun’s principal executive officer and the two most highly compensated executive officers other than iSun’s principal executive officer. Throughout this section, these officers are referred to as iSun’s “Named Executive Officers.”

Nonqualified Deferred Compensation
iSun did not sponsor any nonqualified defined contribution plans or other nonqualified deferred compensation plans during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019. Similarly, iSun did not sponsor any nonqualified defined contribution plans or other nonqualified deferred compensation plans during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019. iSun’s management or compensation committee may elect to provide its executive officers and other employees with nonqualified defined contribution or other nonqualified deferred compensation benefits in the future if iSun determines that doing so is in our best interests.
Outstanding Awards as of December 31, 2020 and as of the Record Date
No awards were made under the Equity Incentive Plan in 2020. Consequently no Awards to its named executive officers were outstanding as of December 31, 2020.
As of October 18, 2021, the Company has approved Awards of restricted shares of Common Stock aggregating 286,750 shares of Common Stock and awards of options to acquire shares of Common Stock aggregating 302,000 options, subject to partial vesting and other restrictions.
Executive Employment Agreements and Arrangements
Messrs. Peck, Sullivan, Myrick, and d’Amato and the Company are each parties to an Employment Agreement and Change of Control Agreement.

Common Stock. The powers, preferences and rights, and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions, of the Common Stock Common Stock are as follows:
(i)
Voting. Except as otherwise expressly required by law or provided in this Certificate, and subject to any voting rights provided to holders of Preferred Stock at any time outstanding, the holders of the Common Stock shall exclusively possess all voting power.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as otherwise required by law or this Certificate (including a Preferred Stock Designation), the holders of the Common Stock shall not be entitled to vote on any amendment to this Certificate (including any amendment to any Preferred Stock Designation) that relates solely to the terms of one or more outstanding series of the Preferred Stock if the holders of such affected series are entitled, either separately or together with the holders of one or more other such series, to vote thereon pursuant to this Certificate (including any Preferred Stock Designation). Except as otherwise expressly required by law or provided in this Certificate, and subject to any voting rights provided to holders of Preferred Stock at any time outstanding, there shall be no cumulative voting.

FIFTH: The following provisions are inserted for the management of the business and for the conduct of the affairs of the Corporation, and for further definition, limitation and regulation of the powers of the Corporation and of its directors and stockholders:
A.
Number. The number of directors of the Corporation (exclusive of directors who may be elected by the holders of any one or more series of Preferred Stock which may at any time be outstanding, voting separately as a class or classes) shall be fixed at five.
B.
Classes, Election, Term and Vacancies. Subject to Article Fifth, paragraph D hereof, the Board shall be divided into three classes: Class A, Class B and Class B. The number of directors in each class shall be nearly as equal as possible. Prior to the filing of this Certificate the Board of Directors was comprised of five directors: two Class A directors whose term expired at the 2020 Annual Meeting of Stockholder, one Class B director whose terms expired at the 2021 Annual Meeting and two Class C directors whose terms expire at the 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Directors (including incumbent directors) who are elected to succeed those directors whose term has expired shall be elected for a term expiring at the third Annual Meeting of Stockholders succeeding their election. Except as the DGCL may otherwise require, in the interim between annual meetings of stockholders or special meetings of stockholders called for the election of directors and/or the removal of one or more directors and the filling of any vacancy in that connection, newly created directorships and any vacancies in the Board, including unfilled vacancies resulting from the removal of directors for cause, may be filled by the vote of a majority of the remaining directors then in office, although less than a quorum (as defined in the Corporation’s bylaws), or by the sole remaining director. All directors shall hold office until the expiration of their respective terms of office and
A-1-3

until their successors shall have been elected and qualified. A director elected to fill a vacancy resulting from the death, resignation or removal of a director shall serve for the remainder of the full term of the director whose death, resignation or removal shall have created such vacancy and until his successor shall have been elected and qualified.
C.
Removal. Subject to Article Fifth, paragraph D hereof, any or all of the directors (including persons elected by directors to fill vacancies in the Board) may be removed from office at any time, but only for cause and only by the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the voting power of all then outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class.
D.
Preferred Stock – Directors. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article Fifth, and except as otherwise required by law, whenever the holders of one or more series of the Preferred Stock shall have the right, voting separately by class or series, to elect one or more directors, the term of office, the filling of vacancies, the removal from office and other features of such directorships shall be governed by the terms of such series of the Preferred Stock as set forth in this Certificate (including any Preferred Stock Designation) and such directors shall not be included in any of the classes created pursuant to this Article Fifth unless expressly provided by such terms.
E.
No Ballot Required. Election of directors need not be by ballot unless the bylaws of the Corporation so provide.
F.
Bylaws. The Board shall have the power, without the assent or vote of the stockholders, to make, alter, amend, change, add to or repeal the bylaws of the Corporation as provided in the bylaws of the Corporation.
G.
Approval of Contracts or Acts. The directors in their discretion may submit any contract or act for approval or ratification at any annual meeting of the stockholders or at any meeting of the stockholders called for the purpose of considering any such contract or act, and any contract or act that shall be approved or be ratified by the vote of the holders of a majority of the Common Stock voted at such meeting (provided that a lawful quorum of stockholders be there represented in person or by proxy) shall be as valid and binding upon the Corporation and upon all the stockholders as though it had been approved or ratified by every stockholder of the Corporation, whether or not the contract or act would otherwise be open to legal attack because of directors’ interests, or for any other reason.
H.
Additional Powers. In addition to the powers and authorities hereinbefore stated or by statute expressly conferred upon them, the directors are hereby empowered to exercise all such powers and do all such acts and things as may be exercised or done by the Corporation; subject, nevertheless, to the provisions of the statutes of Delaware, of this Certificate, and to any bylaws from time to time made by the stockholders; provided, however, that no bylaw so made shall invalidate any prior act of the directors which would have been valid if such bylaw had not been made.
I.
Special Meetings of the Stockholders. Except as otherwise required by law and subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock, special meetings of the stockholders of the Corporation may be called only by or at the direction of the Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation or the Board pursuant to a resolution adopted by the Board.
J.
Section 203 of the DGCL. The Corporation expressly elects not to be governed by Section 203 of the DGCL.
K.
Action by Written Consent. Except as otherwise expressly provided by the terms of any series of Preferred Stock permitting the holders of such series of Preferred Stock to act by written consent, any action required or permitted to be taken by the stockholders of the Corporation may be effected by written consent of the stockholders in accordance with the DGCL.
SIXTH: Indemnification.
A.
A director of the Corporation shall not be personally liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the Corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the DGCL, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. If the
A-1-4

DGCL is amended to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors, then the liability of a director of the Corporation shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, as so amended. Any repeal or modification of this paragraph A by the stockholders of the Corporation shall not adversely affect any right or protection of a director of the Corporation with respect to events occurring prior to the time of such repeal or modification.
B.
The Corporation, to the full extent permitted by Section 145 of the DGCL, as amended from time to time, shall indemnify all officers and directors whom it may indemnify pursuant thereto (each an “indemnitee”). Expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by such indemnitee in defending any civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative action, suit or proceeding for which such indemnitee may be entitled to indemnification hereunder shall be paid by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such indemnitee to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as authorized hereby.
C.
The rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses conferred on any indemnitee by this Article Sixth shall not be exclusive of any other rights that any indemnitee may have or hereafter acquire under law, this Certificate, the Corporation’s bylaws, an agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise
D.
Any repeal or amendment of this Article Sixth by the stockholders of the Corporation or by changes in law, or the adoption of any other provision of this Certificate inconsistent with this Article Sixth, shall, unless otherwise required by law, be prospective only (except to the extent such amendment or change in law permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights on a retroactive basis than permitted prior thereto), and shall not in any way diminish or adversely affect any right or protection existing at the time of such repeal or amendment or adoption of such inconsistent provision in respect of any proceeding (regardless of when such proceeding is first threatened, commenced or completed) arising out of, or related to, any act or omission occurring prior to such repeal or amendment or adoption of such inconsistent provision.
E.
This Article Sixth shall not limit the right of the Corporation, to the extent and in the manner authorized or permitted by law, to indemnify and to advance expenses to persons other than indemnitees.
SEVENTH: Creditors. Whenever a compromise or arrangement is proposed between the Corporation and its creditors or any class of them and/or between the Corporation and its stockholders or any class of them, any court of equitable jurisdiction within the State of Delaware may, on the application in a summary way of the Corporation or of any creditor or stockholder thereof or on the application of any receiver or receivers appointed for the Corporation under Section 291 of Title 8 of the Delaware Code or on the application of trustees in dissolution or of any receiver or receivers appointed for the Corporation under Section 279 of Title 8 of the Delaware Code order a meeting of the creditors or class of creditors, and/or of the stockholders or class of stockholders of the Corporation, as the case may be, to be summoned in such manner as said court directs. If a majority in number representing three-fourths in value of the creditors or class of creditors, and/or of the stockholders or class of stockholders of the Corporation, as the case may be, agree to any compromise or arrangement and to any reorganization of the Corporation as a consequence of such compromise or arrangement, the said compromise or arrangement and the said reorganization shall, if sanctioned by the court to which said application has been made, be binding on all the creditors or class of creditors, and/or on all the stockholders or class of stockholders, of the Corporation, as the case may be, and also on the Corporation.
EIGHTH: Exclusive Jurisdiction of Delaware Courts. Unless the Corporation consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware shall be the sole and exclusive forum for (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Corporation, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer or other employee of the Corporation to the Corporation or the Corporation’s stockholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL or the Certificate or bylaws, or (iv) any action asserting a claim against the Corporation governed by the internal affairs doctrine. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in shares of capital stock of the Corporation shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to the provisions of this Article Eighth. The choice of forum provision set forth in this Article Eighth does not apply to any actions arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
A-1-5

NINTH: Amendments to this Certificate.
A.
The Corporation reserves the right to amend, alter, change or repeal any provision contained in this Certificate in the manner now or hereafter prescribed by law, and all rights and powers conferred herein on stockholders, directors and officers are subject to this reserved power.
B.
Notwithstanding anything contained in this Certificate or in the Corporation’s bylaws to the contrary, and notwithstanding the fact that a lesser percentage may be specified by the DGCL, this Certificate shall not be amended unless such action is approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of not less than a simple majority of the total voting power of all outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class.
TENTH: The doctrine of corporate opportunity, or any other analogous doctrine, shall apply with respect to any of the Corporation’s officers or directors, or any of their respective affiliates, in circumstances where the application of any such doctrine would conflict with any fiduciary duties or contractual obligations they may have as of the date of this Certificate or in the future.

The Administrator shall have full power and authority to administer and interpret the Plan, to make and amend rules, regulations and guidelines for administering the Plan, to prescribe the form and conditions of the respective Agreements evidencing each Award (which may vary from Participant to Participant), to amend or revise Agreements evidencing any Award (to the extent the amended terms would be permitted by the Plan and provided that no such revision or amendment, except as is authorized in Section 15, shall impair the terms and conditions of any Award which is outstanding on the date of such revision or amendment to the material detriment of the Participant in the absence of the consent of the Participant), and to make all other determinations necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan (including to correct any defect, omission or inconsistency in the Plan or any Agreement, to the extent permitted by law and the Plan). The Administrator's interpretation of the Plan, and all actions taken and determinations made by the Administrator pursuant to the power vested in it hereunder, shall be conclusive and binding on all parties concerned.
(d)
Limitation on Liability; Actions of Committees. No member of the Board or a Committee shall be liable for any action taken or determination made in good faith in connection with the administration of the Plan.

SECTION 5.
PARTICIPANTS
The Administrator may grant Awards under the Plan to any Employee, Director, or Consultant; provided, however, that only Employees are eligible to receive Incentive Stock Options.

SECTION 6.
STOCK
(a)
Number of Shares Reserved. The stock to be awarded or optioned under the Plan (the “Share Authorization”) shall consist of authorized but unissued or reacquired shares of Common Stock. Subject to Section 15 of the Plan, the maximum aggregate number of shares of Common Stock reserved and available for Awards under the Plan is 3,000,000 shares of Common Stock; provided, however, that all shares of Common Stock reserved and available under the Plan shall constitute the maximum aggregate number of shares of Stock that may be issued through Incentive Stock Options.
(b)
Share Usage. The following shares of Common Stock shall not reduce the Share Authorization and shall continue to be reserved and available for Awards granted pursuant to the Plan: (i) all or any portion of any outstanding Restricted Stock Award or Restricted Stock Unit that expires or is forfeited for any reason, or that is terminated prior to the vesting or lapsing of the risks of forfeiture on such Award, and (ii) shares of Common Stock covered by an Award to the extent the Award is settled in cash; provided, however, that the full number of shares of Common Stock subject to a Stock Appreciation Right shall reduce the Share Authorization, whether such Stock Appreciation Right is settled in cash or shares of Common Stock. Any shares of Common Stock withheld to satisfy tax withholding obligations on an Award, shares of Common Stock withheld to pay the exercise price of an Option, and shares of Common Stock subject to a broker-assisted cashless exercise of an Option shall reduce the Share Authorization.
(c)
Annual Award Limits. Unless and until the Administrator determines that an Award to a Covered Employee shall not be Performance-Based Compensation, the following limits (each, an “Annual Award Limit,” and collectively, “Annual Award Limits”) shall apply to grants of such Awards under the Plan:
(i)
Options and Stock Appreciation Rights. The maximum number of shares of Common Stock subject to Options granted and shares of Common Stock subject to Stock Appreciation Rights granted in any one calendar year to any one Participant shall be, in the aggregate, 200,000 shares, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 15.
(ii)
Restricted Stock Awards and Restricted Stock Units. The maximum grant with respect Restricted Stock Awards and Restricted Stock Units in any one calendar year to any one Participant shall be, in the aggregate, 100,000 shares, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 15.
SECTION 7.
PERFORMANCE OBJECTIVES
(a)
Performance Objectives. Any Performance Objective may be used to measure the performance of the Company and/or Affiliate, as a whole or with respect to any business unit, or any combination thereof as the Administrator may deem appropriate, or any of the specified Performance Objectives as compared to the performance of a group of competitor companies, or published or special index that the Administrator, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate. The Administrator also has the authority to provide for accelerated vesting of any Award based on the achievement of performance goals pursuant to the Performance Objectives; provided, however, that such authority shall be subject to Code Section 162(m) with respect to Awards intended to qualify as Performance-Based Compensation.
(b)
Evaluation of Performance Objectives. The Administrator may provide in any Award based on Performance Objectives that any evaluation of performance may include or exclude any of the following events that occurs during a Performance Period: (i) asset write-downs, (ii) litigation or claim judgments or settlements, (iii) the effect of changes in tax laws, accounting principles, or other laws or provisions affecting reported results, (iv) any reorganization and restructuring programs, (v) extraordinary nonrecurring items as described in FASB Accounting Standards Codification 225-20—Extraordinary and Unusual Items and/or in Management's Discussion and Analysis of financial condition and results of operations appearing in the Company's annual report to shareholders for the applicable year, (vi) acquisitions or divestitures, and (vii) foreign exchange gains and losses. To the extent such inclusions or exclusions affect Awards to Covered Employees, they shall be prescribed in a form that meets the requirements of Code Section 162(m) for deductibility.
A-2-6

(c)
Adjustment of Performance-Based Compensation. Awards that are intended to qualify as Performance-Based Compensation may not be adjusted upward. The Administrator shall retain the discretion to adjust such Awards downward, either on a formula or discretionary basis or any combination, as the Administrator determines.
(d)
Administrator Discretion. In the event that applicable tax and/or securities laws change to permit Administrator discretion to alter the governing Performance Objectives without obtaining shareholder approval of such changes, the Administrator shall have sole discretion to make such changes without obtaining shareholder approval. In addition, in the event that the Administrator determines that it is advisable to grant Awards that shall not qualify as Performance-Based Compensation, the Administrator may make such grants without satisfying the requirements of Code Section 162(m) and, in such case, may apply performance objectives other than those set forth in this Section 7.
SECTION 8.
PAYMENT OF OPTION EXERCISE PRICE
Upon the exercise of an Option, Participants may pay the exercise price of an Option (i) in cash, or with a personal check, certified check, or other cash equivalent, (ii) by the surrender by the Participant to the Company of previously acquired unencumbered shares of Common Stock (through physical delivery or attestation), (iii) through the withholding of shares of Common Stock from the number of shares otherwise issuable upon the exercise of the Option (e.g., a net share settlement), (iv) through broker-assisted cashless exercise if such exercise complies with applicable securities laws and any insider trading policy of the Company, (v) such other form of payment as may be authorized by the Administrator, or (vi) by a combination thereof. In the event the Participant elects to pay the exercise price, in whole or in part, with previously acquired shares of Common Stock or through a net share settlement, the then-current Fair Market Value of the stock delivered or withheld shall equal the total exercise price for the shares being purchased in such manner.
The Administrator may, in its sole discretion, limit the forms of payment available to the Participant and may exercise such discretion any time prior to the termination of the Option granted to the Participant or upon any exercise of the Option by the Participant. “Previously acquired shares of Common Stock” means shares of Common Stock which the Participant owns on the date of exercise (or for the period of time, if any, as may be required by generally accepted accounting principles or any successor principles applicable to the Company).
With respect to payment in the form of Common Stock, the Administrator may require advance approval or adopt such rules as it deems necessary to assure compliance with Rule 16b-3, if applicable.
SECTION 9.
TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF INCENTIVE STOCK OPTIONS
Each Incentive Stock Option shall be evidenced by an Incentive Stock Option Agreement, which shall comply with and be subject to the following terms and conditions:
(a)
Number of Shares and Exercise Price. The Incentive Stock Option Agreement shall state the total number of shares covered by the Incentive Stock Option. Except as permitted by Code Section 424(a), or any successor provision, the exercise price per share shall not be less than one hundred percent (100%) of the per share Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the date the Administrator grants the Incentive Stock Option; provided, however, that if a Participant owns stock possessing more than ten percent (10%) of the total combined Voting Power of all classes of stock of the Company or of its Parent or any Subsidiary, the exercise price per share of an Incentive Stock Option granted to such Participant shall not be less than one hundred ten percent (110%) of the per share Fair Market Value of Common Stock on the date of the grant of the Incentive Stock Option. The Administrator shall have full authority and discretion in establishing the exercise price and shall be fully protected in so doing.
(b)
Exercisability and Term. The Incentive Stock Option Agreement shall state when the Incentive Stock Option becomes exercisable (i.e. “vests”), and, if applicable in the Administrator's discretion, shall describe the Performance Objectives and Performance Period upon which vesting is based, the manner in which performance shall be measured and the extent to which partial achievement of the Performance Objectives may result in vesting of the Option. The Participant may exercise the Incentive Stock Option, in full or in part, upon or after the vesting date of such Option (or portion thereof). Notwithstanding
A-2-7

anything in the Plan or the Agreement to the contrary, the Participant may not exercise an Incentive Stock Option after the maximum term of such Option, as such term is specified in the Incentive Stock Option Agreement. Except as permitted by Code Section 424(a), in no event shall any Incentive Stock Option be exercisable during a term of more than ten (10) years after the date on which it is granted; provided, however, that if a Participant owns stock possessing more than ten percent (10%) of the total combined Voting Power of all classes of stock of the Company or of its Parent or any Subsidiary, the Incentive Stock Option granted to such Participant shall be exercisable during a term of not more than five (5) years after the date on which it is granted. The Administrator may accelerate the exercisability of any Incentive Stock Option granted hereunder which is not immediately exercisable as of the date of grant.
(c)
No Rights as Shareholder. A Participant (or the Participant's successors) shall have no rights as a shareholder with respect to any shares covered by an Incentive Stock Option until the date of the issuance of the Common Stock subject to such Award upon exercise, as evidenced by a stock certificate or as reflected in the books and records of the Company or its designated agent (i.e., a “book entry”). No adjustment shall be made for dividends (ordinary or extraordinary, whether in cash, securities or other property), distributions or other rights for which the record date is prior to the date such shares are actually issued (as evidenced in either certificated or book entry form).
(d)
Withholding. The Company or its Affiliate shall be entitled to withhold and deduct from any future payments to the Participant all legally required amounts necessary to satisfy any and all withholding and employment-related taxes attributable to the Participant's exercise of an Incentive Stock Option or a “disqualifying disposition” of shares acquired through the exercise of an Incentive Stock Option as defined in Code Section 421(b), to require the Participant to remit an amount sufficient to satisfy such withholding requirements, or to require any combination thereof. In the event the Participant is required under the Incentive Stock Option Agreement to pay the Company, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Company respecting payment of, such withholding and employment-related taxes, the Administrator may, in its sole discretion, require the Participant to satisfy such obligation, in whole or in part, by delivering shares of Common Stock or by electing to have the Company withhold shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable to the Participant as a result of the exercise of the Incentive Stock Option. Such shares shall have a Fair Market Value equal to the minimum required tax withholding, based on the minimum statutory withholding rates for federal and state tax purposes, including payroll taxes, that are applicable to the supplemental income resulting from such exercise or disqualifying disposition. In no event may the Participant deliver shares, nor may the Company or any Affiliate withhold shares, having a Fair Market Value in excess of such statutory minimum required tax withholding. The Participant's delivery of shares or the withholding of shares for this purpose shall occur on or before the later of (i) the date the Incentive Stock Option is exercised or the date of the disqualifying disposition, as the case may be, or (ii) the date that the amount of tax to be withheld is determined under applicable tax law.
(e)
Vesting Limitation. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the date an Incentive Stock Option is granted) of the shares of Common Stock with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by a Participant during any calendar year (under the Plan and any other “incentive stock option” plans of the Company or any Affiliate shall not exceed $100,000 (or such other amount as may be prescribed by the Code from time to time); provided, however, that if the exercisability or vesting of an Incentive Stock Option is accelerated as permitted under the provisions of the Plan and such acceleration would result in a violation of the limit imposed by this Section 9(e), such acceleration shall be of full force and effect but the number of shares of Common Stock that exceed such limit shall be treated as having been granted pursuant to a Nonqualified Stock Option; and provided, further, that the limits imposed by this Section 9(e) shall be applied to all outstanding Incentive Stock Options under the Plan and any other “incentive stock option” plans of the Company or any Affiliate in chronological order according to the dates of grant.
(f)
Other Provisions. The Incentive Stock Option Agreement authorized under this Section 9 shall contain such other provisions as the Administrator shall deem advisable. Any such Incentive Stock Option Agreement shall contain such limitations and restrictions upon the exercise of the Incentive Stock Option as shall be necessary to ensure that such Incentive Stock Option will be considered an “incentive stock option” as defined in Code Section 422 or to conform to any change therein.
A-2-8

(a)
Number of Shares and Exercise Price. The Nonqualified Stock Option Agreement shall state the total number of shares covered by the Nonqualified Stock Option. The exercise price per share shall be equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the per share Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the date of grant of the Nonqualified Stock Option, or such higher price as the Administrator determines.
(b)
Exercisability and Term. The Nonqualified Stock Option Agreement shall state when the Nonqualified Stock Option becomes exercisable (i.e. “vests”) and, if applicable in the Administrator's discretion, shall describe the Performance Objectives and Performance Period upon which vesting is based, the manner in which performance shall be measured and the extent to which partial achievement of the Performance Objectives may result in vesting of the Option. The Participant may exercise the Nonqualified Stock Option, in full or in part, upon or after the vesting date of such Option (or portion thereof); provided, however, that the Participant may not exercise a Nonqualified Stock Option after the maximum term of such Option, as such term is specified in the Nonqualified Stock Option Agreement. Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator and specified in the Agreement governing the Award, no Nonqualified Stock Option shall be exercisable during a term of more than ten (10) years after the date on which it is granted. The Administrator may accelerate the exercisability of any Nonqualified Stock Option granted hereunder which is not immediately exercisable as of the date of grant.
(c)
No Rights as Shareholder. A Participant (or the Participant's successors) shall have no rights as a shareholder with respect to any shares covered by a Nonqualified Stock Option until the date of the issuance of the Common Stock subject to such Award upon exercise, as evidenced by a stock certificate or as reflected in the books and records of the Company or its designated agent (i.e., a “book entry”). No adjustment shall be made for dividends (ordinary or extraordinary, whether in cash, securities or other property), distributions or other rights for which the record date is prior to the date such shares are actually issued (as evidenced in either certificated or book entry form).
(d)
Withholding.

In the event the Participant is required under the Nonqualified Stock Option Agreement to pay the Company, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Company respecting payment of, such withholding and employment-related taxes, the Administrator may, in its sole discretion, require the Participant to satisfy such obligation, in whole or in part, by delivering shares of Common Stock or by electing to have the Company withhold shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable to the Participant as a result of the exercise of the Nonqualified Stock Option. Such shares shall have a Fair Market Value equal to the minimum required tax withholding, based on the minimum statutory withholding rates for federal and state tax purposes, including payroll taxes, that are applicable to the supplemental income resulting from such exercise. In no event may the Participant deliver shares, nor may the Company or any Affiliate withhold shares, having a Fair Market Value in excess of such statutory minimum required tax withholding. The Participant's delivery of shares or the withholding of shares for this purpose shall occur on or before the later of (i) the date the Nonqualified Stock Option is exercised, or (ii) the date that the amount of tax to be withheld is determined under applicable tax law.
(e)
Other Provisions. The Nonqualified Stock Option Agreement authorized under this Section 10 shall contain such other provisions as the Administrator shall deem advisable.

(b)
Risks of Forfeiture. The Restricted Stock Award Agreement shall set forth the risks of forfeiture, if any, which shall apply to the shares of Common Stock covered by the Restricted Stock Award and the manner in which such risks of forfeiture shall lapse, including, if applicable in the Administrator's discretion, a description of the Performance Objectives and Performance Period upon which the lapse of risks of forfeiture is based, the manner in which performance shall be measured and the extent to which partial achievement of the Performance Objectives may result in lapse of risks of forfeiture. The Administrator may, in its sole discretion, modify the manner in which such risks of forfeiture shall lapse but only with respect to those shares of Common Stock which are restricted as of the effective date of the modification.
(c)
Issuance of Shares; Rights as Shareholder. Except as provided below, the Company shall cause a stock certificate to be issued and shall deliver such certificate to the Participant or hold such certificate in a manner determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion; provided, however, that in lieu of a stock certificate, the Company may evidence the issuance of shares by a book entry in the records of the Company or its designated agent (if permitted by the Company's designated agent and applicable law, as determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion). The Company shall cause a legend or notation to be placed on such certificate or book entry describing the risks of forfeiture and other transfer restrictions set forth in the Participant's Restricted Stock Award Agreement and providing for the cancellation and, if applicable, return of such certificate or book entry if the shares of Common Stock subject to the Restricted Stock Award are forfeited. Until the risks of forfeiture have lapsed or the shares subject to such Restricted Stock Award have been forfeited, the Participant shall be entitled to vote the shares of Common Stock represented by such stock certificates and shall receive all dividends attributable to such shares, but the Participant shall not have any other rights as a shareholder with respect to such shares.
(d)
Withholding Taxes. The Company or its Affiliate shall be entitled to withhold and deduct from any future payments to the Participant all legally required amounts necessary to satisfy any and all withholding and employment-related taxes attributable to the Participant's Restricted Stock Award, to require the Participant to remit an amount sufficient to satisfy such withholding requirements, or to require any combination thereof. In the event the Participant is required under the Restricted Stock Award Agreement to pay the Company, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Company respecting payment of, such withholding and employment-related taxes, the Administrator may, in its sole discretion, require the Participant to satisfy such obligations, in whole or in part, by delivering shares of Common Stock, including shares of Common Stock received pursuant to the Restricted Stock Award on which the risks of forfeiture have lapsed. Such shares shall have a Fair Market Value equal to the minimum required tax withholding, based on the minimum statutory withholding rates for federal and state tax purposes, including payroll taxes, that are applicable to the supplemental income resulting from the lapsing of the risks of forfeiture on such Restricted Stock Award. In no event may the Participant deliver shares having a Fair Market Value in excess of such statutory minimum required tax withholding.

If payment is made in shares of Common Stock, the Administrator shall cause to be issued one or more stock certificates in the Participant's name and shall deliver such certificates to the Participant in satisfaction of such units; provided, however, that in lieu of stock certificates, the Company may evidence such shares by a book entry in the records of the Company or its designated agent (if permitted by the Company's designated agent and applicable law, as determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion). Until the units subject to the Restricted Stock Unit have vested, the Participant shall not be entitled to vote any shares of Common Stock which may be acquired through the Award, shall not receive any dividends attributable to such shares, and shall not have any other rights as a shareholder with respect to such shares.

(c)
Withholding Taxes.

In the event the Participant is required under the Performance Award Agreement to pay the Company or its Affiliates, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Company or its Affiliates respecting payment of, such withholding and employment-related taxes, the Administrator may, in its discretion and pursuant to such rules as it may adopt, permit the Participant to satisfy such obligations, in whole or in part, by delivering shares of Common Stock, including shares of Stock received pursuant to the Performance Award. Such shares shall have a Fair Market Value equal to the minimum required tax withholding, based on the minimum statutory withholding rates for federal and state tax purposes, including payroll taxes. In no event may the Participant deliver shares having a Fair Market Value in excess of such statutory minimum required tax withholding. The Participant's election to deliver shares of Common Stock for this purpose shall be made on or before the date that the amount of tax to be withheld is determined under applicable tax law. Such election shall be approved by the Administrator and otherwise comply with such rules as the Administrator may adopt to assure compliance with Rule 16b-3, or any successor provision, as then in effect, of the General Rules and Regulations under the Exchange Act, if applicable.
(d)
Nontransferability. No Performance Award shall be transferable, in whole or in part, by the Participant, other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. If the Participant shall attempt any transfer of any Performance Award granted under the Plan, such transfer shall be void and the Performance Award shall terminate.
(e)
No Rights as Shareholder. A Participant (or the Participant's successor or successors) shall have no rights as a shareholder with respect to any shares covered by a Performance Award until the date of the issuance of a stock certificate evidencing such shares. No adjustment shall be made for dividends (ordinary or extraordinary, whether in cash, securities or other property), distributions or other rights for which the record date is prior to the date such stock certificate is actually issued (except as otherwise provided in Section 14 of the Plan).
(f)
Other Provisions. The Performance Award Agreement authorized under this Section 12 shall contain such other provisions as the Administrator shall deem advisable.
SECTION 14.
STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS

A Stock Appreciation Right shall entitle the Participant to receive, upon exercise, cash, shares of Common Stock, or any combination thereof, having a value equal to the excess of (i) the Fair Market Value of a specified number of shares of Common Stock on the date of such exercise, over (ii) a specified exercise price. The number of shares and the exercise price of the Stock Appreciation Right shall be determined by the Administrator on the date of grant. The specified exercise price shall be equal to 100% of the Fair Market Value of such shares of Common Stock on the date of grant of the Stock Appreciation Right, or such
A-2-12

higher price as the Administrator determines. A Stock Appreciation Right may be granted independent of or in tandem with a previously or contemporaneously granted Option.
(b)
Exercisability and Term. The Stock Appreciation Right Agreement shall state when the Stock Appreciation Right becomes exercisable (i.e., “vests”) and, if applicable in the Administrator's discretion, shall describe the Performance Objectives and Performance Period upon which vesting is based, the manner in which performance shall be measured and the extent to which partial achievement of the Performance Objectives may result in vesting of the Stock Appreciation Right. The Participant may exercise the Stock Appreciation Right, in full or in part, upon or after the vesting date of such Stock Appreciation Right (or portion thereof); provided, however, that the Participant may not exercise a Stock Appreciation Right after the maximum term of such Stock Appreciation Right, as such term is specified in the Stock Appreciation Right Agreement. Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator and specified in the Agreement governing the Award, no Stock Appreciation Right shall be exercisable during a term of more than ten (10) years after the date on which it is granted.
The Administrator may accelerate the exercisability of any Stock Appreciation Right granted hereunder which is not immediately exercisable as of the date of grant. If a Stock Appreciation Right is granted in tandem with an Option, the Stock Appreciation Right Agreement shall set forth the extent to which the exercise of all or a portion of the Stock Appreciation Right shall cancel a corresponding portion of the Option, and the extent to which the exercise of all or a portion of the Option shall cancel a corresponding portion of the Stock Appreciation Right.
(c)
Withholding Taxes. The Company or its Affiliate shall be entitled to withhold and deduct from any future payments to the Participant all legally required amounts necessary to satisfy any and all withholding and employment-related taxes attributable to the Participant's Stock Appreciation Right, to require the Participant to remit an amount sufficient to satisfy such withholding requirements, or to require any combination thereof. In the event the Participant is required under the Stock Appreciation Right to pay the Company or its Affiliate, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Company or its Affiliate respecting payment of, such withholding and employment-related taxes, the Administrator may, in its sole discretion, require the Participant to satisfy such obligation, in whole or in part, by delivering shares of Common Stock or by electing to have the Company withhold shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable to the Participant as a result of the exercise of the Stock Appreciation Right. Such shares shall have a Fair Market Value equal to the minimum required tax withholding, based on the minimum statutory withholding rates for federal and state tax purposes, including payroll taxes, that are applicable to the supplemental income resulting from such exercise. In no event may the Participant deliver shares, nor may the Company or any Affiliate withhold shares, having a Fair Market Value in excess of such statutory minimum required tax withholding. The Participant's delivery of shares or the withholding of shares for this purpose shall occur on or before the later of (i) the date the Stock Appreciation Right is exercised, or (ii) the date that the amount of tax to be withheld is determined under applicable tax law.
(d)
No Rights as Shareholder. A Participant (or the Participant's successors) shall have no rights as a shareholder with respect to any shares covered by a Stock Appreciation Right until the date of the issuance of a stock certificate evidencing such shares; provided, however, that in lieu of stock certificates, the Company may evidence such shares by a book entry in the records of the Company or its designated agent (if permitted by the Company's designated agent and applicable law, as determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion). No adjustment shall be made for dividends (ordinary or extraordinary, whether in cash, securities or other property), distributions or other rights for which the record date is prior to the date such stock certificate is actually issued or such book entry is made.
(e)
Other Provisions. The Stock Appreciation Right Agreement authorized under this Section 14 shall contain such other provisions as the Administrator shall deem advisable, including but not limited to any restrictions on the exercise of the Stock Appreciation Right which may be necessary to comply with Rule 16b-3.

In the event of an increase or decrease in the number of shares of Common Stock resulting from a stock dividend, stock split, reverse split, combination or reclassification of the Common Stock, or any other increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of Common Stock effected without receipt of consideration by the Company, other than due to conversion of the convertible securities of the Company, the Administrator may, in its sole discretion, adjust the value determinations applicable to outstanding Awards and the Plan in order to reflect such change, including adjustment of the class and number of shares of stock reserved under Section 6 of the Plan, the class and number of shares of stock covered by each outstanding Award, and, if and as applicable, the exercise price per share of each outstanding Award and the Annual Award Limits. Additional shares which may become covered by the Award pursuant to such adjustment shall be subject to the same restrictions as are applicable to the shares with respect to which the adjustment relates.
(b)
Liquidation. Unless otherwise provided in the Agreement evidencing an Award, in the event of a dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Administrator may provide for one or both of the following:
(i)
the acceleration of the exercisability of any or all outstanding Options or Stock Appreciation Rights, the vesting and payment of any or all Performance Awards, or Restricted Stock Units, or the lapsing of the risks of forfeiture on any or all Restricted Stock Awards; provided, however, that no such acceleration, vesting or payment shall occur if the acceleration, vesting or payment would violate the requirements of Code Section 409A; or
(ii)
the complete termination of the Plan and the cancellation of any or all Awards (or portions thereof) which have not been exercised, have not vested, or remain subject to risks of forfeiture, as applicable, in each case immediately prior to the completion of such a dissolution or liquidation.
(c)
Change of Control. Unless otherwise provided in the Agreement evidencing an Award, in the event of a Change of Control, the Administrator may provide for one or more of the following:
(i)
the acceleration of the exercisability of any outstanding Options or Stock Appreciation Rights (or portions thereof), the vesting and payment of any Performance Awards (or portions thereof), or the lapsing of the risks of forfeiture on any Restricted Stock Awards or Restricted Stock Units (or portion thereof);
(ii)
the complete termination of this Plan, the cancellation of outstanding Options or Stock Appreciation Rights (or portion thereof) not exercised prior to a date specified by the Board (which date shall give Participants a reasonable period of time in which to exercise such Option or Stock Appreciation Right prior to the effective date of such Change of Control), the cancellation of any Performance Award (or portion thereof) and the cancellation of any Restricted Stock Awards or Restricted Stock Units (or portion thereof) for which the risks of forfeiture have not lapsed;
(iii)
that the entity succeeding the Company by reason of such Change of Control, or the parent of such entity, shall assume or continue any or all Awards (or portions thereof) outstanding immediately prior to the Change of Control or substitute for any or all such Awards (or portions thereof) a substantially equivalent award with respect to the securities of such successor entity, as determined in accordance with applicable laws and regulations; or
(iv)
that Participants holding outstanding Awards shall become entitled to receive, with respect to each share of Common Stock subject to such Award (whether vested or unvested, as determined by the Administrator pursuant to subsection (c)(i) hereof) as of the effective date of any such Change of Control, cash in an amount equal to (1) for Participants holding Options or Stock Appreciation Rights, the excess of the Fair Market Value of such Common Stock on the date immediately preceding the effective date of such Change of Control over the exercise price per share of Options or Stock Appreciation Rights, or (2) for Participants holding Awards other than Options or Stock Appreciation Rights, the Fair Market Value of such Common Stock on the date immediately preceding the effective date of such Change of Control.
A-2-14

The Administrator need not take the same action with respect to all Awards (or portions thereof) or with respect to all Participants. In addition, the Administrator may restrict the rights of or the applicability of this Section 15 to the extent necessary to comply with Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, the Internal Revenue Code or any other applicable law or regulation. The grant of an Award pursuant to the Plan shall not limit in any way the right or power of the Company to make adjustments, reclassifications, reorganizations or changes of its capital or business structure or to merge, exchange or consolidate or to dissolve, liquidate, sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets.
SECTION 16.
NONTRANSFERABILITY
(a)
In General. Except as expressly provided in the Plan or an Agreement, no Award shall be transferable by the Participant, in whole or in part, other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. If the Participant shall attempt any transfer of any Award, such transfer shall be void and the Award shall terminate.
(b)
Nonqualified Stock Options. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 16 to the contrary, the Administrator may, in its sole discretion, permit the Participant to transfer any or all Nonqualified Stock Options to any member of the Participant's “immediate family” as such term is defined in Rule 16a-1(e) of the Exchange Act, or any successor provision, or to one or more trusts whose beneficiaries are members of such Participant's “immediate family” or partnerships in which such family members are the only partners; provided, however, that the Participant cannot receive any consideration for the transfer and such transferred Nonqualified Stock Option shall continue to be subject to the same terms and conditions as were applicable to such Nonqualified Stock Option immediately prior to its transfer.
(c)
Beneficiary Designation. Each Participant may, from time to time, name any beneficiary or beneficiaries (who may be named contingently or successively) to whom any benefit under the Plan is to be paid in case of such Participant's death before receipt of any or all of such benefit. Each such designation shall revoke all prior designations by the same Participant, shall be in a form prescribed by the Administrator, and will be effective only when filed by the Participant in writing with the Company during the Participant's lifetime. In the absence of any such designation, benefits remaining unpaid at the Participant's death shall be paid to the Participant's estate.
SECTION 17.
INVESTMENT PURPOSE AND SECURITIES COMPLIANCE
No shares of Common Stock shall be issued pursuant to the Plan unless and until there has been compliance, in the opinion of Company's counsel, with all applicable legal requirements, including without limitation, those relating to securities laws and stock exchange listing requirements. As a condition to the issuance of Common Stock to Participant, the Administrator may require Participant to (a) represent that the shares of Common Stock are being acquired for investment and not resale and to make such other representations as the Administrator shall deem necessary or appropriate to qualify the issuance of the shares as exempt from the Securities Act of 1933 and any other applicable securities laws, and (b) represent that Participant shall not dispose of the shares of Common Stock in violation of the Securities Act of 1933 or any other applicable securities laws.
As a further condition to the grant of any Option or the issuance of Common Stock to a Participant, the Participant agrees to the following:
(a)
In the event the Company advises the Participant that it plans an underwritten public offering of its Common Stock in compliance with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Participant will execute any lock-up agreement the Company and the underwriter(s) deem necessary or appropriate, in their sole discretion, in connection with such public offering.
(b)
In the event the Company makes any public offering of its securities and determines in its sole discretion that it is necessary to reduce the number of outstanding Awards so as to comply with any state's securities or Blue Sky law limitations with respect thereto, the Board of Directors of the Company shall have the right (i) to accelerate the exercisability of any Award and the date on which such Award must be exercised or remove the risks of forfeiture to which the Award is subject, provided that the Company gives Participant prior written notice of such acceleration or removal, and (ii) to cancel any outstanding Awards (or portions thereof) which Participant does not exercise prior to or contemporaneously with such public offering.
A-2-15

(c)
In the event of a Change of Control, Participant will comply with Rule 145 of the Securities Act of 1933 and any other restrictions imposed under other applicable legal or accounting principles if Participant is an “affiliate” (as defined in such applicable legal and accounting principles) at the time of the Change of Control, and Participant will execute any documents necessary to ensure compliance with such rules.
The Company reserves the right to place a legend on any stock certificate (or a notation on any book entry shares permitted by the Administrator) issued in connection with an Award pursuant to the Plan to assure compliance with this Section 17.
The Company shall not be required to register or maintain the registration of the Plan, any Award, or any Common Stock issued or issuable pursuant to the Plan under the Securities Act of 1933 or any other applicable securities laws. If the Company is unable to obtain the authority that the Company or its counsel deems necessary for the lawful issuance and sale of Common Stock under the Plan, the Company shall not be liable for the failure to issue and sell Common Stock upon the exercise, vesting, or lapse of restrictions of forfeiture of an Award unless and until such authority is obtained. A Participant shall not be eligible for the grant of an Award or the issuance of Common Stock pursuant to an Award if such grant or issuance would violate any applicable securities law.
SECTION 18.
AMENDMENT OF THE PLAN
The Board may from time to time, insofar as permitted by law, suspend or discontinue the Plan or revise or amend it in any respect; provided, however, that no such suspension, termination, revision, or amendment, except as is authorized in Section 15, shall impair the terms and conditions of any Award which is outstanding on the date of such suspension, termination, revision, or amendment to the material detriment of the Participant without the consent of the Participant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as provided in Section 15 of the Plan or to the extent required by applicable law or regulation, the Board may not, without shareholder approval, revise or amend the Plan to (i) materially increase the number of shares subject to the Plan, (ii) change the designation of Participants, including the class of Employees, eligible to receive Awards, (iii) decrease the price at which Options or Stock Appreciation Rights may be granted, (iv) cancel, regrant, repurchase for cash, or replace Options or Stock Appreciation Rights that have an exercise price in excess of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock with other awards, or amend the terms of outstanding Options or Stock Appreciation Rights to reduce their exercise price, (v) materially increase the benefits accruing to Participants under the Plan, or (vi) make any modification that will cause Incentive Stock Options to fail to meet the requirements of Code Section 422.
To the extent applicable, the Plan and all Agreements shall be interpreted to be exempt from or comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A and, if applicable, to comply with Code Section 422, in each case including the regulations, notices, and other guidance of general applicability issued thereunder. Furthermore, notwithstanding anything in the Plan or any Agreement to the contrary, the Board may amend the Plan or Agreement to the extent necessary or desirable to comply with such requirements without the consent of the Participant.
SECTION 19.
RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS ASSOCIATED WITH AWARDS
(a)
No Obligation to Exercise. The granting of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right shall impose no obligation upon the Participant to exercise such Option or Stock Appreciation Right.
(b)
No Employment or Other Service Rights. The granting of an Award hereunder shall not impose upon the Company or any Affiliate any obligation to retain the Participant in its employ or service for any period.
(c)
Unfunded Plan. Participants shall have no right, title, or interest whatsoever in or to any particular assets of the Company or any of its Affiliates by reason of the right to receive a benefit under the terms of the Plan. Nothing contained in the Plan, and no action taken pursuant to its provisions, shall create or be construed to create a trust of any kind, or a fiduciary relationship between the Company and any Participant, beneficiary, legal representative, or any other person. To the extent that any person acquires a right to receive shares of Common Stock or payments from the Company or any of its Affiliates under the Plan, such right shall be no greater than the right of an unsecured general creditor of the Company or an Affiliate, as the case may be. All payments to be made hereunder shall be paid from the general funds of the Company or an Affiliate, as the case may be. In its sole discretion, the Administrator may authorize the creation of trusts or other arrangements to meet the obligations created under the Plan to deliver the shares
A-2-16

of Common Stock or make payments in lieu of or with respect to Awards hereunder; provided, however, that the existence of such trusts or other arrangements is consistent with the unfunded status of the Plan.
SECTION 20.
MISCELLANEOUS
(a)
Issuance of Shares. The Company is not required to issue or remove restrictions on shares of Common Stock granted pursuant to the Plan until the Administrator determines that: (i) all conditions of the Award have been satisfied, (ii) all legal matters in connection with the issuance have been satisfied, and (iii) the Participant has executed and delivered to the Company such representations or agreements as the Administrator may consider appropriate, in its sole discretion, to satisfy the requirements of any applicable law or regulation.
(b)
Choice of Law. The law of the state of Delaware shall govern all questions concerning the construction, validity, and interpretation of the Plan, without regard to that state's conflict of laws rules.
(c)
Severability. In the event that any provision of the Plan shall be held illegal or invalid for any reason, such illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining provisions of the Plan, and the Plan shall be construed and enforced as if the illegal or invalid provision had not been included.
(d)
No Duty to Notify. The Company shall have no duty or obligation to any Participant to advise such Participant as to the time and manner of exercising an Award or as to the pending termination or expiration of such Award. In addition, the Company has no duty or obligation to minimize the tax consequences of an Award to the Participant.
