ITEM 4. Description of Securities.

Not Applicable.

ITEM 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
 
Not Applicable.
 
ITEM 6. Indemnification of Officers and Directors.
 
Our Restated Certificate of Incorporation generally provides for the maximum indemnification of a corporation’s officers and directors as permitted by law in the State of Delaware. Delaware law empowers a corporation to indemnify any person who was or is a party or who is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, except in the case of an action by or in the right of the corporation, by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or other enterprise. Depending on th e character of the proceeding, a corporation may indemnify against expenses (including attorney’s fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if the person indemnified acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and with respect to any criminal action or proceedings, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.

A corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or other enterprise, against expenses, including amounts paid in settlement and attorney’s fees actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with the defense or settlement of the action or suit if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the be st interests of the corporation. Indemnification may not be made for any claim, issue or matter as to which such a person has been adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion of all appeals therefrom, to be liable to the corporation or for amounts paid in settlement to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the court in which the action or suit was brought or other court of competent jurisdiction determines upon application that in view of all the circumstances of the case, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court deems proper.
 
To the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to above, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he or she must be indemnified by the corporation against expenses, including attorney’s fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense. The corporation, unless ordered by a court or advanced pursuant to this section, must make any indemnification under this section, only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances. The determination must be made: (a) by the stockholders; (b) by the board of directors by majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the action, suit or proceeding; (c) if a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the action, suit or proceeding so orders, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion; or (d) if a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the action, suit or proceeding cannot be obtained, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion.
 
The certificate of incorporation, the bylaws or an agreement made by the corporation may provide that the expenses of officers and directors incurred in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding must be paid by the corporation as they are incurred and in advance of the final disposition of the action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer to repay the amount if it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation. The provisions of this section do not affect any rights to advancement of expenses to which corporate personnel other than directors or officers may be entitled under any contract or otherwise by law.
 
The indemnification and advancement of expenses authorized in or ordered by a court as referenced above: (a) does not exclude any other rights to which a person seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under the certificate of incorporation or any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, for either an action in his or her official capacity or an action in another capacity while holding his or her office, and (b) continues for a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and inures to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.

 
 

 

Further, we have entered into agreements of indemnification with our directors that provide for customary procedures regarding defense of claims and advancement of expenses.  We have purchased directors’ and officers’ liability insurance which would indemnify our directors and officers against damages arising out of certain kinds of claims made against them for negligent acts or omissions while acting in their capacity as directors and officers.
 
ITEM 8. Exhibits.
 
See Index to Exhibits included elsewhere in this registration statement.
 
ITEM 9. Undertakings.
 
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
 
(1)  That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
 
(2)  To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
 
(i)  To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
 
(ii)  To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggreg ate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and
 
(iii)  To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this registration statement or any material change to such information in this registration statement;
 
provided, however, that paragraphs (2)(i) and (2)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this registration statement.
 
(3)  To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
 
(4)  That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness; provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contra ct of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.
 
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 
 

 


Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant wi ll, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
 
SIGNATURES
 
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act, the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this registration statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in Montgomeryville, Pennsylvania on December 2, 2010.

Registration Statement on Form S-8 relating to the Photomedex, Inc. Amended and Restated 2005 Equity Compensation Plan and the Amended and Restated 2000 Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan    
 
Ladies and Gentlemen:
 
We have acted as counsel to Photomedex, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the filing of the referenced Registration Statement (the “Registration Statement”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“the Act”), with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).  The Registration Statement relates to the proposed offering and sale of up to 455,715 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), issuable under the Company’s Amended and Restated 2005 Equity Compensation Plan (the “2005 Plan”) and 10,000 shares of Common Stock issuable under the Company’s Amended and Restated 2000 Non-Employee Director Stock Op tion Plan (the “2000 Plan”) (collectively, the “Shares”). We have examined such certificates, records, statutes and other documents as we have deemed relevant in such shares under the 2005 Plan and the 2000 Plan filing, rendering this opinion.

In connection with this opinion letter, we have examined the Registration Statement and originals, or copies certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Company and such other documents, records and instruments as we have deemed appropriate for the purposes of the opinion set forth herein.
 
We have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of all natural persons, the authenticity of the documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity with the originals of all documents submitted to us as certified, facsimile or photostatic copies and the authenticity of the originals of all documents submitted to us as copies.
 
Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the Shares have been duly authorized by the Company and, when issued and delivered by the Company in accordance with the terms of the 2005 Plan or the 2000 Plan, as applicable, in the manner contemplated by the Registration Statement,  will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
 
The opinions expressed herein are limited to the Delaware General Corporation Law.
 
We hereby consent to the use of this opinion as Exhibit 5.1 to the Registration Statement. In giving such consent, we do not hereby admit that we are acting within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Act or the rules or regulations of the SEC thereunder.
 
Very truly yours,
 
/s/ Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP

1.       Purposes of the Plan. The purposes of this PhotoMedex, Inc. 2005 Equity Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) are to attract and retain the best available personnel for positions of substantial responsibility, to provide additional incentives to Employees, Directors and Consultants, and to promote the success of the Company and the Company’s Affiliates.

The Plan is hereby amended and restated, subject to stockholder approval at the annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders on October 28,2010, to increase the number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance hereunder, increase the maximum number of shares for which any one participant may receive in any one calendar year, amend provisions relating to the grant of performance-based stock awards that are designed to qualify as “qualified performance-based compensation” under Code Section 162(m), to expand the individuals eligible to receive awards under the Plan to include Directors and to allow for a repricing of certain outstanding stock options in a one-time exchange offer.  Such amendments shall be effective on August 3, 2010, subject to approval of the Plan by the stockholders of the Company. Such approval was secured at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders on October 28, 2010.

(b)    Powers of the Administrator. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Administrator shall have the authority, in its discretion:

(i)    to determine the Fair Market Value;

(ii)   to select the Service Providers to whom Options, Stock Purchase Rights, Stock Awards, Stock Appreciation Rights and Unrestricted Shares may be granted hereunder;

(iii)    to determine the number of shares of Common Stock to be covered by each Award granted hereunder;

(iv)    to approve forms of agreement for use under the Plan;

(v)    to determine the terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, of any Award granted hereunder and of any Option Agreement, Stock Purchase Agreement, Stock Award Agreement and Stock Appreciation Right Agreement. Such terms and conditions include, but are not limited to, the exercise price, the time or times when Options or Stock Purchase Rights may be exercised (which may be based on performance criteria), any vesting, acceleration or waiver of forfeiture provisions, and any restriction or limitation regarding any Option, Stock Purchase Right, Stock Award, Stock Appreciation Right or grant of Unrestricted Shares or the Shares of Common Stock relating thereto, based in each case on such factors as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, shall determine;

(vii)    to prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to the Plan, including rules and regulations relating to sub-plans established for the purpose of qualifying for preferred tax treatment under foreign tax laws;

(viii)    to allow Optionees to satisfy withholding tax obligations by having the Company withhold from the Shares to be issued upon exercise of an Option that number of Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount required to be withheld, provided that withholding is calculated at no less than the minimum statutory withholding level. The Fair Market Value of the Shares to be withheld shall be determined as of the date that the income resulting from exercise of the Option is recognized by the Optionee. All determinations to have Shares withheld for this purpose shall be made by the Administrator in its discretion;
 
 
(ix)    to authorize any person to execute on behalf of the Company any agreement entered into pursuant to the Plan and any instrument required to effect the grant of an Award previously granted by the Administrator; and

(x)    to make all other determinations deemed necessary or advisable for purposes of administering the Plan.

 
 

 


(c)    Effect of Administrator’s Decision. The Administrator’s decisions, determinations and interpretations shall be final and binding on all holders of Awards. Neither the Administrator, nor any member or delegate thereof, shall be liable for any act, omission, interpretation, construction or determination made in good faith in connection with the Plan, and each of the foregoing shall be entitled in all cases to indemnification and reimbursement by the Company in respect of any claim, loss, damage or expense (including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising or resulting therefrom to the fullest extent permitted by law and/or under any directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage which may be in effect f rom time to time.

5.       Eligibility. Nonstatutory Stock Options, Stock Purchase Rights, Stock Awards, Stock Appreciation Rights and Unrestricted Shares may be granted to all Service Providers. Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to Employees. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, an Award may be granted to a person who is not then a Service Provider; provided, however, that the grant of such Award shall be conditioned upon such person’s becoming a Service Provider at or prior to the time of the execution of the agreement evidencing such Award.

6.       Limitations.

(a)    Each Option shall be designated in the applicable Option Agreement as either an Incentive Stock Option or a Nonstatutory Stock Option. However, notwithstanding such designation, if an Employee becomes eligible in any given year to exercise Incentive Stock Options for Shares having a Fair Market Value in excess of $100,000, those Options representing the excess shall be treated as Nonstatutory Stock Options. In the previous sentence, “Incentive Stock Options” include Incentive Stock Options granted under any plan of the Company or any Affiliate. For the purpose of deciding which Options apply to Shares that “exceed” the $100,000 limit, Incentive Stock Options shall be taken into account in the same order as granted. The Fair Market Value of the Shares shall be determined as of the time the Option with respect to such Shares is granted.

(b)    Neither the Plan nor any Award nor any agreement entered into pursuant to the Plan shall confer upon a Participant any right with respect to continuing the grantee’s relationship as a Service Provider with the Company or any Affiliate, nor shall they interfere in any way with the Participant’s right or the right of the Company or any Affiliate to terminate such relationship at any time, with or without cause.

7.       Term of the Plan. The Plan was originally effective December 28, 2005 and shall continue in effect for a term of ten (10) years from such date unless terminated earlier under Section 20 of the Plan.

8.       Term of Options. The term of each Option shall be stated in the applicable Option Agreement or, if not so stated, ten years from the date of grant. However, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to an Optionee who, at the time the Incentive Stock Option is granted, owns, directly or indirectly, stock representing more than ten percent (10%) of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company and any Parent or Subsidiary, the term of the Incentive Stock Option shall be five (5) years from the date of grant or such shorter term as may be provided in the applicable Option Agreement.

9.       Option Exercise Price; Exercisability.

(a)    Exercise Price. The per share exercise price for the Shares to be issued pursuant to exercise of an Option shall be determined by the Administrator, subject to the following:

(i)    In the case of an Incentive Stock Option:
 
 
(A)    granted to an Employee who, at the time the Incentive Stock Option is granted, owns stock representing more than ten percent (10%) of the voting power of all classes of stock of the Company and any Affiliate, the per Share exercise price shall be not less than 110% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant, or

(B)    granted to any Employee other than an Employee described in paragraph (A) immediately above, the per Share exercise price shall be not less than 100% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant.

(ii)    In the case of a Non-statutory Stock Option, the per Share exercise price shall be not less than 100% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant.

(iii)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, Options may not be granted with a per Share exercise price of less than 100% (or 110%, if clause (i)(A) above applies) of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant pursuant to a merger or other comparable corporate transaction.

 
 

 



(b)    Exercise Period and Conditions. At the time that an Option is granted, the Administrator shall fix the period within which the Option may be exercised and shall determine any conditions that must be satisfied before the Option may be exercised.

10.       Exercise of Options; Consideration.

(a)    Procedure for Exercise; Rights as a Stockholder. Any Option granted hereunder shall be exercisable according to the terms of the Plan and at such times and under such conditions as determined by the Administrator and set forth in the Option Agreement, provided, however, that unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, each Option shall vest and become exercisable as to 20% of the Shares subject to such Option on the first anniversary of its date of grant, as to an additional 20% of the Shares subject to such Option on the second anniversary of its date of grant, as to an additional 20% of the Shares subject to such Option on the third anniversary of its date of grant, as to an additional 20% of the Shares subject to such Option on the fourth anni versary of its date of grant and as to the balance of the Shares subject to such Option on the fifth anniversary of its date of grant. Unless the Administrator provides otherwise, vesting of Options granted hereunder shall be tolled during any unpaid leave of absence. An Option may not be exercised for a fraction of a Share. An Option shall be deemed exercised when the Company receives: (i) written or electronic notice of exercise (in accordance with the Option Agreement) from the person entitled to exercise the Option, and (ii) full payment for the Shares with respect to which the Option is exercised. Full payment may consist of any consideration and method of payment authorized by the Administrator and permitted by the Option Agreement and Section 10(f) of the Plan. Shares issued upon exercise of an Option shall be issued in the name of the Optionee. Until the Shares are issued (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company), no righ t to vote or receive dividends or any other rights as a stockholder shall exist with respect to the Optioned Stock, notwithstanding the exercise of the Option. The Company shall issue (or cause to be issued) such Shares promptly after the Option is exercised. No adjustment will be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to the date the Shares are issued, except as provided in Section 17 of the Plan. Exercising an Option in any manner shall decrease the number of Shares thereafter available, both for purposes of the Plan and for sale under the Option, by the number of Shares as to which the Option is exercised.

(b)    Termination of Relationship as a Service Provider. If an Optionee ceases to be a Service Provider, other than as a result of the Optionee’s death, Disability or termination for Cause, the Optionee may exercise his or her Option within such period of time as is specified in the Option Agreement to the extent that the Option is vested on the date of termination (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Notice of Grant). In the absence of a specified time in the Option Agreement and except as otherwise provided in Sections 10(c), 10(d) and 10(e) of this Plan, the Option shall remain exercisable for three months following the Optionee’s termination (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of such Option). If, on the date of termination, the Optionee is not vested as to his or her entire Option, the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option shall revert to the Plan. If, after termination, the Optionee does not exercise his or her Option in full within the time specified by the Administrator, the unexercised portion of the Option shall terminate, and the Shares covered by such unexercised portion of the Option shall revert to the Plan. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, an Optionee who changes his or her status as a Service Provider (e.g., from being an Employee to being a Consultant or a Director) shall not be deemed to have ceased being a Service Provider for purposes of this Section 10(b), nor shall a transfer of employment among the Company and any Affiliate be considered a termination of employment; provided, however, tha t if an Optionee owning Incentive Stock Options ceases being an Employee but continues as a Consultant or a Director, such Incentive Stock Options shall be deemed to be Nonstatutory Stock Options three months after the date of such cessation.

(c)    Disability of an Optionee. If an Optionee ceases to be a Service Provider as a result of the Optionee’s Disability, the Optionee may exercise his or her Option within such period of time as is specified in the Option Agreement to the extent the Option is vested on the date of termination (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Notice of Grant). In the absence of a specified time in the Option Agreement, the Option shall remain exercisable for twelve (12) months following the Optionee’s termination (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of such Option). If, on the date of termination, the Optionee is not vested as to his or her entire Option, the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option shall revert to the Plan. If, after termination, the Optionee does not exercise his or her Option in full within the time specified herein, the unexercised portion of the Option shall terminate, and the Shares covered by such unexercised portion of the Option shall revert to the Plan.

 
 

 


(d)    Death of an Optionee. If an Optionee dies while a Service Provider, the Option may be exercised within such period of time as is specified in the Option Agreement (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Notice of Grant), by the Optionee’s estate or by a person who acquires the right to exercise the Option by bequest or inheritance, but only to the extent that the Option is vested on the date of death. In the absence of a specified time in the Option Agreement, the Option shall remain exercisable for twelve (12) months following the Optionee’s death (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of such Option). If, at the time of death, the Optionee is not vested as to his or her ent ire Option, the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option shall revert to the Plan. If the Option is not so exercised in full within the time specified herein, the unexercised portion of the Option shall terminate, and the Shares covered by the unexercised portion of such Option shall revert to the Plan.

(e)    Termination for Cause. Unless otherwise provided in a Service Provider’s Option Agreement, if a Service Provider’s relationship with the Company is terminated for Cause, then such Service Provider shall have no right to exercise any of such Service Provider’s Options at any time on or after the effective date of such termination. All Shares covered by such Options and not acquired by exercise prior to the date of such termination shall revert to the Plan.

(f)    Form of Consideration. The Administrator shall determine the acceptable form of consideration for exercising an Option, including the method of payment. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option, the Administrator shall determine the acceptable form of consideration at the time of grant. Such consideration may consist entirely of:

(i)    cash;

(ii)    check;

(iii)   other Shares of the Company’s Common Stock which (A) have been owned by the Optionee for more than six months on the date of surrender, and (B) have a Fair Market Value on the date of surrender equal to the aggregate exercise price of the Shares as to which said Option shall be exercised;

(iv)    consideration received by the Company under a cashless exercise program permitted by the Administrator, including a cashless exercise program utilizing the services of a single broker acceptable to the Administrator;

(v)    a reduction in the amount of any Company liability to the Optionee, including any liability attributable to the Optionee’s participation in any Company-sponsored deferred compensation program or arrangement, subject to the applicable requirements of Code Section 409A;
 
 
(vi)    any combination of the foregoing methods of payment; or

(vii)    such other consideration and method of payment for the issuance of Shares to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws.

In addition, to the extent an Option is at the time exercisable for vested Shares of Common Stock, all or any part of that vested portion may be surrendered to the Company for an appreciation distribution payable in Shares of Common Stock with a Fair Market Value at the time of the Option surrender equal to the dollar amount by which the then Fair Market Value of the Shares of Common Stock subject to the surrendered portion exceeds the aggregate exercise price payable for those Shares.

11.       Stock Purchase Rights.

(a)    Rights to Purchase. Stock Purchase Rights may be issued either alone, in addition to, or in tandem with Options or other Awards granted under the Plan and/or cash awards made outside of the Plan. After the Administrator determines that it will offer Stock Purchase Rights under the Plan, it shall advise the Stock Purchase Awardee in writing or electronically, by means of a Notice of Grant and/or a Stock Purchase Agreement in the form determined by the Administrator, of the terms, conditions and restrictions related to the offer, including the number of Shares that the Stock Purchase Awardee shall be entitled to purchase and the price to be paid for such Shares. The offer shall be accepted by execution of a Stock Purchase Agreement in a form determined b y the Administrator and payment of the applicable purchase price.

 
 

 


(b)    Repurchase Option. Unless the Administrator determines otherwise, the Stock Purchase Agreement shall grant the Company a repurchase option exercisable upon the voluntary or involuntary termination of the Stock Purchase Awardee’s service with the Company for any reason (including death or Disability). The purchase price for Shares repurchased pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement shall be the original price paid by the Stock Purchase Awardee and may be paid by cancellation of any indebtedness of the Stock Purchase Awardee to the Company. The repurchase option shall lapse at a rate determined by the Administrator; provided, however, that unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, the restrictions shall lapse as to 20% of the Shares subject to such Stock Purchase Agreement on the first anniversary of its date of grant, as to as to an additional 20% of the Shares subject to such Stock Purchase Agreement on the second anniversary of its date of grant, as to an additional 20% of the Shares subject to such Stock Purchase Agreement on the third anniversary of its date of grant, as to an additional 20% of the Shares subject to such Stock Purchase Agreement on the fourth anniversary of its date of grant and as to the balance of the Shares subject to such Stock Purchase Agreement on the fifth anniversary of its date of grant.

(c)    Other Provisions. The Stock Purchase Agreement shall contain such other terms, provisions and conditions not inconsistent with the Plan as may be determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion.

(d)    Rights as a Stockholder. Once the Stock Purchase Right is exercised, the Stock Purchase Awardee shall have the rights equivalent to those of a stockholder, and shall be a stockholder when his or her purchase is entered upon the records of the duly authorized transfer agent of the Company. No adjustment will be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to the date the Stock Purchase Right is exercised, except as provided in Section 17 of the Plan.

12.       Stock Awards. The Administrator may, in its sole discretion, grant (or sell at par value or such higher purchase price as it determines) Shares to any Service Provider, as defined herein, subject to such terms and conditions, including vesting and/or performance conditions, as the Administrator sets forth in a Stock Award Agreement evidencing such grant. Stock Awards may be granted or sold in respect of past services or other valid consideration or in lieu of any cash compensation otherwise payable to such individual. The grant of Stock Awards shall be subject to the following provisions:

(a)    At the time a Stock Award is made, the Administrator shall establish a vesting period (the “Restricted Period”) applicable to the Stock Award Shares subject to such Stock Award or shall determine that such Stock Award is not subject to any vesting requirements. Subject to the right of the Administrator to establish a Restricted Period that extends vesting dates to later or earlier dates than the dates provided in this sentence, the Restricted Period of a Stock Award, if any, shall lapse as follows: the restrictions shall lapse as to one third of the Shares subject to such Stock Award on the fifth anniversary of its date of grant, as to an additional one third of the Shares subject to such Stock Award on the sixth anniversary of its date of grant and as to the balance of the Shares subject to such Stock Award on the seventh anniversary of its date of grant. The Administrator may, in its sole discretion, at the time a grant is made, prescribe restrictions in addition to or in lieu of the expiration of the Restricted Period, including the satisfaction of corporate or individual performance objectives. The Administrator may provide that all restrictions on Stock Award Shares shall lapse if certain performance criteria are met and that, if such criteria are not met, that such restrictions shall lapse if certain vesting conditions are satisfied. None of the Stock Award Shares may be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged or otherwise encumbered or disposed of during the Restricted Period applicable to such Stock Award Shares or prior to the satisfaction of any other restrictions prescribed by the Administrator with respect to such Stock Award Shares.
 
 
(b)    The Company shall issue, in the name of each Service Provider to whom Stock Award Shares have been granted, stock certificates representing the total number of Stock Award Shares granted to such person, as soon as reasonably practicable after the grant. The Company, at the direction of the Administrator, shall hold such certificates, properly endorsed for transfer, for the Stock Awardee’s benefit until such time as the Stock Award Shares are forfeited to the Company, or the restrictions lapse.

(c)    Unless otherwise provided by the Administrator, holders of Stock Award Shares shall have the right to vote such Shares and have the right to receive any cash dividends with respect to such Shares. All distributions, if any, received by a Stock Awardee with respect to Stock Award Shares as a result of any stock split, stock distribution, combination of shares, or other similar transaction shall be subject to the restrictions of this Section 12.

(d)    Subject to the terms of the applicable Stock Award Agreement, any Stock Award Shares granted to a Service Provider pursuant to the Plan shall be forfeited if, prior to the date on which all restrictions applicable to such Stock Award shall have lapsed, the Stock Awardee voluntarily terminates employment with the Company or its

 
 

 

Affiliates or resigns or voluntarily terminates his consultancy arrangement with the Company or its Affiliates or if the Stock Awardee’s employment or the consultant’s consultancy arrangement is terminated for Cause. If the Stock Awardee’s employment or consultancy arrangement terminates for any other reason, the Stock Award Shares held by such person shall be forfeited, unless the Administrator, in its sole discretion, shall determine otherwise. Upon such forfeiture, the Stock Award Shares that are forfeited shall be retained in the treasury of the Company and be available for subsequent awards under the Plan.
 
 
(e)    Upon the satisfaction of the conditions prescribed by the Administrator with respect to a particular Stock Award, the restrictions applicable to the related Stock Award Shares shall lapse and, at the Stock Awardee’s request, a stock certificate for the number of Stock Award Shares with respect to which the restrictions have lapsed shall be delivered, free of all such restrictions under the Plan, to the Stock Awardee or his beneficiary or estate, as the case may be.

13.       Unrestricted Shares. The Administrator may grant Unrestricted Shares in accordance with the following provisions:

(a)    The Administrator may cause the Company to grant Unrestricted Shares to Service Providers at such time or times, in such amounts and for such reasons as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, shall determine. No payment (other than the par value thereof, in the Administrator’s discretion) shall be required for Unrestricted Shares.

(b)    The Company shall issue, in the name of each Service Provider to whom Unrestricted Shares have been granted, stock certificates representing the total number of Unrestricted Shares granted to such individual, and shall deliver such certificates to such Service Provider as soon as reasonably practicable after the date of grant or on such later date as the Administrator shall determine at the time of grant.

14.         Stock Appreciation Rights. The Administrator may grant Stock Appreciation Rights in accordance with the following provisions:

(a)    Tandem Stock Appreciation Rights may be awarded by the Administrator in connection with any Option granted under the Plan, either at the time such Option is granted or thereafter at any time prior to the exercise, termination or expiration of such Option. The base price of any Tandem Stock Appreciation Rights shall be not less than the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the date of grant of the related Option. Nontandem Stock Appreciation Rights may also be granted by the Administrator at any time. At the time of grant of Nontandem Stock Appreciation Rights, the Administrator shall specify the number of shares of Common Stock covered by such right and the base price of shares of Common Stock to be used in connection with the calculation described in Section 14(d). The base price of any Nontandem Stock Appreciation Rights shall be not less than the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the date of grant. Stock Appreciation Rights shall be subject to such terms and conditions not inconsistent with the other provisions of the Plan as the Administrator shall determine.
 
 
(b)    Tandem Stock Appreciation Rights shall be exercisable only to the extent that the related Option is exercisable and shall be exercisable only for such period as the Administrator may determine (which period may expire prior to the expiration date of the related Option); provided, however, if no such period is specified, a Tandem Stock Appreciation Right shall be exercisable only for the period that the related Option is exercisable. Upon the exercise of all or a portion of Tandem Stock Appreciation Rights, the related Option shall be canceled with respect to an equal number of shares of Common Stock. Shares of Common Stock subject to Options, or portions thereof, surrendered upon exercise of Tandem Stock Appreciation Rights shall not be available for subsequent awards under the Plan. Nontandem Stock Apprecia tion Rights shall be exercisable during such period as the Administrator shall determine.

(c)    Tandem Stock Appreciation Rights shall entitle the applicable Participant to surrender to the Company unexercised the related Option, or any portion thereof, and, subject to Section 14(f) to receive from the Company in exchange therefor that number of shares of Common Stock having an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to (A) the excess of (i) the Fair Market Value of one (1) share of Common Stock as of the date the Tandem Stock Appreciation Rights are exercised over (ii) the Option exercise price per share specified in such Option, multiplied by (B) the number of shares of Common Stock subject to the Option, or portion thereof, which is surrendered. In addition, the Optionee shall be entitled to receive an amount equal to any credit against the Option exercise price which would have been allowed had the Optio n, or portion thereof, been exercised. Cash shall be delivered in lieu of any fractional shares.

 
 

 


(d)    The exercise of Nontandem Stock Appreciation Rights shall, subject to Section 14(f), entitle the recipient to receive from the Company that number of shares of Common Stock having an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to (A) the excess of (i) the Fair Market Value of one (1) share of Common Stock as of the date on which the Nontandem Stock Appreciation Rights are exercised over (ii) the base price of the shares covered by the Nontandem Stock Appreciation Rights, multiplied by (B) the number of shares of Common Stock covered by the Nontandem Stock Appreciation Rights, or the portion thereof, being exercised. Cash shall be delivered in lieu of any fractional shares.

(e)    As soon as is reasonably practicable after the exercise of any Stock Appreciation Rights, the Company shall (i) issue, in the name of the recipient, stock certificates representing the total number of full shares of Common Stock to which the recipient is entitled pursuant to Section 14(c) and Section 14(d) and cash in an amount equal to the Fair Market Value, as of the date of exercise, of any resulting fractional shares, or (ii) if the Administrator causes the Company to elect to settle all or part of its obligations arising out of the exercise of the Stock Appreciation Rights in cash pursuant to Section 14(f), deliver to the recipient an amount in cash equal to the Fair Market Value, as of the date of exercise, of the shares of Common Stock it would otherwise be obligated to deliver.

(f)    The Administrator, in its discretion, may cause the Company to settle all or any part of its obligation arising out of the exercise of Stock Appreciation Rights by the payment of cash in lieu of all or part of the shares of Common Stock it would otherwise be obligated to deliver in an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of such shares on the date of exercise.

15.         Qualified Performance-Based Compensation. The Administrator may determine that Stock Awards granted to a Service Provider shall be considered “qualified performance-based compensation” under Code Section 162(m). The following provisions shall apply to grants of Stock Awards that are to be considered “qualified performance-based compensation” under Code Section 162(m):
 
 
(a)           Performance Goals. When Stock Awards that are to be considered “qualified performance-based compensation” are granted, the Administrator shall establish in writing (A) the objective performance goals that must be met, (B) the performance period during which the performance will be measured, (C) the threshold, target and maximum amounts that may be paid if the performance goals are met, and (D) any other conditions that the Administrator deems appropriate and consistent with the Plan and Code Section 162(m).

(b) Criteria Used for Objective Performance Goals. The Administrator shall use objectively determinable performance goals that are based on one or more of the following measures: stock price, the market capitalization of our common stock (i.e. the price of our common stock multiplied by the number of our shares outstanding), earnings per share, income before taxes and extraordinary items, net income, operating income, revenues, earnings before income tax, EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization), after-tax or pre-tax profits, operational cash flow, return on capital employed or return on invested capital, after-tax or pre-tax return on stockholders’ equity, decreasing or increasing the level in, or increase in all or a portion of assets and/or liabilities, stockholder return, return on equity, growth in assets, unit volume, sales or market share, or strategic business criteria consisting of one or more objectives based on meeting specified revenue goals, market penetration goals, geographic business expansion goals and cost targets or goals relating to acquisitions or divestitures. The business criteria may relate to one or more business units or the performance of the Company and its subsidiaries as a whole, or any combination of the foregoing, and in either absolute terms or relative to the performance of one or more comparable companies or an index covering multiple companies. The Administrator may provide, at the time the performance goals are established, that adjustments will be made to the applicable performance goals to take into account, in any objective manner specified by the Administrator, the impact of one or more of the following: (i) gain or loss from all or certain claims and/or litigation and insurance recoveries, (ii) the impairment of tangible or intangible assets, (iii) stock-based compensation expense, (iv) extraordinary, unusual or infrequently occurring events reported in our public filings, (v) restructuring activities reported in our public filings, (vi) investments, dispositions or acquisitions, (vii) gain or loss from the disposal of certain assets, (viii) gain or loss from the early extinguishment, redemption, or repurchase of debt, or (ix) changes in accounting principles that become effective during the performance period.

(c) Establishment of Goals. The Administrator shall establish the performance goals in writing either before the beginning of the performance period or during a period ending no later than the earlier of (i) 90 days after the beginning of the performance period or (ii) the date on which 25% of the performance period has been completed, or such other date as may be required or permitted under applicable regulations under Code Section 162(m). The performance goals shall satisfy the requirements for “qualified performance-based compensation,” including the requirement that the achievement of the goals be substantially uncertain at the time they are established and that the goals be established in such a way that a third party with knowledge of the relevant facts co uld determine whether and to what extent the performance goals have been met. The Administrator shall not have

 
 

 

discretion to increase the amount of compensation that is payable upon achievement of the designated performance goals.

(d) Certification of Results. The Administrator shall certify and announce the results for each performance period to all Participants after the announcement of the Company’s financial results for the performance period. If and to the extent that the Administrator does not certify that the performance goals have been met, the grants of Stock Awards for the performance period shall be forfeited or shall not be made, as applicable.

(e) Death, Disability or Other Circumstances. The Administrator may provide that Stock Awards shall be payable, in whole or in part, in the event of the Participant’s death or Disability, a Change in Control Event or under other circumstances consistent with the Treasury regulations and rulings under Code Section 162(m).

16.         Non-Transferability. Unless determined otherwise by the Administrator, an Option, Stock Appreciation Right, Stock Purchase Right and Stock Award (until such time as all restrictions lapse) may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred, or disposed of in any manner other than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution and, in the case of an Option, Stock Appreciation Right or Stock Purchase Right, may be exercised, during the lifetime of a Participant, only by the Participant. If the Administrator makes an Award transferable, such Award shall contain such additional terms and conditions as the Administrator deems appropriate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrator, in its sole discretion, may provide in the Option Agreement regarding a given Option that the Optionee may transfer, without consideration for the transfer, his or her Nonstatutory Stock Options to members of his or her immediate family, to trusts for the benefit of such family members, or to partnerships in which such family members are the only partners, provided that the transferee agrees in writing with the Company to be bound by all of the terms and conditions of this Plan and the applicable Option. During the period when Shares subject to Stock Purchase Agreements and Stock Award Shares are restricted (by virtue of vesting schedules or otherwise), such Shares may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred, or disposed of in any manner other than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution.

17.         Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization; Dissolution; Change in Control and Other Events.

(a)    Changes in Capitalization. Subject to any required action by the stockholders of the Company, the number of Shares of Common Stock covered by each outstanding Option, Stock Purchase Right, Stock Award Agreement and Stock Appreciation Right and the number of Shares of Common Stock which have been authorized for issuance under the Plan but as to which no Awards have yet been granted or which have been returned to the Plan upon cancellation or expiration of an Option, Stock Purchase Right, Stock Award Agreement or Stock Appreciation Right, as well as the price per share of Common Stock covered by each such outstanding Option, Stock Purchase Right or Stock Appreciation Right, shall be proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number of i ssued shares of Common Stock resulting from a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, 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; provided, however, that conversion of any convertible securities of the Company shall not be deemed to have been “effected without receipt of consideration.” Such adjustment shall be made by the Administrator, whose determination in that respect shall be final, binding and conclusive. Except as expressly provided herein, no issuance by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number or price of Shares of Common Stock subject to an Award hereunder.

(b)    Dissolution or Liquidation. In the event of the proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Administrator shall notify each holder of an Award as soon as practicable prior to the effective date of such proposed dissolution or liquidation. The Administrator in its discretion may provide for an Optionee to have the right to exercise his or her Option or Stock Appreciation Right and for a holder of a Stock Purchase Right to exercise his or her Stock Purchase Right until ten (10) days prior to such transaction as to all of the Shares covered thereby, including Shares as to which an applicable Option or Stock Appreciation Right would not otherwise be exercisable. In addition, the Administrator may provide that any Company repurchase option appli cable to any Shares purchased upon exercise of a Stock Purchase Right or any restrictions as to any Stock Award shall lapse as to all such Shares covered thereby, provided the proposed dissolution or liquidation takes place at the time and in the manner contemplated. To the extent it has not been previously exercised, an Option, Stock Purchase Right or Stock Appreciation Right will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed action.

 
 

 


(c)    Exercisability and Vesting Upon a Change in Control Event. Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan other than Section 17(d), in the event that a “Change in Control Event” occurs, all Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, Stock Purchase Stock and Restricted Stock granted hereunder which are held by Participants as of the occurrence of such a Change in Control Event shall become fully exercisable or vested immediately and automatically upon the occurrence of such a Change in Control Event, except that in the case of Restricted Stock that is subject to a performance restriction based on the Fair Market Value of the Company’s Common Stock, the Company’s repurchase rights applicable to such Restricted Stock shall lapse with respect to a Change in Control Event only if and to the extent that the per-share purchase price paid or deemed paid by the Acquirer (defined below) would suffice to fulfill such performance restriction; the balance of the Restricted Stock (or cash paid by the Acquirer for such shares) shall cease to be subject to any further repurchase rights by the Acquirer ratably and monthly over the period of time (but not greater than 36 months) that the Acquirer contracts for the Services of the Participant who beneficially holds the Restricted Stock, and if the Acquirer does not engage the Services of the Participant, the unvested shares of Restricted Stock shall vest as of the Change in Control Event. For purposes of this Plan, the term “Change in Control Event” shall mean any of the following events:

(i) the acquisition by any one person, or more than one person acting as a group (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3), of ownership of stock of the Company possessing more than 50% of the total voting power of the capital stock of the Company (the “Acquirer”); or

(ii) (a) any consolidation or merger of the Company, in which the holders of voting stock of the Company immediately before the consolidation or merger will not own 50% or more of the voting shares of the continuing or surviving corporation (or if the transaction is structured as merger or consolidation of subsidiaries, 50% or more of the continuing or surviving parent corporation) immediately after such consolidation or merger, or (b) any sale, lease, exchange or other transfer (in one transaction or series of related transactions) of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company (any transaction contemplated by this clause (ii) being referred to herein as a “Sale of the Company”), where in subparagraph “a” the dominant holders of voting stock shall be re garded as an Acquirer and in subparagraph “b” the transferee shall be regarded as an Acquirer.

(iii) Other Definition. The Administrator may modify the definition of Change in Control Event for a particular Award as the Administrator deems appropriate to comply with Code Section 409A or otherwise.
 
 
(d)    Assumption of Options and Awards. In the event of a Sale of the Company, each outstanding Option and Stock Appreciation Right, as modified pursuant to Section 17(c), shall be assumed or an equivalent option or right substituted by the successor corporation or a parent or subsidiary of the successor corporation. In the event that the Administrator determines that, at least thirty days prior to the scheduled consummation of such Sale of the Company, the successor corporation or a parent or a subsidiary of the successor corporation has refused to assume each outstanding Option and Stock Appreciation Right, as modified pursuant to Section 17(c), or substitute an equivalent option or stock appreciation right for each outstanding Option and Stock Appreciatio n Right, as modified pursuant to Section 17(c), then the Administrator shall notify all holders of outstanding Options and Stock Appreciation Rights that all outstanding Options and Stock Appreciation Rights shall be fully exercisable for a period of twenty (20) days from the date of such notice and that any Options and Stock Appreciation Rights that are not exercised within such period shall terminate upon consummation of such Sale of the Company.

18.         Substitute Options. In the event that the Company, directly or indirectly, acquires another entity, the Board may authorize the issuance of stock options (“Substitute Options”) to the individuals performing services for the acquired entity in substitution of stock options previously granted to those individuals in connection with their performance of services for such entity upon such terms and conditions as the Board shall determine, taking into account the conditions of Code Section 424(a) and Code Section 409A, as from time to time amended or superseded, in the case of a Substitute Option that is intended to be an Incentive Stock Option. Shares of capital stock underlying Substitut e Stock Options shall not constitute Shares issued pursuant to this Plan for any purpose.

19.         Date of Grant. The date of grant of an Option, Stock Purchase Right, Stock Award, Stock Appreciation Right or Unrestricted Share shall be, for all purposes, the date on which the Administrator makes the determination granting such Option, Stock Purchase Right, Stock Award, Stock Appreciation Right or Unrestricted Share, or such other later date as is determined by the Administrator. Notice of the determination shall be provided to each grantee within a reasonable time after the date of such grant.

20.         Amendment and Termination of the Plan.

(a)    Amendment and Termination. The Board may at any time amend, alter, suspend or terminate the Plan.

 
 

 


(b)    Stockholder Approval. The Company shall obtain stockholder approval of any Plan amendment to the extent necessary to comply with Applicable Laws.

(c)    Effect of Amendment or Termination. No amendment, alteration, suspension or termination of the Plan shall impair the rights of any Participant with respect to an outstanding Award, unless mutually agreed otherwise between the Participant and the Administrator, which agreement shall be in writing and signed by the Participant and the Company. Termination of the Plan shall not affect the Administrator’s ability to exercise the powers granted to it hereunder with respect to Awards granted under the Plan prior to the date of such termination.

(d)    No Repricing Without Stockholder Approval. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, the Administrator may not reprice Options, nor may the Board amend the Plan to permit repricing of Options, unless the stockholders of the Company provide prior approval for such repricing. The term “repricing” shall have the meaning given that term in the rules of the stock exchange on which the Company’s Common Stock is listed and shall not include adjustments pursuant to Section 17 of the Plan, provided, however, that upon approval of the Company’s stockholders (which approval was secured at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders on October 28, 2010), the Administrator may provide for, and the Company may implement, a one-time-on ly option exchange offer, pursuant to which certain outstanding Options could, at the election of the person holding such Option, be tendered to the Company for cancellation in exchange for the issuance of a new Option to purchase fewer Shares of Common Stock at a lower exercise price.
 
 
21.         Conditions Upon Issuance of Shares.

(a)    Legal Compliance. Shares shall not be issued in connection with the grant of any Stock Award or Unrestricted Share or the exercise of any Option, Stock Appreciation Right or Stock Purchase Right unless such grant or the exercise of such Option, Stock Appreciation Right or Stock Purchase Right and the issuance and delivery of such Shares shall comply with Applicable Laws.

(b)    Investment Representations. As a condition to the grant of any Award or the exercise of any Option, Stock Appreciation Right or Stock Purchase Right, the Company may require the person receiving such Award or exercising such Option, Stock Appreciation Right or Stock Purchase Right to represent and warrant at the time of any such exercise or grant that the applicable Shares are being acquired only for investment and without any present intention to sell or distribute such Shares if, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, such a representation is required.
 
 
(c)    Additional Conditions. The Administrator shall have the authority to condition the grant of any Award or rights in such other manner that the Administrator determines to be appropriate, provided that such condition is not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan. Such conditions may include, among other things, obligations of recipients to execute lock-up agreements and stockholder agreements in the future. The Administrator may implement such measures as the Administrator deems appropriate to determine whether Shares acquired as a result of the exercise of an Incentive Stock Option have been the subject of a “disqualifying disposition” for federal income tax purposes, including requiring the Optionee to hold such Shares in his or her own na me and requiring that the Optionee notify the Administrator of any such “disqualifying disposition.”

(d)    Trading Policy Restrictions. Option, Stock Appreciation Right and Stock Purchase Right exercises and other Awards under the Plan shall be subject to the terms and conditions of any insider trading policy established by the Company or the Administrator.


22.         Inability to Obtain Authority. The inability of the Company to obtain authority from any regulatory body having jurisdiction over the Company, which authority is deemed by the Company’s counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any Shares hereunder, shall relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to issue or sell such Shares as to which such requisite authority shall not have been obtained.

23.         Reservation of Shares. The Company, during the term of this Plan, will at all times reserve and keep available such number of Shares as shall be sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the Plan.

24.         Stockholder Approval. The Plan shall be subject to approval by the stockholders of the Company within twelve (12) months after the date the Plan is adopted by the Board. Such stockholder approval shall be obtained in the manner and to the degree required under Applicable Laws.

 
 

 

 
 
25.         Withholding; Notice of Sale. The Company shall be entitled to withhold from any amounts payable to an Employee any amounts which the Company determines, in its discretion, are required to be withheld under any Applicable Law as a result of any action taken by a holder of an Award.

26.         Governing Law. This Plan shall be governed by the laws of the state of Delaware, without regard to conflict of law principles.

27.         Option Grants under Other Plans. From and after the date on which this Plan is approved by the stockholders of the Company, no subsequent stock option grants shall be made under the following plans heretofore adopted by the Company: 2000 Stock Option Plan; 1998 Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan; 1995 Non-Qualified Option Plan; 2004 Stock Option Plan; 1996 Stock Option Plan; 1991 Restated Stock Option Plan for Non-Employee Directors; and 1989 Restated Stock Option Plan.

28.         Code Section 409A. The Plan is intended to comply with the applicable requirements of Code Section 409A and the regulations promulgated thereunder to the extent applicable, and shall be administered in accordance with Code Section 409A to the extent Code Section 409A is applicable to the Plan or any Award hereunder. Each Award shall be subject to such terms as the Administrator determines, and shall be construed and administered, such that the Award either (i) qualifies for an exemption from the requirements of Code Section 409A, or (ii) satisfies such requirements. Awards granted under the Plan shall be structured in a manner consistent with the requirements of Code Section 409A and payment or d istributions with respect thereto shall only be made in a manner and upon an event permitted under Code Section 409A and, to the extent required under Code Section 409A, payments or distributions to a Participant who is a “specified employee” (within the meaning of such term under Code Section 409A) upon his or her separation from service shall be postponed and subject to a six-month delay and shall be paid within 15 days after the end of the six-month period following separation from service or if the Participant dies during the postponement period prior to the payment of postponed amount, the amounts withheld on account of Code Section 409A shall be paid to the personal representative of the Participant’s estate within 60 days after the date of the Participant’s death. All payments to be made upon a termination of employment or service shall only be made upon a “separation from service” under Code Section 409A. In no event shall a Participant, directly or indirectly desi gnate the calendar year in which payment or distribution is made.

The Company may refuse to permit the sale or other disposition of any shares acquired pursuant to any such representation until it is satisfied that such sale or oth er disposition would not be in contravention of applicable state or federal securities law.

7. Grants and Terms of Options

7.1. Grant. Effective as of January 1, 2010, each Eligible Director shall be automatically granted an Option to purchase 834 Shares.

(iii) For Annual Grants of Options issued as of January 1 of any fiscal year, the Fair Market Value shall be measured as of the last trading date of the prior year;

The Plan Committee may also provide, in the case of any nonqualified option, that such option may be exercised on a cashless basis, by Optionee’s submitting the original Option Agreement, together with a statement to such effect on Optionee’s election form. No share of Stock shall be issued until full payment therefor has been made, and no optionee shall have any rights as an owner of shares of Stock until the date of issuance to him of the stock certificate evidencing such Stock.

7.7. Expiration. Except as otherwise provided herein, if not previously exercised each Option shall expire upon the tenth anniversary of the date of the grant thereof.

8. Effect of Termination of Directorship

8.1. General. Unless provided otherwise in the Option agreement, upon a Participant’s Termination of Directorship for any reason except death, Disability or Cause, prior to the complete exercise of an Option (or deemed exercise thereof), then such Option shall thereafter be exercisable to the extent such Option is vested and shall remain exercisable until the earlier of (i) the expiration of the ninety (90) day period following the Participant’s Termination of Directorship or (ii) the remaining term of the Option.

8.2. Death or Disability. Unless provided otherwise in the Option agreement, upon Termination of Directorship on account of Disability or death, all outstanding Options then exercisable and not exercised by the Participant prior to such Termination of Directorship shall remain exercisable by the Participant or, in the case of death, by the Participant’s estate or by the person given authority to exercise such Options by his or her will or by operation of law, until the earlier of (i) first anniversary of the Participant’s Termination of Directorship or (ii) the remaining term of the Option.

 
 

 


8.3. Termination by Company for Cause. Upon removal, failure to stand for reelection or failure to be renominated for Cause, or if the Company obtains or discovers information after Termination of Directorship that such Participant had engaged in conduct during such directorship that would have justified a removal for Cause during such directorship, all outstanding Options of such Participant shall immediately terminate and shall be null and void.

8.4. Cancellation of Options. Options that were not exercisable during the period a Participant serves as a director shall not become exercisable upon a Termination of Directorship for any reason whatsoever, and such Options shall terminate and become null and void upon a Termination of Directorship.

9. Nontransferability of Options

No Option shall be transferable by any Participant otherwise than (i) by will, other instrument of testamentary distribution, or under applicable laws of descent and distribution, or (ii) to such Participant’s retirement plan or grantor trust to the extent that such transferability does not disqualify the Shares underlying such options from qualification for registration by the Company on Form S-8. Except as provided above, no Option shall be assigned, negotiated, pledged or hypothecated in any way (whether by operation of law or otherwise), and no Option shall be subject to execution, attachment or similar process. Upon any attempt to transfer, assign, negotiate, pledge or hypothecate any Option, or in the event of any levy upon any Option by reason of any execution, attachment or similar process contrary to the provisions here of, such Option shall immediately terminate and become null and void. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may determine at the time of grant or thereafter that an Option that is otherwise not transferable pursuant to this Article 9 is transferable in whole or in part and in such circumstances, and under such conditions, as specified by the Committee.
 
10. Rights as a Stockholder

A Participant (or a permitted transferee of an Option) shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to any Shares covered by such Participant’s Option until such Participant (or permitted transferee) shall have become the holder of record of such Shares, and no adjustments shall be made for dividends in cash or other property or distributions or other rights in respect to any such Shares, except as otherwise specifically provided in this Plan.

11. Securities Law Requirements

The Company’s obligation to issue Shares upon exercise of an option is expressly conditioned upon the completion by the Company of any registration or other qualification of such shares under any state and/or federal law or rulings and regulations of any government regulatory body or the making of such investment representations or other representations and undertakings by the optionee (or his legal representative, heir or legatee, as the case may be) in order to comply with the requirements of any exemption from any such registration or other qualification of such shares which the Company in its sole discretion shall deem necessary or advisable. The Company may refuse to permit the sale or other disposition of any shares acquired pursuant to any such representation until it is satisfied that such sale or other disposition would not be in contravention of applicable state or federal securities law.

12. Termination, Amendment and Modification

12.1 Subject to the number of Shares authorized for issuance under the Plan as provided in Section 5.2, the Plan shall continue in effect without limit unless and until the Board otherwise determines. The termination of the Plan shall not terminate any outstanding Options that by their terms continue beyond such termination date. The Committee or the Board at any time or from time to time may amend this Plan to effect (i) amendments necessary or desirable in order that this Plan and the Options shall conform to all applicable laws and regulations, and (ii) any other amendments deemed appropriate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, solely to the extent required by law, the Committee or the Board may not effect any amendment that would require the approval of the stockholders of the Company under applicable law or under any regulation of a principal national securities exchange or automated quotation system sponsored by the National Association of Securities Dealers unless such approval is obtained.

12.2 This Plan may be amended or terminated at any time by the stockholders of the Company.

12.3 Except as otherwise required by law, no termination, amendment or modification of this Plan may, without the consent of the Participant or the permitted transferee of his Option, alter or impair the rights and obligations arising under any then outstanding Option.

 
 

 


13. Use of Proceeds

The proceeds of the sale of Shares subject to Options under the Plan are to be added to the general funds of the Company and used for its general corporate purposes as the Board shall determine.

14. General Provisions

14.2. Trusts, etc. Nothing contained in the Plan and no action taken pursuant to the Plan (including, without limitation, the grant of any Option thereunder) shall create or be construed to create a trust of any kind, or a fiduciary relationship, between the Company and any Participant or the executor, administrator or other personal representative or designated beneficiary of such Participant, or any other persons. If and to the extent that any Participant or such Participant’s executor, administrator or other personal representative, as the case may be, acquires a right to receive any payment from the Company pursuant to the Plan, such right shall be no greater than the right of an unsecured general creditor of the Company.

14.3. Notices. Any notice to the Company required by or in respect of this Plan will be addressed to the Company at 147 Keystone Drive, Montgomeryville, Pennsylvania 18936, fax: 215-619-3209, Attention: Chief Financial Officer, or such other place of business as shall become the Company’s principal executive offices from time to time. Each Participant shall be responsible for furnishing the Committee with the current and proper address for the mailing to such Participant of notices and the delivery to such Participant of agreements, Shares and payments. Any such notice to the Participant will, if the Company has received notice that the Participant is then deceased, be given to the Participant’s personal representative if such representative has previously informed the Company of his or her status and address (and has prov ided such reasonable substantiating information as the Company may request) by written notice under this Section. Any notice required by or in respect of this Plan will be deemed to have been duly given when delivered in person or when dispatched by telecopy and deposited in the United States mail by first class delivery within one business day following dispatch by telecopy, or, in the case of notice to the Company, by facsimile as described above, or one business day after having been dispatched by a nationally recognized overnight courier service or three business days after having been mailed by United States registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid. The Company assumes no responsibility or obligation to deliver any item mailed to such address that is returned as undeliverable to the addressee and any further mailings will be suspended until the Participant furnishes the proper address.

14.4. Severability of Provisions. If any provisions of the Plan shall be held invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions of the Plan, and the Plan shall be construed and enforced as if such provisions had not been included.

14.5. Payment to Minors, etc. Any benefit payable to or for the benefit of a minor, an incompetent person or other person incapable of receipt thereof shall be deemed paid when paid to such person’s guardian or to the party providing or reasonably appearing to provide for the care of such person, and such payment shall fully discharge the Committee, the Company and their employees, agents and representatives with respect thereto.

14.6. Headings and Captions. The headings and captions herein are provided for reference and convenience only. They shall not be considered part of the Plan and shall not be employed in the construction of the Plan.

14.7. Costs. The Company shall bear all expenses included in administering this Plan, including expenses of issuing Common Stock pursuant to any Options hereunder.

14.8. Controlling Law. The Plan shall be construed and enforced according to the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to rules governing the conflict of laws.

14.9. Section 16(b) of the Act. All elections and transactions under the Plan by persons subject to Section 16 of the Act involving shares of Common Stock are intended to comply with any applicable condition under Rule 16b-3. To the extent any provision of the Plan or action by the Committee fails to so comply, it shall be deemed null and void. The Committee may establish and adopt written administrative guidelines, designed to facilitate compliance with Section 16(b) of the Act, as it may deem necessary or proper for the administration and operation of the Plan and the transaction of business thereunder.

 
 

 

 
14.10 Repricing.  Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, upon approval of the stockholders of the Company (which approval was secured at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders on October 28, 2010), the Committee may provide for, and the Company may implement, a one-time-only option exchange offer, pursuant to which certain outstanding Options could, at the election of the Participant holding such Option, be tendered to the Company for cancellation in exchange for the issuance of new Options under the Plan or the issuance of new options or other equity awards under another equity plan maintained by the Company, including the issuance of new stock covering fewer shares with a lower exercise price.

15. Issuance of Stock Certificates, Legends, Payment of Expenses

15.1. Stock Certificates. Upon any exercise of an Option and payment of the exercise price as provided in such Option, a certificate or certificates for the Shares as to which such Option has been exercised shall be issued by the Company in the name of the person or persons exercising such Option and shall be delivered to or upon the order of such person or persons.

15.2. Legends. Certificates for Shares issued upon exercise of an Option shall bear such legend or legends as the Committee, in its sole discretion, determines to be necessary or appropriate to prevent a violation of, or to perfect an exemption from, the registration requirements of the Securities Act or to implement the provisions of any agreements between the Company and the Participant with respect to such Shares.

15.3. Payment of Expenses. The Company shall pay all issue or transfer taxes with respect to the issuance or transfer of Shares, as well as all fees and expenses necessarily incurred by the Company in connection with such issuance or transfer and with the administration of the Plan.

16. Listing of Shares and Related Matters

If at any time the Board or the Committee shall determine in its sole discretion that the listing, registration or qualification of the Shares covered by the Plan upon any national securities exchange or under any state or federal law, or the consent or approval of any governmental regulatory body, is necessary or desirable as a condition of, or in connection with, the grant of Options or the award or sale of Shares under the Plan, no Option grant shall be effective and no Shares will be delivered, as the case may be, unless and until such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval shall have been effected or obtained, or otherwise provided for, free of any conditions not acceptable to the Board.

17. Withholding Taxes

The Company shall have the right to require, prior to the issuance or delivery of any shares of Common Stock, payment by the Participant of any federal, state or local taxes required by law to be withheld.

Executed and dated as of the date first written above at Montgomeryville, Pennsylvania.
