PROXY STATEMENT

This statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies on behalf of the Board of Directors of Integral Vision, Inc. (the “Company”) for use at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders of the Company to be held on May 20, 2009 at 4:00 p.m., or any adjournments thereof.  Notice of this Proxy Statement is being mailed on or about April 7, 2009 to all holders of record of common stock of the Company as of the close of business on March 30, 2009.

PURPOSE OF THE MEETING

The purpose of this Annual Meeting of Shareholders shall be to elect Directors, to amend the Company’s articles of incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of the Company’s Common Stock from 70,000,000 to 90,000,000, to ratify the Amendment and Restatement of Integral Vision, Inc. 2008 Equity Incentive Plan, and to transact such other business as may properly come before the meeting.

VOTING

Common Stock with no par value and Series A Convertible Preferred Stock are the only voting stocks of the Company.  Only holders of record at the close of business on March 30, 2009 are entitled to vote.  In the case of Common Stock, holders are entitled to one (1) vote for each share held.  As of March 24, 2009, the Company had 30,750,409 common shares outstanding and no preferred shares outstanding.  Holders of stock entitled to vote at the meeting do not have cumulative voting rights with respect to the election of Directors.

All shares represented by proxies shall be voted "FOR" each of the matters recommended by management unless the Shareholder, or his duly authorized representative, specifies otherwise or unless the proxy is revoked.  Any Shareholder who executes the proxy referred to in this statement may revoke it before it is exercised, provided written notice of such revocation is received at the office of the Company in Wixom, Michigan at least twenty-four (24) hours before the commencement of the meeting, or provided the grantor of the proxy is present at the meeting and, having been recognized by the presiding officer, announces such revocation in open meeting.  All Shareholders are encouraged to date and sign the proxy form, indicate your choice with respect to the matters to be voted upon and return it to the Company.

Directors are elected by plurality vote, meaning that the five persons receiving the most votes at the meeting, assuming a quorum is present, are elected as directors of the Company. Most corporate governance actions other than elections of directors are approved by a majority of the votes cast.  Although state law and the articles of incorporation and bylaws of the Company are silent on the issue, it is the intent of the Company that proxies received which contain abstentions or broker non-votes as to any matter will be included in the calculations as to the presence of a quorum, but will not be counted as votes cast in such matter in the calculation as to the needed majority vote.

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

It is the intention of the persons named in the proxy to vote for election of the following nominees to the Board of Directors to hold office until the next Annual Meeting or until their successors are elected.  In the event any nominee should be unavailable, which is not anticipated, the shares may, in the discretion of the proxy holders, be voted for the election of such persons as the Board of Directors may submit.  Directors are elected for a term of one (1) year and until their successors are elected and qualified. Although the Company’s Board of Directors will be composed of five members, the bylaws of the Company allow for up to nine directors.  In the event qualified individuals are identified after the Annual Meeting of Shareholders, up to four additional directors could be appointed at such later date by the Board.

N/A
 
All of the foregoing Directors and nominees have been engaged in the principal occupation specified for the previous five years except Vincent Shunsky who was a Director, Treasurer and Vice President of Finance of Maxco until December 1, 2005 and has been affiliated with the Gannon Group, P.C., a Lansing, Michigan based business and real estate valuation firm, since January 2006.

Mr. Coon is also a Director of Maxco, Inc., the common stock of which is traded on the Pink Sheets over-the-counter (OTC) market.

During the year ended December 31, 2008, there were a total of four meetings of the Board of Directors.  Max A. Coon and Vincent Shunsky were present at fewer than 50% of the meetings held during the period.

The Board of Directors has established a Compensation Committee whose members are Max A. Coon and Vincent Shunsky.  The Compensation Committee is responsible for establishing compensation for the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, approving executive compensation levels of all other executives and authorizing the levels and timing of bonus payments.  In addition, this committee is responsible for administering the Company's Stock Compensation Plans and the new Equity Incentive Plan, including designating the recipients and terms of specific grants.   The Compensation Committee acted ten times during the year ended December 31, 2007 to establish compensation criteria and levels and to grant options.

Director Nominations

The Company does not have a standing nominating committee.  Because of the small size of the Company and the technical nature of the industry in which the Company operates, the board believes it is appropriate for the duties of identifying nominees for election to the Board of Directors to be performed by the full board, whose members are identified above.  No charter has been adopted for the nominating committee.  Because the common stock of the Company is traded on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board, the Company is not subject to the listing requirements of any securities exchange or the Nasdaq Stock Market regarding the independence of the members of the Board of Directors performing duties regarding the nomination of director candidates.  Nevertheless, Max Coon, William Wallace and Vincent Shunsky are independent as defined in the listing standards of the Nasdaq Stock Market.

The Board of Directors will consider director nominees recommended by shareholders. A shareholder who wishes to recommend a person or persons for consideration as a nominee for election to the Board of Directors must send a written notice by mail, c/o Investor Relations, Integral Vision, Inc., 49113 Wixom Tech Drive, Wixom, Michigan 48393, that sets forth: (1) the name, address (business and residence), date of birth and principal occupation or employment (present and for the past five years) of each person whom the shareholder proposes to be considered as a nominee; (2) the number of shares of the common stock of the Company beneficially owned (as defined by section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) by each such proposed nominee; (3) any other information regarding such proposed nominee that would be required to be disclosed in a definitive proxy statement to shareholders pursuant to section 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; and (4) the name and address (business and residence) of the shareholder making the recommendation  and the number of shares of the common stock of the Company beneficially owned (as defined by section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) by the shareholder making the recommendation.  The Company may require any proposed nominee to furnish additional information as may be reasonably required to determine the qualifications of such proposed nominee to serve as a director of the Company.  Shareholder recommendations will be considered only if received no less than 120 days before the date of the proxy statement sent to shareholders in connection with the previous year’s annual meeting of shareholders.

The Board of Directors will consider any nominee recommended by a shareholder in accordance with the preceding paragraph under the same criteria as any other potential nominee.  The Board of Directors believes that a nominee recommended for a position on the Company’s Board of Directors must have an appropriate mix of director characteristics, experience, diverse perspectives and skills.  For a new potential board member, the Board of Directors will in the first instance consider the independence of the potential member and the appropriate size of the board and then the qualifications of the proposed member.  Qualifications of a prospective nominee that may be considered by the Board of Directors include:

·  
Personal integrity and high ethical character;
·  
Professional excellence;
·  
Accountability and responsiveness;
·  
Absence of conflicts of interest;
·  
Fresh intellectual perspectives and ideas; and
·  
Relevant expertise and experience and the ability to offer advice and guidance to management based on that expertise and experience.

The Company did not receive, by December 26, 2008, any recommended nominee from any shareholder.

Audit Committee and Committee Report.

The Board of Directors has adopted a Charter to govern the operations of its Audit Committee.  A copy of this Charter was included as an exhibit to the Company's proxy statement for the year ended December 31, 2004. The Charter requires that the Audit Committee shall be comprised of at least two directors, each of whom is independent of management and the Company.  As stated above, because the common stock of the Company is traded on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board, the Company is not subject to the listing requirements of any securities exchange or the Nasdaq Stock Market regarding the independence of the members of the Audit Committee.  However, the Charter requires that each member of the Audit Committee be independent as defined in the listing standards of the Nasdaq Stock Market.

The Audit Committee oversees the Company’s financial reporting process on behalf of the Board of Directors.  Management has the primary responsibility for the financial statements and the reporting process including the systems of internal controls.  In fulfilling its oversight responsibilities, the committee reviewed the audited financial statements to be included in the Company’s Annual Report with management including a discussion of the quality, not just the acceptability, of the accounting principles, the reasonableness of significant judgments, and the clarity of disclosures in the financial statements.

The committee reviewed with the independent auditors, who are responsible for expressing an opinion on the conformity of those audited financial statements with generally accepted accounting principles, their judgments as to the quality, not just the acceptability, of the Company’s accounting principles and such other matters as are required to be discussed with the committee under generally accepted auditing standards.  Also, the committee has discussed with the independent auditors the matters required to be discussed by the statement on Auditing Standards No. 114, as amended (AICPA, Professional Standards, Vol. 1, AU section 380),1 as adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board in Rule 3200T.  In addition, the committee has discussed with the independent auditors the auditors’ independence from management and the Company including the matters described in the written disclosures and letter required to be furnished by the independent auditors in accordance with the standards established by the Independence Standards Board.

The committee discussed with the Company’s independent auditors the overall scope and plans for their audit.  The committee meets with the independent auditors, with and without management present, to discuss the results of the examinations, their evaluations of the Company’s internal controls, and the overall quality of the Company’s financial reporting.  The committee held four meetings during the year ended December 31, 2008.

In reliance on the reviews and discussions referred to above, the committee recommended to the Board of Directors (and the board has approved) that the audited financial statements be included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

For the year ended December 31, 2008, the Board of Directors appointed an Audit Committee whose members were William B. Wallace and Vincent Shunsky.  It is the opinion of the Board of Directors that the members of the Audit Committee are each independent under the above definition.  In addition, the Board of Directors has determined that both William B. Wallace and Vincent Shunsky meet the definition of a “financial expert” as defined in Item 401(h) of regulation S-K (17 CFR Section 299.401(h)).


Director Compensation

Mr. Wallace earns $200 per meeting and $800 per month for his responsibilities as the Audit Committee Chairperson.  Vincent Shunsky earns $200 per meeting and $600 per month.  None of our other directors receive any fees or other compensation for acting as directors.

Communications with the Board of Directors

Shareholders and other interested parties may communicate with the Board of Directors, including the independent directors, by sending written communication to the directors c/o the Chairman of the Board, 49113 Wixom Tech Drive, Wixom, Michigan 48393.  All such communications will be reviewed by the Chairman, or his designate, to determine which communications will be forwarded to the directors.  All communications will be forwarded except those that are related to Company products and services, are solicitations, or otherwise relate to improper or irrelevant topics, as determined in the sole discretion of the Chairman, or his designate.

The Chairman shall maintain and provide copies of all such communications received and determined to be forwarded to the Board of Directors in advance of each of its meetings.  In addition, the Chairman will indicate to the board the general nature of communications that were not determined to be forwarded and such communications will be held until each board meeting to be reviewed by any interested director.

The Company has a policy and practice of requiring all directors standing for election at an annual meeting of Shareholders to attend such meeting.  All but two of the Company’s directors attended the Company’s annual meeting of its Shareholders held on May 14, 2008.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the "Committee") consists of Max A. Coon and Vincent Shunsky.  Mr. Coon, although an officer of the Company, is also an officer and director of Maxco, Inc., is paid by Maxco, Inc. and receives no compensation from the Company.  Mr. Shunsky, although an officer of the Company, receives no compensation from the Company other than a director fee of $600 per month and $200 per meeting.  The Compensation Committee acted ten times during the year ended December 31, 2008 to establish compensation criteria and levels and to grant options.  The Compensation Committee does not have a charter.

Overview and Philosophy

The Committee is responsible for developing and making recommendations to the Board with respect to the Company's executive compensation policies.  In addition, the Compensation Committee, pursuant to authority delegated by the Board, determines on an annual basis the compensation to be paid to the Chief Executive Officer and each of the other executive officers of the Company.

The objectives of the Company's executive compensation program are to:

  - Support the achievement of desired Company performance.
  - Provide compensation that will attract and retain superior talent and reward performance.
 
-
Align the executive officers' interests with the success of the Company by placing a portion of pay at risk, with payout dependent upon corporate performance, and through the granting of equity incentives.

The executive compensation program provides an overall level of compensation opportunity that is competitive with companies of comparable size and complexity.  The Compensation Committee will use its discretion to set executive compensation where, in its judgment, external, internal or an individual's circumstances warrant it.

Compensation Committee Report

The Committee has reviewed and discussed the Compensation Discussion and Analysis required by Item 402(b) of Regulation S-K with the management of the Company.  Based on such review and discussion, the Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that such discussion and analysis be included herein.

Executive Officer Compensation Program

The Company's executive officer compensation program is composed of base salary, bonus, long-term incentive compensation in the form of equity, and various benefits, including medical and employee savings plans, generally available to employees of the Company.

Base Salary

Base salary levels for the Company's executive officers are competitively set relative to other comparable companies.  In determining salaries, the Committee also takes into account individual experience and performance.  Due to the Company’s circumstances, base salary levels for certain of the Company's executive officers were unchanged from the prior year.

Stock Option Program

The stock option program is the Company's long-term incentive plan for executive officers and key employees.  The objectives of the program are to align executive and shareholder long-term interests by creating a strong and direct link between executive pay and shareholder return, and to enable executives to develop and maintain a significant, long-term stock ownership position in the Company's common stock.

In May 2008, the 2008 Equity Incentive Plan (“Plan”) allowing the issuance of equity based incentives on up to 4,828,000 shares of the Company’s common stock was approved by shareholders.  The Plan is designed to promote the interests of the Company and its shareholders by providing a means by which the Company can grant equity-based incentives to eligible employees of the Company or any Subsidiary as well as non-employee directors, consultants, or advisors who are in a position to contribute materially to the Company’s success (“Participants”).  The Plan permits the Compensation Committee of the Company's Board of Directors to grant Incentive Stock Options, Non-Qualified Stock Options, Restricted Stock, and Shares.

 
8

 
 
In May 2004, a stock option plan allowing the issuance of options on up to 1,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock was approved by the Shareholders.  This stock option plan provides for the grant of both options intended to qualify as "incentive stock options" within the meaning of Section 422A of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, and non-statutory stock options which do not qualify for such treatment.

The stock option plan authorizes a committee of directors to award executive and key employee stock options, as well as options to directors and non-employees who are in a position to materially benefit the Company.  Stock options are granted at an option price equal to the fair market value of the Company's common stock on the date of grant, have ten-year terms and can have exercise restrictions established by the committee, provided that the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors is authorized to approve modifications to the option price and other terms of stock options at or subsequent to their issuance.

Stock option plans, each authorizing options on 500,000 shares of our common stock on substantially the same terms, were approved by our shareholders in 1999 and 1995.

Employee Savings Plan

Effective July 1, 1986, the Company adopted a 401(k) Employee Savings Plan.  The 401(k) is a “cash or deferred” plan under which employees may elect to contribute a certain portion of their compensation which they would otherwise be eligible to receive in cash.  The Company has agreed to make a matching contribution of 20% of the employees' contributions of up to 6% of their compensation.  In addition, the Company may make a profit sharing contribution at the discretion of the Board.  All full time employees of the Company who have completed six months of service are eligible to participate in the plan.  Participants are immediately 100% vested in all contributions.  The plan does not contain an established termination date and it is not anticipated that it will be terminated at any time in the foreseeable future.

Benefits

The Company provides medical benefits to the executive officers that are generally available to Company employees.  Additionally, executive officers may be provided with other benefits, such as life insurance and an automobile allowance. See the Summary Compensation Table below for further detail.

Chief Executive Officer

Charles J. Drake has served as the Company's Chief Executive Officer since 1978.  His base salary for the 2008 fiscal year was $160,000.  The bonus paid to Mr. Drake for 2008 was $60,000.  Due to the Company’s circumstances, Mr. Drake’s salary was unchanged from the prior year.

PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO THE ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION

The Company proposes to amend its Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of its no par value, non-cumulative, common stock from 70,000,000 to 90,000,000.  There are no preemptive rights to the Company’s common stock.  As of March 24, 2009, the Company had 30,750,409 common shares outstanding.

A primary reason for the proposal to amend the Articles of Incorporation to increase the authorized shares of common stock is to allow the company to raise additional equity funding for continuing operations and anticipated growth.  If the Company does so, existing security holders will own a smaller percentage of the Company.

PROPOSED AMENDMENT OF 2008 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN

 
The Company's Board of Directors adopted the Integral Vision Inc. 2008 Equity Incentive Plan (“Plan”), effective March 24, 2008, contingent on shareholder approval, which was obtained at the 2008 annual shareholders meeting.
 
 
The Plan is designed to promote the interests of the Company and its shareholders by providing a means by which the Company can grant equity-based incentives to eligible employees of the Company or any Subsidiary as well as non-employee directors, consultants, or advisors who are in a position to contribute materially to the Company's success ("Participants").  The Plan permits the Compensation Committee of the Company's Board of Directors ("Compensation Committee") to grant Incentive Stock Options, Non-Qualified Stock Options, Restricted Stock, and Shares.  A copy of the Plan was filed as Exhibit 10(5) to the Company's Form 10-KSB, filed March 31, 2008.
 
As originally approved, the Plan provided for up to the following number of Shares to be used for Awards:
 
(a)           4,828,000 shares, plus
 
(b)           Any Shares covered by an Award under the Plan or option under the Prior Plan that are forfeited or remain unpurchased or undistributed upon termination or expiration of the Award or option under the Prior Plan, plus
 
(c)           Any Shares exchanged by a Participant as full or partial payment to the Company of the Exercise Price of any Award under the Plan.
 
Of the Shares authorized for Awards, only 1,316,000 Shares remained available as of  March 24, 2009.  As a result, the Board, pursuant to the recommendation of the Compensation Committee, has adopted an amendment of the Plan, contingent on shareholder approval, which makes an additional 2,500,000 Shares available for Awards under the Plan.  The amendment also provides that, in addition to the 2,000,000 Shares available for Awards to the Company's Chief Executive Officer during the two-year period beginning March 12, 2008, another 1,500,000 Shares are available for Awards to the Company's Chief Executive Officer during the two-year period beginning March 24, 2009.

A copy of the Plan, as Amended and Restated to reflect the foregoing amendment, is set out in Exhibit 10(6) to this Proxy Statement.
 

RELATIONSHIP WITH INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

The firm of Rehmann Robson served the Company as its independent auditors for the year ended December 31, 2008.  A representative of Rehmann Robson is expected to be present at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders, will be available to respond to appropriate questions, and will have the opportunity to make a statement if he or she desires to do so.

During the years ended December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2008, Rehmann Robson billed the Company for its services as follows:

Audit Fees. For aggregate fees billed for professional services rendered for the audit of the Company’s annual financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2008 and the reviews of the financial statements included in the Company’s quarterly reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission during the years:

2007:
$58,477
2008:
$56,500

Tax Fees.  For aggregate fees billed for professional services rendered for the preparation of the Company’s annual  tax returns for the years ended December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2008:

2007:
$5,000
2008:
$3,000
 
Other Professional Services Fees.   For aggregate fees billed for professional fees with regard to proposed registration statement and specific tax consulting projects for the year ended December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2008:
 
2007:
$7,493
2008:
$11,000
 
The Audit Committee of the Company's Board of Directors is of the opinion that the provision of services described above was compatible with maintaining the independence of Rehmann Robson.  All services rendered to the Company by Rehmann Robson are permissible under applicable laws and regulations, and are pre-approved by the Audit Committee.  A statement of work and associated fees for audit and tax services is negotiated by the Audit Committee before work is begun.  Professional services outside of the statement of work are requested on an as needed basis.  These services are actively monitored (both spending level and work content) by the Audit Committee to maintain the appropriate objectivity and independence in Rehmann Robson’s core work, which is the audit of the Company’s financial statements.  The Company’s Board of Directors has accepted the recommendation of the Audit Committee that the Company retain the firm of Rehmann Robson to serve as the Company’s independent auditors for the year ended December 31, 2009.

Section 6.03. Additional Limitations Applicable to Incentive Stock Options.
 
(a)    General.  The limitations and conditions of this Section, in addition to the terms and conditions otherwise specified by the Plan and the Agreement, shall apply to all Incentive Stock Options.
 
(b)    Price.  The per Share Exercise Price under an Incentive Stock Option shall be not less than the Fair Market Value of a Share on the Grant Date.  In the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to an Employee who is a 10% shareholder, the per Share Exercise Price shall be not less than one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the Grant Date.
 
(c)    Exercise Period.  Unless terminated earlier pursuant to other terms and provisions of the Agreement or the Plan, the term of each Incentive Stock Option shall expire within the period prescribed in the Agreement relating thereto, which shall not be more than five years from the Grant Date, if the Participant is a 10% shareholder (as defined in Code Section 422(b)(6)), and not more than ten years from the Grant Date, if the Participant is not a 10% shareholder (as defined in Code Section 422(b)(6)).  An Option shall not be treated as an Incentive Stock Option if it is exercisable by the Participant more than (i) three months after his termination of employment (ii), if the Participant is disabled (within the meaning of Code Section 22(e)(3)), 12 months after his termination of employment.
 
(d)    Maximum Exercise Rule.  The aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the Grant Date) of the Shares with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by any Participant during any calendar year under this Plan and any other incentive stock option plan (within the meaning of Code Section 422) of the Company or any parent or subsidiary corporation of the Company shall not exceed $100,000.

(e)    Other Restrictions.  Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to employees of the Company (or a Subsidiary) that satisfy the other eligibility requirements of the Code.  There shall be imposed in any Agreement relating to Incentive Stock Options such other terms and conditions as from time to time are required for the Option be an "incentive stock option" within the meaning of Code Section 422.
 
Section 6.04. Termination of Options.
 
(a)    Each Option granted under the Plan shall set forth a termination date, which shall be not later than ten years from the Grant Date, subject to earlier termination as set forth in this Plan or the Agreement.
 
(b)    The Committee shall establish the effect of a Separation from Service on the rights and benefits under each Option and in so doing may make distinctions based upon, among other factors, the cause of Separation from Service.  Following Separation from Service, an Option may be exercised only in accordance with the applicable Agreement and, unless otherwise expressly provided by the Committee, only with respect to that number of Shares for which the Option could have been exercised by the Participant on the date of Severance from Service.
 
(c)    The Committee may cancel any unexpired Options at any time, if the Participant is not in compliance with all applicable provisions of the Plan or with any Agreement, or if the Participant, whether or not he is currently employed by an Employer, engages in any of the following activities without the prior written consent of the Employer:
 
(1) directly or indirectly renders services to or for an organization, or engages in a business, that is, in the judgment of the Committee, in competition with the Employer; or
 
(2) discloses to anyone outside of the Employer, or uses for any purpose other than the Employer's business, any confidential or proprietary information or material relating to the Employer, whether acquired by the Participant during or after employment with the Employer.
 
The Committee may, in its discretion and as a condition to the exercise of an Option, require a Participant to acknowledge in writing that he is in compliance with all applicable provisions of the Plan and of any Agreement and has not engaged in any activities referred to in clauses (1) and (2) above.
 
(d)    Subject to Section 6.06, (i) upon the dissolution, liquidation, or sale of all or substantially all of the business, properties, and assets of the Company, (ii) upon any reorganization, merger, consolidation, sale, or exchange of securities in which the Company does not survive, (iii) upon any sale, reorganization, merger, consolidation, or exchange of securities in which the Company does survive and any of the Company's shareholders have the opportunity to receive cash, securities of another corporation, partnership, or limited liability company and/or other property in exchange for their capital stock of the Company, or (iv) upon any acquisition by any person or group (as defined in Section 13d of the Exchange Act) of beneficial ownership of more than 50% of the then outstanding Shares (each of the events described in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) is referred to herein as an "Extraordinary Event"), the Plan and each outstanding Option shall terminate, subject to any provision that has been made by the Committee through a plan of reorganization or otherwise for the substitution, assumption, settlement, or other continuation of the Options.  If Options are to terminate (with no substitution, assumption, settlement, or other continuation) in such circumstances, each Participant shall have the right, by giving notice at least ten days before the effective date of the Extraordinary Event ("Effective Date"), to exercise on or before the Effective Date, in whole or in part, any unexpired Option issued to the Participant, to the extent that the Option is vested and exercisable as of the Effective Date.

Section 6.05. Rights as a Shareholder. Unless otherwise provided by the Board or the Committee, a Participant shall have rights as a shareholder with respect to Shares covered by an Option, including voting rights or rights to dividends, only upon the date of issuance of a certificate to him and, if payment is required, only after payment if full has been made for such Shares.
 
Section 6.06. Acceleration of Options.
 
(a)    Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this Article or any provision to the contrary contained in a particular Agreement, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may accelerate the vesting and exercisability of all or any portion of any Option then outstanding.  The decision by the Committee to accelerate an Option or to decline to accelerate an Option shall be final.  In the event of the acceleration of the exercisability of Option as the result of a decision by the Committee pursuant to this Section, each outstanding Option so accelerated shall be exercisable for a period from and after the date of such acceleration and upon such other terms and conditions as the Committee may determine in its sole discretion, provided that such terms and conditions (other than terms and conditions relating solely to the acceleration of exercisability and the related termination of an Option) may not materially adversely affect the rights of any Participant without the consent of that Participant.  Any outstanding Option that has not been exercised by the holder at the end of such period shall terminate automatically at that time.
 
(b)    If the vesting of an Option has been accelerated in anticipation of an event, and the Committee or the Board later determines that the event will not occur, the Committee may rescind the effect of the acceleration as to any then outstanding and unexercised or otherwise unvested Options.
 
Section 6.07. Substitute Options.  If the Company at any time should succeed to the business of another entity through a merger, consolidation, corporate reorganization or exchange, or through the acquisition of stock or assets of such entity or its subsidiaries or otherwise, the Committee may grant Options under the Plan to option holders of such entity or its subsidiaries, in substitution for options to purchase shares in such entity held by them at the time of succession.  The Committee, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall determine the extent to which such substitute Options shall be granted (if at all), the person or persons to receive such substitute Options (who need not be all option holders of such entity), the number of Options to be received by each such person, the exercise price of such Option, and the other terms and conditions of such substitute Options.
