Item 4. Description of Securities

     The class of securities to be offered under this Registration Statement is registered under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act.

Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel

     Not Applicable.

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

     Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”) provides that a corporation has the power to indemnify a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation and certain other persons serving at the request of the corporation in related capacities against amounts paid and expenses incurred in connection with an action or proceeding to which he is or is threatened to be made a party by reason of such position, if such person shall have acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, in any criminal proceeding, if such person had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful; provided that, in the case of actions brought by or in the right of the corporation, no indemnification shall be made with respect to any matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the adjudicating court determines that such indemnification is proper under the circumstances.

     Article Seventh (f) of the Registrant’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate”) provides that to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, a director of the corporation shall not be personally liable to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director.

     ARTICLE V, Section 1 of the Registrant’s Restated Bylaws (the “Restated Bylaws”) provides that the corporation shall indemnify to the full extent permitted by, and in the manner permissible under, the laws of the State of Delaware any person made, or threatened to be made, a party to an action or proceeding, whether criminal, civil, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that such person or such person’s testator or intestate is or was a director or officer of the corporation or any predecessor of the corporation, or served any other enterprise as a director or officer at the request of the corporation or any predecessor of the corporation. The rights of indemnification under the Restated Bylaws are not exclusive of any other rights to which any director or officer of the corporation may be entitled apart from the provisions of Article V.

     The Registrant has entered into indemnification agreements with each of its directors and executive officers, and intends to enter into indemnification agreements with any new directors and executive officers in the future. These agreements may require the Registrant, among other things, to indemnify such directors and officers against certain liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service and to advance their expenses incurred as a result of any proceeding against them as to which they could be indemnified.

     The general effect of the foregoing provisions may be to reduce the circumstances in which an officer or director of the Registrant may be required to bear the economic burden of the foregoing liabilities and expenses.

     In addition to the indemnification provided for in the Registrant’s Certificate and Restated Bylaws, the Registrant has purchased directors’ and officers’ liability insurance which would insure the Registrant’s directors and officers against certain liabilities which might be incurred in connection with the performance of their duties.

(a)   The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

(1)   To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such information in the Registration Statement;
 
(2)   That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such 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;
 
(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.

(b)   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 that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new

 


Table of Contents

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.

(c)   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 Securities and Exchange 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 will, 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.

[FIDELITY NATIONAL FINANCIAL, INC. LETTERHEAD]

November 23, 2004

Fidelity National Financial, Inc.
601 Riverside Avenue
Jacksonville, Florida 32204

Ladies and Gentlemen:

As counsel to Fidelity National Financial, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), I participated in the preparation of the Form S-8 Registration Statement (the “Registration Statement”) to be filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Registration Statement relates to the Company’s issuance of up to 1,708,155 shares of its common stock, par value $.0001 per share (the “Shares”) pursuant to the following stock option plans assumed by the Company pursuant to the Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger dated September 8, 2004 among the Company, Fidelity National Information Services, Inc., Fuscia Merger Sub, Inc. and InterCept, Inc.: (i) the Provesa, Inc. 1994 Stock Option Plan (8,487 shares); (ii) the InterCept Group, Inc. Amended and Restated 1996 Stock Option Plan (1,239,805 shares); (iii) the InterCept, Inc. 2002 Stock Option Plan (384,283 shares); and (iv) the InterCept, Inc. G. Lynn Boggs 2002 Stock Option Plan (75,580 shares) (collectively, the “Stock Option Plans”). The Shares are issuable upon the exercise of options outstanding under the Stock Option Plans.

I have examined the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws, each as amended to date, and such corporate records and other documents and certificates of the Company as I have considered appropriate for the purposes of this opinion. In making my examination and in rendering my opinion set forth herein, I have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to me as originals, the conformity to originals of all documents submitted to me as certified, photostatic or conformed copies and the authenticity of the originals of such copies. In making my examination of documents executed by parties other than the Company, I have assumed that such parties had the power, corporate or other, to enter into and perform all obligations thereunder and have also assumed the due authorization by all requisite action, corporate or other, and execution and delivery of such documents by such parties of such documents and the validity and binding effect thereof on such parties. As to any facts material to the opinion expressed herein which I have not independently established or verified, I have relied upon statements and representations of officers and other representatives of the Company and others.

I have also assumed that each option agreement setting forth the terms of each option granted under the Stock Option Plans is consistent with the Stock Option Plan under which it was granted and was duly authorized and validly executed and delivered by the parties thereto, and that the consideration received by the Company for the Shares delivered upon the exercise of each such option will be in an amount at least equal to the par value of the Shares. I do not express any opinion as to the laws of any jurisdiction other than the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

Based upon and subject to the foregoing, it is my opinion that the Shares have been duly authorized for issuance and, when issued and paid for upon the exercise of an option duly granted under the Stock Option Plans in accordance with the provisions of the applicable Stock Option Plan and the applicable option agreement, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

I hereby consent to the use of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement. In giving such consent, I do not thereby admit that I am acting within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act or the rules or regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder.

Very truly yours,

FIDELITY NATIONAL FINANCIAL, INC.

In administering the Plan, the Committee's actions and determinations shall be binding on all interested parties. The Committee shall have the power to grant Options or Awards in accordance with the provisions of the Plan and may grant Options and Awards singly, in combination, or in tandem.

The Committee shall also have the discretion and authority to delegate to any Officer its powers to grant Options or Awards under the Plan to any person who is an employee of the Company but not an Officer or Director. To the extent not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan, the Committee may give a Grantee an election to surrender an Option or Award in exchange for the grant of a new Option or Award, and shall have the authority to amend or modify an outstanding Option Agreement or Restriction Agreement, or to waive any provision thereof, provided that the Grantee consents to such action. 4.2. Interpretation; Rules. Subject to the express provisions of the Plan, the Committee also shall have complete authority to interpret the Plan, to prescribe, amend, and rescind rules and regulations relating to it, to determine the details and provisions of each Stock Option Agreement, and to make all other determinations necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan, including, without limitation, the amending or altering of the Plan and any Options or Awards granted hereunder as may be required to comply with or to conform to any federal, state, or local laws or regulations. 4.3.

The Company shall supply full and timely information to the Committee on all matters relating to eligible persons, their employment, death, retirement, disability, or other termination of employment, and such other pertinent facts as the Committee may require. The Company shall furnish the Committee with such clerical and other assistance as is necessary in the performance of its duties. ARTICLE V. SHARES OF STOCK SUBJECT TO PLAN 5.1. Limitations. Subject to any antidilution adjustment pursuant to the provisions of Section 5.2 hereof, the maximum number of shares of Stock that may be issued hereunder shall be 8,487. Any or all shares of Stock subject to the Plan may be issued in any combination of Incentive Stock Options, non-Incentive Stock Options, or Restricted Stock. Subject to any antidilution adjustment pursuant to the provisions of Section 5.2 hereof, the total number of shares of Stock issuable pursuant to Incentive Stock Options may not be more than 8,487. Shares subject to an Option or issued as an Award may be either authorized and unissued shares or shares issued and later acquired by the Company. The shares covered by any unexercised portion of an Option that has terminated for any reason (except as set forth in the following paragraph), or any forfeited portion of an Award, may not again be optioned or awarded under the Plan, and such shares shall be 5 considered as having been optioned or issued in computing the number of shares of Stock remaining available for option or award hereunder. 5.2. Antidilution. (a) In the event that the outstanding shares of Stock are changed into or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or other securities of the Company by reason of merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination or exchange of shares, stock split or stock dividend, in the event that any spin-off, spin-out or other distribution of assets materially affects the price of the Company's stock, or in the event of any assumption and conversion to the Plan by the Company of an acquired company's outstanding option grants: (i) The aggregate number and kind of shares of Stock for which Options or Awards may be granted hereunder shall be adjusted proportionately by the Committee; and (ii) The rights of Optionees (concerning the number of shares subject to Options and the Exercise Price) under outstanding Options and the rights of the holders of Awards (concerning the terms and conditions of the lapse of any then-remaining restrictions), shall be adjusted proportionately by the Committee. (b) If the Company shall be a party to any reorganization in which it does not survive, involving merger, consolidation, or acquisition of the stock or substantially all the assets of the Company, the Committee, in its discretion, may: (i) notwithstanding other provisions hereof, declare that all Options granted under the Plan shall become exercisable immediately notwithstanding the provisions of the respective Option Agreements regarding exercisability, that all such Options shall terminate 30 days after the Committee gives written notice of the immediate right to exercise all such Options and of the decision to terminate all Options not exercised within such 30-day period, and that all then-remaining restrictions pertaining to Awards under the Plan shall immediately lapse; and/or (ii) notify all Grantees that all Options or Awards granted under the Plan shall be assumed by the successor corporation or substituted on an equitable basis with options or restricted stock issued by such successor corporation. (c) If the Company is to be liquidated or dissolved in connection with a reorganization described in Section 5.2, the provisions of such section shall apply. In all other instances, the adoption of a plan of dissolution or liquidation of the Company shall, notwithstanding other provisions hereof, cause all then-remaining restrictions pertaining to Awards under the Plan to lapse, and shall cause every Option outstanding under the Plan to terminate to the extent not exercised prior to the adoption of the plan of dissolution or liquidation by the shareholders, provided that, notwithstanding other provisions hereof, the Committee may declare all Options granted under the Plan to be exercisable at any time on or before the fifth business day following such adoption notwithstanding the provisions of the respective Option Agreements regarding exercisability. 6 (d) The adjustments described in paragraphs (a) through (c) of this section, and the manner of their application, shall be determined solely by the Committee, and any such adjustment may provide for the elimination of fractional share interests; provided, however, that any adjustment made by the Board or the Committee shall be made in a manner that will not cause an Incentive Stock Option to be other than an incentive stock option under applicable statutory and regulatory provisions. The adjustments required under this Article shall apply to any successors of the Company and shall be made regardless of the number or type of successive events requiring such adjustments. ARTICLE VI. OPTIONS 6.1. Types of Options Granted. The Committee may, under this Plan, grant either Incentive Stock Options or Options which do not qualify as Incentive Stock Options. Within the limitations provided in this Plan, both types of Options may be granted to the same person at the same time, or at different times, under different terms and conditions, as long as the terms and conditions of each Option are consistent with the provisions of the Plan. Without limitation of the foregoing, Options may be granted subject to conditions based on the financial performance of the Company or any other factor the Committee deems relevant. 6.2. Option Grant and Agreement. Each Option granted hereunder shall be evidenced by minutes of a meeting or the written consent of the Committee and by a written Stock Option Agreement executed by the Company and the Optionee. The terms of the Option, including the Option's duration, time or times of exercise, exercise price, whether the Option is intended to be an Incentive Stock Option, and whether the Option is to be accompanied by the right to receive a Reload Option, shall be stated in the Option Agreement. No Incentive Stock Option may be granted more than ten years after the earlier to occur of the effective date of the Plan or the date the Plan is approved by the Company's shareholders. Separate Option Agreements may be used for Options intended to be Incentive Stock Options and those not so intended, but any failure to use such separate agreements shall not invalidate, or otherwise adversely affect the Optionee's interest in, the Options evidenced thereby. 6.3. Optionee Limitations. The Committee shall not grant an Incentive Stock Option to any person who, at the time the Incentive Stock Option is granted: (a) is not an employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; or (b) owns or is considered to own stock possessing at least 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any of its Parent or Subsidiary corporations; provided, however, that this limitation shall not apply if at the time an Incentive Stock Option is granted the Exercise Price is at least 110% of the Fair Market Value of the Stock subject to such Option and such Option by its terms would not be exercisable after five years from the date on which the Option is granted. For the purpose of this subsection (b), a person shall be considered to own (i) the stock owned, directly or indirectly, by or for his or her brothers and sisters (whether by whole or half blood), spouse, ancestors and lineal descendants; (ii) the stock owned, directly or indirectly, by or for a corporation, partnership, estate, or trust in proportion to such person's stock 7 interest, partnership interest or beneficial interest therein; and (iii) the stock which such person may purchase under any outstanding options of the Employer or of any Parent or Subsidiary of the Employer. 6.4. $100,000 Limitation. Except as provided below, the Committee shall not grant an Incentive Stock Option to, or modify the exercise provisions of outstanding Incentive Stock Options held by, any person who, at the time the Incentive Stock Option is granted (or modified), would thereby receive or hold any Incentive Stock Options of the Employer and any Parent or Subsidiary of the Employer such that the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the respective dates of grant or modification of each option) of the stock with respect to which such Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time during any calendar year is in excess of $100,000 (or such other limit as may be prescribed by the Code from time to time); provided that the foregoing restriction on modification of outstanding Incentive Stock Options shall not preclude the Committee from modifying an outstanding Incentive Stock Option if, as a result of such modification and with the consent of the Optionee, such Option no longer constitutes an Incentive Stock Option; and provided that, if the $100,000 limitation (or such other limitation prescribed by the Code) described in this Section is exceeded, the Incentive Stock Option the granting or modification of which resulted in the exceeding of such limit shall be treated as an Incentive Stock Option up to the limitation and the excess shall be treated as an Option not qualifying as an Incentive Stock Option. 6.5. Exercise Price. The Exercise Price of the Stock subject to each Option shall be determined by the Committee. Subject to the provisions of Section 63 hereof, the Exercise Price of an Incentive Stock Option shall not be less than the Fair Market Value of the Stock as of the date the Option is granted (or in the case of an Incentive Stock Option that is subsequently modified, on the date of such modification). The Exercise Price of a non-Incentive Stock Option shall not be less than the Fair Market Value of the Stock on the date that the Option is granted. 6.6. Exercise Period. The period for the exercise of each Option granted hereunder shall be determined by the Committee, but the Option Agreement with respect to each Option intended to be an Incentive Stock Option shall provide that such Option shall not be exercisable after the expiration of ten years from the date of grant (or modification) of the Option. In addition, no Option granted to a Section 16 Insider shall be exercisable prior to the expiration of six months from the date such Option is granted, other than in the case of the death or disability of the Optionee, and no Option shall be exercisable prior to shareholder approval of the Plan. 6.7. Option Exercise. (a) Unless otherwise provided in the Stock Option Agreement or Section 66 hereof, an Option may be exercised at any time or from time to time during the term of the Option as to any or all full shares which have become Purchasable under the provisions of the Option, but not at any time as to less than 100 shares unless the remaining shares that have become so Purchasable are less than 100 shares. The Committee shall have the authority to prescribe in any Stock Option Agreement that the Option may be exercised only in accordance with a vesting schedule during the term of the Option. (b) An Option shall be exercised by (i) delivery to the Company at its principal office a written notice of exercise with respect to a specified number of shares of Stock and (ii) 8 payment to the Company at that office of the full amount of the Exercise Price for such number of shares in accordance with Section 67. (c) The Exercise Price is to be paid in full in cash upon the exercise of the Option and the Company shall not be required to deliver certificates for the shares purchased until such payment has been made; provided, however, that in lieu of cash, all or any portion of the Exercise Price may be paid by tendering to the Company shares of Stock duly endorsed for transfer and owned by the Optionee, or by authorization to the Company to withhold shares of Stock otherwise issuable upon exercise of the Option, in each case to be credited against the Exercise Price at the Fair Market Value of such shares on the date of exercise (however, no fractional shares may be so transferred, and the Company shall not be obligated to make any cash payments in consideration of any excess of the aggregate Fair Market Value of shares transferred over the aggregate option price); provided further, that the Board may provide in a Stock Option Agreement or may otherwise determine in its sole discretion at the time of exercise that, in lieu of cash or shares, all or a portion of the Exercise Price may be paid by the Optionee's execution of a recourse note equal to the Exercise Price or relevant portion thereof, subject to compliance with applicable state and federal laws, rules and regulations. (d) In addition to and at the time of payment of the Exercise Price, the Optionee shall pay to the Company in cash the full amount of any federal, state, and local income, employment, or other withholding taxes applicable to the taxable income of such Optionee resulting from such exercise; provided, however, that in the discretion of the Committee any Option Agreement may provide that all or any portion of such tax obligations, together with additional taxes not exceeding the actual additional taxes to be owed by the Optionee as a result of such exercise, may, upon the irrevocable election of the Optionee, be paid by tendering to the Company whole shares of Stock duly endorsed for transfer and owned by the Optionee, or by authorization to the Company to withhold shares of Stock otherwise issuable upon exercise of the Option, in either case in that number of shares having a Fair Market Value on the date of exercise equal to the amount of such taxes thereby being paid, and subject to such restrictions as to the approval and timing of any such election as the Committee may from time to time determine to be necessary or appropriate to satisfy the conditions of the exemption set forth in Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act, if such rule is applicable. (e) The holder of an Option shall not have any of the rights of a shareholder with respect to the shares of Stock subject to the Option until such shares have been issued and transferred to the Optionee upon the exercise of the Option. 6.8. Reload Options. (a) The Committee may specify in a Stock Option Agreement (or may otherwise determine in its sole discretion) that a Reload Option shall be granted, without further action of the Committee, (i) to an Optionee who exercises an Option (including a Reload Option) by surrendering shares of Stock in payment of amounts specified in Sections 67 or 67 hereof, (ii) for the same number of shares as are surrendered to pay such amounts, (iii) as of the date of such payment and at an Exercise Price equal to the Fair Market Value of the Stock on such date, and (iv) otherwise on the same terms and conditions as the Option whose exercise has occasioned such payment, except as provided below and subject to such other contingencies, conditions, or other terms as the 9 Committee shall specify at the time such exercised Option is granted; provided that the shares surrendered by a Section 16 Insider in payment as provided above must have been held by the Optionee for at least six months prior to such surrender. (b) Unless provided otherwise in the Stock Option Agreement, a Reload Option may not be exercised by an Optionee (i) prior to the end of a one-year period from the date that the Reload Option is granted, and (ii) unless the Optionee retains beneficial ownership of the shares of Stock issued to such Optionee upon exercise of the Option referred to above in Section 68 for a period of one year from the date of such exercise. 6.9. Nontransferability of Option. (a) No Incentive Stock Option shall be transferable by an Optionee other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and no Option shall be transferable by an Optionee who is a Section 16 Insider prior to shareholder approval of the Plan or, after such approval, other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to a Qualified Domestic Relations Order. During the lifetime of an Optionee, Incentive Stock Options shall be exercisable only by such Optionee (or by such Optionee's guardian or legal representative, should one be appointed). (b) Except as provided above and unless provided otherwise in the Stock Option Agreement, Optionees and Permitted Transferees of Optionees may transfer Options to any person, including a broker-dealer, but the Option shall not be transferable by any person other than an Optionee or Permitted Transferee except by will or the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to a Qualified Domestic Relations Order. Except as provided above and unless provided otherwise in the Stock Option Agreement, Options shall be exercisable by any person to whom such Option has been validly transferred. 6.10. Termination of Employment or Service. The Committee shall have the power to specify, with respect to the Options granted to a particular Optionee, the effect upon such Optionee's right to exercise an Option of termination of such Optionee's employment or service under various circumstances, which effect may include immediate or deferred termination of such Optionee's rights under an Option, or acceleration of the date at which an Option may be exercised in full; provided, however, that in no event may an Incentive Stock Option be exercised after the expiration of ten years from the date of grant thereof. 6.11. Employment Rights. Nothing in the Plan or in any Stock Option Agreement shall confer on any person any right to continue in the employ of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or shall interfere in any way with the right of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to terminate such person's employment at any time. 6.12. Certain Successor Options. To the extent not inconsistent with the terms, limitations and conditions of Code section 422 and any regulations promulgated with respect thereto, an Option issued in respect of an option held by an employee to acquire stock of any entity acquired, by merger or otherwise, by the Company (or any Subsidiary of the Company) may contain terms that differ from those stated in this Article, but solely to the extent necessary to preserve for any such employee the rights and benefits contained in such predecessor option, or to satisfy the requirements of Code section 424(a). 10 6.13. Effect of Change in Control. The Committee may determine, at the time of granting an Option or thereafter, that such Option shall become exercisable on an accelerated basis in the event that a Change in Control occurs with respect to the Company. If the Committee finds that there is a reasonable possibility that, within the succeeding six months, a Change in Control will occur with respect to the Company, then the Committee may determine that all outstanding Options shall be exercisable on an accelerated basis. ARTICLE VII. RESTRICTED STOCK 7.1. Awards of Restricted Stock. The Committee may grant Awards of Restricted Stock, which shall be governed by a Restriction Agreement between the Company and the Grantee. Each Restriction Agreement shall contain such restrictions, terms, and conditions as the Committee may, in its discretion, determine, and may require that an appropriate legend be placed on the certificates evidencing the subject Restricted Stock. Shares of Restricted Stock granted pursuant to an Award hereunder shall be issued in the name of the Grantee as soon as reasonably practicable after the Award is granted, provided that the Grantee has executed the Restriction Agreement governing the Award, the appropriate blank stock powers and, in the discretion of the Committee, an escrow agreement and any other documents which the Committee may require as a condition to the issuance of such Shares. If a Grantee shall fail to execute the foregoing documents within any time period prescribed by the Committee, the Award shall be void. At the discretion of the Committee, Shares issued in connection with an Award shall be deposited together with the stock powers with an escrow agent designated by the Committee. Unless the Committee determines otherwise and as set forth in the Restriction Agreement, upon delivery of the Shares to the escrow agent, the Grantee shall have all of the rights of a shareholder with respect to such Shares, including the right to vote the Shares and to receive all dividends or other distributions paid or made with respect to the Shares. 7.2. Non-Transferability. Until any restrictions upon Restricted Stock awarded to a Grantee shall have lapsed in a manner set forth in Section 73, such shares of Restricted Stock shall not be transferable other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, or pursuant to a Qualified Domestic Relations Order, nor shall they be delivered to the Grantee. 7.3. Lapse of Restrictions. Restrictions upon Restricted Stock awarded hereunder shall lapse at such time or times (but, with respect to any award to a Grantee who is also a Section 16 Insider, not less than six months after the date of the Award) and on such terms and conditions as the Committee may, in its discretion, determine at the time the Award is granted or thereafter. 7.4. Termination of Employment. The Committee shall have the power to specify, with respect to each Award granted to any particular Grantee, the effect upon such Grantee's rights with respect to such Restricted Stock of the termination of such Grantee's employment under various circumstances, which effect may include immediate or deferred forfeiture of such Restricted Stock or acceleration of the date at which any then-remaining restrictions shall lapse. 7.5. Treatment of Dividends. At the time an Award of Restricted Stock is made the Committee may, in its discretion, determine that the payment to the Grantee of any dividends, or a 11 specified portion thereof, declared or paid on such Restricted Stock shall be (i) deferred until the lapsing of the relevant restrictions and (ii) held by the Company for the account of the Grantee until such lapsing. In the event of such deferral, there shall be credited at the end of each year (or portion thereof) interest on the amount of the account at the beginning of the year at a rate per annum determined by the Committee. Payment of deferred dividends, together with interest thereon, shall be made upon the lapsing of restrictions imposed on such Restricted Stock, and any dividends deferred (together with any interest thereon) in respect of Restricted Stock shall be forfeited upon any forfeiture of such Restricted Stock. 7.6. Delivery of Shares. Except as provided otherwise in Article below, within a reasonable period of time following the lapse of the restrictions on shares of Restricted Stock, the Committee shall cause a stock certificate to be delivered to the Grantee with respect to such shares and such shares shall be free of all restrictions hereunder. ARTICLE VIII. STOCK CERTIFICATES The Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any certificate for shares of Stock purchased upon the exercise of any Option granted hereunder or any portion thereof, or deliver any certificate for shares of Restricted Stock granted hereunder, prior to fulfillment of all of the following conditions: (a) The admission of such shares to listing on all stock exchanges on which the Stock is then listed; (b) The completion of any registration or other qualification of such shares which the Committee shall deem necessary or advisable under any federal or state law or under the rulings or regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission or any other governmental regulatory body; (c) The obtaining of any approval or other clearance from any federal or state governmental agency or body which the Committee shall determine to be necessary or advisable; and (d) The lapse of such reasonable period of time following the exercise of the Option as the Board from time to time may establish for reasons of administrative convenience. Stock certificates issued and delivered to Grantees shall bear such restrictive legends as the Company shall deem necessary or advisable pursuant to applicable federal and state securities laws. ARTICLE IX. TERMINATION AND AMENDMENT OF PLAN The Board may at any time terminate the Plan, and may at any time and from time to time and in any respect amend the Plan; provided, however, that the Board (unless its actions are approved or 12 ratified by the shareholders of the Company within twelve months of the date that the Board amends the Plan) may not amend the Plan to: (a) Increase the total number of shares of Stock issuable pursuant to Incentive Stock Options under the Plan or materially increase the number of shares of Stock subject to the Plan, in each case except as contemplated in Section 52 hereof; (b) Change the class of employees eligible to receive Incentive Stock Options that may participate in the Plan or materially change the class of persons that may participate in the Plan; or (c) Otherwise materially increase the benefits accruing to participants under the Plan.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Options or Awards may be granted under the Plan after November 8, 2004, and the Plan shall automatically terminate without the requirement of action by the Board once there are no outstanding Options or Awards. ARTICLE X. RELATIONSHIP TO OTHER COMPENSATION PLANS The adoption of the Plan shall not affect any other stock option, incentive, or other compensation plans in effect for the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; nor shall the adoption of the Plan preclude the Company or any of its Subsidiaries from establishing any other form of incentive or other compensation plan for employees or Directors of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. ARTICLE XI. MISCELLANEOUS 11.1. Replacement or Amended Grants. At the sole discretion of the Committee, and subject to the terms of the Plan, the Committee may modify outstanding Options or Awards or accept the surrender of outstanding Options or Awards and grant new Options or Awards in substitution for them. However no modification of an Option or Award shall adversely affect a Grantee's rights under an Option Agreement or Restriction Agreement without the consent of the Grantee or his legal representative. 11.2. Forfeiture for Competition. If a Grantee provides services to a competitor of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, whether as an employee, officer, director, independent contractor, consultant, agent, or otherwise, such services being of a nature that can reasonably be expected to involve the skills and experience used or developed by the Grantee while an Employee, then that Grantee's rights under any Options outstanding hereunder shall be forfeited and terminated, and any shares of Restricted Stock held by such Grantee subject to remaining 13 restrictions shall be forfeited, subject in each case to a determination to the contrary by the Committee. 11.3. Plan Binding on Successors. The Plan shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of the Company. 11.4. Singular, Plural; Gender. Whenever used herein, nouns in the singular shall include the plural, and the masculine pronoun shall include the feminine gender. 11.5. Headings, etc.,.

The Committee shall also have the discretion and authority to delegate to any Officer its powers to grant Options or Awards under the Plan to any person who is an employee of the Company but not an Officer or Director. To the extent not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan, the Committee may give a Grantee an election to surrender an Option or Award in exchange for the grant of a new Option or Award, and shall have the authority to amend or modify an outstanding Stock Option Agreement or Restriction Agreement, or to waive any provision thereof, provided that the Grantee consents to such action. 4.2. Interpretation; Rules. Subject to the express provisions of the Plan, the Committee also shall have complete authority to interpret the Plan, to prescribe, amend, and rescind rules and regulations relating to it, to determine the details and provisions of each Stock Option Agreement, and to make all other determinations necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan, including, without limitation, the amending or altering of the Plan and any Options or Awards granted hereunder as may be required to comply with or to conform to any federal, state, or local laws or regulations. 4.3.

Subject to any antidilution adjustment pursuant to the provisions of Section 5.2 hereof, the maximum number of shares of Stock that may be issued hereunder shall be 1,239,806, and not more than 150,000 shares of Stock may be made subject to Options to any individual in the aggregate in any one fiscal year of the Company, such limitation to be applied in a manner consistent with the requirements of, and only to the extent required for compliance with, the exclusion from the limitation on deductibility of compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code. Except in connection with an adjustment made pursuant to Section 5.2, there will no increases to the number of shares of Stock that may be issued under the Plan. Any or all shares of Stock subject to the Plan may be issued in any combination of Incentive Stock Options, non-Incentive Stock Options, Restricted Stock, or SARs. Subject to adjustment under Section 5.2 below, the total number of shares of Stock issuable pursuant to Incentive Stock Options may not be more than 1,239,806. Shares subject to an Option or issued as an Award may be either authorized and unissued shares or shares issued and later acquired by the Company. The shares covered by any unexercised portion of an Option or Award that has terminated for any reason or any forfeited portion of an Option or Award, and shares tendered for cashless exercise and withheld for taxes may not again be optioned or awarded under the Plan. 5.2. Antidilution. (a) If (1) the outstanding shares of Stock are changed into or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or other securities of the Company by reason of merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination or exchange of shares, or stock split or stock dividend, (2) any spin-off, spin-out or other distribution of assets materially affects the price of the Company's stock, or (3) there is any assumption and conversion to the Plan by the Company of an acquired company's outstanding option grants, then: (i) the aggregate number and kind of shares of Stock for which Options or Awards may be granted hereunder shall be adjusted proportionately by the Committee; and (ii) the rights of Optionees (concerning the number of shares subject to Options and the Exercise Price) under outstanding Options and the rights of the holders of Awards (concerning the terms and conditions of the lapse of any then-remaining restrictions), shall be adjusted proportionately by the Committee. 6 (b) In the event of an anticipated Change in Control or the Company shall be a party to any reorganization, involving merger, consolidation, or acquisition of the stock or substantially all the assets of the Company, the Board or the Committee, in its discretion, may: (i) notwithstanding other provisions hereof, declare that all Options granted under the Plan shall become exercisable immediately notwithstanding the provisions of the respective Stock Option Agreements regarding exercisability, that all such Options shall terminate 90 days after the Committee gives written notice of the immediate right to exercise all such Options and of the decision to terminate all Options not exercised within such 90-day period, and that all then-remaining restrictions pertaining to Awards under the Plan shall immediately lapse; and/or (ii) notify all Grantees that all Options or Awards granted under the Plan shall be assumed by the successor corporation or substituted on an equitable basis with options or restricted stock issued by such successor corporation. (c) If the Company is to be liquidated or dissolved in connection with a reorganization described in Section 5.2(b), the provisions of such Section shall apply. In all other instances, the adoption of a plan of dissolution or liquidation of the Company shall, notwithstanding other provisions hereof, cause all then remaining restrictions pertaining to Awards under the Plan to lapse, and shall cause every Option outstanding under the Plan to terminate to the extent not exercised prior to the adoption of the plan of dissolution or liquidation by the shareholders, provided that, notwithstanding other provisions hereof, the Committee may declare all Options granted under the Plan to be exercisable at any time on or before the fifth business day following such adoption notwithstanding the provisions of the respective Stock Option Agreements regarding exercisability. (d) The adjustments described in paragraphs (a) through (c) of this Section 5.2, and the manner of their application, shall be determined solely by the Board or the Committee, and any such adjustment may provide for the elimination of fractional share interests; provided, however, that any adjustment made by the Board or the Committee shall be made in a manner that will not cause an Incentive Stock Option to be other than an Incentive Stock Option under applicable statutory and regulatory provisions. The adjustments required under this Article V shall apply to any successors of the Company and shall be made regardless of the number or type of successive events requiring such adjustments. ARTICLE VI. OPTIONS 6.1. Types of Options Granted. The Committee may, under this Plan, grant either Incentive Stock Options or Options which do not qualify as Incentive Stock Options. Within the limitations provided in this Plan, both types of Options may be granted to the same person at the same time, or at different times, under different terms and conditions, as long as the terms and conditions of each Option are consistent with the provisions of the Plan. Without limitation of the foregoing, Options may be granted subject to conditions based on the financial performance of the Company or any other factor the Committee deems relevant. 7 6.2. Option Grant and Agreement. Each Option granted hereunder shall be evidenced by minutes of a meeting or the written consent of the Committee and by a written Stock Option Agreement executed by the Company and the Optionee. The terms of the Option, including the Option's duration, time or times of exercise, exercise price, whether the Option is intended to be an Incentive Stock Option, and whether the Option is to be accompanied by the right to receive a Reload Option, shall be stated in the Stock Option Agreement. No Incentive Stock Option may be granted more than ten years after the earlier to occur of the Effective Date or the date of the Plan is approved by the Company's shareholders. Separate Stock Option Agreements may be used for Options intended to be Incentive Stock Options and those not so intended, but any failure to use such separate agreements shall not invalidate, or otherwise adversely affect the Optionee's interest in, the Options evidenced thereby. 6.3. Optionee Limitation. The Committee shall not grant an Incentive Stock Option to any person who, at the time the Incentive Stock Option is granted: (a) is not an employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries; or (b) owns or is considered to own stock possessing at least 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any of its parent or subsidiary corporations; provided, however, that this limitation shall not apply if at the time an Incentive Stock Option is granted the Exercise Price is at least 110% of the Fair Market Value of the Stock subject to such Option and such Option by its terms would not be exercisable after five years from the date on which the Option is granted. 6.4. $100,000 Limitation. Except as provided below, the Committee shall not grant an Incentive Stock Option to, or modify the exercise provisions of outstanding Incentive Stock Options held by, any person who, at the time the Incentive Stock Option is granted (or modified), would thereby receive or hold any Incentive Stock Options of the Company and any parent or subsidiary of the Company, such that the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the respective dates of grant or modification of each option) of the stock with respect to which such Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time during any calendar year is in excess of $100,000 (or such other limit as may be prescribed by the Code from time to time); provided that the foregoing restriction on modification of outstanding Incentive Stock Options shall not preclude the Committee from modifying an outstanding Incentive Stock Option if, as a result of such modification and with the consent of the Optionee, such Option no longer constitutes an Incentive Stock Option; and provided that, if the $100,000 limitation (or such other limitation prescribed by the Code) described in this Section 6.4 is exceeded, the Incentive Stock Option, the granting or modification of which resulted in the exceeding of such limit, shall be treated as an Incentive Stock Option up to the limitation and the excess shall be treated as an Option not qualifying as an Incentive Stock Option. 6.5. Exercise Price. The Exercise Price of the Stock subject to each Option shall be determined by the Committee. Subject to the provisions of Section 6.3(b) hereof, the Exercise Price of an Incentive Stock Option shall not be less than the Fair Market Value of the Stock as of the date the Option is granted (or in the case of an Incentive Stock Option that is subsequently modified, on the date of such modification). 8 6.6. Exercise Period. The period for the exercise of each Option granted hereunder shall be determined by the Committee, but the Stock Option Agreement with respect to each Option intended to be an Incentive Stock Option shall provide that such Option shall not be exercisable after the expiration of ten years from the date of grant (or modification) of the Option. In addition, no Incentive Stock Option granted under the Plan shall be exercisable prior to shareholder approval of the Plan. 6.7. Option Exercise. (a) Unless otherwise provided in the Stock Option Agreement or Section 6.6 hereof, an Option may be exercised at any time or from time to time during the term of the Option as to any or all full shares which have become Purchasable under the provisions of the Option, but not at any time as to less than 100 shares unless the remaining shares that have become so Purchasable are less than 100 shares. The Committee shall have the authority to prescribe in any Stock Option Agreement that the Option may be exercised only in accordance with a vesting schedule during the term of the Option. (b) An Option shall be exercised by (i) delivery to the Company at its principal office a written notice of exercise with respect to a specified number of shares of Stock and (ii) payment to the Company at that office of the full amount of the Exercise Price for such number of shares in accordance with Section 6.7(c). If requested by an Optionee, an Option may be exercised with the involvement of a stockbroker in accordance with the federal margin rules set forth in Regulation T (in which case the certificates representing the underlying shares will be delivered by the Company directly to the stockbroker). (c) The Exercise Price is to be paid in full in cash upon the exercise of the Option and the Company shall not be required to deliver certificates for the shares purchased until such payment has been made; provided, however, that in lieu of cash, all or any portion of the Exercise Price may be paid by tendering to the Company shares of Stock duly endorsed for transfer and owned by the Optionee, or by authorization to the Company to withhold shares of Stock otherwise issuable upon exercise of the Option, in each case to be credited against the Exercise Price at the Fair Market Value of such shares on the date of exercise (however, no fractional shares may be so transferred, and the Company shall not be obligated to make any cash payments in consideration of any excess of the aggregate Fair Market Value of shares transferred over the aggregate Exercise Price); provided further, that the Board may provide in a Stock Option Agreement (or may otherwise determine in its sole discretion at the time of exercise) that, in lieu of cash or shares, all or a portion of the Exercise Price may be paid by the Optionee's execution of a recourse note equal to the Exercise Price or relevant portion thereof, subject to compliance with applicable state and federal laws, rules and regulations. (d) In addition to and at the time of payment of the Exercise Price, the Optionee shall pay to the Company in cash the full amount of any federal, state, and local income, employment, or other withholding taxes applicable to the taxable income of such Optionee resulting from such exercise. However, in the discretion of the Committee any Stock Option Agreement may provide that all or any portion of such tax obligations, together with additional taxes not exceeding the actual additional taxes to be owed by the Optionee as a result of such exercise, may, upon the irrevocable election of the Optionee, be paid by tendering to the Company whole shares of Stock 9 duly endorsed for transfer and owned by the Optionee, or by authorization to the Company to withhold shares of Stock otherwise issuable upon exercise of the Option, in either case in that number of shares having a Fair Market Value on the date of exercise equal to the amount of such taxes thereby being paid, and subject to such restrictions as to the approval and timing of any such election as the Committee may from time to time determine to be necessary or appropriate to satisfy the conditions of the exemption set forth in Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act, if such rule is applicable. (e) The holder of an Option shall not have any of the rights of a shareholder with respect to the shares of Stock subject to the Option until such shares have been issued and transferred to the Optionee upon the exercise of the Option. 6.8. Reload Options. (a) The Committee may specify in a Stock Option Agreement (or may otherwise determine in its sole discretion) that a Reload Option shall be granted, without further action of the Committee, (i) to an Optionee who exercises an Option (including a Reload Option) by surrendering shares of Stock in payment of amounts specified in Sections 6.7(c) or 6.7(d) hereof, (ii) for the same number of shares as are surrendered to pay such amounts, (iii) as of the date of such payment and at an Exercise Price equal to the Fair Market Value of the Stock on such date, and (iv) otherwise on the same terms and conditions as the Option whose exercise has occasioned such payment, subject to such other conditions or terms as the Committee shall specify at the time such exercised Option is granted. (b) Unless provided otherwise in the Stock Option Agreement, a Reload Option may not be exercised by an Optionee (i) prior to the end of a one-year period from the date that the Reload Option is granted, and (ii) unless the Optionee retains beneficial ownership of the shares of Stock issued to such Optionee upon exercise of the Option referred to above in Section 6.8(a)(i) for a period of one year from the date of such exercise. 6.9. Nontransferability of Option. No Option shall be transferable by an Optionee other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution or, in the case of non-Incentive Stock Options, pursuant to a Qualified Domestic Relations Order, and no Option shall be transferable by an Optionee who is a Section 16 Insider prior to shareholder approval of the Plan. During the lifetime of an Optionee, Options shall be exercisable only by such Optionee (or by such Optionee's guardian or legal representative, should one be appointed). 6.10. Termination of Employment or Service. The Committee shall have the power to specify, with respect to the Options granted to a particular Optionee, the effect upon such Optionee's right to exercise an Option of termination of such Optionee's employment or service under various circumstances, which effect may include immediate or deferred termination of such Optionee's rights under an Option, or acceleration of the date at which an Option may be exercised in full; provided, however, that in no event may an Incentive Stock Option be exercised after the expiration of ten years from the date of grant thereof. Unless a Stock Option Agreement specifically provides otherwise, in the event the recipient of an Option or Award is terminated from his or her employment or other service to the Company or its subsidiaries for Cause, Options and Awards, 10 whether vested or unvested, granted to such person shall terminate immediately and shall not thereafter be exercisable. 6.11. Employment Rights. Nothing in the Plan or in any Stock Option Agreement shall confer on any person any right to continue in the employ of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, or shall interfere in any way with the right of the Company or any of its subsidiaries to terminate such person's employment at any time. 6.12. Certain Successor Options. To the extent not inconsistent with the terms, limitations and conditions of Code Section 422 and any regulations promulgated with respect thereto, an Option issued in respect of an option held by an employee to acquire stock of any entity acquired, by merger or otherwise, by the Company (or any subsidiary of the Company) may contain terms that differ from those stated in this Article VI, but solely to the extent necessary to preserve for any such employee the rights and benefits contained in such predecessor option, or to satisfy the requirements of Code Section 424(a). 6.13. Effect of Change in Control. The Committee may determine, at the time of granting an Option or thereafter, that such Option shall become exercisable on an accelerated basis in the event that a Change in Control occurs with respect to the Company (and the Committee shall have the discretion to modify the definition of a Change in Control in a particular Option Agreement). If the Committee finds that there is a reasonable possibility that, within the succeeding six months, a Change in Control will occur with respect to the Company, then the Committee may determine that all outstanding Options shall be exercisable on an accelerated basis. ARTICLE VII. RESTRICTED STOCK 7.1. Awards of Restricted Stock. The Committee may grant Awards of Restricted Stock, which shall be governed by a Restriction Agreement between the Company and the Grantee. Each Restriction Agreement shall contain such restrictions, terms, and conditions as the Committee may, in its discretion, determine, and may require that an appropriate legend be placed on the certificates evidencing the subject Restricted Stock. Shares of Restricted Stock granted pursuant to an Award hereunder shall be issued in the name of the Grantee as soon as reasonably practicable after the Award is granted, provided that the Grantee has executed the Restriction Agreement governing the Award, the appropriate blank stock powers, and, in the discretion of the Committee, an escrow agreement and any other documents which the Committee may require as a condition to the issuance of such shares. If a Grantee shall fail to execute the foregoing documents within any time period prescribed by the Committee, the Award shall be void. At the discretion of the Committee, shares issued in connection with an Award may be held by the Company for the account of the Grantee or deposited together with the stock powers with an escrow agent designated by the Committee. Unless the Committee determines otherwise and as set forth in the Restriction Agreement, upon issuance of the shares, the Grantee shall have all of the rights of a shareholder with respect to such shares, including the right to vote the shares and to receive all dividends or other distributions paid or made with respect to the shares. 7.2. Non-Transferability. Until any restrictions upon Restricted Stock awarded to a Grantee shall have lapsed in a manner set forth in Section 7.3, such shares of Restricted Stock shall 11 not be transferable other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, or pursuant to a Qualified Domestic Relations Order, nor shall they be delivered to the Grantee. 7.3. Lapse of Restrictions. Restrictions upon Restricted Stock awarded Hereunder shall lapse at such time or times and on such terms and conditions as the Committee may, in its discretion, determine at the time the Award is granted or thereafter. 7.4. Termination of Employment. The Committee shall have the power to specify, with respect to each Award granted to any particular Grantee, the effect upon such Grantee's rights with respect to such Restricted Stock of the termination of such Grantee's employment under various circumstances, which effect may include immediate or deferred forfeiture of such Restricted Stock or acceleration of the date at which any then-remaining restrictions shall lapse. 7.5. Treatment of Dividends. At the time an Award of Restricted Stock is made the Committee may, in its discretion, determine that the payment to the Grantee of any dividends, or a specified portion thereof, declared or paid on such Restricted Stock shall be (i) deferred until the lapsing of the relevant restrictions and (ii) held by the Company for the account of the Grantee until such lapsing. In the event of such deferral, there shall be credited at the end of each year (or portion thereof) interest on the amount of the account at the beginning of the year at a rate per annum determined by the Committee. Payment of deferred dividends, together with interest thereon, shall be made upon the lapsing of restrictions imposed on such Restricted Stock, and any dividends deferred (together with any interest thereon) in respect of Restricted Stock shall be forfeited upon any forfeiture of such Restricted Stock. 7.6. Delivery of Shares. Except as provided otherwise in Article IX below, within a reasonable period of time following the lapse of the restrictions on shares of Restricted Stock, the Committee shall cause a stock certificate to be delivered to the Grantee with respect to such shares and such shares shall be free of all restrictions hereunder. ARTICLE VIII. STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS 8.1. SAR Grants. The Committee, in its sole discretion, may grant to any Grantee a SAR. The Committee may impose such conditions or restrictions on the exercise of any SAR as it may deem appropriate, including, without limitation, restricting the time of exercise of the SAR to specified periods as may be necessary to satisfy the requirements of Rule 16b-3. 8.2. Determination of Price. The SAR Price shall be established by the Committee in its sole discretion. The SAR Price shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of the Stock on the date the SAR is granted for a SAR issued in tandem with an Incentive Stock Option. 8.3. Exercise of a SAR.

To the extent not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan, the Committee may give a Grantee an election to surrender an Option or Award in exchange for the grant of a new Option or Award, and shall have the authority to amend or modify an outstanding Stock Option Agreement or Restriction Agreement, or to waive any provision of it, provided that the Grantee consents to such action. 4.2.

(a) Subject to adjustment under Section 5.2 below, the maximum number of shares of Stock that may be issued under this Plan shall be 384,283. Any or all shares of Stock subject to the Plan may be issued in any combination of Incentive Stock Options, non-Incentive Stock Options, and Restricted Stock. Except in connection with an adjustment made pursuant to Section 5.2, there will be no increases to the number of shares of Stock that may be issued under the Plan. Subject to adjustment under Section 5.2 below, the total number of shares of Stock issuable pursuant to Incentive Stock Options may not exceed 384,283. Shares subject to an Option or issued as an Award may be either authorized and unissued shares or shares issued and later acquired by the Company.

(b) The shares covered by any unexercised portion of an Option or Award that has terminated for any reason or any forfeited portion of an Option or Award, and shares of Stock tendered to the Company in payment of the Exercise Price or tax withholding on the exercise may not again be optioned or awarded under the Plan. (c) Not more than 500,000 shares of Stock may be made subject to Options to any individual in the aggregate in any one fiscal year of the Company. The foregoing limitations shall be applied in a manner consistent with the requirements of, and only to the extent required for compliance with, the exclusion from the limitation on deductibility of compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code. For purposes of this Section 5.1(c), if an Option is canceled in the same calendar year it was granted (other than in connection with a transaction described in Article 8), the canceled Option will be counted against the limit set forth in this Section 5.1(c). 7 For this purpose, if the exercise price of an Option is reduced, the transaction shall be treated as a cancellation of the Option and the grant of a new Option. 5.2. Adjustments upon Changes in Capitalization, Merger or Asset Sale. (a) If the Committee determines that any dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, shares of Stock, other securities, or other property), recapitalization, reclassification, stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, repurchase, liquidation, dissolution, share exchange, or sale, transfer, exchange or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or exchange of Stock or other securities of the Company, issuance of warrants or other rights to purchase Stock or other securities of the Company, or other similar corporate transaction or event, in the Committee's sole discretion, affects the Stock such that an adjustment is determined by the Committee to be appropriate to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended by the Company to be made available under the Plan or with respect to any Option or Restricted Stock, then the Committee shall, in such manner as it may deem equitable, adjust any or all of: (i) the number and kind of shares of Stock (or other securities or property) with respect to which Options may be granted or Restricted Stock awarded (including, but not limited to, adjustments of the limitations in the Plan in Section 5.1); (ii) the number and kind of shares of Stock (or other securities or property) subject to outstanding Options or Restricted Stock; and (iii) the grant or exercise price with respect to any Option. (b) In the event of any transaction or event described in Section 5.2(a), the Committee, in its sole discretion, and on such terms and conditions as it deems appropriate, either by the terms of the Option or Restricted Stock or by action taken before the occurrence of such transaction or event and either automatically or upon the Grantee's request, is hereby authorized to take any one or more of the following actions whenever the Committee determines that such action is appropriate to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended by the Company to be made available under the Plan or with respect to any Option or Restricted Stock granted or issued under the Plan or to facilitate such transaction or event: (i) to provide for either the purchase of any such Option or Restricted Stock for an amount of cash equal to the amount that could have been obtained upon the exercise of such Option or realization of the Grantee's rights had such Option or Restricted Stock been currently exercisable or fully vested or the replacement of such Option or Restricted Stock with other rights or property selected by the Committee in its sole discretion; (ii) to provide that such Option shall be exercisable as to all shares covered thereby, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan or the provisions of such Option; 8 (iii) to provide that such Option or Restricted Stock be assumed by the successor or survivor corporation, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, or shall be substituted for by similar options, rights or awards covering the stock of the successor or survivor corporation, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, with appropriate adjustments as to the number and kind of shares and prices; (iv) to make adjustments in the number and type of shares of Stock (or other securities or property) subject to outstanding Options, and/or in the terms and conditions of (including the grant or exercise price), and the criteria included in, outstanding Options or Restricted Stock, or Options or Restricted Stock that may be granted in the future; and (v) to provide that immediately upon, or on a specified date after, the consummation of such event, such Option shall not be exercisable and shall terminate. (c) Subject to Section 5.1, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, include such further provisions and limitations in any Option or Restriction Agreement or certificate, as it may deem equitable and in the best interests of the Company. (d) If the Company undergoes an Acquisition, then any surviving corporation or entity or acquiring corporation or entity, or affiliate of such corporation or entity, may assume any Options or Restricted Stock outstanding under the Plan or may substitute similar stock awards (including an award to acquire the same consideration paid to the shareholders in the transaction described in this Section 5.2(d)) for those outstanding under the Plan. If any surviving corporation or entity or acquiring corporation or entity in an Acquisition, or affiliate of such corporation or entity, does not assume such Options or Restricted Stock or does not substitute similar stock awards for those outstanding under the Plan, then (i) with respect to Options or Restricted Stock held by Grantees whose status as an Employee or service provider has not terminated before such event, the vesting of such Options or Restricted Stock (and, if applicable, the time during which such awards may be exercised) shall be accelerated and made fully exercisable and all restrictions thereon shall lapse at least ten (10) days before the closing of the Acquisition (and the Options terminated if not exercised before the closing of such Acquisition), and (ii) any other Options outstanding under the Plan shall be terminated if not exercised prior to the closing of the Acquisition. (e) The adjustments described in this Section 5.2, and the manner of their application, shall be determined solely by the Committee, and any such adjustment may provide for the elimination of fractional share interests; provided, however, that any adjustment made by the Committee shall be made in a manner that will not cause an Incentive Stock Option to be other than an Incentive Stock Option under Applicable Laws. The adjustments required under this Article 5 shall apply to any successors of the Company and shall be made regardless of the number or type of successive events requiring such adjustments. 9 (f) The existence of the Plan, any Option or Restriction Agreement shall not affect or restrict in any way the right or power of the Company or the shareholders of the Company to make or authorize any adjustment, recapitalization, reorganization, or other change in the Company's capital structure or its business, any merger or consolidation of the Company, any issue of stock or of options, warrants or rights to purchase stock or of bonds, debentures, preferred or prior preference stocks whose rights are superior to or affect the Stock or that are convertible into or exchangeable for Stock, or the dissolution or liquidation of the Company, or any sale or transfer of all or any part of its assets or business, or any other corporate act or proceeding, whether of a similar character or otherwise. 5.3. Assumption of Options by the Company. he Company, from time to time, also may substitute or assume outstanding options granted by another company, whether in connection with an acquisition of such other company or otherwise, by either; (a) granting an Option under this Plan in substitution of such other company's option; or (b) assuming such option as if it had been granted under this Plan if the terms of such assumed option could be applied to an Option granted under this Plan. Such substitution or assumption will be permissible if the holder of the substituted or assumed option would have been eligible to be granted an Option under this Plan if the other company had applied the rules of this Plan to such grant. If the Company assumes an award granted by another company, the terms and conditions of such award will remain unchanged (except that the exercise price and the number and nature of shares of Stock issuable upon exercise of any such option will be adjusted appropriately pursuant to Section 424(a) of the Code). If the Company elects to grant a new Option rather than assuming an existing option, the new Option may be granted with a similarly adjusted Exercise Price. ARTICLE VI. OPTIONS 6.1. Types of Options Granted. The Committee may, under this Plan, grant either Incentive Stock Options or Options that do not qualify as Incentive Stock Options. Within the limitations provided in this Plan, both types of Options may be granted to the same person at the same time, or at different times, under different terms and conditions, as long as the terms and conditions of each Option are consistent with the provisions of the Plan. Without limitation of the foregoing, Options may be granted subject to conditions based on the financial performance of the Company or any other factor the Committee deems relevant. 6.2. Option Grant and Agreement. Each Option granted under this Plan shall be evidenced by minutes of a meeting or the written consent of the Committee (or its delegate(s) as permitted by Section 4.1(a)) and by a written Stock Option Agreement executed by the Company and the Optionee. The terms of the Option, including the Option's duration, time or times of exercise, exercise price, whether the Option is intended to be an Incentive Stock Option, and whether the Option is to be accompanied by the right to receive a Reload Option, shall be stated in the Stock Option Agreement. No Incentive Stock Option may be granted more than ten years after the date the Plan is approved by the Company's shareholders. Separate Stock Option Agreements may be used for Options intended to be Incentive Stock Options and those not so intended, but any failure to use such separate agreements shall not invalidate, or otherwise adversely affect the Optionee's interest in, the Options evidenced thereby. 10 6.3. Optionee Limitation. The Committee shall not grant an Incentive Stock Option to any person who, at the time the Incentive Stock Option is granted: (a) is not an Employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries; or (b) owns or is considered to own stock possessing at least 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any of its parent or subsidiary corporations; provided, however, that this limitation shall not apply if at the time an Incentive Stock Option is granted the Exercise Price is at least 110% of the Fair Market Value of the Stock subject to such Option and such Option by its terms would not be exercisable after five years from the date on which the Option is granted. 6.4. $100,000 Limitation. Except as provided below, the Committee shall not grant an Incentive Stock Option to, or modify the exercise provisions of outstanding Incentive Stock Options held by, any person who, at the time the Incentive Stock Option is granted (or modified), would thereby receive or hold any Incentive Stock Options of the Company and any parent or subsidiary of the Company, such that the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the respective dates of grant or modification of each option) of the stock with respect to which such Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time during any calendar year is in excess of $100,000 (or such other limit as may be prescribed by the Code from time to time); provided that the foregoing restriction on modification of outstanding Incentive Stock Options shall not preclude the Committee from modifying an outstanding Incentive Stock Option if, as a result of such modification and with the consent of the Optionee, such Option no longer constitutes an Incentive Stock Option; and provided that, if the $100,000 limitation (or such other limitation prescribed by the Code) described in this Section 6.4 is exceeded, the Incentive Stock Option, the granting or modification of which resulted in the exceeding of such limit, shall be treated as an Incentive Stock Option up to the limitation and the excess shall be treated as an Option not qualifying as an Incentive Stock Option. 6.5. Exercise Price. The Exercise Price of the Stock subject to each Option shall be determined by the Committee. Subject to the provisions of Section 6.3(b) of this Plan, the Exercise Price of an Incentive Stock Option shall not be less than the Fair Market Value of the Stock as of the date the Option is granted (or in the case of an Incentive Stock Option that is subsequently modified, on the date of such modification). 6.6. Exercise Period. The period for the exercise of each Option granted under this Plan shall be determined by the Committee, but the Stock Option Agreement with respect to each Option intended to be an Incentive Stock Option shall provide that such Option shall not be exercisable after the expiration of ten years from the date of grant (or modification) of the Option. 6.7. Option Exercise. (a) Unless otherwise provided in the Stock Option Agreement or Section 6.6 of this Plan, an Option may be exercised at any time or from time to time during the term of the Option as to any or all full shares that have become Purchasable under the provisions of the Option, but not at any time as to fewer than 100 shares unless the remaining shares that have 11 become so Purchasable are fewer than 100 shares. The Committee shall have the authority to prescribe in any Stock Option Agreement that the Option may be exercised only in accordance with a vesting schedule during the term of the Option. (b) An Option shall be exercised by (i) delivery to the Company at its principal office (or, if the Committee so directs, to an administrator designated by the Committee at such administrator's office) a written notice of exercise with respect to a specified number of shares of Stock and (ii) payment to the Company at that office of the full amount of the Exercise Price for such number of shares in accordance with Section 6.7(c). (c) Payment for Shares purchased pursuant to this Plan may be made in cash (by check) or, where expressly approved for the Optionee by the Committee and where permitted by Applicable Laws: (i) by cancellation of indebtedness of the Company to the Optionee; (ii) by surrender of shares that either: (1) have been owned by the Optionee for more than six (6)months and have been paid for within the meaning of SEC Rule 144 (and, if such shares were purchased from the Company by use of a promissory note, such note has been fully paid with respect to such shares); or (2) were obtained by the Optionee in the public market; (iii) by tender of a full recourse promissory note having such terms as may be approved by the Committee and bearing interest at a rate sufficient to avoid (1) imputation of income under Sections 483 and 1274 of the Code and (2) variable accounting treatment under Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 44 to APB No. 25; provided, however, that Optionees who are not Employees or Directors of the Company or any subsidiary shall not be entitled to purchase Shares with a promissory note unless the note is adequately secured by collateral other than the shares of Stock being purchased; (iv) by waiver of compensation due or accrued to the Optionee for services rendered; (v) with respect only to purchases upon exercise of an Option, and provided that a public market for the Company's stock exists and the transaction is done in a manner sufficient to avoid variable accounting treatment under Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 44 to APB No. 25: (1) through a "same day sale" commitment from the Optionee and a broker-dealer that is a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers (an "NASD Dealer") whereby the Optionee irrevocably elects to exercise the Option and to sell a portion of the Shares so purchased to pay for the Exercise Price, and whereby the NASD Dealer irrevocably commits upon receipt of such Shares to forward the Exercise Price directly to the Company; or (2) through a "margin" commitment from the Optionee and a NASD Dealer whereby the Optionee irrevocably elects to exercise the Option and to pledge the Shares so purchased to 12 the NASD Dealer in a margin account as security for a loan from the NASD Dealer in the amount of the Exercise Price, and whereby the NASD Dealer irrevocably commits upon receipt of such Shares to forward the Exercise Price directly to the Company; or (vi) by any combination of the foregoing. (d) In addition to and at the time of payment of the Exercise Price, the Optionee shall pay to the Company in cash the full amount of any federal federal, state, and local income, employment, or other withholding taxes applicable to the taxable income of such Optionee resulting from such exercise. The Committee may allow Optionees to satisfy a portion of the foregoing withholding tax obligations by electing to have the Company withhold from the shares of Stock to be issued upon exercise of an Option that number of shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the minimum amount required to be withheld based on the statutory withholding rates for federal and state tax purposes that apply to supplemental taxable income. The Fair Market Value of the shares to be withheld shall be determined on the date that the amount of tax to be withheld is to be determined. All elections by Optionees to have shares withheld for this purpose shall be made in such form and under such conditions as the Committee may deem necessary or advisable. (e) The holder of an Option shall not have any of the rights of a shareholder with respect to the shares of Stock subject to the Option until such shares have been issued and transferred to the Optionee upon the exercise of the Option. 6.8. Reload Options. (a) The Committee may specify in a Stock Option Agreement (or may otherwise determine in its sole discretion) that a Reload Option shall be granted, without further action of the Committee, (i) to an Optionee who exercises an Option (including a Reload Option) by surrendering shares of Stock to the Company in payment of amounts specified in Sections 6.7(c) or 6.7(d) of this Plan, (ii) for the same number of shares as are surrendered to pay such amounts, (iii) as of the date of such payment and at an Exercise Price equal to the Fair Market Value of the Stock on such date, and (iv) otherwise on the same terms and conditions as the Option whose exercise has occasioned such payment, subject to such other conditions or terms as the Committee shall specify at the time such exercised Option is granted. (b) Unless provided otherwise in the Stock Option Agreement, a Reload Option may not be exercised by an Optionee (i) prior to the end of a one-year period from the date that the Reload Option is granted, and (ii) unless the Optionee retains beneficial ownership of the shares of Stock issued to such Optionee upon exercise of the Option referred to above in Section 6.8(a)(i) for a period of one year from the date of such exercise. 6.9. Non-Transferability of Option. Except as otherwise provided by the Committee, no Option shall be transferable by an Optionee other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution or, in the case of non-Incentive Stock Options, pursuant to a 6.9 Qualified Domestic 13 Relations Order. During the lifetime of an Optionee, Options shall be exercisable only by such Optionee (or by such Optionee's guardian or legal representative, should one be appointed). 6.10. Termination of Employment or Service. The Committee shall have the power to specify, with respect to the Options granted to a particular Optionee, the effect upon such Optionee's right to exercise an Option of termination of such Optionee's employment or service under various circumstances, which effect may include immediate or deferred termination of such Optionee's rights under an Option, or acceleration of the date at which an Option may be exercised in full; provided, however, that in no event may an Incentive Stock Option be exercised after the expiration of ten years from its date of grant. Unless a Stock Option Agreement specifically provides otherwise, in the event the recipient of an Option or Award is terminated from his or her employment or other service to the Company or its subsidiaries for Cause, Options and Awards, whether vested or unvested, granted to such person shall terminate immediately and shall not thereafter be exercisable. 6.11. Employment Rights. Nothing in the Plan or in any Stock Option Agreement shall confer on any person any right to continue in the employ of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, or shall interfere in any way with the right of the Company or any of its subsidiaries to terminate such person's employment at any time. 6.12. Effect of Change in Control. The Committee may determine, at the time of granting an Option or thereafter, that such Option shall become exercisable on an accelerated basis in the event that a Change in Control occurs with respect to the Company (and the Committee shall have the discretion to modify the definition of a Change in Control in a particular Option Agreement). If the Committee finds that there is a reasonable possibility that, within the succeeding six months, a Change in Control will occur with respect to the Company, then the Committee may determine that all outstanding Options shall be exercisable on an accelerated basis. ARTICLE VII. RESTRICTED STOCK 7.1. Awards of Restricted Stock. The Committee may grant Awards of Restricted Stock, which shall be governed by a Restriction Agreement between the Company and the Grantee. Each Restriction Agreement shall contain such restrictions, terms, and conditions as the Committee may, in its discretion, determine, and may require that an appropriate legend be placed on the certificates evidencing the subject Restricted Stock. Shares of Restricted Stock granted pursuant to an Award under this Plan shall be issued in the name of the Grantee as soon as reasonably practicable after the Award is granted, provided that the Grantee has executed the Restriction Agreement governing the Award, the appropriate blank stock powers, and, in the discretion of the Committee, an escrow agreement and any other documents that the Committee may require as a condition to the issuance of such shares. If a Grantee shall fail to execute the foregoing documents within any time period prescribed by the Committee, the Award shall be void. At the discretion of the Committee, shares issued in connection with an Award may be held by the Company for the account of the Grantee or deposited together with the stock powers with an escrow agent designated by the Committee. Unless the Committee determines otherwise 14 and as provided in the Restriction Agreement, upon issuance of the shares, the Grantee shall have all of the rights of a shareholder with respect to such shares, including the right to vote the shares and to receive all dividends or other distributions paid or made with respect to the shares. 7.2. Non-Transferability of Restricted Stock. Until any restrictions upon Restricted Stock awarded to a Grantee shall have lapsed in a manner provided in Section 7.3, such shares of Restricted Stock shall not be transferable other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, or pursuant to a Qualified Domestic Relations Order, nor shall they be delivered to the Grantee. 7.3. Lapse of Restrictions. Restrictions upon Restricted Stock awarded under this Plan shall lapse at such time or times and on such terms and conditions as the Committee may, in its discretion, determine at the time the Award is granted or thereafter. 7.4. Termination of Employment. The Committee shall have the power to specify, with respect to each Award granted to any particular Grantee, the effect upon such Grantee's rights with respect to such Restricted Stock of the termination of such Grantee's employment under various circumstances, which effect may include immediate or deferred forfeiture of such Restricted Stock or acceleration of the date at which any then-remaining restrictions shall lapse. 7.5. Treatment of Dividends. At the time an Award of Restricted Stock is made, the Committee may, in its discretion, determine that the payment to the Grantee of any dividends, or a specified portion of them, declared or paid on such Restricted Stock shall be (i) deferred until the lapsing of the relevant restrictions and (ii) held by the Company for the account of the Grantee until such lapsing. In the event of such deferral, there shall be credited at the end of each year (or portion of it) interest on the amount of the account at the beginning of the year at a rate per annum determined by the Committee. Payment of deferred dividends, together with interest on those dividends, shall be made upon the lapsing of restrictions imposed on such Restricted Stock, and any dividends deferred (together with any interest on those dividends) in respect of Restricted Stock shall be forfeited upon any forfeiture of such Restricted Stock. 7.6. Delivery of Shares. Except as provided otherwise in Article 8 below, within a reasonable period of time following the lapse of the restrictions on shares of Restricted Stock, the Committee shall cause a stock certificate to be delivered to the Grantee with respect to such shares and such shares shall be free of all restrictions under this Plan. ARTICLE VIII. TERMINATION AND AMENDMENT 8.1. Termination and Amendment. The Board may at any time terminate the Plan, and may at any time and from time to time and in any respect amend the Plan; provided, however, that the Board (unless its actions are approved or ratified by the shareholders of the Company within twelve months of the date that the Board amends the Plan) may not amend the Plan to: (a) increase the total number of shares of Stock issuable pursuant to Incentive Stock Options, except as contemplated in Sections 5.1 and 5.2; 15 (b) change the class of Employees eligible to receive Incentive Stock Options that may participate in the Plan; or (c) otherwise materially increase the benefits accruing to recipients of Incentive Stock Options under the Plan. The Committee shall obtain shareholder approval of any Plan amendment to the extent necessary and desirable to comply with Applicable Laws. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Options or Awards may be granted under the Plan after November 8, 2004, and the Plan shall automatically terminate without the requirement of action by the Board once there are no outstanding Options and Awards. 8.2. Effect on Grantee's Rights. No termination, amendment, or modification of the Plan shall affect adversely a Grantee's rights under a Stock Option Agreement or Restriction Agreement without the consent of the Grantee or his legal representative. ARTICLE IX. MISCELLANEOUS 9.1. Stock Certificates. The Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any certificate for shares of Stock purchased upon the exercise of any Option granted under this Plan, or deliver any certificate for shares of Restricted Stock granted under this Plan, before fulfillment of all of the following conditions: (a) the admission of such shares to listing on all stock exchanges on which the Stock is then listed; (b) the completion of any registration or other qualification of such shares that the Committee shall deem necessary or advisable under any Applicable Laws; (c) the obtaining of any approval or other clearance from any federal or state governmental agency or body that the Committee shall determine to be necessary or advisable; and (d) the lapse of such reasonable period of time following the exercise of the Option as the Board from time to time may establish for reasons of administrative convenience. Stock certificates issued and delivered to Grantees shall bear such restrictive legends as the Company shall deem necessary or advisable pursuant to Applicable Laws. 9.2. Relationship to Other Compensation Plans. The adoption of the Plan shall not affect any other stock option, incentive, or other compensation plans in effect for the Company or any of its subsidiaries; nor shall the adoption of the Plan preclude the Company or any of its subsidiaries from establishing any other form of incentive or other compensation plan for Employees or Directors of the Company or any of its subsidiaries. 9.3. Replacement or Amended Grants. At the sole discretion of the Committee, and subject to the terms of the Plan, the Committee may modify outstanding Options or Awards or 16 accept the surrender of outstanding Options or Awards and grant new Options or Awards in substitution for them. No modification of an Option or Award, however, shall adversely affect a Grantee's rights under a Stock Option Agreement or Restriction Agreement without the consent of the Grantee or his legal representative. 9.4. Forfeiture for Solicitation of Customers. During Grantee's employment with or service to the Company and for a period of twenty-four (24) months following the date of termination of employment or service, Grantee shall not (except on behalf of or with the prior written consent of the Company), on Grantee's own behalf or in the service or on behalf of others, (i) solicit, divert, or appropriate to or for a competing business, or (ii) attempt to solicit, divert, or appropriate to or for a competing business, any person or entity that was a customer of the Company on the date of termination and with whom Grantee had direct material contact within twelve months of Grantee's last date of employment or service. If Grantee engages in solicitation of customers as defined above, then Grantee's rights under any Options outstanding under this Plan shall be forfeited and terminated, and any shares of Restricted Stock held by such Grantee subject to remaining restrictions shall be forfeited, subject in each case to a determination to the contrary by the Committee. 9.5. Forfeiture for Solicitation of Employees. During Grantee's employment with or service to the Company and for a period of twenty-four (24) months following the date of termination of employment or service, Grantee shall not, on Grantee's own behalf or in the service or on behalf of others, (i) solicit, divert, or hire away, or (ii) attempt to solicit, divert, or hire away any employee of the Company, regardless of whether the employee is full-time or temporary, the employment is pursuant to written agreement, or the employment is for a determined period or is at will. If Grantee engages in solicitation of employees as defined above, then Grantee's rights under any Options outstanding under this Plan shall be forfeited and terminated, and any shares of Restricted Stock held by such Grantee subject to remaining restrictions shall be forfeited, subject in each case to a determination to the contrary by the Committee. 9.6. Escrow; Pledge of Shares. To enforce any restrictions on a Grantee's shares of Stock, the Committee may require the Grantee to deposit all certificates representing shares of Stock, together with stock powers other instruments of transfer approved by the Committee, appropriately endorsed in blank, with the Company or an agent designated by the Company to hold in escrow until such restrictions have lapsed or terminated, and the Committee may cause a legend or legends referencing such restrictions to be placed on the certificates. Any Grantee who is permitted to execute a promissory note as partial or full consideration for the purchase of shares under this Plan will be required to pledge and deposit with the Company all or part of the shares so purchased as collateral to secure the payment of the Grantee's obligation to the Company under the promissory note; provided, however, that the Committee may require or accept other or additional forms of collateral to secure the payment of such obligation and, in any event, the Company will have full recourse against the Grantee under the promissory note notwithstanding any pledge of the Grantee's shares or other collateral. In connection with any pledge of the shares, the Grantee will be required to execute and deliver a written pledge agreement in such form as the Committee will from time to time approve. In the discretion of the Committee, the shares purchased with the promissory note may be released from the pledge on a pro rata basis as the promissory note is paid. 17 9.7.

(b) An Option shall be exercised by (i) delivery to the Company at its principal office (or, if the Committee so directs, to an administrator designated by the Committee at such administrator's office) a written notice of exercise with respect to a specified number of shares of Stock and (ii) payment to the Company at that office of the full amount of the Exercise Price for such number of shares in accordance with Section 6.5(c). (c) Payment for Shares purchased pursuant to this Plan may be made in cash (by check) or, where permitted by Applicable Laws: (i) by cancellation of indebtedness of the Company to the Optionee; (ii) by surrender of shares that either: (1) have been owned by the Optionee for more than six (6) months and have been paid for within the meaning 7 of SEC Rule 144 (and, if such shares were purchased from the Company by use of a promissory note, such note has been fully paid with respect to such shares); or (2) were obtained by the Optionee in the public market; (iii) by tender of a full recourse promissory note having such terms as may be approved by the Committee and bearing interest at a rate sufficient to avoid (1) imputation of income under Sections 483 and 1274 of the Code and (2) variable accounting treatment under Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 44 to APB No. 25; provided, however, that if the Optionee is not an Employee or Director of the Company or any subsidiary, he shall not be entitled to purchase Shares with a promissory note unless the note is adequately secured by collateral other than the shares of Stock being purchased; (iv) by waiver of compensation due or accrued to the Optionee for services rendered; (v) with respect only to purchases upon exercise of an Option, and provided that a public market for the Company's stock exists and the transaction is done in a manner sufficient to avoid variable accounting treatment under Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 44 to APB No. 25: (1) through a "same day sale" commitment from the Optionee and a broker-dealer that is a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers (an "NASD Dealer") whereby the Optionee irrevocably elects to exercise the Option and to sell a portion of the Shares so purchased to pay for the Exercise Price, and whereby the NASD Dealer irrevocably commits upon receipt of such Shares to forward the Exercise Price directly to the Company; or (2) through a "margin" commitment from the Optionee and a NASD Dealer whereby the Optionee irrevocably elects to exercise the Option and to pledge the Shares so purchased to the NASD Dealer in a margin account as security for a loan from the NASD Dealer in the amount of the Exercise Price, and whereby the NASD Dealer irrevocably commits upon receipt of such Shares to forward the Exercise Price directly to the Company; or (vi) by any combination of the foregoing. (d) In addition to and at the time of payment of the Exercise Price, the Optionee shall pay to the Company in cash the full amount of any federal, state, and local income, employment, or other withholding taxes applicable to the taxable income of such Optionee resulting from such exercise. The Committee may allow the Optionee to satisfy a portion of the foregoing withholding tax obligations by electing to have the Company withhold from the shares of Stock to be issued upon exercise of an Option that number of shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the minimum amount required to be withheld based on the statutory withholding rates for federal and state tax purposes that apply to supplemental taxable income. The Fair Market Value of the shares to be withheld shall be determined on the date that the amount of tax to be withheld is to be determined. All elections by the Optionee to have shares withheld for this purpose shall be made in such form and under such conditions as the Committee may deem necessary or advisable. 8 (e) The Optionee shall not have any of the rights of a shareholder with respect to the shares of Stock subject to the Option until such shares have been issued and transferred to the Optionee upon the exercise of the Option. 6.6. Non-Transferability of Option. Except as otherwise provided by the Committee, no Option shall be transferable by the Optionee other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to a Qualified Domestic Relations Order. During the lifetime of the Optionee, Options shall be exercisable only by the Optionee (or by the Optionee's guardian or legal representative, should one be appointed). 6.7. Termination of Employment or Service. If the Optionee is terminated from his employment or other service to the Company or its subsidiaries for Cause, his Options, whether vested or unvested, shall terminate immediately and shall not thereafter be exercisable. The effect on the Options of the termination of the Employee's employment in other circumstances shall be as stated in the Stock Option Agreement and the Employment Agreement. If there is any conflict between the provisions of the Stock Option Agreement and the Employment Agreement regarding the effect of termination of employment, the provisions of the Employment Agreement shall govern. 6.8. Employment Rights. Nothing in the Plan or in any Stock Option Agreement shall confer on the Optionee any right to continue in the employ of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, or shall interfere in any way with the right of the Company or any of its subsidiaries to terminate his employment at any time. 6.9. Effect of Change in Control. The effect of a change of control on the Options granted hereunder shall be as stated in the Employment Agreement. ARTICLE VII. TERMINATION AND AMENDMENT 7.1. Termination and Amendment. The Board may at any time terminate the Plan, and may at any time and from time to time and in any respect amend the Plan; provided, however, that the Board may not amend the Plan to: (a) increase the total number of shares of Stock issuable to the Optionee; (b) permit Options to be granted to anyone other than the Optionee; or (c) otherwise materially increase the benefits accruing to the Optionee as a holder of Options under the Plan. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Options may be granted under the Plan after November 8, 2004, and the Plan shall automatically terminate without the requirement of action by the Board once there are no outstanding Options. 7.2. Effect on Optionee's Rights. No termination, amendment, or modification of the Plan shall affect adversely the Optionee's rights under the Stock Option Agreement without the consent of the Optionee or his legal representative. 9 ARTICLE VIII. MISCELLANEOUS 8.1. Stock Certificates. The Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any certificate for shares of Stock purchased upon the exercise of any Option granted under this Plan before fulfillment of all of the following conditions: (a) the admission of such shares to listing on all stock exchanges on which the Stock is then listed; (b) the completion of any registration or other qualification of such shares that the Committee shall deem necessary or advisable under any Applicable Laws; (c) the obtaining of any approval or other clearance from any federal or state governmental agency or body that the Committee shall determine to be necessary or advisable; and (d) the lapse of such reasonable period of time following the exercise of the Option as the Board from time to time may establish for reasons of administrative convenience. Stock certificates issued and delivered to the Optionee shall bear such restrictive legends as the Company shall deem necessary or advisable pursuant to Applicable Laws. 8.2. Relationship to Other Compensation Plans. The adoption of the Plan shall not affect any other stock option, incentive, or other compensation plans in effect for the Company or any of its subsidiaries; nor shall the adoption of the Plan preclude the Company or any of its subsidiaries from establishing any other form of incentive or other compensation plan for Employees or Directors of the Company or any of its subsidiaries. 8.3. Replacement or Amended Grants. At the sole discretion of the Committee, and subject to the terms of the Plan, the Committee may modify outstanding Options or accept the surrender of outstanding Options and grant new Options in substitution for them. No modification of an Option, however, shall adversely affect the Optionee's rights under a Stock Option Agreement without the consent of the Optionee or his legal representative. 8.4. Forfeiture for Solicitation of Customers. During Optionee's employment with or service to the Company and for a period of twenty-four (24) months following the date of termination of employment or service, Optionee shall not (except on behalf of or with the prior written consent of the Company), on Optionee's own behalf or in the service or on behalf of others, (i) solicit, divert, or appropriate to or for a competing business, or (ii) attempt to solicit, divert, or appropriate to or for a competing business, any person or entity that was a customer of the Company on the date of termination and with whom Optionee had direct material contact within twelve months of Optionee's last date of employment or service. If Optionee engages in solicitation of customers as defined above, then Optionee's rights under any Options outstanding under this Plan shall be forfeited and terminated, subject in each case to a determination to the contrary by the Committee. 8.5. Forfeiture for Solicitation of Employees. During Optionee's employment with or service to the Company and for a period of twenty-four (24) months following the date of 10 termination of employment or service, Optionee shall not, on Optionee's own behalf or in the service or on behalf of others, (i) solicit, divert, or hire away, or (ii) attempt to solicit, divert, or hire away any employee of the Company, regardless of whether the employee is full-time or temporary, the employment is pursuant to written agreement, or the employment is for a determined period or is at will. If Optionee engages in solicitation of employees as defined above, then Optionee's rights under any Options outstanding under this Plan shall be forfeited and terminated, subject in each case to a determination to the contrary by the Committee. 8.6. Plan Binding on Successors. The Plan shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of the Company. 8.7. Singular, Plural; Gender. Whenever used in this Plan, nouns in the singular shall include the plural, and the masculine pronoun shall include the feminine gender. 8.8. Headings, etc., No Part of Plan.
