BYLAWS

OF

1.

Article VII of the Bylaws is hereby amended to add thereto a new Section 11, as set forth in its entirety

below:

INAPPLICABILITY OF ACQUISITION OF CONTROLLING INTEREST STATUTES

Section 11. Notwithstanding any other provision in these Bylaws to the contrary, and in accordance

with the provisions of NRS 78.378, the provisions of NRS 78.378 to 78.3793, inclusive (or any successor statutes thereto), relating to acquisitions of controlling interests in the Company, do not and shall not apply to (i) the Company or

(ii) any acquisition of any share(s) of any class or series of the Company’s capital stock.

2.

The Bylaws are hereby further amended to add thereto a new Article IX, as set forth in its entirety below:

ARTICLE IX

FORUM FOR ADJUDICATION OF DISPUTES

Section 1. To the fullest extent permitted by law, and unless the Company consents in writing to the

selection of an alternative forum, the Eighth Judicial District Court of Clark County, Nevada, shall be the sole and exclusive forum for any actions, suits or proceedings, whether civil, administrative or investigative, (a) brought in the name

or right of the Company or on its behalf, (b) asserting a claim for breach of any fiduciary duty owed by any current or former director, officer or controlling stockholder in such capacity, (c) for any other internal action (as defined in

NRS 78.046), including any action asserting a claim against the Company arising pursuant to, or to interpret, apply, enforce or determine the validity of, any provision of NRS Title 7 (including NRS Chapters 78 and 92A), the Articles of

outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation;

of the Company, each of whom is a “non-employee director” within the meaning of Rule 16b-3, to the extent applicable; provided, further, that

the mere fact that a Committee shall fail to qualify under the foregoing requirement shall not invalidate any Award made by such Committee which Award is otherwise validly made under this Plan. Different Committees may administer this Plan with

question on the stock exchange determined by the Committee to be the primary market for the Shares, as such price is officially quoted on such exchange; provided that if there is no reported sale of Shares on such exchange on the date in

question, then the closing selling price on the last preceding date for which such quotation exists shall be determinative; or

(iii) if

the Shares are at the time neither listed nor admitted to trading on any stock exchange nor traded in the over-the-counter market (or if the Committee determines that

the value as determined pursuant to subsection (i) or (ii) above does not reflect fair market value), then the Committee shall determine Fair Market Value after taking into account such factors as it deems appropriate consistent with Treas.

(dd) “Termination of Service” means the termination of the Participant’s employment, consulting services or

directorship with the Company, its Subsidiaries and its Affiliates, as the case may be. A Participant employed by a Subsidiary of the Company or one of its Affiliates shall also be deemed to incur a Termination of Service if the Subsidiary of the

Company or Affiliate ceases to be such a Subsidiary or an Affiliate, as the case may be, and the Participant does not immediately thereafter become an employee or director of, or a consultant to, the Company, another Subsidiary of the Company or an

Affiliate. In the event that a Participant who is an employee of the Company, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate becomes a Director or a consultant to the Company, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate upon the Participant’s termination of employment, unless

otherwise determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, no Termination of Service shall be deemed to occur until such time as such Participant is no longer an

employee of, or consultant to, the Company, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate or a Director, as the case may be. If a Participant who is a Director becomes an employee of, or a consultant to, the

Company, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate upon such Participant ceasing to be a Director, unless otherwise determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, such termination of the Participant’s directorship shall not be treated as a Termination

of Service unless and until the Participant’s employment or consultancy, as the case may be, terminates. Temporary absences from employment because of illness, vacation or leave of absence and transfers among the Company and its Subsidiaries

and Affiliates shall not be considered a Termination of Service.

3. Administration.

(a) Authority of the Committee. This Plan shall be administered by the Committee, and the Committee shall have full and final authority

to take the following actions, in each case subject to and consistent with the provisions of this Plan:

(i) to select Eligible Persons to

whom Awards may be granted;

(ii) to designate Affiliates;

(iii) to determine the type or types of Awards to be granted to each Eligible Person;

(iv) to determine the type and number of Awards to be granted, the number of Shares to which an Award may relate, the terms and conditions of

any Award granted under this Plan (including any exercise price, grant price, or purchase price, any restriction or condition, any schedule for lapse of restrictions or conditions relating to transferability or forfeiture, exercisability, or

settlement of an Award, and waiver or accelerations thereof, and waivers of performance conditions relating to an Award, based in each case on such considerations as the Committee shall determine), and all other matters to be determined in

connection with an Award;

(v) to determine whether, to what extent, and under what circumstances an Award may be settled, or the exercise

price of an Award may be paid, in cash, Shares, other Awards, or other property, or an Award may be canceled, forfeited, exchanged, or surrendered;

(vi) to determine whether, to what extent, and under what circumstances cash, Shares, other Awards, or other property payable with respect to

an Award will be deferred either automatically, at the election of the Committee, or at the election of the Eligible Person, provided that such deferral shall be intended to be in compliance with Section 409A of the Code;

(vii) to prescribe the form of each Award Agreement, which need not be identical for each Eligible Person;

(viii) to adopt, amend, suspend, waive, and rescind such rules and regulations and appoint such agents as the Committee may deem necessary or

advisable to administer this Plan;

(ix) to correct any defect or supply any omission or reconcile any inconsistency in this Plan and to

construe and interpret this Plan and any Award, rules and regulations, Award Agreement, or other instrument hereunder;

(x) to accelerate

the exercisability or vesting of all or any portion of any Award or to extend the period during which an Award is exercisable;

(xi) to

determine whether uncertificated Shares may be used in satisfying Awards and otherwise in connection with this Plan;

(xii) to make all

other decisions and determinations as may be required under the terms of this Plan or as the Committee may deem necessary or advisable for the administration of this Plan, including to decide any disputes arising in connection with the Plan.

(b) Manner of Exercise of Committee Authority. The Committee shall have sole

discretion in exercising its authority under this Plan. Any action of the Committee with respect to this Plan shall be final, conclusive, and binding on all persons, including the Company, Subsidiaries, Affiliates, Eligible Persons, any person

claiming any rights under this Plan from or through any Eligible Person, and stockholders. The express grant of any specific power to the Committee, and the taking of any action by the Committee, shall not be construed as limiting any power or

authority of the Committee. The Committee may delegate to other members of the Board or officers or managers of the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate the authority, subject to such terms as the Committee shall determine, to perform

administrative functions and, with respect to Awards granted to persons not subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, to perform such other functions as the Committee may determine, to the extent permitted under Rule 16b-3 (if applicable) and applicable law.

(c) Limitation of Liability. Each member of the

Committee shall be entitled to, in good faith, rely or act upon any report or other information furnished to him or her by any officer or other employee of the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate, the Company’s independent certified public

accountants, or other professional retained by the Company to assist in the administration of this Plan. No member of the Committee, and no officer or employee of the Company acting on behalf of the Committee, shall be personally liable for any

action, determination, or interpretation taken or made in good faith with respect to this Plan, and all members of the Committee and any officer or employee of the Company acting on their behalf shall, to the extent permitted by law, be fully

indemnified and protected by the Company with respect to any such action, determination, or interpretation.

(d) No Option or SAR

Repricing Without Stockholder Approval. Except as provided in Section 4(b), unless the approval of stockholders of the Company is obtained, (i) Options and SARs shall not be amended to lower their exercise price, (ii) Options and

SARs will not be exchanged for other Options or SARs with lower exercise prices, (iii) Options and SARs with an exercise price in excess of the Fair Market Value of the underlying Shares will not be exchanged for cash or other property and

(iv) no other action shall be taken with respect to Options or SARs that would be treated as a repricing under generally accepted accounting principles or the rules of the stock exchange on which the Shares are listed.

(e) Limitation on Committee’s Authority under 409A. Anything in this Plan to the contrary notwithstanding, the Committee’s

authority to modify outstanding Awards shall be limited to the extent necessary so that the existence of such authority does not (i) cause an Award that is not otherwise deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code to become

deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code or (ii) cause an Award that is otherwise deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code to fail to meet the requirements prescribed by Section 409A of the Code.

4. Shares Subject to this Plan.

(a) Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4(b) hereof, the total number of Shares reserved for issuance in connection with Awards

under this Plan shall be (i) 5,318,062 plus (ii) the number of Shares subject to awards granted prior to the Original Effective Date of this Plan under the Company’s 1981 Share Option Plan, its Restricted Share Plan or its 1992 Directors

Share Option Plan (the “Prior Plans”) which awards are, after the Original Effective Date, forfeited, canceled, surrendered or otherwise terminated without a distribution of Shares to the holder of the award; provided,

however, that, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4(b) hereof, no more than 5,318,062 Shares may be issued as ISOs under this Plan; and, provided, further, that for each Restricted Share, Restricted Stock Unit,

Performance Share, Performance Unit, Dividend Equivalent or Other Stock-Based Award issued, such total number of available Shares shall be reduced by 1.08 Shares. No Award may be granted if the number of Shares to which such Award relates, when

added to the number of Shares previously issued under this Plan, exceeds the number of Shares reserved under the applicable provisions of the preceding sentence. If any Awards are forfeited, canceled, terminated, exchanged or surrendered or such

Award is settled in cash or otherwise terminates without a distribution of Shares to the Participant, any Shares counted against the number of Shares reserved and available under this Plan with respect to such Award shall, to the extent of any such

forfeiture, repurchase, settlement, termination, cancellation, exchange or surrender, again be available for Awards under this Plan. Further, for each share underlying an Award that was granted under this Plan and is a Restricted Share, Restricted

Stock Unit, Performance Share, Performance Unit, Dividend Equivalent or Other Stock-Based Award and for each Share underlying an award other than an option or stock appreciation right that was granted under a Prior Plan, in each case, that is

forfeited, cancelled, terminated, exchanged or surrendered, such forfeiture, cancellation, termination, exchange or surrender will result in the addition of 1.08 shares to the share reserve of this Plan. Upon the exercise of any Award granted in

tandem with any other Awards, such related Awards shall be canceled to the extent of the number of Shares as to which the Award is exercised. If any shares subject to an Award are not delivered to a Participant because the Award is exercised through

a reduction of shares subject to the Award (i.e., “net exercised”), the number of shares that are not delivered to the Participant shall not remain available for issuance under the Plan. Also, any shares withheld or reacquired by the

Company pursuant to the exercise of an option or SAR or as consideration for the exercise of an option or SAR, and any shares withheld or reacquired by the Company in satisfaction of the Company’s tax withholding obligation on an Award shall

not again become available for issuance under the Plan.

(b) In the event that the Committee shall determine that any dividend in Shares,

recapitalization, Share split, reverse split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, spin-off, combination, repurchase, share exchange, extraordinary distribution or other similar corporate transaction or

event, affects the Shares such that an adjustment is appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the rights of Eligible Persons under this Plan, then the Committee shall make such equitable changes or adjustments as it deems

appropriate and, in such manner as it may deem equitable, (i) adjust any or all of (w) the number and kind of shares which may thereafter be issued under this Plan, (x) the number and kind of shares, other securities or other

consideration issued or issuable in respect of outstanding Awards, and (y) the exercise price, grant price, or purchase price relating to any Award, or (ii) provide for a distribution of cash or property in respect of any Award;

provided, however, in each case that, with respect to ISOs, such adjustment shall be made in accordance with Section 424(a) of the Code, unless the Committee determines otherwise; provided, further, that no

adjustment shall be made pursuant to this Section 4(b) that causes any Award that is not otherwise deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code to be treated as deferred compensation pursuant to Section 409A of the Code.

In addition, the Committee is authorized to make adjustments in the terms and conditions of, and the criteria and performance objectives, if any, included in, Awards in recognition of unusual or non-recurring

events (including events described in the preceding sentence) affecting the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate or the financial statements of the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate, or in response to changes in applicable laws, regulations,

or accounting principles.

(c) Any Shares distributed pursuant to an Award may consist, in whole or in part, of authorized and unissued

Shares or treasury Shares including Shares acquired by purchase in the open market or in private transactions.

(d) Shares of Plans

Acquired in Certain Transactions. Subject to the listing rules of the stock exchange, if any, on which the Share is listed, a number of shares under a pre-existing shareholder-approved plan of an entity

directly or indirectly acquired by the Company or any Affiliate as a result of a merger, consolidation or acquisition equal to the shares remaining available for delivery under such pre-existing

shareholder-approved plan as of the date of the consummation of such transaction (as appropriately adjusted to reflect such transaction) may, if and to the extent

permitted by the Board, be delivered with respect to Awards under the Plan and such shares shall not reduce the number of Shares available for issuance under the Plan pursuant to

Section 4(a); provided, however, that such Awards shall not be made after the date awards or grants could have otherwise been made under the terms of such pre-existing shareholder-approved

plan, absent the transaction.

(e) Non-Employee Director Aggregate Compensation Limit. The

aggregate value of all compensation granted or paid, as applicable, to any individual for service as a non-employee director with respect to any period commencing on the date of the Company’s annual

meeting of stockholders for a particular year and ending on the day immediately prior to the date of the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders for the next subsequent year, including Awards granted and cash fees paid by the Company to such non-employee director, will not exceed $750,000 in total value, calculating the value of any Awards based on the grant date fair value of such Awards for financial reporting purposes.

5. Specific Terms of Awards.

(a)

General. Awards may be granted on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 5. In addition, the Committee may impose on any Award or the exercise thereof, at the date of grant or thereafter (subject to Section 8(d)), such

additional terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the provisions of this Plan, as the Committee shall determine, including terms regarding forfeiture of Awards or continued exercisability of Awards in the event of Termination of Service by the

Eligible Person.

(b) Options. The Committee is authorized to grant Options, which may be NQSOs or ISOs, to Eligible Persons on the

following terms and conditions:

(i) Exercise Price. The exercise price per Share purchasable under an Option shall be determined by

the Committee; provided, however, that the exercise price per Share of an Option shall not be less than the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant of the Option. The Committee may, without limitation, set an exercise price

that is based upon achievement of performance criteria if deemed appropriate by the Committee.

(ii) Option Term. The term of each

Option shall be determined by the Committee; provided, however, that such term shall not be longer than ten years from the date of grant of the Option.

(iii) Time and Method of Exercise. The Committee shall determine at the date of grant or thereafter the time or times at which an

Option may be exercised in whole or in part (including upon achievement of performance criteria if deemed appropriate by the Committee), the methods by which such exercise price may be paid or deemed to be paid (including broker-assisted exercise

arrangements), the form of such payment (including cash, Shares or other property), and the methods by which Shares will be delivered or deemed to be delivered to Eligible Persons.

(iv) ISOs. The terms of any ISO granted under this Plan shall comply in all respects with the provisions of Section 422 of the

Code, including the requirement that the ISO shall be granted within ten years from the earlier of the date of adoption or stockholder approval of this Plan. ISOs may only be granted to employees of the Company or a parent or subsidiary corporation

(as defined in Section 424 of the Code). In the case of the grant of an ISO to any Participant owning stock possessing more than 10% of the combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company, the exercise price of such Option must be

at least 110% of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant, and the Option must expire within a period of not more than five years from the date of grant.

(c) SARs. The Committee is authorized to grant SARs (Stock Appreciation Rights) to Eligible Persons on the following terms and

conditions:

(i) Right to Payment. An SAR shall confer on the Eligible Person to whom it is granted a right to receive with respect

to each Share subject thereto, upon exercise thereof, the excess of (A) the Fair Market Value of one Share on the date of exercise over (B) the exercise price per Share of the SAR, as determined by the Committee as of the date of grant of

the SAR (which shall not be less than the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant of the SAR and, in the case of an SAR granted in tandem with an Option, shall be equal to the exercise price of the underlying Option).

(ii) Other Terms. The Committee shall determine, at the time of grant or thereafter,

the time or times at which an SAR may be exercised in whole or in part (which shall not be more than ten years after the date of grant of the SAR), the method of exercise, method of settlement, form of consideration payable in settlement, method by

which Shares will be delivered or deemed to be delivered to Eligible Persons, whether or not an SAR shall be in tandem with any other Award, and any other terms and conditions of any SAR. Unless the Committee determines otherwise, an SAR

(A) granted in tandem with an NQSO may be granted at the time of grant of the related NQSO or at any time thereafter and (B) granted in tandem with an ISO may only be granted at the time of grant of the related ISO.

(d) Restricted Shares. The Committee is authorized to grant Restricted Shares to Eligible Persons on the following terms and

conditions:

(i) Issuance and Restrictions. Restricted Shares shall be subject to such restrictions on transferability and other

restrictions, if any, as the Committee may impose at the date of grant or thereafter, which restrictions may lapse separately or in combination at such times, under such circumstances (including upon achievement of performance criteria if deemed

appropriate by the Committee), in such installments, or otherwise, as the Committee may determine. Except to the extent restricted under the Award Agreement relating to the Restricted Shares, an Eligible Person granted Restricted Shares shall have

all of the rights of a stockholder including the right to vote Restricted Shares and the right to receive dividends thereon.

(ii)

Certificates for Shares. Restricted Shares granted under this Plan may be evidenced in such manner as the Committee shall determine. If certificates representing Restricted Shares are registered in the name of the Eligible Person, such

certificates shall bear an appropriate legend referring to the terms, conditions, and restrictions applicable to such Restricted Shares, and, unless otherwise determined by the Committee, the Company shall retain physical possession of the

certificate and the Participant shall deliver a stock power to the Company, endorsed in blank, relating to the Restricted Shares.

(iii)

Dividends. Dividends paid on Restricted Shares shall be accrued in cash or in restricted or unrestricted Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount of such dividends. Shares distributed in connection with a Share split or dividend

in Shares and cash or other property distributed as a dividend shall be subject to restrictions and a risk of forfeiture to the same extent as the Restricted Shares with respect to which such Shares or other property has been distributed.

(e) Restricted Stock Units. The Committee is authorized to grant Restricted Stock Units to Eligible Persons, subject to the following

terms and conditions:

(i) Award and Restrictions. Delivery of Shares or cash, as the case may be, will occur upon expiration of the

deferral period specified for Restricted Stock Units by the Committee (or, if permitted by the Committee, as elected by the Eligible Person). In addition, Restricted Stock Units shall be subject to such restrictions as the Committee may impose, if

any (including the achievement of performance criteria if deemed appropriate by the Committee), at the date of grant or thereafter, which restrictions may lapse at the expiration of the deferral period or at earlier or later specified times,

separately or in combination, in installments or otherwise, as the Committee may determine.

(ii) Dividend Equivalents. Unless

otherwise determined by the Committee at the date of grant, Dividend Equivalents on the specified number of Shares covered by a Restricted Stock Unit shall be either (A) accrued in cash or in restricted or unrestricted Shares having a Fair

Market Value equal to the amount of such dividends, or (B) deferred with respect to such Restricted Stock Unit and the amount or value thereof automatically deemed reinvested in additional Restricted Stock Units or other Awards, as the

Committee shall determine; provided, however, that Dividend Equivalents shall be subject to all conditions and restrictions of the underlying Restricted Stock Units to which they relate.

(f) Performance Shares and Performance Units. The Committee is authorized to grant

Performance Shares or Performance Units or both to Eligible Persons on the following terms and conditions:

(i) Performance Period.

The Committee shall determine a performance period (the “Performance Period”) of one or more years or other periods and shall determine the performance objectives for grants of Performance Shares and Performance Units. Performance

objectives may vary from Eligible Person to Eligible Person and shall be based upon the performance criteria as the Committee may deem appropriate. The performance objectives may be determined by reference to the performance of the Company, or of a

Subsidiary or Affiliate, or of a division or unit of any of the foregoing. Performance Periods may overlap and Eligible Persons may participate simultaneously with respect to Performance Shares and Performance Units for which different Performance

Periods are prescribed.

(ii) Award Value. At the beginning of a Performance Period, the Committee shall determine for each

Eligible Person or group of Eligible Persons with respect to that Performance Period the range of number of Shares, if any, in the case of Performance Shares, and either the range of number of Shares or the range of dollar values, if any, in the

case of Performance Units, which may be fixed or may vary in accordance with such performance or other criteria specified by the Committee, which shall be paid to an Eligible Person as an Award if the relevant measure of Company performance for the

Performance Period is met.

(iii) Significant Events. If during the course of a Performance Period there shall occur significant

events as determined by the Committee which the Committee expects to have a substantial effect on a performance objective during such period, the Committee may revise such objective or adjust the Company’s performance with respect to such

performance objective, in each case, in its sole discretion.

(iv) Payment. Each Performance Share or Performance Unit may be paid

in whole Shares, or cash, or a combination of Shares and cash either as a lump sum payment or in installments, all as the Committee shall determine, at the time of grant of the Performance Share or Performance Unit or otherwise, commencing at the

time determined by the Committee.

(v) Restriction on Dividends. No dividends or Dividend Equivalents shall be paid on any

Performance Share or Performance Unit until such time (if ever) as the performance criteria associated therewith have been met.

(g)

Dividend Equivalents. The Committee is authorized to grant Dividend Equivalents to Eligible Persons. The Committee may provide, at the date of grant or thereafter, that Dividend Equivalents shall be paid or distributed when accrued or shall

be deemed to have been reinvested in additional Shares, or other investment vehicles as the Committee may specify; provided, however, that Dividend Equivalents (other than freestanding Dividend Equivalents) shall be subject to all

conditions and restrictions of any underlying Awards to which they relate.

(h) Other Stock-Based Awards. The Committee is

authorized, subject to limitations under applicable law, to grant to Eligible Persons such other Awards that may be denominated or payable in, valued in whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise based on, or related to, Shares, as deemed by the

Committee to be consistent with the purposes of this Plan, including unrestricted shares awarded purely as a “bonus” and not subject to any restrictions or conditions, other rights convertible or exchangeable into Shares, purchase rights

for Shares, Awards with value and payment contingent upon performance of the Company or any other factors designated by the Committee, and Awards valued by reference to the performance of specified Subsidiaries or Affiliates. The Committee shall

determine the terms and conditions of such Awards at date of grant or thereafter. Shares delivered pursuant to an Award in the nature of a purchase right granted under this Section 5(h) shall be purchased for such consideration, paid for at

such times, by such methods, and in such forms, including cash, Shares, notes or other property, as the Committee shall determine. Cash awards, as an element of or supplement to any other Award under this Plan, shall also be authorized pursuant to

this Section 5(h).

6. Certain Provisions Applicable to Awards.

(a) Stand-Alone, Additional, Tandem and Substitute Awards. Awards granted under this Plan may, in the discretion of the Committee, be

granted to Eligible Persons either alone or in addition to, in tandem with, or in exchange or substitution for, any other Award granted under this Plan or any award granted under any other plan or agreement of the Company, any Subsidiary or

Affiliate, or any business entity to be acquired by the Company or a Subsidiary or Affiliate, or any other right of an Eligible Person to receive payment from the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate. Awards may be granted in addition to or in

tandem with such other Awards or awards and may be granted either as of the same time as, or a different time from, the grant of such other Awards or awards. Subject to Section 3(d), the per Share exercise price of any Option, or grant price of

any SAR, which is granted in connection with the substitution of awards granted under any other plan or agreement of the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate, or any business entity to be acquired by the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate,

shall be determined by the Committee, in its discretion.

(b) Form of Payment Under Awards. Subject to the terms of this Plan and

any applicable Award Agreement, payments to be made by the Company or a Subsidiary or Affiliate upon the grant, maturation, or exercise of an Award may be made in such forms as the Committee shall determine at the date of grant or thereafter,

including cash, Shares, notes or other property, and may be made in a single payment or transfer, in installments, or on a deferred basis, provided that any such deferral shall be intended to be in compliance with Section 409A of the

Code. The Committee may make rules relating to installment or deferred payments with respect to Awards, including the rate of interest to be credited with respect to such payments.

(c) Nontransferability. Awards shall not be transferable by an Eligible Person except by will or the laws of descent and distribution

(except pursuant to a Beneficiary designation) and shall be exercisable during the lifetime of an Eligible Person only by such Eligible Person or his or her guardian or legal representative, provided that Awards that are NQSOs may be

transferred or assigned by the optionee to the optionee’s “family member” (as such term is defined in the Registration Statement on Form S-8), provided, further, that

(i) there may be no consideration for any such transfer and (ii) subsequent transfers of the transferred NQSO will be prohibited other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. An Eligible Person’s rights under this Plan

may not be pledged, mortgaged, hypothecated, or otherwise encumbered, and shall not be subject to claims of the Eligible Person’s creditors.

(d) Noncompetition. The Committee may, by way of the Award Agreements or otherwise, establish such other terms, conditions,

restrictions and/or limitations, if any, of any Award, provided they are not inconsistent with this Plan, including the requirement that the Participant not engage in competition with, solicit customers or employees of, or disclose or use

confidential information of the Company or its Affiliates.

7. Change in Control Provisions.

Unless otherwise provided by the Committee or as set forth in the applicable Award Agreement or in any other agreement, in the event of a Change in Control,

each outstanding Award shall either be assumed by the successor company or parent thereof or be replaced with comparable awards with respect to capital stock of the successor company or parent thereof, such comparability to be determined by the

Committee; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, if an outstanding Award is not so assumed or replaced, then (i) such outstanding Award pursuant to which the Participant may have rights the exercise of which is

restricted or limited, shall become fully exercisable at the time of the Change in Control, and (ii) unless the right to lapse of restrictions or limitations is waived or deferred by a Participant prior to such lapse, all restrictions or

limitations (including risks of forfeiture and deferrals) on such outstanding Award subject to restrictions or limitations under this Plan shall lapse, and unless otherwise determined by the Committee, all performance criteria and other conditions

to payment of Awards under which payments of cash, Shares or other property are subject to conditions shall be deemed to be achieved or fulfilled at target (if applicable) and shall be waived by the Company at the time of the Change in Control. In

no event shall any action be taken pursuant to this Section 7 that would change the payment or settlement date of an Award in a manner that would result in the imposition of any additional taxes or penalties pursuant to Section 409A of the

Code.

8. General Provisions.

(a) Compliance with Legal and Trading Requirements. This Plan, the granting and exercising of Awards thereunder, and the other

obligations of the Company under this Plan and any Award Agreement, shall be subject to all applicable federal, state and foreign laws, rules and regulations, and to such approvals by any stock exchange, regulatory or governmental agency as may be

required. The Company, in its discretion, may postpone the issuance or delivery of Shares under any Award until completion of such stock exchange or market system listing or

registration or qualification of such Shares or any required action under any state, federal or foreign law, rule or regulation as the Company may consider appropriate, and may require any

Participant to make such representations and furnish such information as it may consider appropriate in connection with the issuance or delivery of Shares in compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations. No provisions of this Plan shall be

interpreted or construed to obligate the Company to register any Shares under federal, state or foreign law. The Shares issued under this Plan may be subject to such other restrictions on transfer as determined by the Committee, including

restrictions under the Company’s insider trading policy.

(b) No Right to Continued Employment or Service. Neither this Plan

nor any action taken thereunder shall be construed as giving any employee, consultant or director the right to be retained in the employ or service of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, nor shall it interfere in any way with the

right of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates to terminate any employee’s, consultant’s or director’s employment or service at any time.

(c) Taxes. The Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate is authorized to withhold from any Award granted, any payment relating to an

Award under this Plan, including from a distribution of Shares, or any payroll or other payment to an Eligible Person, amounts of withholding and other taxes due in connection with any transaction involving an Award, and to take such other action as

the Committee may deem advisable to enable the Company and Eligible Persons to satisfy obligations for the payment of withholding taxes and other tax obligations relating to any Award. This authority shall include authority to withhold or receive

Shares or other property and to make cash payments in respect thereof in satisfaction of an Eligible Person’s tax obligations.

(d)

Changes to this Plan and Awards. The Board may amend, alter, suspend, discontinue, or terminate this Plan or the Committee’s authority to grant Awards under this Plan without the consent of stockholders of the Company or Participants,

except that any such amendment or alteration shall be subject to the approval of the Company’s stockholders (i) to the extent such stockholder approval is required under the rules of any stock exchange or automated quotation system on

which the Shares may then be listed or quoted, or (ii) as it applies to ISOs, to the extent such stockholder approval is required under Section 422 of the Code; provided, however, that, without the consent of an affected

Participant, no amendment, alteration, suspension, discontinuation, or termination of this Plan may materially and adversely affect the rights of such Participant under any Award theretofore granted to him or her. The Committee may waive any

conditions or rights under, amend any terms of, or amend, alter, suspend, discontinue or terminate, any Award theretofore granted, prospectively or retrospectively; provided, however, that, without the consent of a Participant, no

amendment, alteration, suspension, discontinuation or termination of any Award may materially and adversely affect the rights of such Participant under such Award.

(e) No Rights to Awards; No Stockholder Rights. No Eligible Person shall have any claim to be granted any Award under this Plan, and

there is no obligation for uniformity of treatment of Eligible Persons. No Award shall confer on any Eligible Person any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company unless and until Shares are duly issued or transferred to the Eligible Person in

accordance with the terms of the Award.

(f) Unfunded Status of Awards. This Plan is intended to constitute an

“unfunded” plan for incentive compensation. With respect to any payments not yet made to a Participant pursuant to an Award, nothing contained in this Plan or any Award shall give any such Participant any rights that are greater than

those of a general creditor of the Company; provided, however, that the Committee may authorize the creation of trusts or make other arrangements to meet the Company’s obligations under this Plan to deliver cash, Shares, other

Awards, or other property pursuant to any Award, which trusts or other arrangements shall be consistent with the “unfunded” status of this Plan unless the Committee otherwise determines with the consent of each affected Participant.

(g) Nonexclusivity of this Plan. Neither the adoption of this Plan by the Board nor its submission to the stockholders of the

Company for approval shall be construed as creating any limitations on the power of the Board to adopt such other incentive arrangements as it may deem desirable, including the granting of options and other awards otherwise than under this Plan, and

such arrangements may be either applicable generally or only in specific cases.

(h) Not Compensation for Benefit Plans. No Award

payable under this Plan shall be deemed salary or compensation for the purpose of computing benefits under any benefit plan or other arrangement of the Company for the benefit of its employees, consultants or directors unless the Company shall

determine otherwise.

(i) No Fractional Shares. No fractional Shares shall be issued or delivered pursuant

to this Plan or any Award. The Committee shall determine whether cash, other Awards, or other property shall be issued or paid in lieu of such fractional Shares or whether such fractional Shares or any rights thereto shall be forfeited or otherwise

eliminated.

(j) Governing Law. The validity, construction, and effect of this Plan, any rules and regulations relating to this

Plan, and any Award Agreement shall be determined in accordance with the laws of the State of Nevada without giving effect to principles of conflict of laws thereof.

(k) Plan Termination. This Plan shall terminate as to future awards on March 16, 2036 unless earlier terminated or extended by

amendment.

(l) Section 409A. Awards under this Plan are intended to comply with, or be exempt from, the applicable requirements of

Section 409A of the Code and shall be limited, construed and interpreted in accordance with such intent. Although the Company does not guarantee any particular tax treatment, to the extent that any Award is subject to Section 409A of the

Code, it shall be paid in a manner that is intended to comply with Section 409A of the Code, including regulations and any other guidance issued by the Secretary of the Treasury and the Internal Revenue Service with respect thereto. In no event

whatsoever shall the Company be liable for any additional tax, interest or penalties that may be imposed on a Participant by Section 409A of the Code or any damages for failing to comply with Section 409A of the Code.

(m) Clawback Policy. Awards granted under the Plan will be subject to recoupment in accordance with the Company’s

Incentive Compensation Recoupment Policy or any other clawback policy adopted by the Company. In addition, the Committee may impose such other clawback, recovery or recoupment provisions in an Award Agreement as the Committee determines necessary or

appropriate, including a reacquisition right in respect of previously acquired Shares, the proceeds received from any sale of such Shares or any other cash or property upon the occurrence of misconduct. No recovery of compensation under such a

clawback policy will be an event giving rise to a right to resign for “good reason” or be deemed a “constructive termination” (or any similar term) as such terms are used in any agreement between any Participant and the

Company.

(n) Interpretation. The titles and headings of the sections in this Plan are for convenience of reference only. In the

event of any conflict, the text of this Plan, rather than such titles or headings, shall control. Words in the masculine gender shall include the feminine gender, and where appropriate, the plural shall include the singular, and the singular shall

include the plural. All references to “including” shall be construed as meaning “including without limitation.” References herein to any law, agreement, instrument or other document means such law, agreement, instrument or

other document as amended, supplemented and modified from time to time to the extent permitted by the provisions thereof and not prohibited by the Plan. Any reference in this Plan or in any Award Agreement to a provision of law or to a rule or

regulation shall be deemed to include any successor law, rule or regulation of similar effect or applicability and all regulations promulgated under such law.

(or, if no such prices were reported on that date, on the last date such prices were reported), as reported in The Wall Street Journal or such other source as the Administrator deems reliable; or

(iii) In the absence of an established market for the Common Stock of the type described in (i) and (ii), above, its Fair

Market Value thereof shall be determined by the Administrator in good faith.

(o) “Offer Period” means an Offer Period

established pursuant to Section 4 hereof.

(p) “Offering” means an offer under this Plan of an Option that may be

exercised during an Offer Period. For purposes of the Plan, all Employees eligible to participate pursuant to Section 3 will be deemed to participate in the same Offering unless the Administrator otherwise determines that Employees of the

Company or one or more Designated Subsidiaries will be deemed to participate in separate Offerings, in which case the Offerings will be considered separate even if the dates of each such Offering are identical and the provisions of the Plan will

separately apply to each Offering. To the extent permitted by Section 1.423-2(a)(1) of the Treasury regulations issued under Section 423 of the Code, the terms of each Offering need not be identical

provided that the terms of the Plan and the Offering together satisfy Sections 1.423-2(a)(2) and (a)(3) of such Treasury regulations.

(q) “Offering Date” means the first day of each Offer Period.

(r) “Option” means, with respect to each Offer Period, a right to purchase shares of Common Stock on the Exercise Date for

such Offer Period in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Plan.

(s) “Parent” means a “parent

corporation” of the Company, whether now or hereafter existing, as defined in Section 424(e) of the Code.

(t)

“Participant” means an Employee of the Company or Designated Subsidiary who has enrolled in the Plan as set forth in Section 5(a).

(u) “Purchase Period” means a period during an Offer Period during which shares of Common Stock may be purchased in

accordance with the terms of the Plan, as established by the Administrator. The first Purchase Period shall commence on the Effective Date and terminate on the next following May 31, with each subsequent Purchase Period commencing on

June 1 and December 1 of each year and terminating on the next following November 30 and May 31, respectively, unless otherwise determined by the Administrator.

(v) “Purchase Price” means an amount equal to eighty-five percent (85%) of the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock

on the Offering Date or on the Exercise Date, whichever is lower.

(w) “Reserves” means, as of any date, the sum of:

(i) the number of shares of Common Stock covered by each then outstanding Option under the Plan which has not yet been exercised; and (2ii) the number of shares of Common Stock which have been authorized for issuance under the Plan but not then

subject to an outstanding Option.

(x) “Subsidiary” means a “subsidiary corporation” of the Company,

whether now or hereafter existing, as defined in Section 424(f) of the Code.

3. Eligibility.

(a) General. Subject to the further limitations in Sections 3(b) and 3(c), any individual who is an Employee on a given Offering Date

shall be eligible to participate in the Plan for the Offer Period commencing with such Offering Date. No individual who is not an Employee shall be eligible to participate in the Plan.

(b) Limitations on Grant and Accrual. Any provisions of the Plan to the contrary notwithstanding, no Employee shall be granted an

Option under the Plan: (i) if, immediately after the grant, such Employee (taking into account stock owned by any other person whose stock would be attributed to such Employee pursuant to Section 424(d) of the Code) would own stock and/or

hold outstanding options to purchase stock possessing five percent (5%) or more of the total combined voting power or value of all classes of stock of the Company or of any Parent or Subsidiary; or (ii) which permits the Employee’s rights

to purchase stock under all employee stock purchase plans of the Company and its Parents or Subsidiaries to accrue at a rate which exceeds $25,000 worth of stock (determined at the Fair Market Value of the shares at the time such Option is granted)

for each calendar year in which such Option is outstanding at any time. The determination of the accrual of the right to purchase stock shall be made in accordance with Section 423(b)(8) of the Code and the regulations thereunder.

(c) Other Limits on Eligibility. Notwithstanding Section 3(a), unless otherwise determined prior to the applicable Offer Date, the

following Employees shall not be eligible to participate in the Plan for any relevant Offer Period: (i) Employees whose customary employment is 20 hours or less per week; (ii) Employees whose customary employment is for not more than five

months in any calendar year; (iii) Employees who have not been employed for such continuous period preceding the Offering Date as the Administrator may require, but in no event shall the required period of continuous employment be equal to or

greater than two years; and (iv) Employees who are citizens or residents of a non-U.S. jurisdiction (without regard to whether he or she is also a citizen of the United States or a resident alien (within

the meaning of Section 7701(b)(1)(A) of the Code)) if his or her participation is prohibited under the laws of the applicable non-U.S. jurisdiction or if complying with the laws of the applicable non-U.S. jurisdiction would cause the Plan or an Offering to violate Section 423 of the Code.

4. Offer

Periods.

(a) The Plan shall be implemented through overlapping or consecutive Offer Periods until such time as (i) the maximum

number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the Plan shall have been purchased or (ii) the Plan shall have been sooner terminated in accordance with Section 19 hereof. The maximum duration of an Offer Period shall be 27

months. The Plan shall be initially implemented through consecutive Offer Periods of 24 months duration, with the first Offer Period to commence on December 1, 2025 and end on November 30, 2027.

(b) A Participant shall be granted a separate Option for each Offer Period in which such Participant participates. The Option shall be granted

on the Offering Date and shall be automatically exercised in successive installments on the Exercise Date(s) ending within the Offer Period.

(c) If on the first day of any Purchase Period in an Offer Period in which an Employee is a Participant, the Fair Market Value of the Common

Stock is less than the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the Offering Date of the Offer Period (after taking into account any adjustment during the Offer Period pursuant to Section 18(a)), the Offer Period shall be terminated

automatically and the Participant shall be enrolled automatically in the new Offer Period which has its first Purchase Period commencing on that date and shall end on the same date as the original Offer Period that was terminated automatically,

provided the Employee is eligible to participate in the Plan on that date and has not elected to terminate participation in the Plan.

4

(d) Except as specifically provided herein, the acquisition of Common Stock through

participation in the Plan for any Offer Period shall neither limit nor require the acquisition of Common Stock by a Participant in any subsequent Offer Period.

5. Participation.

(a) An eligible

Employee may become a Participant in the Plan by submitting an authorization of payroll deduction (using such form or method (including electronic forms) as the Administrator may designate from time to time) as of a date in advance of the Offering

Date for the Offer Period in which such participation will commence, as required by the Administrator for all eligible Employees with respect to a given Offer Period.

(b) Payroll deductions for a Participant shall commence with the first partial or full payroll period beginning on the Offering Date and shall

end on the last complete payroll period during the Offer Period, unless sooner terminated by the Participant as provided in Section 10.

6.

Payroll Deductions.

(a) At the time a Participant enrolls in the Plan, the Participant shall elect to have payroll deductions made

during the Offer Period in amounts between one percent (1%) and not exceeding twelve percent (12%) of the Compensation which the Participant receives during the Offer Period (or such other minimum or maximum percentage of compensation as determined

by the Administrator in its sole discretion, prior to the commencement of an applicable Offering Period).

(b) All payroll deductions made

for a Participant shall be credited to the Participant’s account under the Plan and will be withheld in whole percentages only. A Participant may not make any additional payments into such account.

(c) A Participant may discontinue participation in the Plan as provided in Section 10 or may decrease the rate of payroll deductions

during the Offer Period by submitting notice of a change of status (using such form or method (including electronic forms) as the Administrator may designate from time to time) authorizing a decrease in the payroll deduction rate. Any decrease in

the rate of a Participant’s payroll deductions shall be effective as soon as administratively practicable following the date of the request. A Participant’s payroll deduction authorization (as modified by any change of status notice)

shall remain in effect for successive Offer Periods unless terminated as provided in Section 10. The Administrator shall be authorized to limit the number of payroll deduction rate changes during any Offer Period.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent necessary to comply with Section 423(b)(8) of the Code and Section 3(b) herein, a

Participant’s payroll deductions shall be decreased to 0%. Payroll deductions shall recommence at the rate provided in such Participant’s payroll deduction authorization, as amended, when permitted under Section 423(b)(8) of the

Code and Section 3(b), unless such participation is sooner terminated by the Participant as provided in Section 10.

7. Grant of Option.

On the Offering Date, each Participant shall be granted an Option to purchase (at the applicable Purchase Price) shares of Common Stock; provided: (i) that such Option shall be subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 3(b), 6 and 12;

(ii) until otherwise determined by the Administrator, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock a Participant shall be permitted to purchase in any Offer Period shall be 5,000, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 18 or such other

maximum determined

5

by the Administrator in its sole discretion prior to the commencement of the Offer Period; and (iii) that such Option shall be subject to such other terms and conditions (applied on a

uniform and nondiscriminatory basis), as the Administrator shall determine from time to time. Exercise of the Option shall occur as provided in Section 8, unless the Participant has withdrawn pursuant to Section 10, and the Option, to the

extent not exercised, shall expire on the last day of the Offer Period with respect to which such Option was granted. Notwithstanding the foregoing, shares subject to the Option may only be purchased with accumulated payroll deductions credited to a

Participant’s account in accordance with Section 6. In addition, to the extent an Option is not exercised on each Exercise Date, the Option shall lapse and thereafter cease to be exercisable.

8. Exercise of Option.

(a) Unless a

Participant withdraws from the Plan as provided in Section 10, the Participant’s Option for the purchase of shares of Common Stock will be exercised automatically on each Exercise Date, by applying the accumulated payroll deductions in

the Participant’s account to purchase the number of full shares subject to the Option by dividing such Participant’s payroll deductions accumulated prior to such Exercise Date and retained in the Participant’s account as of the

Exercise Date by the applicable Purchase Price. No fractional shares will be purchased; any payroll deductions accumulated in a Participant’s account which are not sufficient to purchase a full share shall be carried over to the next Purchase

Period or Offer Period, whichever applies, or returned to the Participant, if the Participant withdraws from the Plan. In addition, any amount remaining in a Participant’s account following the purchase of shares on the Exercise Date due to

the application of Section 423(b)(8) of the Code or Section 7, shall be returned to the Participant and shall not be carried over to the next Offer Period or Purchase Period. During a Participant’s lifetime, a Participant’s

Option to purchase shares hereunder is exercisable only by the Participant.

(b) At the time the Option is exercised, in whole or in part,

or at the time some or all of the Common Stock issued under the Plan is disposed of (or any other time that a taxable event related to the Plan occurs), the Participant must make adequate provision for the Company’s federal, state, local, or

any other tax liability payable to any authority, national insurance, social security, or other tax withholding obligations, if any, that arise upon the exercise of the Option or the disposition of the Common Stock (or any other time that a taxable

event related to the Plan occurs). At any time, the Company may, but will not be obligated to, withhold from the Participant’s compensation the amount necessary for the Company to meet applicable withholding obligations, including any

withholding required to make available to the Company any tax deductions or benefits attributable to sale or early disposition of Common Stock by the Participant. In addition, the Company may, but will not be obligated to, withhold from the proceeds

of the sale of Common Stock or any other method of withholding the Company deems appropriate to the extent permitted by Treasury Regulation Section 1.423-2(f).

9. Delivery. Upon receipt of a request from a Participant after each Exercise Date on which a purchase of shares occurs, the Company shall arrange for

the delivery to such Participant, as soon as administratively practicable, of the shares purchased upon exercise of the Participant’s Option.

10.

Withdrawal; Termination of Employment.

(a) A Participant may, by giving notice to the Company (using such form or method

(including electronic forms) as the Administrator may designate from time to time), either: (i) withdraw all but not less than all the payroll deductions credited to the Participant’s account and not yet used to exercise the

Participant’s Option under the Plan; or (ii) terminate future payroll deductions, but allow accumulated payroll deductions to be used to exercise the Participant’s Option under the Plan at any time. If the Participant elects

withdrawal alternative (i) described above, all of the Participant’s payroll deductions credited to the Participant’s account will be paid to such Participant as soon as administratively practicable

6

after receipt of notice of withdrawal, such Participant’s Option for the Offer Period will be automatically terminated, and no further payroll deductions for the purchase of shares will be

made during the Offer Period. If the Participant elects withdrawal alternative (ii) described above, no further payroll deductions for the purchase of shares will be made during the Offer Period, all of the Participant’s payroll

deductions credited to the Participant’s account will be applied to the exercise of the Participant’s Option on the next Exercise Date (subject to Sections 3(b), 6, 7 and 12), and after such Exercise Date, such Participant’s Option

for the Offer Period will be automatically terminated and all remaining accumulated payroll deduction amounts shall be returned to the Participant. If a Participant withdraws from an Offer Period, payroll deductions will not resume at the beginning

of the succeeding Offer Period unless the Participant enrolls in such succeeding Offer Period. The Administrator may, in its discretion and on a uniform and nondiscriminatory basis, specify procedures for withdrawal.

(b) Upon termination of a Participant’s employment relationship (as described in Section 2(k)) prior to the next scheduled Exercise

Date, the payroll deductions credited to such Participant’s account during the Offer Period but not yet used to exercise the Option will be returned to such Participant or, in the case of his/her death, to the person or persons entitled

thereto under Section 14, and such Participant’s Option will be automatically terminated without exercise of any portion of such Option.

11.

Interest. No interest shall accrue on the payroll deductions credited to a Participant’s account under the Plan.

12. Stock.

(a) The maximum number of shares of Common Stock which shall be made available for sale under the Plan shall be 500,000 shares, subject to

adjustment upon changes in capitalization of the Company as provided in Section 18. If the Administrator determines that on a given Exercise Date the number of shares with respect to which Options are to be exercised may exceed: (x) the

number of shares then available for sale under the Plan; or (y) the number of shares available for sale under the Plan on the Offering Date(s) of one or more of the Offer Periods in which such Exercise Date is to occur, the Administrator may

make a pro rata allocation of the shares remaining available for purchase on such Offering Dates or Exercise Date, as applicable, and shall either continue the Offer Period then in effect or terminate any one or more Offer Periods then in effect

pursuant to Section 19, below. Such allocation method shall be “bottom up,” with the result that all Option exercises for one share shall be satisfied first, followed by all exercises for two shares, and so on, until all available

shares have been exhausted. Any amount remaining in a Participant’s payroll account following such allocation shall be returned to the Participant and shall not be carried over to any future Purchase Period or Offer Period, as determined by

the Administrator.

(b) A Participant will have no interest or voting right in shares covered by the Participant’s Option until such

shares are actually purchased on the Participant’s behalf in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Plan. No adjustment shall be made for dividends, distributions or other rights for which the record date is prior to the date of such

purchase.

(c) Shares to be delivered to a Participant under the Plan will be registered in the name of the Participant.

13. Administration. The Plan shall be administered by the Administrator, which shall have full and exclusive discretionary authority to construe,

interpret and apply the terms of the Plan, to determine eligibility, to adjudicate all disputed claims filed under the Plan, and to designate separate Offerings for the eligible Employees of the Company and one or more Designated Subsidiaries, in

which case the Offerings will be considered separate even if the dates of each such Offering are identical and the provisions of the Plan will separately apply to each Offering. Every finding, decision and determination made by the Administrator

shall, to the full extent permitted by Applicable Law, be final and binding upon all persons.

7

14. Designation of Beneficiary.

(a) Each Participant may file a designation (using such form or method (including electronic forms) as the Administrator may designate from

time to time) of a beneficiary who is to receive any shares and cash, if any, from the Participant’s account under the Plan in the event of such Participant’s death. If a Participant is married and the designated beneficiary is not the

spouse, spousal consent shall be required for such designation to be effective.

(b) Such designation of beneficiary may be changed by the

Participant (and the Participant’s spouse, if any) at any time by written notice. In the event of the death of a Participant and in the absence of a beneficiary validly designated under the Plan who is living (or in existence) at the time of

such Participant’s death, the Company shall deliver such shares and/or cash to the executor or administrator of the estate of the Participant, or if no such executor or administrator has been appointed (to the knowledge of the Administrator),

the Administrator shall deliver such shares and/or cash to the spouse (or domestic partner, as determined by the Administrator) of the Participant, or if no spouse (or domestic partner) is known to the Administrator, then to the issue of the

Participant, such distribution to be made per stirpes (by right of representation), or if no issue are known to the Administrator, then to the heirs at law of the Participant determined in accordance with Section 27.

15. Transferability. No payroll deductions credited to a Participant’s account, Options granted hereunder, or any rights with regard to the

exercise of an Option or to receive shares under the Plan may be assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of in any way (other than by will, the laws of descent and distribution, or as provided in Section 14) by the Participant. Any

such attempt at assignment, transfer, pledge or other disposition shall be without effect, except that the Administrator may, in its sole discretion, treat such act as an election to withdraw funds from an Offer Period in accordance with

Section 10.

16. Use of Funds. All payroll deductions received or held by the Company under the Plan may be used by the Company for any

corporate purpose, and the Company shall not be obligated to segregate such payroll deductions or hold them exclusively for the benefit of Participants. All payroll deductions received or held by the Company may be subject to the claims of the

Company’s general creditors. Participants shall have the status of general unsecured creditors of the Company. Any amounts payable to Participants pursuant to the Plan shall be unfunded and unsecured obligations of the Company. The Company

shall retain at all times beneficial ownership of any investments which the Company may make to fulfill its payment obligations hereunder. Any investments or the creation or maintenance of any trust or any Participant account shall not create or

constitute a trust or fiduciary relationship between the Administrator, the Company or any Designated Subsidiary and a Participant, or otherwise create any vested or beneficial interest in any Participant or the Participant’s creditors in any

assets of the Company or a Designated Subsidiary. The Participants shall have no claim against the Company or any Designated Subsidiary for any changes in the value of any assets that may be invested or reinvested by the Company with respect to the

Plan.

17. Reports. Individual accounts will be maintained for each Participant in the Plan. Statements of account will be given to Participants at

least annually, which statements will set forth the amounts of payroll deductions, the Purchase Price, the number of shares purchased and the remaining cash balance, if any.

8

18. Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization; Corporate Transactions.

(a) Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization. Subject to any required action by the stockholders of the Company and subject to

Section 424 of the Code, the Administrator, in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan, shall, in such manner as it may deem equitable, adjust the Reserves, the

Purchase Price, the maximum number of shares that may be purchased in any Offer Period or Purchase Period, as well as any other terms that the Administrator determines require adjustment, for: (i) any increase or decrease in the number of

issued shares of Common Stock resulting from a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, combination or reclassification of the Common Stock; (ii) any other increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of Common Stock effected

without receipt of consideration by the Company; or (iii) as the Administrator may determine in its discretion, any other transaction with respect to Common Stock, including a corporate merger, consolidation, acquisition of property or stock,

separation (including a spin-off or other distribution of stock or property), reorganization, liquidation (whether partial or complete) or any similar transaction; provided, however, that conversion of any

convertible securities of the Company shall not be deemed to have been “effected without receipt of consideration.” Such adjustment, if any, shall be made by the Administrator and its determination shall be final, binding and conclusive.

Except as the Administrator determines, no issuance by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason hereof shall be made with respect to, the

Reserves and the Purchase Price.

(b) Corporate Transactions. In the event of a proposed Corporate Transaction, each Option under

the Plan shall be assumed by such successor corporation or a parent or subsidiary of such successor corporation, unless the Administrator, in the exercise of its sole discretion and in lieu of such assumption, determines to shorten the Offer Period

then in progress by setting a new Exercise Date (the “New Exercise Date”). If the Administrator shortens the Offer Period, then in progress in lieu of assumption in the event of a Corporate Transaction, the Administrator shall

notify each Participant in writing at least 10 business days prior to the New Exercise Date, that the Exercise Date for the Participant’s Option has been changed to the New Exercise Date and that either:

(i) the Participant’s Option will be exercised automatically on the New Exercise Date, unless prior to such date the

Participant has withdrawn from the Offer Period as provided in Section 10; or

(ii) the Company shall pay to the

Participant on the New Exercise Date an amount in cash, cash equivalents, or property as determined by the Administrator that is equal to the excess, if any, of (x) the Fair Market Value of the shares subject to the Option over (y) the

Purchase Price due had the Participant’s Option been exercised automatically under Section 18(b)(i) above. In addition, all remaining accumulated payroll deduction amounts shall be returned to the Participant.

(c) For purposes of Section 18(b), an Option granted under the Plan shall be deemed to be assumed if, in connection with the Corporate

Transaction, the Option is replaced with a comparable Option with respect to shares of capital stock of the successor corporation or Parent thereof. The determination of Option comparability shall be made by the Administrator prior to the Corporate

Transaction, and its determination shall be final, binding and conclusive on all persons.

19. Amendment or Termination.

(a) The Administrator may at any time and for any reason terminate or amend the Plan. Except as provided in Section 18, no such

termination can adversely affect Options previously granted, provided that the Plan or any one or more Offer Periods then in effect may be terminated by the Administrator on any Exercise Date or by the Administrator establishing a new Exercise Date

with respect to any Offer Period and/or Purchase Period then in progress if the Administrator determines that the termination of the Plan or

9

one or more Offer Periods is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. Except as provided in Section 18 and this Section 19, no amendment may make any change in any

Option theretofore granted which adversely affects the rights of any Participant without the consent of affected Participants. To the extent necessary to comply with Section 423 of the Code (or any successor rule or provision or any other

Applicable Law), the Company shall obtain stockholder approval of any amendment in such a manner and to such a degree as required.

(b)

Without stockholder consent and without regard to whether any Participant rights may be considered to have been “adversely affected,” the Administrator shall be entitled to limit the frequency and/or number of changes in the amount

withheld during Offer Periods, change the length of Purchase Periods within any Offer Period, determine the length of any Offer Period, determine whether Offer Periods shall be consecutive or overlapping, establish the exchange ratio applicable to

amounts withheld in a currency other than U.S. dollars, establish or change Plan or per Participant limits on share purchases, establish additional terms, conditions, rules or procedures to accommodate the rules or laws of applicable foreign

jurisdictions, permit payroll withholding in excess of the amount designated by a Participant in order to adjust for delays or mistakes in the Company’s processing of properly completed withholding elections, establish reasonable waiting and

adjustment periods and/or accounting and crediting procedures to ensure that amounts applied toward the purchase of Common Stock for each Participant properly correspond with amounts withheld from the Participant’s Compensation, and establish

such other limitations or procedures as the Administrator determines in its sole discretion advisable and which are consistent with the Plan, in each case to the extent consistent with the requirements of Section 423 of the Code and other

Applicable Laws.

20. Notices. All notices or other communications by a Participant to the Company under or in connection with the Plan shall be

deemed to have been duly given when received in the form specified by the Administrator at the location, or by the person, designated by the Administrator for the receipt thereof.

21. Conditions Upon Issuance of Shares. Shares shall not be issued with respect to an Option unless the exercise of such Option and the issuance and

delivery of such shares pursuant thereto shall comply with all Applicable Laws and shall be further subject to the approval of counsel for the Company with respect to such compliance. As a condition to the exercise of an Option, the Company may

require the Participant to represent and warrant at the time of any such exercise that the shares are being purchased only for investment and without any present intention to sell or distribute such shares if, in the opinion of counsel for the

Company, such a representation is required by any of the aforementioned Applicable Laws or is otherwise advisable. In addition, no Options shall be exercised or shares issued hereunder before the Plan has been approved by stockholders of the Company

as provided in Section 23.

22. Term of Plan. The Plan shall become effective upon the earlier to occur of its adoption by the Board or its

approval by the stockholders of the Company.

23. Stockholder Approval. Continuance of the Plan shall be subject to approval by the stockholders of

the Company within 12 months before or after the date the Plan is approved by the Board. Such stockholder approval shall be obtained in the degree and manner required under Applicable Laws.

24. No Employment Rights. The Plan does not, directly or indirectly, create any right for the benefit of any employee or class of employees to purchase

any shares under the Plan, or create in any employee or class of employees any right with respect to continuation of employment by the Company or a Designated Subsidiary, and it shall not be deemed to interfere in any way with such employer’s

right to terminate, or otherwise modify, an employee’s employment at any time.

10

25. No Effect on Retirement and Other Benefit Plans. Except as specifically provided in a retirement

or other benefit plan of the Company or a Designated Subsidiary, participation in the Plan shall not be deemed compensation for purposes of computing benefits or contributions under any retirement plan of the Company or a Designated Subsidiary, and

shall not affect any benefits under any other benefit plan of any kind or any benefit plan subsequently instituted under which the availability or amount of benefits is related to level of compensation. The Plan is not an “employee benefit

plan” under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended.

26. Effect of Plan. The provisions of the Plan shall, in

accordance with its terms, be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, all successors of each Participant, including such Participant’s estate and the executors, administrators or trustees thereof, heirs and legatees, and any receiver,

trustee in bankruptcy or representative of creditors of such Participant.

27. Governing Law. The Plan is to be construed in accordance with and

governed by the internal laws of the State of Nevada without giving effect to any choice of law rule that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction, except to the extent the internal laws of the State of Nevada are superseded by

the laws of the United States. Should any provision of the Plan be determined by a court of law to be illegal or unenforceable, the other provisions shall nevertheless remain effective and shall remain enforceable. Any reference in this Plan or in

any agreements or other documents hereunder to a provision of law or to a rule or regulation shall be deemed to include any successor law, rule, or regulation of similar effect or applicability.

28. Interpretation. Headings are given to the Sections and subsections of the Plan solely as a convenience to facilitate reference and shall not be

deemed in any way material or relevant to the construction or interpretation of the Plan or any provision thereof. Words in the masculine gender shall include the feminine gender, and where appropriate, the plural shall include the singular and the

singular shall include the plural. The use herein of the word “including” following any general statement, term, or matter shall not be construed to limit such statement, term, or matter to the specific items or matters set forth

immediately following such word or to similar items or matters, whether or not non-limiting language (such as “without limitation”, “but not limited to”, or words of similar import) is

used with reference thereto, but rather shall be deemed to refer to all other items or matters that could reasonably fall within the broadest possible scope of such general statement, term, or matter. References herein to any agreement, instrument,

or other document means such agreement, instrument, or other document as amended, supplemented, and modified from time to time to the extent permitted by the provisions thereof and not prohibited by the Plan.
