12.  Amendment of the Plan and Stock Awards.
 
(a) Amendment of Plan.  The Board at any time, and from time to time, may amend the Plan. However, except as provided in Section 11 relating to adjustments upon changes in Common Stock, no amendment shall be effective unless approved by the stockholders of the Company to the extent stockholder approval is necessary under applicable laws or regulations or to the extent that such amendment constitutes a material amendment to the Plan.
 
(b) Stockholder Approval.  The Board may, in its sole discretion, submit any amendment to the Plan for stockholder approval, including, but not limited to, amendments to the Plan intended to satisfy the requirements of Section 162(m) of the Code and the regulations thereunder regarding the exclusion of performance-based compensation from the limit on corporate deductibility of compensation paid to Covered Employees. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, the Board shall not, without prior stockholder approval, (A) reduce the exercise price of any outstanding Option under the Plan, (B) cancel any outstanding Option under the Plan and grant in substitution therefor, on either an immediate or delayed basis, a new Option under the Plan covering the same or a different number of shares of Common Stock or cash, or (C) take any other action with respect to any outstanding Option under the Plan that is treated as a repricing of such Option pursuant to generally accepted accounting principles.

(c) No Impairment of Rights.  Rights under any Stock Award granted before amendment of the Plan shall not be impaired by any amendment of the Plan unless (i) the Company requests the consent of the Participant and (ii) the Participant consents in writing.
 
(d) Amendment of Stock Awards.  The Board at any time, and from time to time, may amend the terms of any one or more Stock Awards; provided, however, that the rights under any Stock Award shall not be impaired by any such amendment unless (i) the Company requests the consent of the Participant, and (ii) the Participant consents in writing.
