ARTICLE 4. COMMON STOCK SUBJECT TO THE PLAN

4.1   Common Stock Authorized.

(a)    The initial total aggregate number of shares of Common Stock for which Awards may be made under the Plan shall not exceed 12½% of the Corporation’s issued and outstanding Common Stock on the date of the approval of this Plan by the Corporation’s shareholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the Plan, including shares subject to then outstanding Awards, shall automatically increase on the first trading day of January of each calendar year during the term of the Plan, beginning with calendar year 2008, by an amount equal to the lesser of (i) 12½% of the positive difference, if any, between the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, including shares subject to outstanding Awards, on the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar year and the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, including shares subject to outstanding Awards, on the first trading day of such immediately preceding calendar year; or (ii) an amount determined by the Board. No Incentive Stock Options may be granted on the basis of the additional shares of Common Stock resulting from such annual increases. The limitation established by this Section 4.1(a) shall be subject to adjustment as provided in Article 10.

(b)   Subject to the overall 12½% limit, as adjusted, provided in Section 4.1(a), the maximum aggregate number of shares of Common Stock for which Restricted Shares may be awarded under the Plan shall not exceed 5% of the Corporation’s issued and outstanding Common Stock on the date of the approval of this Plan by the Corporation’s shareholders. The limitation established by the preceding sentence shall be subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4.1(a) above and Article 10.

(c)    If any Option is exercised by tendering Common Stock, either actually or by attestation, to the Corporation as full or partial payment in connection with the exercise of such Option under the

6




Plan, or if the tax withholding requirements are satisfied through such tender, only the number of shares of Common Stock issued net of the Common Stock tendered shall be deemed delivered for purposes of determining the maximum number of shares available for Awards under the Plan.

4.2   Shares Available.   The Common Stock to be issued under the Plan shall be the Corporation’s Common Stock which shall be made available at the discretion of the Board, either from authorized but unissued Common Stock or from Common Stock acquired by the Corporation, including shares purchased in the open market. In the event that any outstanding Award under the Plan for any reason expires, terminates, or is forfeited, the shares of Common Stock allocable to such expiration, termination, or forfeiture may thereafter again be made subject to an Award under the Plan.
