Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Administrator shall have the authority to determine all other matters relating to administration and operation of the Plan. All questions of interpretation, implementation, and application of the Plan shall be determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion. Such determinations shall be final and binding on all persons. 4. SHARES SUBJECT TO THE PLAN. The maximum number of Shares that may be issued pursuant to awards granted under the Plan is seven hundred fifty thousand (750,000), subject to adjustment as provided in Section 6(b) and subject to limited re-issuance as indicated below. If an award expires, is surrendered, or in the case of options becomes unexercisable without having been exercised in full, the unissued or retained Shares shall become available for future grant under the Plan. Other Shares that actually have been issued under the Plan pursuant to an award shall not be returned to the Plan and shall not become available for future grant under the Plan. 5. ELIGIBILITY. A Non-Employee Director may receive awards under this Plan on the terms and conditions set forth in Sections 6 and 7. No other person may benefit under this Plan. 6. GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS. (a) Automatic Grants . On and after the date of the annual meeting of the Company' s stockholders to be held in 2007, and subject to adjustment under Section 6(b), a Non-Employee Director will automatically receive fifteen thousand (15,000) Restricted Stock Units on the date first elected or appointed as a member of the Board and (ii) six thousand (6,000) Restricted Stock Units on any date re-elected (or first elected after an appointment) as a member of the Board by the Company' s stockholders. In addition, any incumbent Non-Employee Director who is re-elected at the 2007 annual meeting of stockholders will receive ten thousand (10,000) Restricted Stock Units upon such re-election. Any such grant will be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Plan, and will be evidenced by written notice in such form as the Administrator shall determine. Pursuant to Section 7, the form of award granted may be changed from time to time by resolution of the Board of Directors. (b) Changes in Capitalization or Corporate Transaction . In the event of any merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, separation, liquidation or other change in the corporate structure or capitalization affecting the Shares, appropriate adjustment shall be made by the Administrator in the kind, price, and number of shares of stock (including, but not limited to, the maximum number of Shares reserved under the Plan) that are or may become subject to the Plan. If in connection with the change the Company ceases to exist, the surviving or successor entity must either assume the Company' s rights and obligations with respect to outstanding awards or substitute for outstanding awards substantially equivalent awards for equity interests in the entity.

The Administrator shall have the power to modify, extend, or renew an outstanding award granted under this Plan, in a manner consistent with the terms of the Plan, provided that any such action may not significantly impair the award holder' s rights without his or her consent. However, the Company will not reduce the exercise price of any outstanding option or cancel outstanding options and grant replacement options with a lower exercise price without the prior approval of the shareholders. 7. AWARDS. (a) Awards may take the form of Restricted Stock Units, Restricted Stock and/or Stock Options. The form of award granted under the Plan may be changed from time to time by resolution of the Board of Directors. Restricted Stock Units will be granted upon approval of this amended and restated Plan. (b) Restricted Stock Units i) Vesting . Restricted Stock Units shall vest over a period of time to be established by the Administrator at the time of grant. Each award of Restricted Stock Units may be subject to a different vesting schedule.

At the time Shares are issued to the Non-Employee Director pursuant to Restricted Stock Units, the Non-Employee Director shall be required, to the extent required by applicable law, to purchase such Shares from the Company at a purchase price equal to the aggregate par value of the Shares represented by such Restricted Stock. The purchase price, if any, shall be payable in cash or, in the discretion of the Administrator, in consideration for past Services rendered to the Company or for such other form of consideration determined by the Administrator. iii) Withholding Taxes .
