Grant of Options. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Committee may grant options (“Options”) to purchase shares of Common Stock # complying with the requirements of Section 422 of the Code or any successor provision and any regulations thereunder (“Incentive Stock Options” or “ISOs”), and # not intended to comply with such requirements (“Nonstatutory Stock Options” or “NSOs”). The Committee shall determine the number of shares subject to each Option and the exercise price therefor, which shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the date of grant. No Incentive Stock Options may be granted hereunder more than ten years after the last date on which the Plan was approved for purposes of Section 422 of the Code.

Stock Options. The Committee may, in its discretion, grant options to purchase shares of Common Stock to such eligible persons as may be selected by the Committee. Each option, or portion thereof, that is not an Incentive Stock Option, shall be a Nonqualified Stock Option. To the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the date of grant) of shares of Common Stock with respect to which options designated as Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by a participant during any calendar year (under this Plan or any other plan of the Corporation or any Affiliate) exceeds the amount (currently $100,000) established by the Code, such options shall constitute Nonqualified Stock Options.

ISOs. The Committee may grant Incentive Stock Options only to eligible employees of the Company or its subsidiaries (as defined for this purpose in [section 424(f)] of the Code). The terms of any ISO granted under this Plan will comply in all respects with the provisions of [section 422] of the Code. ISOs may not be granted more than ten years after the earlier of the adoption of this Plan or the approval of this Plan by the Company’s stockholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Fair Market Value of the shares of Stock subject to an ISO and the aggregate Fair Market Value of the shares of stock of any parent or subsidiary corporation (within the meaning of [sections 424(e) and (f)])] of the Code) subject to any other ISO (within the meaning of [section 422] of the Code) of the Company or a parent or subsidiary corporation (within the meaning of [sections 424(e) and (f)])] of the Code) that first becomes purchasable by a Participant in any calendar year may not (with respect to that Participant) exceed $100,000, or such other amount as may be prescribed under [section 422] of the Code. Failure to comply with this provision will cause the excess to be reclassified as Nonqualified Stock Options in accordance with the Code.

The Committee may award Incentive Stock Options (“ISOs”) (as defined in Section 422(b) of the Code) and Non-Qualified Stock Options (“NQSOs”), not intended to qualify under Section 422(b) of the Code (ISOs and NQSOs hereinafter collectively the “Options”) under the Plan. An ISO or an NQSO enables the participant to purchase from the Company, at any time during a specified exercise period, a specified number of shares Company Common Stock at a specified price (the “Option Price”). Options may be granted to Participants in such number and on such terms as shall be determined by the Committee in its discretion, subject to the following:
