(c) Contemplated Amendments . It is expressly contemplated that the Board may amend the Plan in any respect the Board deems
necessary or advisable to provide eligible Employees with the maximum benefits provided or to be provided under the provisions of the Code
and the regulations promulgated thereunder relating to Incentive Stock Options and/or to bring the Plan and/or Incentive Stock Options granted
under it into compliance therewith.
(d) No Material Impairment of Rights . Rights under any Option granted before amendment of the Plan shall not be materially
impaired by any amendment of the Plan unless (i) the Company requests the consent of the Optionholder and (ii) the Optionholder consents in
writing.
(e) Amendment of Options . The Board at any time, and from time to time, may amend the terms of any one or more Options;

(b) No Material Impairment of Rights . Suspension or termination of the Plan shall not materially impair rights and obligations
under any Option granted while the Plan is in effect except with the written consent of the Optionholder.
15.

The Plan shall become effective as determined by the Board, but no Option shall be exercised (with the exception of an Option granted

twelve (12) months before or after the date the Plan is adopted by the Board.
