"15. Amendment, Suspension and Termination
of Plan. This Plan may be amended, suspended or terminated by
the Board at any time and such amendment, suspension or termination shall be
communicated in writing to all Participants as soon as practical after the date
of such Board action. If the Plan is suspended, (a) no payroll
deductions after the effective time of the suspension will be made, (b) all
Participant Contributions not used to purchase shares of Common Stock prior to
the effective time of the suspension shall be returned to the Participants,
without interest, as promptly as possible, (c) no shares of Common Stock shall
be purchased with Participant Contributions after the effective time of the
suspension, and (e) all Matching Contributions that would be paid to a
Participant after the effective date of the suspension will be paid to the
Participant in cash by the Company, subject to applicable withholdings, at such
time as such Matching Contributions would have been paid, provided that the
service requirements provided in Paragraph 8 are met at the time of such
Matching Contribution. If the Plan is terminated, each Participant
shall be entitled to receive as promptly as possible from the Company all
payroll deductions attributable to him or her which have not been used for
purchase of Common Stock pursuant to Paragraph 9 ("Account Balance"), and
he or she shall be entitled to the benefit of any future Matching Contributions
with respect to such deductions and all deductions for any past Offering
Periods; provided that such
Participants meet the service requirements of paragraph 8, hereof; and provided further that such
Matching Contributions will be paid in cash to the Participant, subject to all
withholding taxes, and will not be used to purchase shares of Common
Stock. In any event, this Plan shall terminate twenty (20) years from
the Effective Date. In the event that the Company terminates the Plan
pursuant to this Paragraph 15, the Broker shall maintain or close the
Participant’s Brokerage Accounts in accordance with the procedures set forth in
Paragraph 16. If there are any changes in the capitalization of the
Company, such as through mergers, consolidations, reorganizations,
recapitalizations, stock splits or stock dividends, appropriate adjustments will
be made by the Company in the number of shares of its Common Stock subject to
purchase under the Plan."

Except
as otherwise provided herein, the Plan shall remain in full force and
effect until terminated.
