ARTICLE III

ELIGIBILITY AND PARTICIPATION

3.01 Initial Eligibility. Any individual who is otherwise an Eligible Employee and who is employed with the Company or a Designated Subsidiary on the Effective Date or becomes employed with the Company or a Designated Subsidiary after the Effective Date and is otherwise an Eligible Employee, may participate in the Plan immediately beginning with the first Offering Period that occurs concurrent with or next following either the Effective Date or that individual’s initial date of such employment.

3.02 Leave of Absence. For purposes of the Plan, an individual’s employment relationship is still considered to be continuing intact while such individual is on sick leave, or other leave of absence approved by the Committee or the Participant’s supervisor; provided, however, that if the period of leave of absence exceeds ninety (90) days and the individual’s right to reemployment is not guaranteed either by statute or by contract, the employment relationship shall be deemed to have terminated on the ninety-first (91st) day of such leave.

3.03 Eligibility Restrictions. Notwithstanding any provisions of the Plan to the contrary, no employee of the Company or a Designated Subsidiary shall be granted an Option under the Plan:

(a) if, immediately after the Option is granted, applying the rules under Section 424(d) of the Code to determine Common Stock ownership, such employee would own, immediately after the Option is granted, five percent (5%) or more of the total combined voting power or value of all classes of stock of the Company or any Subsidiary; or

(b) which permits such employee’s rights to purchase stock under the Plan and any other employee stock purchase plans (excluding, for this purpose, any of the Company’s stock option plans) of the Company or any Subsidiary to accrue at a rate that exceeds $25,000 (or such other amount as may be adjusted from time to time under applicable provisions of the Code or regulations promulgated thereunder) in Fair Market Value of Common Stock (determined at the time such Option is granted) for each calendar year in which such Option is outstanding.

3.04 Participation. (a) An Eligible Employee may commence participation by completing an Agreement authorizing payroll deductions and filing it with the payroll office of the Company prior to the applicable Enrollment Date. Such an Eligible Employee is referred to as a Participant.

(b) Any payroll deductions for a Participant shall commence on the first payroll date following the Enrollment Date and shall end on the last payroll date in the Offering Period to which such authorization is applicable, unless sooner terminated by the Participant as provided in Article VI.

3.05 Option Grant. On the Enrollment Date of each Offering Period, each Participant participating in the Offering Period shall be granted an Option to purchase on the Exercise Date of such Offering Period (at the appropriate Option Price) up to a number of shares of Common Stock as determined by dividing the particular Participant’s payroll deductions that have accumulated prior to such Exercise Date and retained in such Participant’s Account as of that Exercise Date by the appropriate Option Price. Such purchase of shares of Common Stock shall be subject to the limitations under Sections 3.03 and 3.09. Exercise of the Option shall occur as provided in Section 3.07, unless the Participant has withdrawn as provided in Article VI. The Option shall expire on the last day of the Offering Period. The Committee may determine that there shall be no Options granted under the Plan for any particular Plan Year.

3.06 Offering Period. The Plan shall be implemented by consecutive Offering Periods of Common Stock. Each Agreement shall specify the Offering Period for which the Option is granted, which shall be determined by the Committee in accordance with the Plan. The Committee shall have the authority to change the duration of Offering Periods, including the commencement dates thereof, with respect to future offerings without approval of the Company’s stockholders. Under such circumstances, any change to the Offering Periods shall be announced at least ten (10) days prior to the scheduled beginning of the initial Offering Period to be affected. In no event, however, shall an Offering Period extend beyond the period permitted under Section 423(b)(7) of the Code.

3.07 Exercise of Option. Unless a Participant provides written notice to the Company, or withdraws from the Plan as provided in Article VI, his or her Option for the purchase of shares shall be exercised automatically on the Exercise Date, and the maximum number of full shares subject to the Option shall be purchased for such Participant at the applicable Option Price, using the accumulated payroll deductions in his or her Account, subject to the limitations under Sections 3.03 and 3.09. No fractional shares shall be purchased. Any payroll deductions accumulated in an Account that are not sufficient to purchase a full share of Common Stock shall be retained in the Account for the subsequent Offering Period, subject to earlier withdrawal by the Participant as provided in Article VI. Any other monies remaining in a Participant’s Account after the Exercise Date shall be returned to the Participant or his or her Beneficiary in cash, without interest. During a Participant’s lifetime, such Participant’s Option is exercisable only by such Participant.

3.08 Account/Delivery of Stock/Voting and Tendering Rights/Dividends. (a) As of the Exercise Date with respect to each Offering Period, the amount then in a Participant’s Account shall be applied to the purchase of the number of shares of Common Stock determined by dividing such amount by the applicable Option Price. The shares of Common Stock purchased on behalf of a Participant shall initially be credited to a book entry account established by the Company in the name of the Participant or shall be registered in the name of a Nominee, as the Company shall determine in its discretion. Stock certificates shall not be issued to a Participant for the Common Stock held on his or her behalf under the Plan, but all rights accruing to an owner of record of such Common Stock, including, without limitation, voting and tendering rights, shall belong to the Participant for whose Account such Common Stock is held.

(b) A Participant may, at any time, direct the Plan Administrator to sell some or all of the full shares of Common Stock allocated to the Participant’s Account by instructing the Plan Administrator in writing on a form designated by the Plan Administrator for such purpose. The proceeds of any sale of shares of Common Stock will be paid to the Participant net of all applicable withholding taxes and transaction costs. The Plan Administrator may establish procedures as to the timing and permitted frequency of such sales by Participants. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee or Plan Administrator, no participant shall have the right to have issued to him or her, prior to termination of employment with the Company or a Designated Subsidiary, a certificate or certificates for some or all of the full shares of Common Stock previously purchased on his or her behalf under the Plan; provided, however, that a Participant shall have the right, upon written request to the Plan Administrator, to receive a certificate or certificates for some or all of the full shares of Common Stock previously purchased on his or her behalf under the Plan to the extent such shares have been held in custody under the Plan, on behalf of the Participant, until the later of (i) two years from the date of the commencement of the Offering Period in respect of which such shares were purchased and (ii) eighteen months from the date of purchase of such shares.

(c) Upon the termination of the Plan pursuant to Section 8.06, any full shares of Common Stock purchased for the benefit of any Participant and held under the Plan shall be transferred to and registered in the name of each such Participant as soon as administratively practicable.

(d) Each Participant (or, in the event of his or her death, his or her Beneficiary) is entitled to direct the Company (or, if applicable, the Nominee) as to the manner in which any shares of Common Stock held on behalf of such Participant are to be voted. Shares of Common Stock as to which the Company (or the Nominee) shall not have received timely written voting directions by a Participant shall be voted proportionately with shares of Common Stock as to which directions by Participants were so received. Each Participant (or, in the event of his or her death, his or her Beneficiary) is also entitled to direct the Company (or the Nominee) in writing as to the manner in which to respond to a tender or exchange offer with respect to shares of such Common Stock, and the Company (or the Nominee) shall respond in accordance with such directions. If the Company (or the Nominee) shall not have received timely written directions from a Participant as to the response to such offer, the Company (or the Nominee) shall not tender or exchange any shares of Common Stock allocated to such Participant’s Account.

(e) By executing an enrollment form, a Participant shall have authorized the Company (or, if applicable, the Nominee) to receive and collect all cash dividends or other distributions paid with respect to shares of Common Stock held on the Participant’s behalf and to use such funds to purchase additional shares of Common Stock, on behalf of the Participant, that could be purchased by dividing the amount of such dividend or other distribution by the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the date on which a cash dividend on such Common Stock held under the Plan, is paid. The cash value of any distribution in property shall be determined by the Committee. Any stock dividend on shares of Common Stock shall be held under the Plan for the benefit of the Participant on whose behalf the shares of Common Stock giving rise to the dividend are held. The Company (or, if applicable, the Nominee) shall distribute to any Participant, as soon as practical, any dividends received on shares of Common Stock, if the maximum share limitation set forth in Section 3.03 prevent further issuances of such shares. A Participant who elects to hold shares of Common Stock previously held under the Plan in his or her own name will cease to have the benefit of this Section 3.08(e) with respect to such shares when they are registered in his or her own name.

(f) The Committee will require a Participant or his or her Beneficiary to give prompt written notice to the Company concerning any disposition of shares of Common Stock received upon the exercise of such Participant’s Option within: (i) two (2) years from the date of granting of such Option to such Participant, (ii) eighteen (18) months from the transfer of such shares of Common Stock to such Participant, or (iii) such other period as the Committee may from time to time determine.

3.09 Withholding. At the time an Option is exercised, or at the time some or all of the Common Stock that is issued under the Plan is disposed of, the Company may withhold from any Compensation or other amount payable to the applicable Participant, or require such Participant to remit to the Company (or make other arrangements satisfactory to the Company, as determined in the Committee’s discretion, regarding payment to the Company of), the amount necessary for the Company to satisfy any Federal, state or local taxes required by law to be withheld with respect to the shares of Common Stock subject to such Option or disposed of, as a condition to delivery of any certificate or certificates for any such shares of Common Stock. Whenever under the Plan payments are to be made in cash, such payments shall be made net of an amount sufficient to satisfy any Federal, state or local tax or withholding obligations with respect to such payments.

ARTICLE IV

PAYROLL DEDUCTIONS

4.01 Contribution Rate. (a) At the time a Participant files an Agreement with the Committee authorizing payroll deduction, he or she may elect to have payroll deductions made on each payday during the Offering Period, and such Contribution Rate shall be a minimum of one percent (1%) and a maximum of ten percent (10%) of the Participant’s Compensation in effect on each payroll period during the Offering Period (subject to Section 4.01(b)), unless the Committee determines otherwise in a manner applicable uniformly to all Participants. Participants may not make any separate cash payments outside payroll deductions under the Plan except as otherwise provided in Section 5.04(d) in the event of a Change in Control.

(b) A Participant may discontinue his or her participation in the Plan as provided in Article VI, or may elect to decrease (but not increase) the rate of his or her payroll deductions during the Offering Period by filing a new Agreement with the Committee that authorizes a change in his or her Contribution Rate. Such election by the Participant to decrease his or her Contribution Rate shall only be permitted once during each Offering Period. The Committee may, in its discretion, in a fair and equitable manner, limit the number of Participants who change their Contribution Rate during any Offering Period. Any such change in Contribution Rate accepted by the Committee shall be effective with the first full payroll period following ten (10) business days after the Committee’s receipt of the new Agreement authorizing the new Contribution Rate, unless the Committee elects to process a change in the Contribution Rate more quickly. A Participant’s authorization to change his or her Contribution Rate shall remain in effect for successive Offering Periods unless terminated as provided in Article VI.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.01, the Committee may decrease a Participant’s Contribution Rate, but not below zero percent (0%), at any time during an Offering Period to the extent necessary to comply with Section 423(b)(8) of the Code or Section 3.03 of the Plan. To the extent necessary in such case, payroll deductions shall recommence at the rate provided in such Participant’s Agreement at the beginning of the first Offering Period that is scheduled to begin in the following Plan Year, unless the Participant withdraws from the Plan in accordance with Article VI.

4.02 Participant Account. All payroll deductions made for a Participant shall be credited to his or her Account under the Plan.

4.03 Interest. No interest shall accrue on the payroll deductions of a Participant under the Plan. In addition, no interest shall be paid on any and all money that is distributed to a Participant, or his or her Beneficiary, pursuant to the provisions of Sections 6.01 and/or 6.03.

ARTICLE V

COMMON STOCK

5.01 Shares Provided. (a) The maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued under the Plan shall be 1,000,000 shares. This number is subject to an adjustment upon any changes in capitalization of the Company as provided in Section 5.04.

(b) The Committee may determine, in its sole discretion, to include in the number of shares of Common Stock available under the Plan any shares of Common Stock that cease to be subject to an Option or any shares subject to an Option that terminates without issuance of shares of Common Stock actually being made to the Participant.

(c) If the number of shares of Common Stock that Participants become entitled to purchase under the Plan is greater than the shares of Common Stock offered in a particular Offering Period or remaining available under the Plan, the available shares of Common Stock shall be allocated by the Committee among such Participants in such manner as the Committee determines is fair and equitable.

5.02 Participant Interest. The Participant shall have no interest as a shareholder, including, without limitation, voting or dividend rights, with respect to shares of Common Stock covered by his or her Option until such Option has been exercised in accordance with the Plan.

5.03 Restriction of Shares Upon Exercise. The Committee may, in its discretion, require as conditions to the exercise of any Option that the shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance upon the exercise of the Option shall have been duly listed upon a stock exchange, and that either:

(a) a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to the shares shall be effective, or

(b) the Participant shall have represented at the time of purchase, in form and substance satisfactory to the Company, that it is his or her intention to purchase the shares for investment and not for resale or distribution.

5.04 Changes in Capital. (a) Subject to any required action by the shareholders of the Company, upon changes in the outstanding Common Stock by reason of a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, combination or exchange of shares, merger, recapitalization, consolidation, corporate separation or division of the Company (including, but not limited to, a split-up, spin-off, split-off or distribution to Company stockholders other than a normal cash dividend), reorganization, reclassification, or increase or decrease in the number of shares of capital stock of the Company effected without receipt of full consideration therefore, or any other similar change affecting the Company’s capital structure, the Committee shall make appropriate adjustments, in its discretion, to, or substitute, as applicable, the number, class and kind of shares of stock available for Options under the Plan, outstanding Options and the Reserves, the maximum number of shares that a Participant may purchase per Offering Period, the Option Prices of outstanding Options and any other characteristics or terms of the Options or the Plan as the Committee shall determine are necessary or appropriate to reflect equitably the effects of such changes to the Participants; provided, however, that any fractional shares resulting from any such adjustment shall be eliminated by rounding to the next lower whole number of shares with appropriate payment for such fractional shares as shall be reasonably determined by the Committee. Notice of any such adjustment shall be given by the Committee to each Participant whose Option has been adjusted and such adjustment, whether or not such notice has been given, shall be effective and binding for all purposes of the Plan.

(b) The existence of the Plan and any Options granted hereunder shall not affect in any way the right or power of the Board or the shareholders of the Company to make or authorize any adjustment, recapitalization, reorganization or other change in the Company’s capital structure or its business, any merger or consolidation of the Company or a Subsidiary, any issue of debt, preferred or prior preference stock ahead of or affecting Common Stock, the authorization or issuance of additional shares of Common Stock, the dissolution or liquidation of the Company or any Subsidiary, any sale or transfer of all or part of the Company’s or a Subsidiary’s assets or business or any other corporate act or proceeding.

(c) The Board may at any time terminate an Offering Period then in progress and provide, in its discretion, that Participants’ then outstanding Account balances shall be used to purchase shares of Common Stock pursuant to Article III or returned to the applicable Participants.

(d) In the event of a Change in Control, the Committee may, in its discretion:

(i) permit each Participant to make a single sum payment with respect to his or her outstanding Option before the Exercise Date equal to the amount the Participant would have contributed as determined by the Committee for the payroll periods remaining until the Exercise Date, and provide for termination of the Offering Period then in progress and purchase of shares pursuant to Article III; or

(ii) provide for payment in cash to each Participant of the amount standing to his or her Account plus an amount equal to the highest value of the consideration to be received in connection with such transaction for one share of Common Stock, or, if higher, the highest Fair Market Value of the Common Stock during the 30 consecutive Trading Days immediately prior to the closing date or expiration date of such transaction, less the Option Price of the Participant’s Option (determined for all purposes of this Section 5.04(d)(ii) using such closing or termination date as the Exercise Date in applying Section 2.4), multiplied by the number of full shares of Common Stock that could have been purchased for such Participant immediately prior to the Change in Control with the amount standing to his or her Account at the Option Price, and that all Options so paid shall terminate.

ARTICLE VI

WITHDRAWAL

6.01 General. By written notice to the Committee, at any time prior to the last day of any particular Offering Period, a Participant may elect to withdraw all of the accumulated payroll deductions in his or her Account at such time. All of the accumulated payroll deductions credited to such withdrawing Participant’s Account shall be paid to such Participant promptly after receipt of his or her written notice of withdrawal. In addition, upon the Participant’s written notice of withdrawal, the Participant’s Option for the Offering Period shall be automatically terminated, and no further payroll deductions for the purchase of shares on behalf of such Participant shall be made for such Offering Period. If a Participant withdraws from an Offering Period, payroll deductions shall not resume at the beginning of the succeeding Offering Period unless the Participant delivers to the Committee a new Agreement authorizing payroll deductions.

6.02 Effect on Subsequent Participation.

6.03 Termination of Employment. Upon termination of employment as an Eligible Employee, for any reason, a Participant shall be deemed to have elected to withdraw from the Plan and the payroll deductions credited to such Participant’s Account during the Offering Period but not yet used to exercise the Option shall be returned to such Participant, or, in the case of a Participant’s death, the payroll deductions credited to such deceased Participant’s Account shall be paid to his or her Beneficiary or Beneficiaries, and the Participant’s Option shall be automatically terminated. A transfer of a Participant’s employment between or among the Company and any Designated Subsidiary or Designated Subsidiaries shall not be treated as a termination of employment for purposes of the Plan. Upon the termination of employment of a Participant with the Company or a Designated Subsidiary, all shares of Common Stock then credited to the Participant’s Account will be registered in his or her own name and distributed to him or her.

ARTICLE VII

Any such delivery or payment shall be a complete discharge of the obligations and liabilities of the Company, the Subsidiaries, the Committee and the Board under the Plan.

8.02 Transferability. Neither payroll deductions credited to the Participant’s Account nor any rights with regard to the exercise of an Option or to receive Common Stock under the Plan may be assigned, transferred, pledged, or otherwise disposed of in any way other than by will, the laws of descent and distribution, or as provided under Section 8.01. Any such attempt at assignment, transfer, pledge or other disposition shall be without effect, except that the Company may treat such act as an election to withdraw funds from an Offering Period in accordance with Article VI.

8.03 Conditions Upon Issuance of Shares. If at any time the Committee shall determine, in its discretion, that the listing, registration and/or qualification of shares of Common Stock upon any securities exchange or under any state or Federal law, or the consent or approval of any governmental regulatory body, is necessary or desirable as a condition of, or in connection with, the sale or purchase of shares of Common Stock hereunder, no Option may be exercised or paid in whole or in part unless and until such listing, registration, qualification, consent and/or approval shall have been effected or obtained, or otherwise provided for, free of any conditions not acceptable to the Committee.

(b) If at any time counsel to the Company shall be of the opinion that any sale or delivery of shares of Common Stock pursuant to an Option is or may be in the circumstances unlawful, contravene the requirements of any stock exchange, or result in the imposition of excise taxes on the Company or any Subsidiary under the statutes, rules or regulations of any applicable jurisdiction, the Company shall have no obligation to make such sale or delivery, or to make any application or to effect or to maintain any qualification or registration under the Securities Act, or otherwise with respect to shares of Common Stock or Options and the right to exercise any Option shall be suspended until, in the opinion of such counsel, such sale or delivery shall be lawful or will not result in the imposition of excise taxes on the Company or any Subsidiary.

(c) The Committee, in its absolute discretion, may impose such restrictions on the ownership and transferability of the shares of Common Stock purchasable or otherwise receivable by any person under any Option as it deems appropriate. The certificates evidencing such shares may include any legend that the Committee deems appropriate to reflect any such restrictions.

8.04 Participants Bound by Plan. By accepting any benefit under the Plan, each Participant and each person claiming under or through such Participant shall be conclusively deemed to have indicated their acceptance and ratification of, and consent to, all of the terms and conditions of the Plan and any action taken under the Plan by the Committee, the Company or the Board, in any case in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Plan.

8.05 Use of Funds. All payroll deductions received or held by the Company under the Plan may be used by the Company for any corporate purpose, and the Company shall not be obligated to segregate such payroll deductions.

8.06 Amendment or Termination. The Board may terminate, discontinue, amend or suspend the Plan at any time, with or without notice to Participants. No such termination or amendment of the Plan may materially adversely affect the existing rights of any Participant with respect to any outstanding Option previously granted to such Participant, without the consent of such Participant, except for any amendment or termination permitted by Section 5.04. In addition, no amendment of the Plan by the Board shall, without the approval of the shareholders of the Company, (i) increase the maximum number of shares that may be issued under the Plan or that any Participant may purchase under the Plan in any Offering Period, except pursuant to Section 5.04; (ii) change the class of employees eligible to receive Options under the Plan, except as provided by the Board pursuant to the last sentence of Section 7.01; or (iii) change the formula by which the Option Price is determined under the Plan.

8.07 No Employment Rights. The Plan does not, either directly or indirectly, create an independent right for the benefit of any employee or class of employees to purchase any shares of Common Stock under the Plan. In addition, the Plan does not create in any employee or class of employees any right with respect to continuation of employment by the Company or any Subsidiary, and the Plan shall not be deemed to interfere in any way with the Company’s or any Subsidiary’s employment at will relationship with the employee and/or interfere in any way with the Company’s or any Subsidiary’s right to terminate, or otherwise modify, an employee’s employment at any time or for any or no reason.

8.08 Indemnification. No current or previous member of the Board, or the Committee, nor any officer or employee of the Company acting on behalf of the Board, or the Committee, shall be personally liable for any action, determination, or interpretation taken or made in good faith with respect to the Plan. All such members of the Board or the Committee and each and every officer or employee of the Company acting on their behalf shall, to the extent permitted by law, be fully indemnified and protected by the Company in respect of any such action, determination or interpretation of the Plan. The foregoing right of indemnification shall not be exclusive of any other rights of indemnification to which such individuals may be entitled under the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, or Bylaws, as a matter of law or otherwise.

8.09 Construction of Plan. Whenever the context so requires, the masculine shall include the feminine and neuter, and the singular shall also include the plural, and conversely. The words “Article” and “Section” herein shall refer to provisions of the Plan, unless expressly indicated otherwise.

8.10 Term of Plan. Following the adoption of the Plan by the Board, and approval of the Plan by the stockholders of the Company who are present and represented at a special or annual meeting of the shareholders where a quorum is present, which approval must occur not earlier than one (1) year before, and not later than one (1) year after, the date the Plan is adopted by the Board, the Plan shall become effective on the Effective Date.

8.11 Unfunded Status of Plan. The Plan shall be an unfunded plan. The Committee may authorize the creation of trusts or other arrangements to meet the obligations created under the Plan to deliver Common Stock or make payments, provided that the existence of such trusts or other arrangements is consistent with the unfunded status of the Plan.

8.12 Governing Law. The law of the State of Connecticut will govern all matters relating to the Plan except to the extent such law is superseded by the laws of the United States.

8.13 Compliance with Laws. (a) The purchase and delivery of Common Stock pursuant to the terms of the Plan shall be conducted in compliance with all applicable stock exchange listing requirements and all applicable laws, including, without limitation, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and the 1934 Act, the respective rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, and the policies and regulations of applicable securities regulatory authorities. If the Committee determines, in its discretion, that, in order to comply with any such listing requirements, statutes, regulations or rules, certain action is necessary in relation to the purchase and delivery of Common Stock in accordance with the Plan, no Common Stock will be purchased or delivered, unless such action shall have been completed in a manner satisfactory to the Committee.
