By substituting the following for section 4(a) of the Plan in its entirety:
|
“(a) Subject to adjustments as provided in Section 7(e) of the Plan, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued with respect to Awards granted under the Plan is the sum of: (i) 2,100,000; and (ii) an annual increase on the first day of each calendar year, beginning with January 1, 2016 and ending with the last January 1 during the initial ten-year term of the Plan, equal to the lesser of (A) four percent (4%) of the shares of Common Stock outstanding (on an as-converted basis) on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year, and (B) such smaller number of shares of Common Stock as determined by the Board. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no more than 1,680,000 shares of Common Stock may be issued in the form of Full-Value Awards, and no more than 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock may be issued pursuant to incentive stock options intended to qualify under Code section 422. If any Award, or portion of an Award, under the Plan expires or terminates unexercised, becomes unexercisable, is settled in cash without delivery of shares of Common Stock, or is forfeited or otherwise terminated, surrendered or canceled as to any shares, or if any shares of Common Stock are repurchased by or surrendered to the Company in connection with any Award (whether or not such surrendered shares were acquired pursuant to any Award), or if any shares are withheld by the Company, the shares subject to such Award and the repurchased, surrendered and withheld shares shall thereafter be available for further Awards under the Plan; provided, however, that any such shares that are surrendered to or repurchased or withheld by the Company in connection with any Award or that are otherwise forfeited after issuance shall not be available for purchase pursuant to incentive stock options intended to qualify under Code section 422.”
