authority to terminate and amend the Plan and to administer the Plan with
respect to Directors who are not employees or consultants of the Company,

hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows:

termination of employment other than retirement); however any such
discretionarily accelerated shares shall be subject to the 5% of the shares of
Common Stock available pursuant to Section 4(a) which may be granted
without respect to minimum vesting requirements. The Administrator or Committee shall have the
power to accelerate the time at which a Stock Award may first be exercised or
the time during which a Stock Award or any part thereof will vest in accordance
with the Plan, notwithstanding the provisions in the Stock Award stating the
time at which it may first be exercised or the time during which it will vest.
