<FONT SIZE="2">
As of December 31, 2008, Landstar System, Inc. (the "Company") has made certain modifications to the compensation arrangements set forth in a letter agreement between Henry H. Gerkens, the Company's Chief Executive Officer, and the Company, as amended and restated as of December 31, 2008 (the "Letter Agreement"), to comply with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code and to clarify and fulfill the intent of such arrangements in light of such Section 409A changes.  To effect these modifications, the Company also adopted a technical amendment to its 2002 Stock Option Plan, and simultaneously made a similar amendment to its 1993 Stock Option Plan.  Copies of the Letter Agreement, the 1993 Stock Option Plan, as amended, and the 2002 Stock Option Plan, as amended, are attached as exhibits hereto.<br><br>Under the Letter Agreement, Mr. Gerkens agreed to remain as the Company's Chief Executive Officer through January 1, 2013 and the Company agreed to grant Mr. Gerkens stock options in respect of 400,000 shares of
 its common stock in January 2008 (the "2008 Option Grant") and an additional 100,000 shares in January 2009 (the "2009 Option Grant").  It also provides that, unless the parties otherwise agree, Mr. Gerkens will continue to provide services to the Company for a period of two years following the date he ceases to serve as the Company's Chief Executive Officer (the "Continuing Services").  Revisions were made to the Letter Agreement in respect of these Continuing Services, in light of Section 409A, to avoid having such services delay the time at which Mr. Gerkens could receive certain compensation that might otherwise be payable to him upon his ceasing to serve as Chief Executive Officer. <br><br>These changes highlighted the fact that it was unclear how the period of Continuing Services would be treated for purposes of determining the period over which Mr. Gerkens would be entitled to exercise the 2008 Option Grant and the 2009 Option Grant (collectively, the "Letter Agreement Options").  It had been the int
ent that such Continuing Services would be treated as continuing employment for this purpose, allowing Mr. Gerkens to exercise the Letter Agreement Options for the period of such Continuing Services, plus for such period as such Options could be exercised in accordance with their terms following the cessation of the Continuing Services.  <br><br>Accordingly, to effect the original intent of the Letter Agreement, the Company has modified the terms of the Letter Agreement Options to provide that they may be exercised, in all events other than a cause termination, for two-years following termination of Mr. Gerkens&#x2019; employment.  This change assures Mr. Gerkens of the ability to exercise such Letter Agreement Options during the period of the Continuing Services, even if it is determined that he is not an employee of the Company during such period.<br>	<br>To effect this action required an amendment to the Company&#x2019;s 2002 Stock Option Plan (the "2002 Plan").  The 2002 Plan generally provides a one-yea
r post-termination exercise period for any employee whose employment terminates at or after age 62 or due to death or disability, and 30 days for employees terminating employment prior to age 62 other than for death or disability.  The 2002 Plan empowers the Compensation Committee to establish longer post-termination exercise periods; however, the Committee&#x2019;s authority to modify these periods in respect of retirement, death or disability was limited to actions taken at the time the option was granted.  As the Company saw no reason to continue this restriction under the stock option accounting standards and other rules currently in effect, the Company amended the 2002 Plan to eliminate this timing restriction on the Compensation Committee&#x2019;s discretion, to enable it to effect the intent of the Letter Agreement with respect to the post-termination exercise period applicable to the 2008 Option Grant.  <br><br>

<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">Dear Henry:


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%">As you know, on April&nbsp;27, 2004, you and Landstar System, Inc. (the &#147;<U><B>Company</B></U>&#148;) entered
into an employment letter in connection with your appointment as Chief Executive Officer of the
Company. To reflect the change in your rate of base salary and to make other changes thereto that
the parties deemed appropriate, including the addition of certain restrictive covenants for the
benefit of the Company, the parties amended and restated that letter, as of June&nbsp;8, 2007, to
specify the terms under which you were to continue to serve as Chief Executive Officer. In light
of the continued contributions we expect you to make to the Company, we again amended and restated
your letter agreement as of January&nbsp;2, 2008. As you may know, your employment agreement must be
brought into &#147;written documentary&#148; compliance with Section&nbsp;409A of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended, and the guidance promulgated thereunder by December&nbsp;31, 2008. In order to ensure
that your employment agreement is in written compliance with Section&nbsp;409A and such guidance, and to
make certain changes in respect thereof that the parties deemed appropriate, we are again amending
and restating your employment agreement as set forth below. For the avoidance of doubt, you shall
continue to be compensated on the same terms and conditions as are currently applicable to you,
including with respect to your Participant Percentage Participation under the Company&#146;s Executive
Incentive Compensation Plan (the &#147;<U><B>EICP</B></U>&#148;), which will continue to be 100%.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%">You shall be granted a special award of 500,000 options under the Company&#146;s 2002 Employee
Stock Option Plan (the &#147;<U><B>Option Plan</B></U>&#148;) consisting of (i)&nbsp;400,000 options that shall be
granted to you on January&nbsp;2, 2008 (the &#147;<U><B>Initial Option Grant</B></U>&#148;) and (ii)&nbsp;100,000 options
that shall be granted to you on January&nbsp;2, 2009 (the &#147;<U><B>Second Option Grant</B></U>&#148;). Each option
shall have an exercise price equal to the Fair Market Value (as defined in the Option Plan) of the
Company&#146;s Common Stock on the date of grant. The Initial Option Grant shall vest, subject to your
continuous employment with the Company through the applicable vesting date, as follows: 133,333
options shall vest on January&nbsp;2, 2011, 133,333 options shall vest on January&nbsp;2, 2012 and 133,334
options shall vest on January&nbsp;2, 2013. The Second Option Grant shall vest, subject to your
continuous employment with the Company through the applicable vesting date, as follows: 33,333
options shall vest on January&nbsp;2, 2011, 33,333 options shall vest on January&nbsp;2, 2012 and 33,334
options shall vest on January&nbsp;2, 2013. Notwithstanding anything in the Option Plan or the
foregoing to the contrary, all of the options shall become immediately vested and exercisable in
the event&nbsp;that (i)&nbsp;the Company appoints someone other than yourself as the Chief Executive Officer
at a time when you are employed by the Company, (ii)&nbsp;you resign your employment for Good Reason (as
defined below), or (iii)&nbsp;your employment is terminated by the Company for any reason other than for
Cause (as defined in your Key Executive Employment Protection Agreement (&#147;<U><B>KEEPA</B></U>&#148;)). Except
as expressly provided above, your options shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the
Option Plan. For the purposes of this employment letter, &#147;<U><B>Good Reason</B></U>&#148; means as defined in
clauses (i)&nbsp;and (ii)&nbsp;in the definition of such term in the KEEPA; provided such events result in a
material negative change to you in your employment relationship with the Company; provided further
that it is acknowledged and agreed that you shall not be deemed to have Good Reason to terminate
your employment as a result of your not receiving any additional equity compensation grants).


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%">As Chief Executive Officer, you will have all of the duties and obligations generally
associated with that position at the Company. You serve as the Chief Executive Officer at the
pleasure of the Board and as a member of the Board at the discretion of our stockholders.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%">Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company terminates your employment for any reason other
than Cause or Disability (as such terms are defined in the KEEPA) or you voluntarily terminate your
employment for Good Reason at any time prior to January&nbsp;2, 2013 and your rights to receive
severance are not governed by the KEEPA (that is, generally prior to the occurrence of Change of
Control, as defined in the KEEPA), then the Company shall pay you a lump sum severance benefit (the
&#147;<U><B>Severance Benefit</B></U>&#148;) equal to two times the sum of (<U>i</U>)&nbsp;your annual base salary (as
in effect on the date hereof, or as it may hereafter be increased) and (<U>ii</U>)&nbsp;the amount that
would be payable to you as an annual bonus for the applicable period based on your stated
Participant Percentage Participation in the EICP, within ten (10)&nbsp;business days of the date
immediately following the 6-month anniversary of your termination of employment. In addition, you
shall be entitled to receive any vested amounts or benefits owing to you under the Company&#146;s
otherwise applicable employee benefit plans and programs (including any equity compensation plan),
and all options granted to you in connection with your appointment as Chief Executive Officer
pursuant to the April&nbsp;27, 2004 letter agreement which have not previously vested in accordance with
their terms shall become fully vested and exercisable.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%">If you receive the Severance Benefit, you and, to the extent applicable, your dependents shall
be entitled, after the date of your termination and until the earlier of (<U>x</U>)&nbsp;the second
anniversary of such date or (<U>y</U>)&nbsp;the date you become eligible for comparable benefits under
a similar plan, policy or program of a subsequent employer, to continue participation in all of the
Company&#146;s employee and executive welfare benefit plans (the &#147;<U><B>Benefit Plans</B></U>&#148;) in which you
participated immediately prior to the date of your termination; provided that medical benefits and
Taxable Other Benefits (as defined below) are provided subject to the additional provisions set
forth below. Any continuation of medical benefits under a self-insured medical reimbursement plan
shall continue solely for the period during which you are entitled to purchase continued coverage
under such plan (&#147;<U><B>COBRA Coverage</B></U>&#148;)in accordance with Section&nbsp;4980B of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended, and Section&nbsp;601 et. Seq. of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act
of 1974, as amended. If your eligibility for COBRA Coverage ends due to the expiration of the 18
month period during which such COBRA Coverage is available, the Company shall continue to provide
you and your eligible dependents medical benefits monthly thereafter for a period of six additional
months. Your continued participation in the Benefit Plans (including the medical plan) will be on
the same terms and conditions that would have applied had you continued to be an employee of the
Company; provided, however, that to the extent that the benefits provided under any such Benefit
Plan are not medical benefits and the provision of such benefits would not be exempt from Federal
income taxation (the &#147;<U><B>Taxable Other Benefits</B></U>&#148;), you will reimburse the Company for the full
cost of such Taxable Other Benefits for the first six months following your termination of
employment (unless and solely to the extent you elect, within ten business days of the date of your
termination, to forego receipt of such Taxable Other Benefits under this letter agreement). To the
extent any such benefits cannot be provided under the terms of the applicable plan, policy or
program, the Company shall either provide an insurance policy or policies providing all or part of
such benefits, and to the extent of any portion of the benefits not covered by any such policies,
shall provide you the remaining benefits coverage under another plan or from the Company&#146;s general
assets. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall the benefits
provided under this paragraph during any calendar year affect the benefits provided under this
paragraph during any other calendar year. Moreover, to the extent any reimbursement or payment is
made in respect of, or in lieu of the provision of, benefits, such reimbursement or payment shall
be made no later than December&nbsp;31 following the calendar year in which the expense is incurred or
the benefits would otherwise have been provided.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%">In the event that your employment with the Company terminates due to your death or Disability,
or under circumstances that entitle you to receive the Severance Benefit, you shall also receive
for the year of termination a payment in respect of the EICP determined in accordance with the
provisions of such EICP, but based on your base salary in effect at the date of your termination of
employment, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in such year
prior to and including the date of your termination and the denominator of which is the number of
days in such year.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%">You acknowledge that in the event that your employment is terminated under circumstances in
which the Severance Benefit is payable and you receive all of the compensation and other benefits
provided for in the two immediately preceding paragraphs in respect of any termination of your
employment with the Company, you will not assert any claims against the Company with respect to
such termination and that, except as expressly provided below, the payments and benefits paid to
you pursuant to this letter will be in full satisfaction of any and all claims you may have against
the Company with respect to such termination. You agree that, if requested by the Company within
ten (10)&nbsp;business days of your termination of employment, you shall provide the Company with a
formal written release of any such claims, in such form as shall be reasonably requested by the
Company, consistent with its past practices, and that, if so requested, you shall deliver such
release to the Company within forty-five (45)&nbsp;calendar days of the date of your termination of
employment.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%">In the event the Company appoints someone other than yourself as the Chief Executive Officer
of the Company prior to January&nbsp;2, 2013 at a time when you are employed by the Company, or in the
event that your service as Chief Executive Officer ends on or after January&nbsp;2, 2013 for any reason
other than (i)&nbsp;your death, (ii)&nbsp;a termination by the Company for Cause or (iii)&nbsp;a termination as a
result of which you are entitled to receive the Severance Benefit or the severance benefits under
the KEEPA, then, during the two-year period following your termination of service as Chief
Executive Officer, unless the parties shall otherwise agree in writing, you shall provide the
Company consulting and other advisory services consistent with your training and experience and
your prior position with the Company as and when reasonably requested by the Board of Directors or
the then current Chief Executive Officer of the Company. Such services shall not require you to
devote, in any 12-month period, more than 20% of the average time that you had devoted to your
duties as Chief Executive Officer during the 36&nbsp;months immediately prior to your termination of
employment. In requesting any such services, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable
best efforts not to interfere with any of your other business commitments. Unless the context
otherwise requires, you shall determine the time and place at which you perform any such services.
For your availability to consult with the Company, and in consideration of any services you are
called on to perform, the Company shall pay you $300,000 payable within 10&nbsp;days immediately after
six months following the date your employment terminates. During the period that you are available
to provide consulting services, you and, to the extent applicable, your dependents shall be
entitled to continue participation in the Benefit Plans; provided that medical benefits and Taxable
Other Benefits (as defined below) are provided subject to the additional provisions set forth
below. Any continuation of medical benefits under a self-insured medical reimbursement plan shall
continue solely for the period during which you are eligible for COBRA Coverage. If your
eligibility for COBRA Coverage ends due to the expiration of the 18&nbsp;month period during which such
COBRA Coverage is available, the Company shall continue to provide you and your eligible dependents
medical benefits monthly thereafter for a period of six additional months. Your continued
participation in the Benefit Plans will be on the same terms and conditions that would have applied
had you continued to be an employee of the Company; provided, however, that to the extent that the
benefits provided under any such Benefit Plan are Taxable Other Benefits, you will reimburse the
Company for the full cost of such Taxable Other Benefits for the first six months following your
termination of employment (unless and solely to the extent you elect, within ten business days of
the date of your termination, to forego receipt of such Taxable Other Benefits under this letter
agreement). To the extent any such benefits cannot be provided under the terms of the applicable
plan, policy or program, the Company shall either provide an insurance policy or policies providing
all or part of such benefits, and to the extent of any portion of the benefits not covered by any
such policies, shall provide you the remaining benefits coverage under another plan or from the
Company&#146;s general assets. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event
shall the benefits provided under this paragraph during any calendar year affect the benefits
provided under this paragraph during any other calendar year. Moreover, to the extent any
reimbursement or payment is made in respect of, or in lieu of the provision of, benefits, such
reimbursement or payment shall be made no later than December&nbsp;31 following the calendar year in
which the expense is incurred or the benefits would otherwise have been provided.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%">You agree that during the period of your employment with the Company, you shall provide your
services exclusively for the benefit of the Company, except that you may serve on the board of
directors of other companies or on the board or other governing body of charitable or community
organizations with the approval of the Board, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.
For a period of two years following the termination of your employment with the Company for any
reason, you shall not (<U>i</U>)&nbsp;provide any services, in any capacity whatsoever (including, but
not limited to, as an officer, employee, director, partner, principal, consultant, advisor or
member) to any business enterprise that is in direct competition with the business of the Company
anywhere in the United States or (<U>ii</U>)&nbsp;solicit or hire, or otherwise engage the services of,
or assist any third party in soliciting, hiring or engaging the services of any person who is, or
at any time during the preceding 90&nbsp;day period was, an employee of the Company or an independent
contractor providing services to the Company. You agree and acknowledge that by reason of your
knowledge of the Company&#146;s business, including your possession of and access to valuable
confidential business information, regardless of whether or not trade secrets, and your
relationships with the Company&#146;s customers, clients, employees and other service providers, the
Company has a legitimate business interest to protect in respect of its good will, confidential
information and relationships with customers, employees and independent contractors and that the
foregoing covenants are necessary to protect such interest, and are reasonable in both their
geographic and temporal scope.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 4%">For the avoidance of doubt, at any time that the rights and protections provided to you under
the KEEPA are in effect, the Severance Benefits payable to you hereunder shall not be applicable
and you shall be entitled to receive the full benefit and protection afforded to you under the
terms of the KEEPA.

<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">POWERS OF THE COMMITTEE

granted and the terms and conditions of any and all such Options. The Chairman of the Board may
suggest to the Committee the Participants who should receive Options under the Plan. The terms and
conditions of each Option shall be determined by the Committee at the time of grant, and such terms
and conditions shall not be subsequently changed in a manner which would be adverse to participants
without the consent of the Participant to whom such Option has been granted. The Committee may
establish different terms and conditions for different Participants receiving Options and for the
same Participant for each Option such Participant may receive, whether or not granted at different
times.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">4.2. Substitute Options. The Committee shall have the right to grant Options in substitution for
or upon the cancellation of Options previously granted and such new Options may contain terms more
favorable to the recipient than the Options they replace, including, without limitation, a lower
exercise price (subject to Section&nbsp;6.2).


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">4.3. Administration. The Committee shall be responsible for the administration of the Plan. The
Committee, by majority action thereof, is authorized to prescribe, amend, and rescind rules and
regulations relating to the Plan, to provide for conditions deemed necessary or advisable to
protect the interests of the Company, and to make all other determinations necessary or advisable
for the administration and interpretation of the Plan in order to carry out its provisions and
purposes. Determinations, interpretations, or other actions made or taken by the Committee
pursuant to the provisions of the Plan shall be final, binding, and conclusive for all purposes and
upon all persons.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">SECTION 5.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">STOCK SUBJECT TO PLAN


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">5.1. Number. Subject to the provisions of Section&nbsp;5.3, the number of shares of Stock subject to
Options under the Plan may not exceed 1,115,000 shares of Stock. The shares to be delivered under
the Plan may consist, in whole or in part, of treasury Stock or authorized but unissued Stock, not
reserved for any other purpose.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">5.2. Cancelled, Terminated, or Forfeited Options. Any shares of Stock subject to an Option which
for any reason is cancelled, terminated or otherwise settled without the issuance of any Stock
shall again be available under the Plan.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">5.3. Adjustment in Capitalization. In the event of any Stock dividend or Stock split,

criteria applicable to outstanding Options may be appropriately adjusted by the Committee, whose

<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">6.1. Grant of Options. Options may be granted to Participants at such time or times as shall be
determined by the Committee. Options granted under the Plan may be of two types: (i)&nbsp;Incentive
Stock Options and (ii)&nbsp;Nonstatutory Stock Options. The Committee shall have complete discretion in
determining the number of Options, if any, to be granted to a Participant. Each Option shall be
evidenced by an Option agreement that shall specify the type of Option granted, the exercise price,
the duration of the Option, the number of shares of Stock to which the Option pertains, and such
other terms and conditions not inconsistent with the Plan as the Committee shall determine.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">6.2. Option Price. Nonstatutory Stock Options and Incentive Stock Options granted pursuant to the
Plan shall have an exercise price which is not less than the Fair Market Value on the date the
Option is granted.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">6.3. Exercise of Options. Options awarded to a Participant under the Plan shall be exercisable at
such times and shall be subject to such restrictions and conditions including the performance of a
minimum period of service or the satisfaction of performance goals, as the Committee may impose
either at or after the time of grant of such Options, subject to the Committee&#146;s right to
accelerate the exercisability of such Option in its discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no
Option shall be exercisable for more than 10&nbsp;years after the date on which it is granted.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">6.4. Payment. The Committee shall establish procedures governing the exercise of Options, which
shall require that written notice of exercise be given and that the Option price be paid in full in
cash or cash equivalents, including by personal check, at the time of exercise. The Committee may,
in its discretion, permit a Participant to make payment in Stock already owned by him or her,
valued at its Fair Market Value on the date of exercise, as partial or full payment of the exercise
price. As soon as practicable after receipt of a written exercise notice and full payment of the
exercise price, the Company shall deliver to the Participant a certificate or certificates
representing the acquired shares of Stock.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">6.5. Incentive Stock Options. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, no term of
the Plan relating to Incentive Stock Options shall be interpreted, amended or altered, nor shall
any discretion or authority granted under the Plan be so exercised, so as to disqualify the Plan
under Section&nbsp;422 of the Code, or, without the consent of any Participant affected thereby, to
cause any Incentive Stock Option previously granted to fail to qualify for the Federal income tax
treatment afforded under Section&nbsp;421 of the Code.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">6.6. Buyout. The Committee may at any time offer to buy out for a payment in cash any Option
previously granted, based on such terms and conditions as the Committee shall establish and
communicate to the optionee at the time such offer is made; <U>provided</U> that the amount paid
for each option shall not exceed the spread value of such option on the date the option is bought
out.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">SECTION 7.

employment is involuntarily terminated or constructively terminated, any conditions on a
Participant&#146;s rights under, or any restrictions on transfer or exercisability applicable to, each
such Alternative Award shall be waived or shall lapse, as the case may be.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">For this purpose, a constructive termination shall mean a termination by a Participant following a
material reduction in the Participant&#146;s compensation or a material reduction in the Participant&#146;s
responsibilities, in each case without the Participant&#146;s written consent.

<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">SECTION 10.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">10.1. Nontransferability of Options. No Options granted under the Plan may be sold, transferred,
pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated, other than by will or by the laws of
descent and distribution. All rights with respect to Options granted to a Participant under the
Plan shall be exercisable during his lifetime only by such Participant.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">10.2. Beneficiary Designation. Each Participant under the Plan may from time to time name any
beneficiary or beneficiaries (who may be named contingently or successively) to whom any benefit
under the Plan is to be paid or by whom any right under the Plan is to be exercised in case of his
death. Each designation will revoke all prior designations by the same Participant, shall be in a
form prescribed by the Committee, and will be effective only when filed by the Participant in
writing with the Committee during his lifetime. In the absence of any such designation, benefits
remaining unpaid at the Participant&#146;s death shall be paid to or exercised by the Participant&#146;s
surviving spouse, if any, or otherwise to or by his estate.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">10.3. No Guarantee of Employment or Participation. Nothing in the Plan shall interfere with or
limit in any way the right of the Company or any Subsidiary to terminate any Participant&#146;s
employment at any time, nor confer upon any Participant any right to continue in the employ of the
Company or any Subsidiary or affiliate. No Employee shall have a right to be selected as a
Participant, or, having been so selected, to receive any future Options.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">10.4. Tax Withholding. The Company shall have the power to withhold, or require a Participant to
remit to the Company, an amount sufficient to satisfy Federal, state, and local withholding tax
requirements on any Option under the Plan, and the Company may defer payment of cash or issuance of
Stock until such requirements are satisfied.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">10.5. Indemnification. Each person who is or shall have been a member of the Committee or of the
Board shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company against and from any loss, cost,
liability, or expense that may be imposed upon or reasonably incurred by him in connection with or
resulting from any claim, action, suit, or proceeding to which he may be made a party or in which
he may be involved by reason of any action taken or failure to act under the Plan and against and
from any and all amounts paid by him in settlement thereof, with the Company&#146;s approval, or paid by
him in satisfaction of any judgment in any such action, suit, or proceeding against him, provided
he shall give the Company an opportunity, at its own expense, to handle and defend the same before
he undertakes to handle and defend it on his own behalf. The foregoing right of indemnification
shall not be exclusive and shall be independent of any other rights of indemnification to which
such persons may be entitled under the Company&#146;s Articles of Incorporation or By-laws, by contract,
as a matter of law, or otherwise.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">10.6. No Limitation on Compensation. Nothing in the Plan shall be construed to limit the right of
the Company to establish other plans or to pay compensation to its employees in cash or property,
in a manner which is not expressly authorized under the Plan.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">10.7. Requirements of Law. The granting of Options and the issuance of shares of Stock shall be
subject to all applicable laws, rules, and regulations, and to such approvals by any governmental
agencies or national securities exchanges as may be required.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">10.8. Term of Plan. The Plan shall be effective upon its adoption by the Board and approval by a
majority of the shareholders of the Company. The Plan shall continue in effect, unless sooner
terminated pursuant to Section&nbsp;9, until the tenth anniversary of the date on which it is adopted by
the Board.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">10.9. Governing Law. The Plan, and all agreements hereunder, shall be construed in accordance
with and governed by the laws of the State of Delaware.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt">10.10. No Impact On Benefits. Options granted under the Plan are not compensation for purposes of
calculating an Employee&#146;s rights under any employee benefit plan.

STOCK OPTIONS



<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 2%">6.1. Grant of Options. Options may be granted to Participants at such time or times as shall
be determined by the Committee. Options granted under the Plan may be of two types: (i)&nbsp;Incentive
Stock Options and (ii)&nbsp;Nonstatutory Stock Options. The Committee shall have complete discretion in
determining the number of Options, if any, to be granted to a Participant, provided that no
Participant shall receive more than 50,000 Options during any fiscal year of the Company. Each
Option shall be evidenced by an Option agreement that shall specify the type of Option granted, the
exercise price, the duration of the Option, the number of shares of Stock to which the Option
pertains, and such other terms and conditions not inconsistent with the Plan as the Committee shall
determine.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 2%">6.2. Option Price. Nonstatutory Stock Options and Incentive Stock Options granted pursuant
to the Plan shall have an exercise price which is not less than the Fair Market Value on the date
the Option is granted.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 2%">6.3. Exercise of Options. Options awarded to a Participant under the Plan shall be
exercisable at such times and shall be subject to such restrictions and conditions including the
performance of a minimum period of service or the satisfaction of performance goals, as the
Committee may impose either at or after the time of grant of such Options, subject to the
Committee&#146;s right to accelerate the exercisability of such Option in its discretion.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Option shall be exercisable more than 10&nbsp;years after the date on
which it is granted.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 2%">6.4. Payment. The Committee shall establish procedures governing the exercise of Options,
which shall require that written notice of exercise be given and that the Option price be paid in
full in cash or cash equivalents, including by personal check, at the time of exercise. The
Committee may, in its discretion, permit a Participant to make payment in Stock already owned by
him or her, valued at its Fair Market Value on the date of exercise, as partial or full payment of
the exercise price. As soon as practicable after receipt of a written exercise notice and full
payment of the exercise price, the Company shall deliver to the Participant a certificate or
certificates representing the acquired shares of Stock.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 2%">6.5. Incentive Stock Options. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, no term
of the Plan relating to Incentive Stock Options shall be interpreted, amended or altered, nor shall
any discretion or authority granted under the Plan be so exercised, so as to disqualify the Plan
under Section&nbsp;422 of the Code, or, without the consent of any Participant affected thereby, to
cause any Incentive Stock Option previously granted to fail to qualify for the Federal income tax
treatment afforded under Section&nbsp;421 of the Code.

TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT



<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 2%">7.1. Termination of Employment Due to Retirement. Unless otherwise determined by the
Committee at or after the time of grant, in the event a Participant&#146;s employment terminates by
reason of Retirement, any Options granted to such Participant which are then outstanding (whether
or not exercisable prior to the date of such termination) may be exercised at any time prior to the
expiration of the term of the Options or within one (1)&nbsp;year (or such other period as the Committee
shall determine at or after the time of grant) following the Participant&#146;s termination of
employment, whichever period is shorter.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 2%">7.2. Termination of Employment Due to Death or Disability. Unless otherwise determined by
the Committee at or after the time of grant, in the event a Participant&#146;s employment terminates by
reason of death or Disability, any Options granted to such Participant which are then outstanding
(whether or not exercisable prior to the date of such termination) may be exercised by the
Participant or the Participant&#146;s designated beneficiary, and if none is named, in accordance with
Section&nbsp;10.2, at any time prior to the expiration date of the term of the options or within one (1)
year (or such other period as the Committee shall determine at or after the time of grant)
following the Participant&#146;s termination of employment, whichever period is shorter.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 2%">7.3. Termination of Employment For Cause. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee at
the time of grant, in the event a Participant&#146;s employment is terminated for Cause, any Options
granted to such Participant which are then outstanding (whether or not exercisable prior to the
date of such termination) shall be forfeited.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 2%">7.4. Termination of Employment for Any Other Reason. Unless otherwise determined by the
Committee at or after the time of grant, in the event the employment of the Participant shall
terminate for any reason other than one described in Section&nbsp;7.1, 7.2 or 7.3, any Options granted
to such Participant which are exercisable at the date of the Participant&#146;s termination of
employment shall be exercisable at any time prior to the expiration of the term of such Options or
the thirtieth day following the Participant&#146;s termination of employment, whichever period is
shorter.


<P align="center" style="font-size: 12pt">SECTION 8.<BR>
CHANGE IN CONTROL



<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 2%">8.1. Accelerated Vesting and Payment. Subject to the provisions of Section&nbsp;8.2 below, in the
event of a Change in Control, each Option shall be, at the discretion of the Committee, either
cancelled in exchange for a payment in cash of an amount equal to the excess of the Change in

AMENDMENT, MODIFICATION AND TERMINATION OF PLAN



<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 2%">The Board may at any time terminate or suspend the Plan, and from time to time may amend or
modify the Plan, provided that without the approval by a majority of the votes cast at a meeting of
shareholders at which a quorum representing a majority of the shares of Stock is present in person
or by proxy, no amendment or modification to the Plan may (i)&nbsp;materially increase the benefits
accruing to participants under the Plan, (ii)&nbsp;except as otherwise expressly provided in Section
5.3, materially increase the number of shares of Stock subject to Options under the Plan or the
number of Options that may be granted to a participant in a single calendar year under the Plan, or
(iii)&nbsp;materially modify the requirements for participation in the Plan. No amendment, modification,
or termination of the Plan shall in any manner adversely affect any Option theretofore granted
under the Plan, without the consent of the Participant.


<P align="center" style="font-size: 12pt">SECTION 10.<BR>
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS



<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 2%">10.1. Nontransferability of Options. No Options granted under the Plan may be sold,
transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated, other than by will or by
the laws of descent and distribution. All rights with respect to Options granted to a Participant
under the Plan shall be exercisable during his lifetime only by such Participant.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 2%">10.2. Beneficiary Designation. Each Participant under the Plan may from time to time name
any beneficiary or beneficiaries (who may be named contingently or successively) to whom any
benefit under the Plan is to be paid or by whom any right under the Plan is to be exercised in case
of his death. Each designation will revoke all prior designations by the same Participant, shall
be in a form prescribed by the Committee, and will be effective only when filed by the Participant
in writing with the Committee during his lifetime. In the absence of any such designation, benefits
remaining unpaid at the Participant&#146;s death shall be paid to or exercised by the Participant&#146;s
surviving spouse, if any, or otherwise to or by his estate.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 2%">10.3. No Guarantee of Employment or Participation. Nothing in the Plan shall interfere with
or limit in any way the right of the Company or any Subsidiary to terminate any Participant&#146;s
employment at any time, nor confer upon any Participant any right to continue in the employ of the
Company or any Subsidiary or affiliate. No Employee shall have a right to be selected as a
Participant, or, having been so selected, to receive any future Options.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 2%">10.4. Tax Withholding. The Company shall have the power to withhold, or require a
Participant to remit to the Company, an amount sufficient to satisfy federal, state and local
withholding tax requirements on any Option under the Plan, and the Company may defer payment of
cash or issuance of Stock until such requirements are satisfied.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 2%">10.5. Indemnification. Each person who is or shall have been a member of the Committee or of
the Board shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company against and from any loss, cost,
liability, or expense that may be imposed upon or reasonably incurred by him in connection with or
resulting from any claim, action, suit, or proceeding to which he may be made a party or in which
he may be involved by reason of any action taken or failure to act under the Plan and against and
from any and all amounts paid by him in settlement thereof, with the Company&#146;s approval, or paid by
him in satisfaction of any judgment in any such action, suit, or proceeding against him, provided
he shall give the Company an opportunity, at its own expense, to handle and defend the same before
he undertakes to handle and defend it on his own behalf. The foregoing right of indemnification
shall not be exclusive and shall be independent of any other rights of indemnification to which
such persons may be entitled under the Company&#146;s Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws, by contract,
as a matter of law, or otherwise.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 2%">10.6. No Limitation on Compensation. Nothing in the Plan shall be construed to limit the
right of the Company to establish other plans or to pay compensation to its employees in cash or
property, in a manner which is not expressly authorized under the Plan.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 2%">10.7. Requirements of Law. The granting of Options and the issuance of shares of Stock shall
be subject to all applicable laws, rules and regulations, and to such approvals by any governmental
agencies or national securities exchanges as may be required.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 2%">10.8. Term of Plan. The Plan shall be effective upon its adoption by the Board and approval
by a majority of the shareholders of the Company. The Plan shall continue in effect, unless sooner
terminated pursuant to Section&nbsp;9, until the tenth anniversary of the date on which it is adopted by
the Board.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 2%">10.9. Governing Law. The Plan, and all agreements hereunder, shall be construed in
accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Delaware.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 2%">10.10. No Impact On Benefits. Options granted under the Plan are not compensation for
purposes of calculating an Employee&#146;s rights under any employee benefit plan.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 2%">10.11. Freedom of Action. Subject to Section&nbsp;9, nothing in the Plan or any Option agreement
shall be construed as limiting or preventing the Company or any subsidiary thereof from taking any
action with respect to the operation or conduct of its business that it deems appropriate or in its
best interest.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 2%">10.12. Headings and Captions. The headings and captions herein are provided for reference
and convenience only, shall not be considered part of the Plan and shall not be employed in the
construction of the Plan.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: 2%">10.13. No Rights as Stockholder. No Participant shall have any voting or other rights as a
stockholder of the Company with respect to any Stock covered by any Option until the issuance of a
certificate or certificates to the Participant for such Stock. No adjustment shall be made for
dividends or other rights for which the record date is prior to the issuance of such certificate or
certificates.
