ITEM 5.02(E)
Approval of Amended and Restated 2005 Stock Option Plan
On May 21, 2007, the shareholders of Health Fitness Corporation (the Company) approved a
proposal to amend and restate the 2005 Stock Option Plan (Plan), which provides for the issuance
of shares of common stock to employees, directors and consultants pursuant to incentive and
non-qualified stock option grants. The shareholders originally approved the Plan on June 7, 2005
and amended it on May 23, 2006 to increase the number of authorized shares available thereunder to
4,000,000. The most recent amendment revises the Plan to (i) permit optionees to pay for shares
upon exercise of options with cash, by delivering previously-acquired shares of Common Stock of the
Company, or by having shares withheld (e.g., a net share settlement), (ii) limit the authority of a
committee appointed by the Board to administer the plan with respect to the Companys Section 16
officers, (iii) eliminate the ability of optionees to pay any portion of the exercise price of
their options by delivery of a promissory note, and (iv) eliminate the ability of optionees to
satisfy any withholding tax obligations by withholding shares from the exercise price of their
options or surrendering previously-owned shares. The full text of the Plan and the forms of
agreements used under the Plan are attached hereto as exhibits and are incorporated in this Report
as if fully set forth herein.
Approval of 2007 Equity Incentive Plan
Also on May 21, 2007, the Companys shareholders approved the 2007 Equity Incentive Plan
(Equity Incentive Plan), pursuant to which the Company may make discretionary performance-based
awards of restricted stock to employees, officers and directors. Currently, only the Companys
Section 16 officers are eligible to participate in the Equity Incentive Plan, but the Board of
Directors or a committee appointed by the Board, as applicable, may designate additional participants. Up to
900,000 shares of the Companys Common Stock are available for restricted stock awards under the
Equity Incentive Plan. Restricted stock awards will be subject to restrictions on transfer of the
shares and risks of forfeiture, which will lapse upon achievement of objectives or conditions that
the Board or a committee appointed by the Board, as applicable, establishes. As previously disclosed in the Companys Definitive Proxy Statement on
Schedule 14A, filed April 16, 2007 and in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended
March 31, 2007, filed May 15, 2007, participants also have the option, at the outset of the
program, to receive a cash bonus in lieu of a restricted stock award. Participants choosing to
receive a cash award would receive that bonus upon achievement of the same performance objectives
established for the Equity Incentive Plan. Thus, the cash bonus would be payable at the same time,
and to the same extent, that a restricted stock award would vest. The full text of the Equity
Incentive Plan and the form of restricted stock agreement are attached hereto as exhibits and are
incorporated in this Report as if fully set forth herein.

ARTICLE 3. PLAN ADMINISTRATION
The Plan shall be administered by the Board or by a Committee of the Board consisting of two
or more directors who shall be appointed by and serve at the pleasure of the Board; provided, that
if the Board delegates administration to a Committee, such Committee shall have no authority for
matters under this Plan relating to or affecting non-employee directors, and the Committee further
shall have no authority for matters under this Plan relating to or affecting Section 16 Officers
except the authority to make recommendations to the Board. The Board further may subject such
delegation to such additional restrictions on authority as it may deem necessary and appropriate
and thereafter shall continue to have the power to take action with respect to all matters
pertaining to this plan with or without recommendation of the Committee. As long as the Companys
securities are registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, then, to the extent necessary for compliance with Rule 16b-3, or any successor provision,
each of the members of the Committee shall be a Non-Employee Director. For purposes of this
paragraph, Non-Employee Director shall have the same meaning as set forth in Rule 16b-3, or any
successor provision, as then in effect, of the General Rules and Regulations under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Members of a Committee, if established, shall be appointed from
time to time by the Board, shall serve at the pleasure of the Board and may resign at any time upon
written notice to the Board. A majority of the members of the Committee shall constitute a quorum.
The Committee shall act by majority approval of its members, shall keep minutes of its meetings
and shall provide copies of such minutes to the Board. Action of the Committee may be taken
without a meeting if unanimous written consent thereto is given. Copies of minutes of the
Committees meetings and of its actions by written consent shall be provided to the Board and kept
with the corporate records of the Company.
In accordance with the provisions of the Plan the Board (upon recommendation of the Committee
in the case of Section 16 Officers) or the Committee (in the case of Optionees who are not
directors or Section 16 Officers) shall: select the Optionees from Eligible Persons; determine the
number of shares of Common Stock to be subject to Options granted pursuant to the Plan, the time at
which such Options are granted, the Option exercise price, Option period and the manner in which
each such Option vests or becomes exercisable; fix such other provisions of such Options as are
deemed necessary or desirable and as consistent with the terms of the Plan; determine the form or
forms of the agreements with Optionees which shall evidence the particular terms, conditions,
rights and duties of the Company and the Optionees under Options granted pursuant to the Plan; and
otherwise exercise authority, subject to the provisions of the Plan, including establishing,
adopting and revising such rules and regulations relating to the Plan as may be deemed necessary or
advisable for the administration of the Plan. With the consent of the Optionee affected thereby,
the Board (upon recommendation of the Committee in the case of Section 16 Officers) or the
Committee (in the case of Optionees who are not directors or Section 16 Officers) may approve
amendments or modifications to the terms of any outstanding Incentive Stock Option or Non-Statutory
Stock Option in any manner, provided that the amended or modified terms are permitted by the Plan
as then in effect. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the Board (upon
recommendation of the Committee in the case of Section 16 Officers) or the Committee (in the case
of Optionees who are not directors or Section 16 Officers) may recommend to the Board or approve
such amendments (as appropriate within the terms of its appointment or Charter), with the consent
of the Optionee affected thereby, that modify the exercise price, number of shares or other terms
and conditions of an Option, extend the term of an Option, accelerate the exercisability or vesting
or otherwise terminate any restrictions relating to an Option, extend, renew or accept the
surrender of any outstanding Option to
3
the extent not previously exercised, and the Board (upon recommendation of the Committee in
the case of Section 16 Officers) or the Committee (in the case of Optionees who are not directors
or Section 16 Officers) may approve the grant of new Options in substitution therefor to the extent
not previously exercised.
Each determination, interpretation or other action made or taken by the Board (upon
recommendation of the Committee in the case of Section 16 Officers) or the Committee (in the case
of Optionees who are not directors or Section 16 Officers) pursuant to the provisions of the Plan
shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes and on all persons, including, without limitation,
the Company and its Subsidiaries, the shareholders of the Company, the Committee and each of the
members thereof, the directors, officers and employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries, and the
Optionees and their respective successors in interest. No member of the Committee shall be liable
for any action or determination made in good faith with respect to the Plan or any Option granted
under the Plan.
ARTICLE 4. SHARES SUBJECT TO THE PLAN
4.1 Number. The maximum number of shares of Common Stock that shall be reserved for
issuance under the Plan shall be Four Million (4,000,000), subject to adjustment upon changes in
the capitalization of the Company as provided in Section 4.3 below. Shares of Common Stock that
may be issued upon exercise of Options shall be applied to reduce the maximum number of shares of
Common Stock remaining available for use under the Plan.
4.2 Unused Stock. Any shares of Common Stock that are subject to an Option (or any
portion thereof) that lapses, expires or for any reason is terminated unexercised shall
automatically again become available for use under the Plan.
4.3 Change in Shares, Adjustments, Etc. If the number of outstanding shares of Common
Stock is increased or decreased or changed into or exchanged for a different number or kind of
shares of stock or other securities of the Company or of another corporation by reason of any
reorganization, merger, consolidation, recapitalization, reclassification, stock dividend, stock
split, reverse stock split, combination of shares, rights offering or any other change in the
corporate structure or shares of the Company, the Board (or, if the Company is not the surviving
corporation in any such transaction, the board of directors of the surviving corporation) shall
make appropriate adjustment as to the number and kind of securities subject to and reserved under
the Plan and, in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the rights of Optionees, the number
and kind of securities subject to outstanding Options. Any such adjustment in any outstanding
Option shall be made without change in the aggregate purchase price applicable to the unexercised
portion of the Option but with an appropriate adjustment in the price for each share or other unit
of any security covered by the Option. However, no change shall be made in the terms of any
outstanding Incentive Stock Options as a result of any such change in the corporate structure or
shares of the Company, without the consent of the Optionee affected thereby, that would disqualify
that Incentive Stock Option from treatment under Section 422 of the Code or would be considered a
modification, extension or renewal of an option under Section 424(h) of the Code.
ARTICLE 5. ELIGIBILITY
Incentive Stock Options or Non-Statutory Stock Options shall be granted only to those Eligible
Persons who, in the judgment of the Board (upon recommendation of the Committee in the case of
Section 16 Officers) or of the Committee (in the case of Optionees who are not directors or Section
16 Officers), are performing, or during the term of an Option, will perform, vital services in the
management, operation and development of the Company or a Subsidiary, and significantly contribute
or are expected to significantly contribute to the achievement of long-term corporate economic
objectives. Optionees
4
may be granted from time to time one or more Incentive Stock Options and/or Non-Statutory
Stock Options under the Plan, in any case as may be determined by the Board (upon recommendation of
the Committee in the case of Section 16 Officers) or by the Committee (in the case of Optionees who
are not directors or Section 16 Officers) in its sole discretion. The number, type, terms and
conditions of Options granted to various Eligible Persons need not be uniform, consistent or in
accordance with any plan, whether or not such Eligible Persons are similarly situated. The Board
(upon recommendation of the Committee in the case of Section 16 Officers) or the Committee (in the
case of Optionees who are not directors or Section 16 Officers) may grant both an Incentive Stock
Option and a Non-Statutory Stock Option to the same Optionee at the same time or at different
times. Incentive Stock Options and Non-Statutory Stock Options, whether granted at the same or
different times, shall be deemed to have been awarded in separate grants, shall be clearly
identified, and in no event will the exercise of one Option affect the right to exercise any other
Option or affect the number of shares of Common Stock for which any other Option may be exercised.
Upon determination by the Board (upon recommendation of the Committee in the case of Section 16
Officers) or by the Committee (in the case of Optionees who are not directors or Section 16
Officers) that an Option is to be granted to an Optionee, written notice shall be given such person
specifying such terms, conditions, rights and duties related thereto. Each Optionee shall enter
into an agreement with the Company, in such form as the Board (upon recommendation of the Committee
in the case of Section 16 Officers) or the Committee (in the case of Optionees who are not
directors or Section 16 Officers) shall determine and which is consistent with the provisions of
the Plan, specifying the terms, conditions, rights and duties of Incentive Stock Options and
Non-Statutory Stock Options granted under the Plan. Options shall be deemed to be granted as of
the date specified in the grant resolution of the Board (upon recommendation of the Committee in
the case of Section 16 Officers) or of the Committee (in the case of Optionees who are not
directors or Section 16 Officers), which date shall be the date of the related agreement with the
Optionee.
ARTICLE 6. DURATION AND EXERCISE
6.1 Manner of Option Exercise. An Option may be exercised by an Optionee in whole or
in part from time to time, subject to the conditions contained herein and in the agreement
evidencing such Option, by delivery, in person or through certified or registered mail, or written
notice of exercise to the Company at its principal executive office (Attention: Secretary), and by
paying in full the total Option exercise price for the shares of Common Stock purchased in
accordance with Section 6.3. Such notice shall be in a form satisfactory to the Company and shall
specify the particular Option (or portion thereof) that is being exercised and the number of shares
with respect to which the Option is being exercised. Subject to Section 9.1, the exercise of the
Option shall be deemed effective upon receipt of such notice and payment. As soon as practicable
after the effective exercise of the Option, the Company shall record on the stock transfer books of
the Company the ownership of the shares purchased in the name of the Optionee, and the Company
shall deliver to the Optionee one or more duly issued stock certificates evidencing such ownership.
6.2 Method of Payment of Option Exercise Price. At the time of the exercise of an
Incentive Stock Option or a Non-Statutory Stock Option, the Optionee may determine whether the
total purchase price of the shares to be purchased shall be paid (i) in cash, (ii) by transfer from
the Optionee to the Company of previously acquired shares of Common Stock, (iii) through the
withholding of shares of Stock from the number of shares otherwise issuable upon the exercise of
the Option (e.g., a net share settlement), or (iv) by a combination thereof. In the event the
Optionee elects to pay the purchase price in whole or in part with previously acquired shares of
Common Stock or through a net share settlement, the Fair Market Value of the shares delivered or
withheld shall equal the total exercise price for the shares being purchased in such manner. The
Board (upon recommendation of the Committee in the case of Section 16 Officers) or the Committee
(in the case of Optionees who are not directors or Section 16 Officers) may reject an Optionees
election to pay all or part of the purchase price with previously
5
acquired shares of Common Stock and require such purchase price to be paid entirely in cash if, in
the sole discretion of the Committee, payment in previously acquired shares would cause the Company
to be required to recognize a charge to earnings in connection therewith. For purposes of this
Section 6.2, previously acquired shares shall mean shares of Common Stock that are already owned
by the Optionee at the time of exercise.
6.3 Rights as a Shareholder. The Optionee shall have no rights as a shareholder with
respect to any shares of Common Stock covered by an Option until the Optionee shall have become the
holder of record of such shares, and no adjustment shall be made for dividends or other
distributions or other rights as to which there is a record date preceding the date the Optionee
becomes the holder of record except as the Board may determine pursuant to Section 4.3.
6.4 Incentive Stock Options.
(a) Incentive Stock Option Exercise Price. The per share price to be paid by
the Optionee at the time an Incentive Stock Option is exercised will be determined by the
Board (upon recommendation of the Committee in the case of Section 16 Officers) or by the
Committee (in the case of other Optionees), but shall not be less than (i) 100% of the Fair
Market Value of one share of Common Stock on the date the Option is granted, or (ii) 110% of
the Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock on the date the Option is granted if, at
that time the Option is granted, the Optionee owns, directly or indirectly (as determined
pursuant to Section 424(d) of the Code), more than 10% of the total combined voting power of
all classes of stock of the Company, any Subsidiary or any parent corporation of the Company
(within the meaning of Section 424(e) of the Code).
(b) Aggregate Limitation of Stock Subject to Incentive Stock Options.
Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined
as of the date an Incentive Stock Option is granted) of the shares of Common Stock with
respect to which Incentive Stock Options (within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code) are
exercisable for the first time by an Optionee during any calendar year (under the Plan and
any other incentive stock option plans of the Company, any Subsidiary or any parent
corporation of the Company (within the meaning of Section 424(e) of the Code)) shall not
exceed $100,000 (or such other amount as may be prescribed by the Code from time to time;
provided, however, that if the exercisability or vesting of an Incentive Stock Option is
accelerated as permitted under the provisions of this Plan and such acceleration would
result in a violation of the limit imposed by this Section 6.4(b), such acceleration shall
be of full force and effect but the number of shares of Common Stock which exceed such limit
shall be treated as having been granted pursuant to a Non-Statutory Stock Option; and
provided, further, that the limits imposed by this Section 6.4(b) shall be applied to all
outstanding Incentive Stock Options (under this Plan and any other incentive stock option
plans of the Company, any Subsidiary or any parent corporation of the Company (within the
meaning of Section 424(e) of the Code)) in chronological order according to the dates of
grant.
(c) Duration of Incentive Stock Options. The period during which an Incentive
Stock Option may be exercised shall be fixed by the Board (upon recommendation of the
Committee in the case of Section 16 Officers) or by the Committee (in the case of other
Optionees) at the time such Option is granted, but in no event shall such period exceed ten
years from the date the Option is granted or, in the case of any Optionee that owns,
directly or indirectly (as determined pursuant to Section 424(d) of the Code) more than 10%
of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company, any Subsidiary or
any parent corporation of the Company (within the meaning of Section 424(e) of the Code),
five years from
6
the date the Incentive Stock Option is granted. An Incentive Stock Option shall become
exercisable at such times and in such installments (which may be cumulative) as shall be
determined by the Board (upon recommendation of the Committee in the case of Section 16
Officers) or the Committee (in the case of other Optionees) at the time the Option is
granted. Upon the completion of its exercise period, an Incentive Stock Option, to the
extent not then exercised, shall expire. Except as otherwise provided in Article 7 or 11,
all Incentive Stock Options granted to an Optionee hereunder shall terminate and may no
longer be exercised if the Optionee ceases to be an employee of the Company and all
Subsidiaries or if the Optionee is an employee of a Subsidiary and the Subsidiary ceases to
be a Subsidiary of the Company (unless the Optionee continues as an employee of the Company
or another Subsidiary).
(d) Disposition of Common Stock Acquired Pursuant to the Exercise of Incentive
Stock Options. Prior to making a disposition (as defined in Section 424(c) of the Code)
of any shares of Common Stock acquired pursuant to the exercise of an Incentive Stock Option
granted under the Plan before the expiration of two years after the date on which the Option
was granted or before the expiration of one year after the date on which such shares of
Common Stock were transferred to the Optionee pursuant to exercise of the Option, the
Optionee shall send written notice to the Company of the proposed date of such disposition,
the number of shares to be disposed of, the amount of proceeds to be received from such
disposition and any other information relating to such disposition that the Company may
reasonably request. The right of an Optionee to make any such disposition shall be
conditioned on the receipt by the Company of all amounts necessary to satisfy any federal,
state or local withholding tax requirements attributable to such disposition. The
certificates representing such shares shall bear a legend restricting transfer and to cause
a stop transfer order to be entered with the Companys transfer agent until such time as the
Company receives the amounts necessary to satisfy such withholding requirements or until the
later of the expiration of two years from the date the Option was granted or one year from
the date on which such shares were transferred to the Optionee pursuant to the exercise of
the Option.
(e) Withholding Taxes. The Company shall be entitled to withhold and deduct
from future wages of the Optionee all legally required amounts necessary to satisfy any and
all withholding and employment-related taxes attributable to the Optionees exercise of an
Incentive Stock Option or a disqualifying disposition of shares acquired through the
exercise of an Incentive Stock Option as defined in Code Section 421(b).
6.5 Non-Statutory Stock Options.
(a) Option Exercise Price. The per share price to be paid by the Optionee at
the time a Non-Statutory Stock Option is exercised will be determined by the Board (upon
recommendation of the Committee in the case of Section 16 Officers) or by the Committee (in
the case of Optionees who are not directors or Section 16 Officers), but shall not be less
than (i) 100% of the Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock on the date the Option
is granted.
(b) Duration of Non-Statutory Stock Options. The period during which a
Non-Statutory Stock Option may be exercised shall be fixed by the Board (upon recommendation
of the Committee in the case of Section 16 Officers) or by the Committee in the case of
Optionees who are not directors or Section 16 Officers) at the time such Option is granted,
but in no event shall such period exceed 10 years and one month from the date the Option is
granted. A Non-Statutory Stock Option shall become exercisable at such times and in such
installments (which may be cumulative) as shall be determined by the Board (upon
recommendation of the Committee in the case of Section 16 Officers) or by the Committee in
the case of Optionees who
7
are not directors or Section 16 Officers) at the time the Option is granted. Upon the
completion of its exercise period, a Non-Statutory Stock Option, to the extent not then
exercised, shall expire. Except as otherwise provided in Articles 7 or 11, all
Non-Statutory Stock Options granted hereunder to an Optionee who is an employee of the
Company or any Subsidiaries shall terminate and may no longer be exercised if the Optionee
ceases to be an employee of the Company or a Subsidiary or if the Optionee is an employee of
a Subsidiary and the Subsidiary ceases to be a Subsidiary of the Company (unless the
Optionee continues as an employee of the Company or another Subsidiary). A Non-Statutory
Stock Option granted hereunder to an Optionee who is not an employee of the Company or a
Subsidiary will terminate as determined by the Board at the time of grant.
(c) Withholding Taxes. The Company is entitled to (aa) withhold and deduct
from future wages of the Optionee, or make other arrangements for the collection of, all
legally required amounts necessary to satisfy any federal, state or local withholding tax
requirements attributable to the Optionees exercise of a Non-Statutory Stock Option or
otherwise incurred with respect to the Option, or (bb) require the Optionee promptly to
remit the amount of such withholding to the Company before acting on the Optionees notice
of exercise or the Option.
ARTICLE 7. EFFECT OF TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT ON OPTIONS
7.1 Termination of Employment or Other Service Due to Death, Disability or Retirement.
In the event an Optionees employment or other service is terminated with the Company and all
Subsidiaries by reason of his death, Disability or Retirement, all outstanding Incentive Stock
Options and Non-Statutory Stock Options then held by the Optionee shall become immediately
exercisable in full and remain exercisable for a period of three months in the case of Retirement
and one year in the case of death or Disability, provided, however, that an exercise may not occur
after the expiration date thereof in any event. The Company shall make a reasonable business
effort to notify the Optionee or his heirs or representatives, as the case may be, of the last date
by which Options may be exercised pursuant to this Section 7.1, at least thirty (30) days in the
case of Retirement and at least sixty (60) days in the case of death or Disability, prior to such
date, which effort may be satisfied by mailing of such notice to the Optionees last known address
contained in the official records of the Company.
7.2 Termination of Employment or Other Service for Reasons Other than Death, Disability or
Retirement.
(a) Except as otherwise provided in Article 11 or as otherwise determined by the Board
(upon recommendation of the Committee in the case of Section 16 Officers) or the Committee
(in the case of other Optionees) at the time of grant of an Incentive Stock Option, in the
event an Optionees employment or other service is terminated with the Company and all
Subsidiaries for any reason other than his death, Disability or Retirement, each Incentive
Stock Option then held by the Optionee shall completely terminate on the earlier of (i) the
close of business on the three-month anniversary date of such termination of employment and
(ii) the expiration date of such Incentive Stock Option. In such period following
termination of employment, the Incentive Stock Option shall be exercisable only to the
extent the Option was exercisable on the vesting date immediately preceding such termination
of employment but had not previously been exercised. To the extent an Incentive Stock
Option is not exercisable on the date of termination of employment or if the Optionee does
not exercise the Option within the time specified in this subsection (a), all rights of the
Optionee under the Plan and such Incentive Stock Option shall terminate.
8
(b) Except as otherwise provided in Article 11 and subsection (c) below, in the event
an Optionees employment or other service is terminated with the Company and all
Subsidiaries for any reason other than his death, Disability or Retirement no Non-Statutory
Stock Option then held by the Optionee shall thereafter be exercisable.
(c) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (b) above, upon an Optionees
termination of employment or other service with the Company and all Subsidiaries, the Board
(upon recommendation of the Committee in the case of Section 16 Officers) or the Committee
(in the case of Optionees who are not directors or Section 16 Officers) may, in its sole
discretion (which may be exercised before or following such termination), cause
Non-Statutory Stock Options then held by such Optionee to become exercisable and to remain
exercisable following such termination of employment or other service in the manner
determined by the Board (upon recommendation of the Committee in the case of Section 16
Officers) or by the Committee (in the case of Optionees who are not directors or Section 16
Officers); provided, however, that no Option shall be exercisable after the expiration date
thereof in any event.
7.3 Date of Termination. For purposes of the Plan, an Optionees employment or other
service shall be deemed to have terminated on the date that the Optionee ceases to perform services
for the Company or the last day of the pay period covered by the Optionees final paycheck, as the
case may be. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the employee Optionee shall not be deemed to have
ceased to be an employee for purposes of the Plan until the later of the 91st day of any bona fide
leave of absence approved by the Company or a Subsidiary for the Optionee (including, without
limitation any layoff) or the expiration of the period of any bona fide leave of absence approved
by the Company or a Subsidiary for the Optionee (including without limitation any layoff) during
which the Optionees right to reemployment is guaranteed either by statute or contract.
ARTICLE 8. RIGHTS OF EMPLOYEES; OPTIONEES
8.1 Employment. Nothing in the Plan shall interfere with or limit in any way the
right of the Company or any Subsidiary to terminate the employment of any Eligible Person or
Optionee at any time, nor confer upon any Eligible Person or Optionee any right to continue in the
employ of the Company or any Subsidiary.
8.2 Nontransferability. No right or interest of any Optionee in an Option granted
pursuant to the Plan shall be assignable or transferable during the lifetime of the Optionee,
either voluntarily or involuntarily, or subjected to any lien, directly or indirectly, by operation
of law, or otherwise, including execution, levy, garnishment, attachment, pledge or bankruptcy. In
the event of an Optionees death, an Optionees rights and interest in any Options shall be
transferable by testamentary will or the laws of descent and distribution, and payment of any
amounts due under the Plan shall be made to, and exercise of any Options (to the extent permitted
pursuant to Section 7.1) may be made by, the Optionees legal representatives, heirs or legatees.
If in the opinion of the Board (upon recommendation of the Committee in the case of Section 16
Officers) or of the Committee (in the case of Optionees who are not directors or Section 16
Officers) an Optionee holding any Option is disabled from caring for his or her affairs because of
mental condition, physical condition or age, any payments due the Optionee may be made to, and any
rights of the Optionee under the Plan shall be exercised by, such Optionees guardian, conservator
or other legal personal representative upon furnishing the Company with satisfactory evidence of
such status.
8.3 Non-Exclusivity of the Plan. Nothing contained in the Plan is intended to amend,
modify or rescind any previously approved compensation plans or programs entered into by the
Company. The Plan will be construed to be an addition to any and all such other plans or programs.
Neither the adoption
9
of the Plan nor the submission of the Plan to the shareholders of the Company for approval
will be construed as creating any limitations on the power or authority of the Board to adopt such
additional or other compensation arrangements as the Board may deem necessary or desirable.
ARTICLE 9. SHARE ISSUANCE AND TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS
9.1 Share Issuances. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or any
agreements entered into pursuant hereto, the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any
certificate for shares of Common Stock under this Plan (and an Option shall not be considered to be
exercised, notwithstanding the tender by the Optionee of any consideration therefor), unless and
until each of the following conditions has been fulfilled:
(a) (i) there shall be in effect with respect to such shares a registration statement
under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws, if the Board in its sole
discretion, shall have determined to file, cause to become effective and maintain the
effectiveness of such registration statement; or (ii) if the Board has determined not to so
register the shares of Common Stock to be issued under the Plan, (A) exemptions from
registration under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws shall be
available for such issuance (as determined by counsel to the Company) and (B) there shall
have been received from the Optionee (or, in the event of death or disability, the
Optionees heir(s) or legal representative(s)) any representations or agreements requested
by the Company in order to permit such issuance to be made pursuant to such exemptions; and
(b) there shall have been obtained any other consent, approval or permit from any state
or federal governmental agency which the Company shall, in its sole discretion upon the
advice of counsel, deem necessary or advisable.
9.2 Share Transfer. Shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to the exercise of Options
granted under the Plan may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, encumbered or otherwise
disposed of (whether voluntarily or involuntarily) except pursuant to registration under the
Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or pursuant to exemptions from such
registrations. The Company may condition the sale, assignment, transfer, pledge, encumbrance or
other disposition of such shares not issued pursuant to an effective and current registration
statement under the Securities Act and all applicable state securities laws on the receipt from the
party to whom the shares of Common Stock are to be so transferred of any representations or
agreements requested by the Company in order to permit such transfer to be made pursuant to
exemptions from registration under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws.
9.3 Legends. Unless a registration statement under the Securities Act is in effect
with respect to the issuance or transfer of shares of Common Stock issued under the Plan, each
certificate representing any such shares shall be endorsed with a legend in substantially the
following form, unless counsel for the Company is of the opinion as to any such certificate that
such legend is unnecessary:
THE SECURITIES EVIDENCED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF
1933, AS AMENDED (THE ACT), OR UNDER APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THESE
SECURITIES HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD,
ASSIGNED, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED, ENCUMBERED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF EXCEPT PURSUANT
TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT AND SUCH STATE LAWS OR PURSUANT
TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE ACT AND SUCH STATE
10
LAWS, THE AVAILABILITY OF WHICH IS TO BE ESTABLISHED TO THE SATISFACTION OF THE
COMPANY.
ARTICLE 10. PLAN AMENDMENT, MODIFICATION AND TERMINATION
The Board may suspend or terminate the Plan or any portion thereof at any time, and may amend
the Plan from time to time in such respects as the Board may deem advisable in order that
Incentive Stock Options and Non-Statutory Stock Options under the Plan shall conform to any change
in applicable laws or regulations or in any other respect that the Board may deem to be in the
best interests of the Company; provided, however, that no amendment shall, either directly or
indirectly, (a) materially increase the total number of shares of Common Stock as to which Options
may be granted under the Plan, except as provided in Section 4.3 of the Plan; (b) materially
increase the benefits accruing to Optionees under the Plan; or (c) materially modify the
requirements as to eligibility for participation in the Plan without the approval of the
shareholders, but only if such approval is required for compliance with the requirements of any
applicable law or regulation; and provided, further, that the Plan may not, without the approval of
the shareholders, be amended in any manner that will cause Incentive Stock Options to fail to meet
the requirements of Internal Revenue Code Section 422. No termination, suspension or amendment of
the Plan shall alter or impair any outstanding Option without the consent of the Optionee affected
thereby; provided, however, that this sentence shall not impair the right of the Board to take
whatever action it deems appropriate under Section 4.3.
ARTICLE 11. CHANGE IN CONTROL
If, during the term of an Option, (i) the Company merges or consolidates with any other
corporation and is not the surviving corporation after such merger or consolidation; (ii) the
Company transfers all or substantially all of its business and assets to any other person; or (iii)
more than 50% of the Companys outstanding voting shares are purchased by any other person, the
Board may, in its sole discretion, provide for the acceleration of the right to exercise the option
prior to the anticipated effective date of any of the foregoing transactions or take any other
action as it may deem appropriate to further the purposes of this Plan or protect the interests of
the Optionee.
ARTICLE 12. EFFECTIVE DATE OF THE PLAN
12.1 Effective Date. The Plan was effective as of February 26, 2005 (and amended on
May 23, 2006), and, as amended and restated, shall be effective as of March 27, 2007, subject to
the approval of the shareholders within 12 months. If shareholder approval for the amendment and
restatement is not obtained within such 12-month period, the Plan shall continue as in effect as of
February 26, 2005 (and as amended on May 23, 2006).
12.2 Duration of the Plan. The Plan shall terminate at midnight on December 14, 2014,
and may be terminated prior thereto by Board action, and no Options shall be granted after such
termination. Options outstanding upon termination of the Plan may continue to be exercised in
accordance with their terms.

accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Minnesota without regard to the conflict
of laws provisions of any jurisdictions. All parties agree to submit to the jurisdiction of the
state and federal courts of Minnesota with respect to matters relating to the Plan and agree not to
raise or assert the defense that such forum is not convenient for such party.

interpreted in such a manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any

remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Plan.
13.4 Successors and Assigns. This Plan shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit
of the successors and permitted assigns of the Company, including, without limitation, whether by
way of merger, consolidation, operation of law, assignment, purchase or other acquisition of

assigns shall absolutely and unconditionally assume all of the Companys obligations under the
Plan.
13.5 Survival of Provisions. The rights, remedies, agreements, obligations and
covenants contained in or made pursuant to the Plan, any agreement evidencing an Option and any
other notices or agreements in connection therewith, including, without limitation, any notice of
exercise of an Option, shall survive the execution and delivery of such notices and agreements and
the delivery and receipt of shares of Common Stock and shall remain in full force and effect.

B. Termination of Employment Due to Death, Disability or Retirement. In the event the
Optionees employment is terminated with the Company and all of its Subsidiaries (within the
meaning of Section 424(f) of the Code) by reason of death, an event that constitutes permanent and
total disability within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Code (Disability), or retirement
pursuant to and in accordance with the regular retirement plan or practice of the Company or the
Subsidiary employing the Optionee (Retirement), then this Option shall immediately become
exercisable with respect to one hundred percent (100%) of the Option Shares. Any unexercised
portion of this Option may be exercised, in whole or in part, by the Optionee (or by the Optionees
heirs or legal representative(s) in the event of death or Disability) before the earlier of (a) the
expiration of three months, in the case of Retirement, and one year, in the case of death or
Disability, after such date of termination, and (b) the Expiration Date. If the unexercised
portion of this Option is not exercised within the time specified in this Section III.B., all
rights of the Optionee hereunder shall terminate, and the Option shall thereafter be void.
C. Termination of Employment for Reasons Other Than Death, Disability or Retirement.
Except as provided in Section III.D. below, in the event the Optionees employment with the Company
or any of its Subsidiaries is terminated for any reason other than death, Disability or Retirement,
any unexercised portion of this Option which was exercisable as of the date of such termination may
be exercised, in whole or in part, by the Optionee before the earlier of (a) the expiration of
three months after the date of termination of employment, and (b) the Expiration Date. If the
unexercised portion of this Option is not exercised within the time specified in this Section
III.C., all rights of the Optionee hereunder shall terminate, and the Option shall thereafter be
void.
D. Change in Control.
(i) For purposes of this Section III.D., the term Change in Control shall have the
meaning set forth in Section 11 of the Plan.
(ii) If any events constituting a Change in Control of the Company shall occur, the
Optionee shall be entitled to receive option rights covering shares of the surviving or
acquiring entity in the same proportion, at an equivalent price, and subject to the same
conditions as this Option; provided, however, that the Committee may, at its sole
discretion, provide for the acceleration of the right to exercise this Option prior to the
anticipated effective date of the Change of Control or take any other action as it may deem
appropriate to further the purposes of the Plan or protect the interests of the Optionee;
provided, however, that if, with respect to the Optionee, acceleration of the vesting of
this Option as provided herein (which acceleration could be deemed a payment within the
meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code) together with any other payments which the
Optionee has the right to receive from the Company or any corporation which is a member of
an affiliated group (as defined in Section 1504(a) of the Code without regard to Section
2
1504(b) of the Code) of which the Company is a member, would constitute a parachute
payment (as defined in Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code), the payments to the Optionee as set
forth herein shall be reduced to the largest amount as will result in no portion of such
payments being subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code.
ARTICLE IV. MANNER OF OPTION EXERCISE
A. Notice. This Option may be exercised by the Optionee in whole or in part from time
to time, subject to the conditions contained in the Plan and herein, by delivery, in person or by
registered mail, to the Company at its principal executive office (Attention: Secretary), of a
written notice of exercise. Such notice shall be in a form satisfactory to the Committee, shall
identify the Option, shall specify the number of Option Shares with respect to which the Option is
being exercised, and shall be signed by the person or persons so exercising the Option. Such
notice shall be accompanied by payment in full of the total purchase price of the Option Shares
purchased. In the event that the Option is being exercised, as provided by the Plan and Section
III.B. above, by the Optionees heirs or legal representative(s), the notice shall be accompanied
by appropriate proof of right of such person or persons to exercise the Option. As soon as
practicable after the effective exercise of the Option, the Optionee (or the Optionees heirs or
legal representative(s) in the event of death or Disability) shall be recorded on the stock
transfer books of the Company as the owner of the Option Shares purchased, and the Company shall
deliver to the Optionee (or the Optionees heirs or legal representative(s)) one or more duly
issued stock certificates evidencing such ownership. All requisite original issue or transfer
documentary stamp taxes shall be paid by the Company.
B. Payment. At the time of exercise, the Optionee may pay the total purchase price of
the shares to be purchased (i) in cash, (ii) by transfer from the Optionee to the Company of
previously acquired shares of Common Stock, (iii) through the withholding of shares of Stock from
the number of shares otherwise issuable upon the exercise of the Option (e.g., a net share
settlement), or (iv) by a combination thereof; provided, however, that the Optionee may not pay any
portion of the purchase price through a net share settlement unless and until the shareholders of
the Company have approved an amendment to the Plan that authorizes such payment option.
In the event the Optionee elects to pay the purchase price in whole or in part with previously
acquired shares of Common Stock or through a net share settlement, the Fair Market Value of the
shares delivered or withheld shall equal the total exercise price for the shares being purchased in
such manner. The Committee may reject the Optionees election to pay all or part of the purchase
price under this Option with previously acquired shares of Common Stock and may require such
purchase price to be paid entirely in cash if, in the sole discretion of the Committee, payment in
previously acquired shares would cause the Company to be required to recognize a charge to earnings
in connection therewith. For purposes of this Agreement, (a) previously acquired shares shall
include shares of Common Stock of the Company that are already owned by the Optionee at the time of
exercise, and (b) Fair Market Value will be determined as set forth in the Plan.
C. Investment Purpose. The Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any
shares of Common Stock under this Option unless (a)(1) such shares are covered by an effective and
current registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933 and applicable state securities
laws or (2) if the Committee has determined not to so register such shares, exemptions from
registration under the Securities Act of 1933 and applicable state securities laws are available
for such issuance (as determined by counsel to the Company) and the Company has received from the Optionee (or
3
the Optionees heirs(s) or legal representative(s), in the event of death or Disability) any
representations or agreements requested by the Company in order to permit such issuance to be made
pursuant to such exemptions, and (b) the Company has obtained any other consent, approval or permit
from any state or federal governmental agency which the Committee shall, in its sole discretion
upon the advice of counsel, deem necessary or advisable. Unless a registration statement under the
Securities Act of 1933 is in effect with respect to the issuance or transfer of Option Shares, each
certificate representing any such shares shall be restricted by the Company as to transfer unless
the Company receives an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company to the effect that
registration under the Securities Act of 1933 and applicable state securities laws is not required
with respect to such transfer.
ARTICLE V. NONTRANSFERABILITY
This Option shall not be transferable by the Optionee, either voluntarily or involuntarily, or
subject to any lien, directly or indirectly, by operation of law or otherwise, except as provided
in Section 8.2 of the Plan. Any attempt to transfer or encumber this Option other than in
accordance with Section 8.2 of the Plan shall void this Option.
ARTICLE VI. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to (a) limit in any way the right of the Company
or any of its Subsidiaries to terminate the status of the Optionee as an employee of the Company at
any time, or (b) be evidence of any agreement or understanding, express or implied, that the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries will employ the Optionee in any particular position, at any
particular rate of compensation or for any particular period of time.
ARTICLE VII. DISPOSITION OF STOCK
Prior to making a disposition (as defined in Section 424(c) of the Code) of any shares of
Common Stock acquired pursuant to the exercise of this Option before the expiration of two years
after the date hereof or before the expiration of one year after the date on which such shares of
Common Stock were transferred to the Optionee pursuant to exercise of this Option, the Optionee
shall send written notice to the Company of the proposed date of such disposition, the number of
shares to be disposed of, the amount of proceeds to be received from such disposition and any other
information relating to such disposition that the Company may reasonably request. The right of the
Optionee to make such a disposition shall be conditioned on the receipt by the Company of all
amounts necessary to satisfy any federal, state or local withholding tax requirements attributable
to such disposition. The Committee shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to endorse the
certificates representing the Option Shares with a legend restricting transfer and to cause a stop
transfer order to be entered with the Companys transfer agent until such time as the Company
receives the amounts necessary to satisfy such withholding requirements or until the later of the
expiration of two years from the date hereof or one year from the date on which such shares were
transferred to the Optionee pursuant to the exercise of this Option.
4
ARTICLE VIII. WITHHOLDING TAXES
A. General Obligation. The Company is entitled to (a) withhold and deduct from future
payments to the Optionee, or make other arrangements for the collection of, all legally required
amounts necessary to satisfy any federal, state or local withholding tax requirements attributable
to the Optionees exercise of this Option, including, without limitation, a disposition of shares
of Common Stock described in Article VII above, that causes this Option to cease to qualify as an
incentive stock option within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code and the regulations
thereunder, or (b) require the Optionee promptly to remit the amount of such withholding to the
Company before acting on any such disposition of shares of Common Stock. In the event that the
Company is unable to withhold such amounts, for whatever reason, the Optionee hereby agrees to pay
to the Company an amount equal to the amount the Company would otherwise be required to withhold
under federal, state or local law.
B. Use of Shares. The Committee may, in its sole discretion and subject to such rules
as the Committee may adopt, permit the Optionee to satisfy, in whole or in part, any withholding
tax obligation which may arise in connection with the exercise of this Option either by electing to
have the Company withhold from the shares of Common Stock to be issued upon the exercise of this
Option that number of shares of Common Stock, or by electing to deliver to the Company
already-owned shares of Common Stock, in either case having a Fair Market Value (determined as set
forth in the Plan) on the date such tax is determined under the Code (the Tax Date) equal to the
amount necessary to satisfy the minimum required tax withholding amount based on the minimum
statutory withholding rates for federal and state tax purposes, including payroll taxes, that are
applicable to the supplemental income resulting from the option. In no event may the Company
withhold shares having a Fair Market Value in excess of such statutory minimum required tax
withholding. The Optionees election to have the company withhold shares of Common Stock or to
deliver already-owned shares of Common Stock upon exercise is irrevocable and is subject to the
consent or disapproval of the Committee and shall otherwise comply with such rules as the
Administrator may adopt to assure compliance with Rule 16b-3 or any successor provision, as then in
effect, of the General Rules and Regulations under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, if
applicable. To the extent that shares of Common Stock may be issued prior to the Tax Date to the
Optionee making such an election, the Optionee hereby agrees to surrender that number of shares on
the Tax Date having an aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as set forth in the Plan) equal to
the withholding tax due.
ARTICLE IX. CAPITAL ADJUSTMENTS
If the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is increased or decreased or changed into
or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares of stock or other securities of the Company
or of another corporation by reason of any reorganization, merger, consolidation, recapitalization,
reclassification, stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, combination of shares, rights
offering or any other change in the corporate structure or shares of the Company, the Committee
(or, if the Company is not the surviving corporation in any such transaction, the board of
directors of the surviving corporation), in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the rights
of the Optionee, shall make appropriate adjustment as to the number and kind of securities subject
to this Option. Any such adjustment affecting this Option shall be made without change in the
aggregate purchase price applicable to the unexercised portion of the Option but with an
appropriate
5
adjustment in the price for each share or other unit of any security subject to the Option. Without
the consent of the Optionee, however, no such change shall be made in the terms of the Option if
such change would disqualify the Option from treatment as an incentive stock option within the
meaning of Code Section 422, or any successor provision, or would be considered a modification,
extension or renewal of an option under Code Section 424(h), or any successor provision.

A. Lockup Period Limitation. The Optionee agrees that in the event the Company
advises the Optionee that it plans an underwritten public offering of its common stock in

restrictions under which certain shareholders may not sell or contract to sell or grant any option
to buy or otherwise dispose of part or all of their stock purchase rights of the underlying common
stock, the Optionee hereby agrees that for a period not to exceed 180 days from the prospectus, the

option or any of the underlying shares of common stock without the prior written consent of the
underwriter(s) or its representative(s).

rights so as to comply with any state securities or Blue Sky law limitations with respect thereto,
the Board of Directors of the Company shall have the right (i) to accelerate the exercisability of
this Option and the date on which this Option must be exercised, provided that the Company gives
the Optionee 15 days prior written notice of such acceleration, and (ii) to cancel any portion of

alleged breach of it, or the making of this Agreement, including claims of fraud and inducement,

Company.
B. The Company has adopted the 2005 Stock Option Plan (the Plan), authorizing the Board of
Directors of the Company, or a committee as provided for in the Plan (the Board or such a committee
to be referred to as the Committee), to grant stock options to eligible employees and directors
of the Company.
C. The Company desires to give the Optionee an inducement to acquire a proprietary interest in
the Company and an added incentive to advance the interests of the Company by granting to the
Optionee an option to purchase shares of common stock of the Company.
AGREEMENTS
Accordingly, the parties hereto agree as follows:
ARTICLE I. GRANT OF OPTION
The Company hereby grants to the Optionee on the date set forth above (the Date of Grant)
the right, privilege and option (the Option) to purchase ( ) shares
(subject to adjustment as provided in Article VIII hereof) (the Option Shares) of the Companys
common stock, $.01 par value (the Common Stock), according to the terms and subject to the
conditions hereinafter set forth and as set forth in the Plan. The Option is a nonqualified stock
option and will not be treated as an incentive stock option, as that term is used in Section 422 of
the Internal Revenue Code (the Code) and the regulations issued thereunder.
ARTICLE II. OPTION EXERCISE PRICE
The per share price to be paid by the Optionee in the event of an exercise of the Option shall
be $_________, which has been determined to be not less than the fair market value of the Companys
Common Stock at the Date of Grant.
ARTICLE III. DURATION OF OPTION AND EXERCISABILITY
A. Initial Period of Exercisability. The Option shall fully vest, or be fully
exercisable in _____ installments, on the Date of Grant. In no event shall this Option be
exercisable after, and this
1
Option shall become void and expire as to all unexercised Option Shares at, 5.00 p.m. (Central
time) on ____________ (the Expiration Date).
B. Termination of Nonemployee. In the event the Optionees affiliation with the
Company terminates (within the meaning of Section 424(f) of the Code) for any reason other than for
cause, this Option shall remain exercisable until the Expiration Date but only to the extent that
the Option was exercisable on the date of termination but had not previously been exercised. In
the event the Optionee is terminated for cause, this Option shall immediately terminate on the
date of such termination and shall be of no further force or effect. As used herein, cause shall
mean fraud, misrepresentation, theft or embezzlement of Company assets or material and intentional
violations of law or Company policies.
C. Change in Control.
(i) For purposes of this Section III.C., the term Change in Control shall have the
meaning set forth in Section 11 of the Plan.
(ii) If any events constituting a Change in Control of the Company shall occur, the
Optionee shall be entitled to receive option rights covering shares of the surviving or
acquiring entity in the same proportion, at an equivalent price, and subject to the same
conditions as this Option; provided, however, that the Committee may, at its sole
discretion, provide for the acceleration of the right to exercise this Option prior to the
anticipated effective date of the Change in Control or take any other action as it may deem
appropriate to further the purposes of the Plan or protect the interests of the Optionee;
provided, however, that if, with respect to the Optionee, acceleration of the vesting of
this Option as provided herein (which acceleration could be deemed a payment within the
meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code) together with any other payments which the
Optionee has the right to receive from the Company or any corporation which is a member of
an affiliated group (as defined in Section 1504(a) of the Code without regard to Section
1504(b) of the Code) of which the Company is a member, would constitute a parachute
payment (as defined in Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code), the payments to the Optionee as set
forth herein shall be reduced to the largest amount as will result in no portion of such
payments being subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code
ARTICLE IV. MANNER OF OPTION EXERCISE
A. Notice. This Option may be exercised by the Optionee in whole or in part from time
to time, subject to the conditions contained in the Plan and herein, by delivery, in person or by
registered mail, to the Company at its principal executive office (Attention: Secretary), of a
written notice of exercise. Such notice shall be in a form satisfactory to the Committee, shall
identify the Option, shall specify the number of Option Shares with respect to which the Option is
being exercised, and shall be signed by the person or persons so exercising the Option. Such
notice shall be accompanied by payment in full of the total purchase price of the Option Shares
purchased. In the event that the Option is being exercised, as provided by the Plan, by the
Optionees heir(s) or legal representative(s), the notice shall be accompanied by appropriate proof
of right of such person or persons to exercise the Option. As soon as practicable after the
effective exercise of the Option,
2
the Optionee (or the Optionees heir(s) or legal representative(s) in the event of death or
Disability) shall be recorded on the stock transfer books of the Company as the owner of the Option
Shares purchased, and the Company shall deliver to the Optionee (or the Optionees heir(s) or legal
representative(s)) one or more duly issued stock certificates evidencing such ownership. All
requisite original issue or transfer documentary stamp taxes shall be paid by the Company.
B. Payment. At the time of exercise, the Optionee may pay the total purchase price of
the shares to be purchased (i) in cash, (ii) by transfer from the Optionee to the Company of
previously acquired shares of Common Stock, (iii) through the withholding of shares of Stock from
the number of shares otherwise issuable upon the exercise of the Option (e.g., a net share
settlement), or (iv) by a combination thereof; provided, however, that the Optionee may not pay any
portion of the purchase price through a net share settlement unless and until the shareholders of
the Company have approved an amendment to the Plan that authorizes such payment option.
In the event the Optionee elects to pay the purchase price in whole or in part with previously
acquired shares of Common Stock or through a net share settlement, the Fair Market Value of the
shares delivered or withheld shall equal the total exercise price for the shares being purchased in
such manner. The Committee may reject the Optionees election to pay all or part of the purchase
price under this Option with previously acquired shares of Common Stock and may require such
purchase price to be paid entirely in cash if, in the sole discretion of the Committee, payment in
previously acquired shares would cause the Company to be required to recognize a charge to earnings
in connection therewith. For purposes of this Agreement, (a) previously acquired shares shall
include shares of Common Stock of the Company that are already owned by the Optionee at the time of
exercise, and (b) Fair Market Value will be determined as set forth in the Plan.
C. Investment Purpose. The Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any
shares of Common Stock under this Option unless (a)(1) such shares are covered by an effective and
current registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933 and applicable state securities
laws or (2) if the Committee has determined not to so register such shares, exemptions from
registration under the Securities Act of 1933 and applicable state securities laws are available
for such issuance (as determined by counsel to the Company) and the Company has received from the
Optionee (or the Optionees heir(s) or legal representative(s), in the event of death or
Disability) any representations or agreements requested by the Company in order to permit such
issuance to be made pursuant to such exemptions, and (b) the Company has obtained any other
consent, approval or permit from any state or federal governmental agency which the Committee
shall, in its sole discretion upon the advice of counsel, deem necessary or advisable. Unless a
registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933 is in effect with respect to the issuance
or transfer of Option Shares, each certificate representing any such shares shall be restricted by
the Company as to transfer unless the Company receives an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the
Company to the effect that registration under the Securities Act of 1933 and applicable state
securities laws is not required with respect to such transfer.
ARTICLE V. NONTRANSFERABILITY
This Option shall not be transferable by the Optionee, either voluntarily or involuntarily, or
subject to any lien, directly or indirectly, by operation of law or otherwise, except as provided
in
3
Section 8.2 of the Plan. Any attempt to transfer or encumber this Option other than in accordance
with Section 8.2 of the Plan shall void this Option.
ARTICLE VI. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to (a) limit in any way the right of the Company
or any of its subsidiaries to remove the Optionee as a director of the Company at any time, or (b)
be evidence of any agreement or understanding, express or implied, that the Optionee will be
re-elected as a director for any particular period of time.
ARTICLE VII. WITHHOLDING TAXES
A. General Obligation. The Company is entitled to (a) withhold and deduct from future
payments to the Optionee, or make other arrangements for the collection of, all legally required
amounts necessary to satisfy any federal, state or local withholding tax requirements attributable
to the Optionees exercise of this Option, or (b) require the Optionee promptly to remit the amount
of such withholding to the Company before acting on any such disposition of shares of Common Stock.
In the event that the Company is unable to withhold such amounts, for whatever reason, the
Optionee hereby agrees to pay to the Company an amount equal to the amount the Company would
otherwise be required to withhold under federal, state or local law.
B. Use of Shares. The Committee may, in its sole discretion and subject to such rules
as the Committee may adopt, permit the Optionee to satisfy, in whole or in part, any withholding
tax obligation which may arise in connection with the exercise of this Option either by electing to
have the Company withhold from the shares of Common Stock to be issued upon the exercise of this
Option that number of shares of Common Stock, or by electing to deliver to the Company
already-owned shares of Common Stock, in either case having a Fair Market Value (determined as set
forth in the Plan) on the date such tax is determined under the Code (the Tax Date) equal to the
amount necessary to satisfy the withholding amount due. The Optionees election to have the
Company withhold shares of Common Stock or to deliver already-owned shares of Common Stock upon
exercise is irrevocable and is subject to the consent or disapproval of the Committee, and shall
otherwise comply with such rules as the Administrator may adopt to assure compliance with Rule
16b-3 or any successor provision, as then in effect, under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, if
applicable. To the extent that shares of Common Stock may be issued prior to the Tax Date to the
Optionee making such an election, the Optionee hereby agrees to surrender that number of shares on
the Tax Date having an aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as set forth in the Plan) equal to
the withholding tax due.
ARTICLE VIII. CAPITAL ADJUSTMENTS
If the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is increased or decreased or changed into
or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares of stock or other securities of the Company
or of another corporation by reason of any reorganization, merger, consolidation, recapitalization,
reclassification, stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, combination of shares, rights
offering or any other change in the corporate structure or shares of the Company, the Committee
(or, if the Company is not the surviving corporation in any such transaction, the board of
4
directors of the surviving corporation), in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the
rights of the Optionee, shall make appropriate adjustment as to the number and kind of securities
subject to this Option. Any such adjustment affecting this Option shall be made without change in
the aggregate purchase price applicable to the unexercised portion of the Option but with an
appropriate adjustment in the price for each share or other unit of any security subject to the
Option.
ARTICLE IX. BINDING EFFECT
This Agreement shall be binding upon the heirs, executors, administrators and successors of
the parties hereto.
ARTICLE X. SUBJECT TO PLAN
The Option represented by this Agreement has been granted under, and is subject to, the terms
of the Plan. The terms of the Plan are hereby incorporated by reference herein in their entirety
and the Optionee, by execution hereof, acknowledges having received a copy of the Plan. The
provisions of this Agreement shall be interpreted as to be consistent with the Plan and any
ambiguities herein shall be interpreted by reference to the Plan. In the event that any provision
hereof is inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, the latter shall prevail.
ARTICLE XI. MISCELLANEOUS
A. Lockup Period Limitation. The Optionee agrees that in the event the Company
advises the Optionee that it plans an underwritten public offering of its common stock in
compliance with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and that the underwriter(s) seek to impose
restrictions under which certain shareholders may not sell or contract to sell or grant any option
to buy or otherwise dispose of part or all of their stock purchase rights of the underlying common
stock, the Optionee hereby agrees that for a period not to exceed 180 days from the prospectus, the
Optionee will not sell or contract to sell or grant an option to buy or otherwise dispose of this
option or any of the underlying shares of common stock without the prior written consent of the
underwriter(s) or its representative(s).

in the event the Company makes any public offering of its securities and determines in its sole
discretion that it is necessary to reduce the number of issued but unexercised stock purchase
rights so as to comply with any state securities or Blue Sky law limitations with respect thereto,
the Board of Directors of the Company shall have the right (i) to accelerate the exercisability of
this Option and the date on which this Option must be exercised, provided that the Company gives
the Optionee 15 days prior written notice of such acceleration, and (ii) to cancel any portion of
this Option or any other option granted to the Optionee pursuant to this Agreement which is not
exercised prior to or contemporaneously with such public offering. Notice shall be deemed given
when delivered personally or when deposited in the United States mail, first class postage prepaid
and addressed to the Optionee at the address of the Optionee on file with the Company.
C. Securities Law Compliance. The Optionee agrees that, in the event a Change in
Control occurs and the Optionee is an affiliate of the Company or any Subsidiary (as defined
5
in applicable regulations) at the time of such Change in Control, the Optionee will comply with all
requirements of Rule 145 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the requirements of such
other regulations, and will execute any documents necessary to ensure such compliance. For
purposes of this Agreement, Change in Control means an acquisition of the Company through the

brought to the attention of the arbitrator who may dispose of such disputes. The arbitrator shall
have the authority to award any remedy or relief that a court of this state could order or grant;
provided, however, that punitive or exemplary damages shall not be awarded. The arbitrator may
award to the prevailing party, if any, as determined by the arbitrator, all of its costs and fees,
including the arbitrators fee, administrative fees, travel expenses, out-of-pocket expenses and

of the Plan. The following shares of Stock shall continue to be reserved and available for Awards
granted
3
pursuant to the Plan: (i) any outstanding Award that expires for any reason, (ii) any portion of an
Award that is terminated prior to the lapsing of the risks of forfeiture on such Award, (iii)
shares of Stock used to satisfy any tax withholding obligation attributable to any Award, whether
such shares are withheld by the Company or tendered by the Participant, and (iv) shares of Stock
covered by an Award to the extent the Award is settled in cash.
SECTION 7.
DURATION OF PLAN
Awards may be granted pursuant to the Plan from time to time after the effective date of the
Plan and until the Plan is discontinued or terminated by the Board of Directors.
SECTION 8.
RESTRICTED STOCK AWARDS
Each Restricted Stock Award granted pursuant to the Plan shall be evidenced by a written
restricted stock agreement (the Restricted Stock Agreement). The Restricted Stock Agreement
shall be in such form as may be approved from time to time by the Board (upon recommendation of the
Committee in the case of Section 16 Officers) or by the Committee (in the case of other
Participants) and may vary from Participant to Participant; provided, however, that each
Participant and each Restricted Stock Agreement shall comply with and be subject to the following
terms and conditions:
(a) Number of Shares. The Restricted Stock Agreement shall state the total number of
shares of Stock covered by the Restricted Stock Award. In no event shall a Participant be granted
Restricted Stock Awards during any fiscal year of the Company covering in the aggregate more than
One Hundred Twenty-Five Thousand (125,000) shares of Stock, subject to adjustment as provided in
Section 9.
(b) Risks of Forfeiture. The Restricted Stock Agreement shall set forth the risks of
forfeiture, if any, including risks of forfeiture based on Performance Objectives, which shall
apply to the shares of Stock covered by the Restricted Stock Award, and shall specify the manner in
which such risks of forfeiture shall lapse. The Board (upon recommendation of the Committee in the
case of Section 16 Officers) or the Committee (in the case of other Participants) may, in its sole
discretion, modify the manner in which such risks of forfeiture shall lapse but only with respect
to those shares of Stock which are restricted as of the effective date of the modification.
(c) Issuance of Shares; Rights as Shareholder. The Company shall cause to be issued a
stock certificate representing such shares of Stock in the Participants name, and shall hold such
certificate until such time as the risks of forfeiture and other transfer restrictions set forth in
the Restricted Stock Agreement have lapsed with respect to the shares represented by the
certificate. The Company may also place a legend on such certificate describing the risks of
forfeiture and other transfer restrictions set forth in the Participants Restricted Stock
Agreement and providing for the cancellation and return of such certificate if the shares of Stock
subject to the Restricted Stock Award are forfeited. Until the risks of forfeiture have lapsed or
the shares subject to such Restricted Stock Award have been forfeited, the Participant shall be
entitled to vote the shares of Stock represented by such stock certificates and shall receive all
dividends attributable to such shares, but the Participant shall not have any other rights as a
shareholder with respect to such shares.
(d) Withholding Taxes. The Company or its Affiliate shall be entitled to withhold and
deduct from future wages of the Participant all legally required amounts necessary to satisfy any
and all withholding and employment-related taxes attributable to the Participants Restricted Stock
Award. In the event the Participant is required under the Restricted Stock Agreement to pay the
Company, or make
4
arrangements satisfactory to the Company respecting payment of, such withholding and
employment-related taxes, the Board (upon recommendation of the Committee in the case of Section 16
Officers) or the Committee (in the case of other Participants) may, in its discretion and pursuant
to such rules as it may adopt, permit the Participant to satisfy such obligations, in whole or in
part, by delivering shares of Common Stock, including shares of Stock received pursuant to the
Restricted Stock Award on which the risks of forfeiture have lapsed. Such shares shall have a Fair
Market Value equal to the minimum required tax withholding, based on the minimum statutory
withholding rates for federal and state tax purposes, including payroll taxes, that are applicable
to the supplemental income resulting from the lapsing of the risks of forfeiture on such restricted
stock. In no event may the Participant deliver shares having a Fair Market Value in excess of such
statutory minimum required tax withholding. The Participants election to deliver shares of Common
Stock for this purpose shall be made on or before the date that the amount of tax to be withheld is
determined under applicable tax law. Such election shall be approved by the Board (upon
recommendation of the Committee in the case of Section 16 Officers) or by the Committee (in the
case of other Participants) and otherwise comply with such rules as may be in effect to assure
compliance with Rule 16b-3, or any successor provision, as then in effect, of the General Rules and
Regulations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, if applicable.
(e) Nontransferability. No Restricted Stock Award shall be transferable, in whole or
in part, by the Participant, other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, prior
to the date the risks of forfeiture described in the Restricted Stock Agreement have lapsed. If
the Participant shall attempt any transfer of any Restricted Stock Award granted under the Plan
prior to such date, such transfer shall be void and the Restricted Stock Award shall terminate.
(f) Other Provisions. The Restricted Stock Agreement authorized under this Section 8
shall contain such other provisions as the Board (upon recommendation of the Committee in the case
of Section 16 Officers) or the Committee (in the case of other Participants) shall deem advisable.
SECTION 9.
RECAPITALIZATION, SALE, MERGER, EXCHANGE
OR LIQUIDATION
In the event of an increase or decrease in the number of shares of Common Stock resulting from
a stock dividend, stock split, reverse split, combination or reclassification of the Common Stock,
or any other increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of Common Stock effected without
receipt of consideration by the Company, the Board may, in its sole discretion, adjust the number
of shares of Stock reserved under Section 6 hereof and the number of shares of Stock covered by
each outstanding Award to reflect such change. Additional shares which may become covered by the
Award pursuant to such adjustment shall be subject to the same restrictions as are applicable to
the shares with respect to which the adjustment relates.
Unless otherwise provided in the Restricted Stock Agreement evidencing an Award, in the event
of an acquisition of the Company through the sale of substantially all of the Companys assets and
the consequent discontinuance of its business or through a merger, consolidation, exchange,
reorganization, reclassification, extraordinary dividend, divestiture (including a spin-off),
liquidation, recapitalization, stock split, stock dividend or otherwise (collectively referred to
as a transaction), the Board may provide for one or more of the following:
(a) the equitable acceleration of the lapsing of the risks of forfeiture on any Restricted
Stock Awards;
5
(b) the complete termination of this Plan and the cancellation of any Restricted Stock Awards
for which the risks of forfeiture have not lapsed;
(c) that Participants holding outstanding Restricted Stock Awards shall receive, with respect
to each share of Stock subject to such Awards, as of the effective date of any such transaction,
cash in an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of such Stock on the date immediately preceding
the effective date of such transaction; provided, that the Board may, in lieu of such cash payment,
distribute to such Participants shares of Common Stock of the Company or shares of stock of any
corporation succeeding the Company by reason of such transaction, such shares having a value equal
to the cash payment herein; and
(d) the continuance of the Plan with respect to Restricted Stock Awards for which the risks of
forfeiture have not lapsed as of the date of adoption by the Board of such plan for such
transaction and the right to receive an equivalent number of shares of stock of the corporation
succeeding the Company by reason of such transaction.
The Board may restrict the rights of or the applicability of this Section 9 to the extent necessary
to comply with Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Internal Revenue Code or
any other applicable law or regulation. The grant of an Award pursuant to the Plan shall not limit
in any way the right or power of the Company to make adjustments, reclassifications,
reorganizations or changes of its capital or business structure or to merge, exchange or
consolidate or to dissolve, liquidate, sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets.
SECTION 10.
INVESTMENT PURPOSE
No shares of Stock shall be issued pursuant to the Plan unless and until there has been
compliance, in the opinion of Companys counsel, with all applicable legal requirements, including
without limitation, those relating to securities laws and stock exchange listing requirements. As
a condition to the issuance of Stock to Participant, the Company may require Participant to (a)
represent that the shares of Stock are being acquired for investment and not resale and to make
such other representations as the Company shall deem necessary or appropriate to qualify the
issuance of the shares as exempt from the Securities Act of 1933 and any other applicable
securities laws, and (b) represent that Participant shall not dispose of the shares of Stock in
violation of the Securities Act of 1933 or any other applicable securities laws.
As a further condition to the grant of any Option or the issuance of Stock to Participant,
Participant agrees to the following:
(a) In the event the Company advises Participant that it plans an underwritten public offering
of its Common Stock in compliance with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the
underwriter(s) seek to impose restrictions under which certain shareholders may not sell or
contract to sell or grant any option to buy or otherwise dispose of part or all of their stock
purchase rights of the Common Stock underlying Awards, Participant will not, for a period not to
exceed 180 days from the prospectus, sell or contract to sell or grant an option to buy or
otherwise dispose of any Award granted to Participant pursuant to the Plan or any of the underlying
shares of Common Stock without the prior written consent of the underwriter(s) or its
representative(s).
(b) In the event the Company makes any public offering of its securities and determines in its
sole discretion that it is necessary to reduce the number of issued but unexercised stock purchase
rights so as to comply with any states securities or Blue Sky law limitations with respect
thereto, the Board of
6
Directors of the Company shall have the right (i) to accelerate the vesting of any Award, provided
that the Company gives Participant prior written notice of such acceleration, or (ii) to cancel any
Awards or portions thereof.
(c) In the event of a transaction (as defined in Section 14 of the Plan), Participant will
comply with Rule 145 of the Securities Act of 1933 and any other restrictions imposed under other
applicable legal or accounting principles if Participant is an affiliate (as defined in such
applicable legal and accounting principles) at the time of the transaction, and Participant will
execute any documents necessary to ensure compliance with such rules.
The Company reserves the right to place a legend on any stock certificate issued in connection
with an Award pursuant to the Plan to assure compliance with this Section 10.

SECTION 11.
AMENDMENT OF THE PLAN
The Board may from time to time, insofar as permitted by law, suspend or discontinue the Plan
or revise or amend it in any respect; provided, however, that no such revision or amendment, except
as is authorized in Section 9, shall impair the terms and conditions of any Award which is
outstanding on the date of such revision or amendment to the material detriment of the Participant
without the consent of the Participant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such revision or
amendment shall (i) materially increase the number of shares subject to the Plan except as provided
in Section 9 hereof, (ii) change the designation of the class of employees eligible to receive
Awards, or (iii) materially increase the benefits accruing to Participants under the Plan without
the approval of the shareholders of the Company if such approval is required for compliance with
the requirements of any applicable law or regulation.

3. General Provisions.
a. Employment or Other Relationship. This Agreement shall not confer on Participant
any right with respect to continued employment by the Company or any of its Affiliates, nor will it
interfere in any way with the right of the Company or any Affiliate to terminate such employment.
Except as otherwise provided in an employment agreement between the Participant and the Company,
the Participants employment relationship with the Company and its Affiliates shall be
employment-at-will, and nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as creating an employment
contract for any specified term between Participant and the Company or any Affiliate.
b. Mergers, Recapitalizations, Stock Splits, Etc. Pursuant and subject to Section 9
of the Plan, certain changes in the number or character of the shares of Stock of the Company
(through sale, merger, consolidation, exchange, reorganization, divestiture (including a spin-off),
liquidation, recapitalization, stock split, stock dividend, or otherwise) shall result in an
adjustment, reduction, or enlargement, as appropriate, in the number of shares subject to this
Award. Any additional shares that are credited pursuant to such adjustment shall be subject to the
same restrictions as are applicable to the shares with respect to which the adjustment relates.
2
c. Shares Reserved. The Company shall at all times during the term of this Award
reserve and keep available such number of shares as will be sufficient to satisfy the requirements
of this Agreement.
d. Withholding Taxes. To permit the Company to comply with all applicable federal and
state income tax laws or regulations, the Company may take such action as it deems appropriate to
ensure that, if necessary, all applicable federal and state payroll, income or other taxes are
withheld from any amounts payable by the Company to the Participant. If the Company is unable to
withhold such federal and state taxes, for whatever reason, the Participant hereby agrees to pay to
the Company an amount equal to the amount the Company would otherwise be required to withhold under
federal or state law prior to the transfer of any certificates for the shares of Stock subject to
this Award. Subject to such rules as the Administrator may adopt, the Administrator may, in its
sole discretion, permit Participant to satisfy such withholding tax obligations, in whole or in
part, by delivering shares of Common Stock, including shares of Stock received pursuant to this
Award on which the risks of forfeiture have lapsed. Such shares shall have a Fair Market Value
equal to the minimum required tax withholding, based on the minimum statutory withholding rates for
federal and state tax purposes, including payroll taxes, that are applicable to the supplemental
income resulting from the lapsing of the risks of forfeiture on the shares of Stock subject to this
Award. In no event may Participant deliver shares having a Fair Market Value in excess of such
statutory minimum required tax withholding. Participants election to deliver shares for purposes
of such withholding tax obligations shall be made on or before the date that the amount of tax to
be withheld is determined under applicable tax law, shall be approved by the Administrator, and
shall otherwise comply with such rules as the Administrator may adopt to assure compliance with
Rule 16b 3, or any successor provision, as then in effect, of the General Rules and Regulations
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, if applicable.
e. 2007 Equity Incentive Plan. The Award evidenced by this Agreement is granted
pursuant to the Plan, a copy of which Plan has been made available to the Participant and is hereby
incorporated into this Agreement. This Agreement is subject to and in all respects limited and
conditioned as provided in the Plan. All defined terms of the Plan shall have the same meaning
when used in this Agreement. The Plan governs this Award and, in the event of any questions as to
the construction of this Agreement or in the event of a conflict between the Plan and this
Agreement, the Plan shall govern, except as the Plan otherwise provides.
f. Lockup Period Limitation. Participant agrees that in the event the Company advises
Participant that it plans an underwritten public offering of its Common Stock in compliance with
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and that the underwriter(s) seek to impose restrictions
under which certain shareholders may not sell or contract to sell or grant any option to buy or
otherwise dispose of part or all of their stock purchase rights of the underlying Common Stock,
Participant hereby agrees that for a period not to exceed 180 days from the prospectus, Participant
will not sell or contract to sell or grant an option to buy or otherwise dispose of this Award or
any of the underlying shares of Common Stock without the prior written consent of the
underwriter(s) or its representative(s).
3
g. Blue Sky Limitation. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary,
in the event the Company makes any public offering of its securities and it is determined that it
is necessary to reduce the number of issued but unexercised stock purchase rights so as to comply
with any state securities or Blue Sky law limitations with respect thereto, the Board of Directors
of the Company shall have the right (i) to accelerate the vesting of this Award, provided that the
Company gives Participant 15-days advance written notice of such acceleration, or (ii) to cancel
all or any portion of this Award. Notice shall be deemed given when delivered personally or when
deposited in the United States mail, first class postage prepaid and addressed to Participant at
the address of Participant on file with the Company.
h. Accounting Compliance. Participant agrees that, if a merger, reorganization,
liquidation or other transaction as defined in Section 9 of the Plan occurs, and Participant is
an affiliate of the Company or any Affiliate (as defined in applicable legal and accounting
principles) at the time of such transaction, Participant will comply with all requirements of Rule
145 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the requirements of such other legal or
accounting principles, and will execute any documents necessary to ensure such compliance.
i. Stock Legend. The Administrator may require that the certificates for any shares
of Common Stock purchased by Participant (or, in the case of death, Participants successors) shall
bear an appropriate legend to reflect the restrictions of Paragraphs 3(f) through 3(h) of this
Agreement; provided, however, that failure to so endorse any of such certificates shall not render
invalid or inapplicable Paragraphs 3(f) through 3(h).
j. Scope of Agreement. This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the
Company and its successors and assigns and of the Participant and any successor or successors of
the Participant.
k. Arbitration. Any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the
alleged breach of it, or the making of this Agreement, including claims of fraud in the inducement,
shall be discussed between the disputing parties in a good faith effort to arrive at a mutual
settlement of any such controversy. If, notwithstanding, such dispute cannot be resolved, such
dispute shall be settled by binding arbitration. Judgment upon the award rendered by the
arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The arbitrator shall be a
retired state or federal judge or an attorney who has practiced securities or business litigation
for at least 10 years. If the parties cannot agree on an arbitrator within 20 days, any party may
request that the chief judge of the District Court for Hennepin County, Minnesota, select an
arbitrator. Arbitration will be conducted pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, and the
commercial arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association, unless such rules are
inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement. Limited civil discovery shall be permitted
only for the production of documents. Unresolved discovery disputes may be brought to the
attention of the arbitrator who may dispose of such dispute. The arbitrator shall have the
authority to award any remedy or relief that a court of this state could order or grant; provided,
however, that punitive or exemplary damages shall not be awarded. The arbitrator may award to the
prevailing party, if any, as determined by the arbitrator, all of its costs and fees, including the
arbitrators fees, administrative fees, travel expenses, out-of-pocket expenses and reasonable
4
attorneys fees. Unless otherwise agreed by the parties, the place of any arbitration proceedings
shall be Hennepin County, Minnesota.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be executed on the day
and year first above written.
