Award theretofore granted shall be adjusted so that such Stock Award shall thereafter cover the
number and class of shares of stock and securities to which the holder of the Stock Award would
have been entitled pursuant to the terms of the recapitalization if, imme diately prior to the
recapitalization, the holder had been the holder of record of the number of shares of Stock the n

requirements of Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Securities Act, as such rule is currently in
effect or as hereinafter modified or amended (“Rule 16b-3”). If any provision of the Plan or any
such Stock Award would disqualify the Plan or such Stock Award under, or would not otherwise

§18.103 To approve a Stock Incentive Plan which provides for the grant of Incentive Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights (with a copy of the Stock Incentive Plan)
Proposal (2)
Approval of 1997 Incentive Stock Option Plan
In June 1986, shareholders authorized the 1986 Incentive Stock Option Plan of the
Company. That plan for 150,000 shares expired in March 1996, although the Company has
reserved 60,000 shares of its Common Stock for issuance under pre-existing options. At present,
the Company has no means to issue options for freely tradeable, tax-favored shares of Common
Stock to its officers and employees.
On January 9, 1997, the Board of Directors authorized, effective upon approval by the
shareholders, the 1997 Incentive Stock Option Plan (the “ISO Plan”), a copy of which is
Appendix A hereof. The ISO Plan permits the grant to officers and key employees of the
Company and its subsidiaries of options to purchase up to 500,000 shares of the Common Stock.
The purpose of the ISO Plan is to enable the Company and its subsidiaries to secure and ret ain
the services of highly qualified persons and to promote in their employees additional i nterest in
the successful operation of the business.
Rule 16b-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, provides that the
acquisition of stock pursuant to a stock option is a transaction exempt from the provisions of
Section 16(b) under such Act if, among other requirements, the affirmative vote of holders of a t
least a majority of the outstanding Common Stock is obtained for approval of the ISO Plan. T he
ISO Plan is being submitted for shareholder approval in order to comply with that require ment of
Rule 16b-3 as well as certain federal tax law provisions. The Board of Directors recommends
that shareholders vote for the ISO Plan.
