RESOLVED, that the term of stock options held by a Director who
retires (whether by resignation or by expiration of his or her term of
office) from the board within six months of the date of an annual
meeting of shareholders held on a date on which he or she would be in
excess of seventy (70) years of age, shall not terminate as a result
of his or her retirement but shall continue until terminated by the

death or disability; provided, however, no unvested stock options
shall vest during the period after service as an active Director by
virtue of the extension of the term provided by this resolution.
