A:	The Board recommends a vote "FOR" each of the director nominees and “FOR” each of Proposals 2, 3 and 4.

Q:	How do I vote my shares?
A:	The answer depends on whether you own your inTEST shares directly (that is, you hold stock certificates or your shares are registered directly in your name with our transfer agent) or if your shares are held in a brokerage account or by another nominee holder.

	If you own inTEST shares directly (i.e. you are the stockholder of record): your proxy is being solicited directly by us, and you can vote by mail, by telephone, via the Internet before the Annual Meeting or via the Internet during the Annual Meeting, as described below.

	If you would like to vote by mail, please do the following: (1) mark the boxes indicating how you wish to vote, (2) sign and date the enclosed proxy card, and (3) return the proxy card in the prepaid envelope provided. If you sign your proxy card but do not indicate how you wish to vote, the proxies will vote your shares “FOR” each of the director nominees, “FOR” each of Proposals 2, 3 and 4, and, in their discretion, on any other matter that properly comes before the meeting.

	If you would like to vote by telephone or via the Internet before the Annual Meeting, you can call 800-652-VOTE (8683) or visit www.investorvote.com/INTT which can also be found on your enclosed proxy card. If you would like to vote via the Internet during the Annual Meeting, you may click on the “Cast Your Vote” link on the Meeting Center website at www.meetingcenter.io/225500963.

	If you hold your inTEST shares through a broker, bank or other nominee: you will receive a voting instruction card directly from your broker, bank or other nominee describing how to vote your shares. If you receive a voting instruction card, you can vote by completing and returning the voting instruction card. If you fail to specify your voting instructions on the election of directors in Proposal 1 or on Proposals 2 and 4, your broker cannot direct the voting of your shares. Therefore, please be sure to mark your voting choices on your voting instruction card before you return it. You may also be able to vote by telephone or via the Internet before the Annual Meeting. Please refer to the instructions provided with your voting instruction card for information about voting by these methods.

	If you hold your inTEST shares through a nominee and want to vote at the Annual Meeting, you must obtain a "legal proxy" from the nominee recordholder authorizing you to vote at the Annual Meeting. If you hold your shares through an intermediary, such as a bank or broker, you must register in advance to attend the Annual Meeting, unless you plan to attend as a guest. To register, you must obtain a legal proxy, executed in your favor, from the holder of record and submit proof of your legal proxy reflecting the number of shares of common stock you held as of the record date, along with your name and email address, to Computershare. Please forward the e-mail from your broker, or attach an image of your legal proxy to legalproxy@computershare.com or mail a printed copy of your legal proxy to inTEST Corporation Legal Proxy, P.O. Box 43001, Providence, RI 02940-3001. Requests for registration must be labeled as “Legal Proxy” and be received no later than 5:00 P.M. (Eastern Daylight Time) on June 18, 2021.

At the time of the meeting, visit www.meetingcenter.io/225500963 and enter your control number and the meeting password, INTT2021.

Q:	What if I want to change my vote or revoke my proxy?
A:	If you are a stockholder of record, you may change your vote or revoke your proxy at any time before the meeting by (i) notifying our corporate Secretary, Hugh T. Regan, Jr., in writing at 804 East Gate Drive, Suite 200, Mt. Laurel, New Jersey 08054 that you revoke your proxy, (ii) voting during the meeting, or (iii) submitting a new proxy card. You may contact our Transfer Agent, Computershare Investor Services, at (800) 589-9469, to get a new proxy card. We will count your vote in accordance with the last instructions we receive from you prior to the closing of the polls, whether your instructions are received by Internet, telephone, mail or during the meeting. If you hold your shares through a broker, bank or other nominee and wish to change your vote, you must follow the procedures required by your nominee.

Q:	What is a quorum?
A:	The presence at the meeting (in person or by proxy) of a majority of the shares entitled to vote at the meeting constitutes a quorum. A quorum must be present in order to convene the meeting. Both abstentions and broker non-votes (described below) are counted as present for determining the presence of quorum.

Q:	How will directors be elected?
A:	A plurality of the votes cast at the meeting is required for the election of directors. This means that the director nominee with the most votes for a particular director seat is elected to that seat.

Q:	How will the outcome of the proposal to approve the ESPP be determined?
A:	To approve the ESPP, a majority in voting power of the shares of stock which are present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the meeting must be voted in favor of the proposal.

Q:	How will the outcome of the proposal to ratify the appointment of our independent registered public accounting firm be determined?
A:	To ratify the appointment of the independent registered public accounting firm, a majority in voting power of the shares of stock which are present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the meeting must be voted in favor of the proposal.

Q:	What vote is required to approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of our named executive officers?
A:	To approve the compensation of our named executive officers, a majority in voting power of the shares of stock which are present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the meeting must be voted in favor of the proposal. The results of this stockholder vote are non-binding.

Q:	What is the effect if I fail to give voting instructions to my broker or other nominee?
A:	If your shares are held by a broker or other nominee, you must provide your broker or nominee with instructions on how to vote your shares for the election of directors, approval of the ESPP and the advisory vote on executive compensation in order for your shares to be counted for such votes. Under rules applicable to discretionary voting by brokers, brokers do not have the discretion to vote client shares on the election of directors, approval of the ESPP and on the advisory vote on executive compensation if the stockholder has not specifically instructed the broker how to vote. Consequently, brokers may vote only on the election of directors, the approval of the ESPP and the advisory vote on executive compensation, as specifically instructed by their clients. If a stockholder fails to provide voting instructions to the broker on a matter that the broker does not have discretion to vote, this is referred to as a “broker non-vote.” Broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of the election of directors, approval of the ESPP or the advisory vote on executive compensation. Brokers and other nominee holders may use their discretion to vote on the proposal to ratify the appointment of our independent registered public accounting firm if no instructions are provided.

Q:	What is the effect if I withhold or abstain my vote?
A:	Withheld votes will have no effect on the outcome of the election of directors. An abstention will have the effect of a "no" vote with respect to the approval of the ESPP, the ratification of the appointment of our independent registered public accounting firm and the advisory vote on executive compensation.

Q:	Do the directors and officers of inTEST have an interest in the outcome of the matters to be voted on?
A:	Our directors and officers will not receive any special benefit as a result of the outcome of the matters to be voted on, except that our officers may participate in the ESPP if it is approved by our stockholders.

Q:	How many shares do the directors and officers of inTEST beneficially own, and how do they plan to vote their shares?
A:	Directors and executive officers, who, as of April 27, 2021, had beneficial ownership (or had the right to acquire beneficial ownership within sixty days following April 27, 2021) of approximately 5.1% of our outstanding common stock, are expected to vote, or direct the voting of their shares, in favor of the election of the five nominees for director set forth in this proxy statement, in favor of the approval of the ESPP, the ratification of the appointment of RSM US LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2021 and in favor of the advisory vote on the compensation of our named executive officers.

Q:	Who will count the votes?
A:	Our transfer agent will count the votes cast by proxy. The Assistant Secretary of inTEST will count the votes cast in person at the meeting and will serve as the Inspector of Election.

Q:	Can I ask a question during the Annual Meeting?
A:	If you are attending the Annual Meeting as a stockholder of record or registered beneficial owner, questions can be submitted by accessing the Meeting Center at www.meetingcenter.io/225500963, entering your control number and the meeting password, INTT2021, and clicking on the Dialog icon in the upper right hand corner of the page.

Q:	Are there any expenses associated with collecting the stockholder votes?
A:	We will reimburse brokerage firms and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses for forwarding proxy and other materials to our stockholders. We do not anticipate hiring an agency to solicit votes from stockholders at this time; however, if we determine that such action would be appropriate or necessary, we would pay the cost of such service. Officers and other employees of inTEST may solicit proxies but will receive no special compensation for doing so.

VOTING SECURITIES AND PRINCIPAL STOCKHOLDERS

The following table sets forth certain information known to us regarding the beneficial ownership of our common stock as of April 27, 2021 (except where otherwise noted) by:

	●	each of our named executive officers (as that term is defined later in this proxy statement under the heading "Executive Compensation");
	●	each of our current directors;
	●	all directors and executive officers as a group; and
	●	each stockholder known by inTEST to own beneficially more than 5% of our common stock.

Percentage ownership in the following table is based on 10,710,331 shares of common stock outstanding as of April 27, 2021.

We have determined beneficial ownership in the table in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). In computing the number of shares beneficially owned by any person or group or persons and the percentage ownership of that person or group, shares of common stock subject to options held by such person or group or persons that are currently exercisable, or will become exercisable by June 25, 2021, are deemed to be beneficially owned by such person and outstanding for the calculation of such person's percentage ownership and for the percentage beneficially owned by all directors and executive officers as a group. However, we have not deemed these shares to be outstanding for computing the percentage ownership of any other person. To our knowledge, except as set forth in the footnotes following the table, each stockholder identified in the table possesses sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of common stock shown as beneficially owned by such stockholder. Except as set forth in the footnotes following the table, the address of the beneficial owners is c/o inTEST Corporation, 804 East Gate Drive, Suite 200 Mt. Laurel, New Jersey 08054.

PROPOSAL 1: ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Our bylaws provide that our Board shall consist of not less than five directors, as determined by the Board from time to time, and that each director shall hold office until the next Annual Meeting of Stockholders and until a successor shall be duly elected and qualified, or until his earlier resignation, retirement or removal. The Board currently consists of five directors.

Listed below are the five nominees for director.

Director Independence

Our Board has determined that each of the current directors and those who served as such in 2020 meets the independence requirements of the NYSE American Listing Rules (the "NYSE American Rules"), with the exception of Mr. Grant, our current President and Chief Executive Officer, and Mr. Pelrin, our former President and Chief Executive Officer and former director. In making the foregoing determination, the Board did not identify any matters, transactions, relationships or arrangements that needed to be considered in determining independence of such persons.

Board Leadership Structure

As stated in the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines, which can be found on the Company’s website at www.intest.com, the Board believes that it is in the best interests of the Company for the Board to make a determination regarding whether or not to separate the roles of Chairperson of the Board and President and Chief Executive Officer based upon the circumstances. As of the date of this proxy statement, the offices of Chairperson and President and Chief Executive Officer are held by two separate individuals. Joseph W. Dews IV, an independent director, serves as the Chairperson of the Board, and Richard N. Grant, Jr. serves as the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. The Board believes the separation of the roles is the most appropriate structure at this time as it allows the Company’s Chairperson to lead the Board’s responsibilities for reviewing, approving and monitoring fundamental financial and business strategies allowing the President and Chief Executive Officer to focus primarily on establishing and implementing the Company’s strategic plan and on day-to-day operations.

Risk Oversight

Management is responsible for the day-to-day management of risks that we face, while the Board, as a whole and through its Committees, has responsibility for the oversight of risk management. Management attends regular meetings of the Board and Committees and discusses with the Board or appropriate Committees the various risks confronting inTEST, including the operational, legal, market and competitive risks that we face. In addition, the Audit Committee regularly considers major financial risk exposures and the steps management has taken to monitor and control such risks. The Audit Committee also provides oversight of the Risk and Information Security Committee, which is composed of the Chairperson of the Audit Committee and senior members of management and which, among other responsibilities, monitors and reviews (i) the Company’s information technology (“IT”) internal controls to protect the Company’s information and proprietary assets, (ii) the Company’s IT risk tolerances, and (iii) compliance with international, federal, state, and local information security requirements. The Compensation Committee provides oversight of risks related to our compensation policies and practices. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee oversees risks associated with our corporate governance practices and the independence of directors.

Transactions with Related Persons

We have not entered into any transactions with a related person since January 1, 2019, nor are we otherwise a participant in a current transaction, and no transaction is currently proposed, in which the amount of the transaction exceeds the lesser of $120,000 or 1% of the average of the Company’s total assets at year end for the last two completed fiscal years and in which a related person had or will have a direct or indirect material interest. For purposes of this paragraph, a related person includes any executive officer, director or nominee for director, any greater than 5% beneficial owner of our common stock, and any immediate family or household member of any of the foregoing.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Committees of the Board

Currently, our Board has three standing Committees: Audit, Compensation and Nominating and Corporate Governance. Copies of the charters of each of the current committees are posted on our website: www.intest.com.

The Audit Committee is appointed by the Board to assist the Board in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities with respect to the Company’s financial management and controls. The Audit Committee's primary oversight responsibilities relate to the integrity of our accounting and financial reporting processes, audits of our financial statements, and systems of internal control over financial reporting and accounting matters, and the independence, qualifications, retention, and performance of our independent registered public accounting firm. During 2020, the members of the Audit Committee until June 24, 2020 were William Kraut (Chairperson), Steven J. Abrams and Jeffrey A. Beck. Following his election to the Board on June 24, 2020, Gerald J. Maginnis joined the Audit Committee and became its Chairperson, replacing Mr. Kraut who did not stand for reelection at the 2020 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The Board has determined that both Messrs. Maginnis and Beck meet the criteria of an "audit committee financial expert" as that term is defined in Item 401 of Regulation S-K. The Board has also determined that each of the members of the Audit Committee who served as such during 2020, including each of the current members of the Audit Committee, is independent within the meaning of the NYSE American Rules. The Audit Committee held nine meetings during 2020.

The Compensation Committee is appointed by the Board to review, evaluate, and approve the compensation and benefit programs of our executive officers, to administer our equity based compensation plans, to review and recommend to the Board changes to our director compensation and to review the annual disclosures regarding the compensation of the Company’s executive officers to be included in inTEST’s annual proxy statement and Annual Report on Form 10-K. During 2020, the members of the Compensation Committee were Joseph W. Dews IV (Chairperson), Steven J. Abrams and Jeffrey A. Beck. The Board has determined that each of the members of the Compensation Committee is independent within the meaning of the NYSE American Rules, including the stricter requirements of Section 803 of the NYSE American Company Guide, which are not applicable to smaller reporting companies, but which we have adopted as the standard of independence for this Committee. The Compensation Committee held four meetings during 2020.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is appointed by the Board to select the director nominees to be presented for election at future annual meetings of stockholders, to review and assess our corporate governance procedures and to oversee annual evaluations of the Board and director self-assessments. During 2020, the members of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee until June 24, 2020 were Steven J. Abrams (Chairperson), William Kraut, and Joseph W. Dews IV. Following his election to the Board on June 24, 2020, Gerald J. Maginnis replaced Mr. Kraut as a member of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. The Board has determined that each of the members of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is independent within the meaning of the NYSE American Rules. See "Nominating Procedures" for information regarding the process for identifying and evaluating nominees, procedures for stockholder nominations and director qualifications. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee held one meeting during 2020.

Board Meetings

During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Board held a total of ten meetings. Each of our directors attended at least 75% of the aggregate number of meetings of the Board and meetings of any committee of which he was a member, which were held during the time in which he was a director or a committee member, as applicable.

All members of the Board are encouraged, but not required, to attend our annual meeting of stockholders, and may do so in person or by phone. All of our directors attended the 2020 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, which was held virtually on June 24, 2020.

Director Stock Ownership Guidelines

On January 14, 2019, the Board approved stock ownership guidelines for non-employee directors (the “Director Ownership Guidelines”). The ownership target under the Director Ownership Guidelines for each non-employee director is five times the annual cash retainer for non-employee directors. Non-employee directors have five years to achieve the ownership target from the later of the date on which the Director Ownership Guidelines were approved or a director joined the Board. Sales of the Company’s stock by non-employee directors are allowed only after each director reaches his ownership target. Such sales of the Company’s stock are allowed, however, prior to the achievement of the ownership target for the purpose of covering taxes due on vesting restricted stock awards and pursuant to any existing trading plans. Each of our non-employee directors as of December 31, 2020 was in compliance with the Director Ownership Guidelines, except for Mr. Beck and Mr. Maginnis, who are within the five-year phase-in period.

Prohibition of Employee, Officer and Director Hedging

The Board believes it is improper and inappropriate for any director, officer or other employee to engage in short-term or speculative transactions involving inTEST’s securities. As such, inTEST’s insider trading policy prohibits directors and employees, including executive officers, from engaging in any hedging or monetization transactions involving inTEST’s securities, purchases on margin or pledging of securities, short sales, buying or selling put or call options and (i) selling equity securities of the Company sooner than six months after last acquiring such equity securities or (ii) buying equity securities of the Company sooner than six months after last selling such equity securities.

Stockholder Communications with the Board

Stockholders who wish to communicate directly with the Board, or with a particular director, may send a letter addressed to our Secretary at 804 East Gate Drive, Suite 200, Mt. Laurel, NJ 08054. The mailing envelope must contain a clear notation indicating that the enclosed letter is a "Stockholder Board Communication" or "Stockholder Director Communication." All such letters must identify the author as a stockholder and clearly state whether the intended recipients are all members of the Board or just certain specified individual directors. The Secretary will make copies of all such letters and circulate them to the directors addressed. If a stockholder wishes the communication to be confidential, such stockholder must clearly indicate on the envelope that the communication is "confidential." The Secretary will then forward such communication, unopened, to the directors, or director, specified on the envelope, or if none, to the Chairperson of the Board.

Compensation Procedures

During 2020, the Compensation Committee was comprised, and presently is comprised, solely of independent directors. The Compensation Committee has the authority to delegate any or all of its powers and authority to one or more subcommittees, each subcommittee to consist of one or more members of the Compensation Committee. No such delegation of authority to a subcommittee has occurred. All decisions regarding the compensation of our executive officers are approved by the Compensation Committee.

As a general matter, changes to director compensation are periodically considered by the Compensation Committee and recommended to the Board for approval. Any change in the compensation of any director or any group of directors is approved by a majority of non-interested directors, and, if such recommendation applies to the compensation of all directors, by a majority of the independent directors in addition to a majority of the directors then in office.

In 2019, the Compensation Committee retained Radford, a unit of Aon plc, as its independent compensation consultant to advise it regarding current best practices for executive and director compensation arrangements and to review and make recommendations regarding the amount, type and structure of compensation to be paid to the Company's executive officers and directors in 2020. At the direction of the Compensation Committee, Radford compared the levels of compensation of the executive officers and directors to market based data available in the Radford Global Technology Survey for similarly-sized companies and provided the Compensation Committee with peer group data regarding compensation arrangements, plans, and amounts.

The Compensation Committee determined that Radford does not provide any material services to management or the Company, and that Radford does not have any business or personal relationship with any member of the Compensation Committee or management or otherwise have any conflict of interest in performing its services for the Compensation Committee.

Nominating Procedures

Generally, in order to identify and evaluate director nominees, our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee (which is comprised solely of independent directors) assesses the qualifications, expertise, performance and willingness to serve of each current director or candidate. If as a result of such assessment, or at any other time during the year, the Board determines a need to add a new director with specific qualifications or to fill a vacancy on the Board, a search will be initiated utilizing appropriate staff support, input from other directors, senior management, and outside contacts, consideration of nominees previously submitted by stockholders, and, if deemed necessary or appropriate, retention of a search firm. An initial slate of candidates satisfying the specific qualifications, if any, and otherwise qualifying for membership on the Board, will be identified and reviewed by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and the Board. The candidates will be prioritized and a determination made as to whether a member of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, another director or member of senior management has a relationship with the preferred candidate and can initiate contacts. If not, contact may be initiated by the Company or the search firm. The Chairperson and one or more members of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee or the Board will interview any prospective candidates. Evaluations and recommendations of the interviewers will be shared with all members of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee for final evaluation. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will then meet to determine which candidate (or candidates) to select. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will evaluate all nominees for director, including nominees recommended by a stockholder, on the same basis.

Each of the incumbent nominees for director included in this proxy statement was recommended for re-election by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. The full Board, including the President and Chief Executive Officer, unanimously approved all of the nominees for election by the stockholders of the Company, as recommended by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.

Stockholder recommendations with regard to director candidates may be submitted in writing to the Secretary of inTEST for consideration by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. Each such recommendation should include the following information: (i) the name, age, business address and, if known, residence address of each nominee, (ii) the principal occupation or employment of each such nominee, (iii) the number of shares of common stock of inTEST which are beneficially owned by each such nominee, (iv) the qualifications of such nominee for service on the Board, (v) the name and residence address of the proposing stockholder(s), (vi) the number of shares of common stock owned by the proposing stockholder(s), and (vii) such other information as the stockholder making such recommendation believes would be relevant to the consideration of such candidate.

Director candidates must meet certain minimum qualifications, including being at least 21 years old and possessing (1) the ability to read and understand corporate financial statements, (2) relevant business experience and professional skills, (3) high moral character and personal and professional integrity, and (4) the willingness to commit sufficient time to attend to his or her duties and responsibilities as a director of a public corporation. In addition, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may consider a variety of other qualities and skills, including (i) expertise in finance, economics, technology or markets related to the business in which inTEST and its subsidiaries may engage, (ii) the ability to exercise independent decision-making, (iii) the absence of conflicts of interest, (iv) diversity of experience, and (v) the ability to work effectively with other directors in collectively serving the long-term interests of all stockholders. Nominees must also meet any applicable requirements of SEC regulations, state law, and inTEST's charter and bylaws. When assessing a candidate, consideration will be given to the effect such candidate will have on the diversity of the Board. Diversity of the Board is evaluated by considering a broad range of attributes, such as background, both geographic and demographic (including, without limitation race, gender and national origin), expertise and experience.

Stockholders who wish to make nominations to be considered at the 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders may do so by following the procedures set forth in our bylaws. See "Information Regarding Deadlines and Procedures for Submission of Stockholder Proposals and Nominations of Directors" for additional information regarding the deadlines and notice procedures.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Executive Summary

Since 2016, the Compensation Committee has retained an independent compensation consultant, Radford, to review our executive compensation structure and recommend changes to the structure and manner of compensating our executive officers. In March 2020, as a result of the Compensation Committee's analysis of the information provided by, and the recommendations of Radford, the Compensation Committee adopted a compensation program for 2020 for our executive officers that aligned executive officer compensation with competitive market practices and specific objectives of the Company in addition to aligning our executive officers' long-term interests with those of our stockholders by targeting pay for performance. In March 2020, based on the recommendations of Radford and discussions with management, the Compensation Committee approved an executive compensation program based on the following for 2020:

	●	Compensation levels were benchmarked to market survey data based on a group of public capital equipment, semiconductor, network equipment, computer and communications companies with a median headcount of 304, median revenues of $60 million and a median market capitalization of $233 million;
	●	All elements of compensation - salary, bonus, total cash, long-term incentives and total direct compensation - were compared to the market;
	●	An annual incentive plan was applied with competitive targets; and
	●	Long-term incentive guidelines were adopted for the executive officers.

As further described in “Impact of COVID-19 and CEO Transition,” the Company was significantly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. The Compensation Committee was updated throughout 2020 on the negative impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business operations and the resulting impact on executive management’s ability to achieve both the financial performance and strategic performance goals originally set in March 2020 based on the factors outlined above. As a result, the short-term incentive compensation component of the executive compensation program was revised for our Chief Financial Officer as described below. In addition, in August 2020, our former CEO, Mr. Pelrin, resigned and the Company appointed a new CEO. As a result of his resignation, Mr. Pelrin did not receive any short-term incentive compensation and all of his unvested equity awards were forfeited upon his resignation. For a description of Mr. Pelrin’s separation terms, please see “Separation Agreement” below. Finally, upon recommendations of Radford and the Compensation Committee, the Board approved compensation to Mr. Grant as our new CEO as described below.

Overview of the Executive Compensation Program

The executive compensation program is designed to reflect the performance of the Company and align the executive officers' interests with those of our stockholders. To achieve these ends, the executive compensation program consists of three components: base salary, performance-based short-term incentives, and long-term incentives, as more fully described below. While there is no fixed formula, the Compensation Committee seeks an appropriate balance between cash and non-cash compensation, short and long term incentives, at-risk compensation and a mix of various forms of equity compensation. In addition, consistent with market practices, the Compensation Committee believes that executive officers who have greater and more direct impact and ability to influence the Company's overall performance should receive a significant proportion of equity-based compensation relative to their total compensation, thus seeking to align the executive officers' incentives and impact with the value they bring to Company-wide performance.

The components of our 2020 Executive Compensation Plan were as follows:

Base Salary	Individual base salaries were within competitive, targeted ranges and therefore not increased in 2020. Base salaries, which are established at hire, are reviewed and adjusted periodically by the Compensation Committee based on a variety of factors which may include competitiveness, individual performance, tenure, overall Company performance, internal positioning and other factors.

Short-Term Incentives	Annual incentive percentages of base salary, Company and business unit performance targets, and strategic performance criteria are established for short-term incentive compensation. Cash incentives are intended to reward the achievement of annual Company financial goals as well as individual accomplishments and contributions. For 2020, Company goals were based on net revenue and earnings before income tax targets and attainment of certain strategic objectives of the Company.

Long-Term Incentives	Equity-based compensation serves to link the interests of the executives and our stockholders and focuses the executives on the long-term appreciation of the Company's stock. For 2020, equity-based compensation was awarded in the form of restricted stock and stock options.

Philosophy

The Compensation Committee is committed to the general principle that executive compensation should be commensurate with the Company's performance and the performance of the individual executive officer. The primary objectives of our executive compensation program are to:

	●	attract and retain executive officers who demonstrate the leadership and management skills necessary to drive our long-term success;
	●	reward the achievement of our business goals and individual contributions toward achievement of those goals; and
	●	provide compensation opportunities linked to the Company's performance and the interests of our stockholders.

Our pay philosophy is for the total cash compensation (base salary plus short-term incentive compensation) of our named executive officers to be targeted to the market median for similarly situated companies, with long-term (equity-based) incentive compensation to increase at a reasonable rate on an annual basis until it reaches the market median for similarly situated companies.

Underlying our executive compensation program is the philosophy that the interests of our stockholders are best served by a program that includes a significant variable component based on our performance. As a result, our executives have a significant portion of their compensation "at risk," either through the variability of the short-term incentive portion of the plan, or subject to the movement in the price of the Company's stock or the Company’s performance through the long-term incentive portion of the plan. Amounts paid under the plan are further subject to repayment or "claw back" as needed to comply with all applicable laws and regulations.

Accordingly, and as more fully described below, the Compensation Committee approved the following compensation arrangements for our executive officers for 2020, who we refer to as our “named executive officers” (“2020 Executive Compensation Plan”).

2020 Base Salary and Long-Term Incentive Compensation

The following is a summary of the short-term incentive portion of our 2020 Executive Compensation Plan that the Compensation Committee adopted for Mr. Pelrin (our former CEO) and Mr. Regan (our CFO) prior to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic and the CEO transition. Mr. Grant’s short-term compensation is described in “Impact of COVID-19 and CEO Transition” below. Mr. Pelrin did not receive any short-term incentive compensation for 2020, as described below.

	●	Target incentive opportunity of 70% of base salary for the CEO and 55% of base salary for the CFO.
	●	Performance bonus payment based upon satisfaction of the following weighted performance metrics: 70% on the achievement of net revenue and earnings before income tax expense targets in a performance matrix (financial performance), 15% on completion of an acquisition in 2020 (strategic performance), and 15% on the achievement of 12 business unit and corporate strategic initiatives outlined in 2020-2023 Strategic Plan Update (strategic performance).
	●	Minimum financial performance thresholds beginning at 80% for both the net revenue target and earnings before income tax expense targets.
	●	At minimum financial performance, a named executive officer would earn 0% of his target incentive opportunity for financial performance if none of the performance metrics are satisfied.

	●	At maximum financial performance, a named executive officer could earn 100% of his target incentive opportunity for financial performance.
	●	The strategic performance goals were: (1) the consummation of an acquisition of a company or assets of a company in 2020 that generated minimum trailing twelve months revenues of $5,000,000; and (2) the achievement of 12 business unit and corporate strategic initiatives outlined in the 2020-2023 Strategic Plan Update.
	●	Each of the named executive officers shared the same financial and strategic performance goals.

The following matrix shows the payout opportunity for the financial performance portion of the short-term incentive program.

For 2020, the net revenue target was $64.6 million and the actual net revenues were $53.8 million. The earnings before income tax expense target was $3.4 million, the actual loss before income tax expense was $(1.2) million and the actual adjusted earnings before income tax expense was $140,000.

In the case of adjusted actual earnings before income tax expense, we adjusted our 2020 actual earnings before income tax expense to eliminate the impact of our CEO transition costs, lease impairment charges, costs related to the updating of our shelf registration on Form S-3 and move and restructuring costs related to the consolidation of our EMS manufacturing operations so that our Compensation Committee could compare the 2020 target earnings before income tax expense with the 2020 actual earnings before income tax expense computed on a consistent basis. The adjustments to our 2020 actual earnings before income tax expense were done in compliance with the 2020 Executive Compensation Plan, which required us to exclude the impact of any expenses that are treated for accounting purposes as restructuring items or transaction-related expenses. These expense exclusions were developed by our Compensation Committee to eliminate the impact of non-recurring or transaction-related items, which typically are not projected and therefore not included in the earnings before income tax expense target.

Adjusted actual earnings before income tax expense is a non-GAAP financial measure presented to provide investors with meaningful supplemental information in order to provide them with an understanding of the basis for the computation of the bonus amounts determined for the financial performance goal of the short-term incentive program.

The adjusted actual earnings before income tax expense is provided as a complement to actual net earnings before income tax expense provided in accordance with GAAP and is used by the Compensation Committee to make compensation decisions with respect to the short-term incentive program. A summary of the results of the financial performance goals and a reconciliation of adjusted actual earnings before income tax expense to actual earnings (loss) before income tax expense, which is the most directly comparable GAAP measure, is contained in the table below.

Impact of COVID-19 and CEO Transition

As COVID-19 began to spread across the United States and globally in March 2020, the business environment began to change dramatically. The ensuing and unprecedented global pandemic prompted state and local health agencies to order widespread closures of non-essential businesses and issue stay at home orders to mitigate the spread of the virus. During this time, we focused on three top priorities: (i) first and foremost, ensuring the safety and well-being of our employees and their families, (ii) maintaining business operations with all applicable safety practices to protect our employees while supporting the critical needs of our customers, and (iii) identifying and enacting expense reductions to adjust our cost structure to address market conditions. In addition on April 10, 2020, we closed on a $7.5 million working capital line of credit to provide the Company with additional working capital financing capability in response to the business environment, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Despite our efforts to mitigate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, our 2020 net revenues were significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic during the first half of 2020, which reduced our expected profitability. The impact of COVID-19 on our net revenues from the Semi Market was intensified during the first half of the year because our business operations were also being negatively affected by a global downturn in the semiconductor market at that time. Our 2020 operating results were further negatively impacted by a number of non-recurring expense items such as the CEO transition, lease impairments and the consolidation of our EMS manufacturing operations. These factors caused our actual net revenues and earnings before income tax expense to fall below our targets for those goals, and therefore, we did not achieve our financial performance targets in 2020, which were weighted at 70%.

We suspended our acquisition-related activities in early 2020 in response to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business and the global economy, and we did not restart those activities until late 2020 when we saw the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business began to lessen. As a result of the suspension of our acquisition-related activities for most of 2020, we did not achieve the completion of an acquisition performance goal during the year, which was weighted at 15%.

The 2020 revenue shortfall caused by the COVID-19 pandemic also negatively impacted our ability to achieve the strategic performance goal. While we were successful in achieving 8 of the 12 business unit and corporate strategic initiatives, our 2020 Executive Compensation Plan required a minimum achievement of at least 9 of these strategic initiatives to earn any payout. The strategic performance goal was weighted at 15%.

The Compensation Committee was updated throughout 2020 on the negative impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business operations and the resulting impact on executive management’s ability to achieve both the financial performance and strategic performance goals. In light of the unprecedented and challenging operating environment, the Compensation Committee exercised its discretion to revise the performance goals and target bonus opportunity for the 2020 short-term incentive compensation for Mr. Regan. The revised performance goals were the preservation of cash during the COVID-19 pandemic, the preservation of liquidity during the pandemic, and assistance provided during the CEO transition. Mr. Regan’s revised target bonus opportunity was 25% of his base salary. The Compensation Committee determined that Mr. Regan achieved all three of the revised performance goals in 2020.

In connection with Mr. Grant’s appointment as our President and CEO in August 2020 and as an inducement for employment, the Compensation Committee approved a minimum cash bonus for 2020 equal to 55% of his salary ($206,250). Mr. Grant was also eligible to earn 15% of his base salary ($56,250) based on the achievement of three performance goals established by the Compensation Committee. The performance goals were (i) the successful presentation to the Board of a concise and detailed plan to reduce the Company’s footprint by one facility (the “Consolidation”); (ii) the execution of agreements associated with the Consolidation; and (iii) the successful implementation of the Consolidation. The Compensation Committee determined that Mr. Grant achieved these performance goals in 2020.

As a result of the above, for 2020, Mr. Grant received $262,500 and Mr. Regan received $36,428. Mr. Pelrin did not receive any short-term incentive compensation for 2020.

Description of Long-Term Incentive Portion of the 2020 Executive Compensation Plan

As part of Radford’s scope of work, the Compensation Committee sought the consultant’s advice and recommendations on the use of equity-based compensation for the executive officers. With such input from Radford, with respect to Mr. Regan and Mr. Pelrin, the Compensation Committee determined that:

	●	A regular program of long-term incentive awards would increase the linkage between the pay of the executive officers and the performance delivered to our stockholders;
	●	Stock options would be effective as a tool to reward the executive officers for focusing on growing the value of the Company over the long term; and
	●	Shares of restricted stock would be effective as a tool to provide both retention and increase the immediate connection between the executives and the stockholders.

Accordingly, the Compensation Committee continued to compensate its named executive officers through the grant of stock options and shares of restricted stock as set forth above in the 2020 Base Salary and Long-Term Incentive Compensation table. All of Mr. Pelrin’s outstanding equity awards vesting after August 6, 2020 were forfeited in connection with his resignation.

With respect to Mr. Grant, the Compensation Committee sought Radford’s advice and recommendations on the use of the appropriate equity-based compensation for a new President and CEO. With such input from Radford, the Compensation Committee determined to grant Mr. Grant an equity award in connection with his start date on August 24, 2020 equal to $650,000 divided by the closing price of the Company’s common stock on such date. Approximately 47%, or 66,448 shares of restricted stock ($305,000), is subject to time-based vesting over four years at the rate of 25% on each anniversary of the grant date, and approximately 53%, or 75,162 shares ($345,000) are Performance-Based Shares. The Performance-Based Shares may vest on the third anniversary of the grant date at a vesting percentage to be determined by the Compensation Committee based on the Company’s achievements with respect to: (i) net revenue compounded annual growth rate (“CAGR”) from the twelve-month period ending June 30, 2020 to the twelve-month period ended June 30, 2023; and (ii) diluted earnings per share excluding amortization of intangible assets (“Adjusted EPS”), for the twelve-month period ending June 30, 2023. The vesting percentage, if any, will be determined by locating on the matrix below the intersection of (x) the column that indicates the CAGR achieved and (y) the row indicating the Adjusted EPS achieved, with a maximum vesting percentage of 150% (i.e., the maximum number of shares of 112,743 shares).

Vesting Percentage Matrix
			CAGR from the 12-month period ended June 30, 2020 to the 12-month period ending June 30, 2023

	$1.14 or more			0	%		100	%		113	%		125	%		138	%		150	%

For purposes of the Compensation Committee’s determination of the appropriate level of vesting, the Compensation Committee retains the discretion to include or exclude the impact of merger and acquisition activity of the Company from the calculation of the Company’s CAGR based on the facts and circumstances of any individual transaction. The restricted stock granted to Mr. Grant is subject to certain conditions, including, but not limited to, the continued employment with the Company on the vesting date.

Management Stock Ownership Guidelines

On November 4, 2020, the Board approved stock ownership guidelines for named executive officers and certain other members of the Company’s management team (the “Management Ownership Guidelines”). The ownership target under the Management Ownership Guidelines is five times the base salary for the Chief Executive Officer, two times the base salary for the Chief Financial Officer, and 0.5 times the base salary for Vice Presidents and General Managers. Such persons have five years to achieve the ownership target from the later of the date on which the Management Ownership Guidelines were approved or when they were hired or promoted to their position. The Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and Vice Presidents and General Managers (collectively, the “Covered Executives”) must also remain at or above their required ownership level at the close of trading on April 1 of each year as long as they are employed by the Company. Each Covered Executive must retain 50 percent of all net shares (post tax) that vest until the applicable minimum ownership requirement is achieved. If the Covered Executive becomes subject to a higher ownership requirement, the new or higher requirement will apply 30 days after the change and 50 percent of net vested shares should be retained until the new applicable minimum ownership requirement is met.

For purposes of satisfying the minimum ownership requirement, the following will be included:

i.	Any shares of common stock of the Company held by the Covered Executive owned, either individually or jointly with such person’s spouse and/or children, including any vested shares of restricted stock;
ii.	Stock held in trust for the economic benefit of the Covered Executive or the spouse or minor children of such individual; and
iii.	Any unvested shares of time-based restricted stock.

Unvested shares of performance-based restricted stock, and unexercised options (whether vested or unvested) will not be included in the determination of ownership calculations for purposes of meeting the minimum ownership requirement.

As of December 31, 2020, Mr. Regan met the applicable minimum ownership requirement. Mr. Grant did not meet the applicable minimum ownership requirement as he joined the Company in August 2020 and is within the five-year phase-in period.

Employment Agreements. Except for our current Chief Executive Officer, none of our named executive officers have employment agreements.

In connection with his appointment as our Chief Executive Officer and President, we have entered into a letter agreement with Mr. Grant, dated July 24, 2020, which provides that Mr. Grant’s employment will be on an at-will basis and that he will be entitled to an annual base salary (“Base Salary”) of $375,000 per year, subject to periodic review by the Compensation Committee. During Mr. Grant’s employment, he is eligible to participate in the Company’s annual bonus award plan. For 2020, Mr. Grant’s target bonus opportunity was 70% of the Base Salary which includes a minimum cash bonus equal to 55% of his non-prorated Base Salary. Mr. Grant was, at the discretion of the Compensation Committee, eligible to earn the remaining 15% of his non-prorated Base Salary upon the satisfaction of certain performance goals by December 31, 2020. For fiscal years 2021 and thereafter, Mr. Grant’s goals for his annual bonus award will be set forth in the Company’s executive officer compensation plan for such fiscal year and his award thereunder.

Under the terms of the letter agreement, Mr. Grant also received an initial equity award in connection with his start date on August 24, 2020 equal to (a) $650,000 (based on target performance) divided by (b) the closing price of the Company’s common stock on such date. Of that amount, $305,000 is subject to time-based vesting (the “Time-Vesting Portion”), and $345,000 is subject to performance based vesting (the “Performance-Vesting Portion”). The Time-Vesting Portion vests over four years at the rate of 25% on each anniversary of the grant date. The Performance-Vesting Portion may vest on the third anniversary of the grant date at a vesting percentage to be determined by the Compensation Committee, based on the achievement of performance criteria. Mr. Grant is also be eligible to participate in the employee benefit plans and programs (excluding severance) generally available to the Company’s senior executives and consistent with such plans and programs of the Company, including but not limited to medical, life and disability insurance, retirement, vacation/paid time off, fringe benefit, perquisite, business expense reimbursement and travel plans or programs, in accordance with and subject to eligibility and other terms and conditions of such plans and programs, as in effect from time to time. As a condition of accepting his offer of employment, Mr. Grant also executed a Confidentiality, Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation Agreement, which includes standard restrictive covenants, assignment of inventions, confidentiality and non-disparagement, and non-competition and non-solicitation of employees, customers and suppliers provisions.

Separation Agreement. In connection with his resignation as our Chief Executive Officer and President and a director on August 6, 2020, we entered into a separation agreement (the “Separation Agreement”), with Mr. Pelrin dated August 6, 2020 pursuant to which Mr. Pelrin agreed to provide consulting services to us for three months, subject to an extension of up to an additional three months at the option of the Company, which option the Company did not exercise. The Separation Agreement entitled Mr. Pelrin to a severance benefit of $100,000. The Separation Agreement provided that, in consideration for the consulting services that Mr. Pelrin performed for the Company, we pay Mr. Pelrin a consulting fee of $500 per hour, with a guaranteed minimum of $10,000 per month during the initial three-month consulting period, and a guaranteed minimum of $5,000 per month during any optional period. In addition, under the Separation Agreement, the Company pays the cost to continue Mr. Pelrin’s participation in our standard health care benefits programs under COBRA for up to twelve months, which was estimated to cost $47,600.

Retirement Benefits. Our named executive officers are provided retirement benefits under the tax-qualified 401(k) plan provided to our other domestic employees. Our named executive officers are subject to provisions that allow participants to make contributions from their own salary on a pre-tax basis and provide a discretionary employer matching contribution not to exceed $4,750 a year. If eligible, the amount of employer contributions made to our 401(k) plans for our named executive officers for 2020 and 2019 are included in the column entitled “All Other Compensation” in the Summary Compensation Table above. We do not provide any other retirement benefits to our named executive officers.

Potential Payments upon Termination Following a Change of Control. We have Change of Control Agreements with our executive officers (the “Change of Control Agreements”). The Change of Control Agreements provide for the payment of certain benefits upon the executive officer’s separation from service by us without Cause or by the executive officer for Good Reason within two years following a Change of Control. These benefits consist of the continuation of the executive officer’s base salary and continued coverage under group benefit plans for the one year period following the separation of such executive officer’s service from the Company and payment of the variable performance based compensation that he would have earned for such one year period.

Under the Change of Control Agreements, a “Change of Control” occurs in the event of:

	●	our dissolution or liquidation;
	●	the sale of substantially all of our assets, except to a stockholder who as of the date of the Change of Control Agreements owned 20% or more of our stock (a “Related Person”);
	●	our merger or consolidation with another company unless our stockholders own stock in that company in the same proportion that they own stock in us prior to the transaction;
	●	any person or entity other than a Related Person obtains the voting control of 40% or more of our stock; or
	●	our directors and those persons our directors may nominate to become our directors, cease to comprise a majority of our Board members.

Under the Change of Control Agreements, a termination for “Cause” means the executive’s termination by us because of an act of fraud upon inTEST, a violation of inTEST’s Code of Ethics, willful refusal to perform the duties assigned to him by the Board or conviction for any crime involving dishonesty or breach of trust or for any crime that is a felony or of moral turpitude.

The term “Good Reason” under the Change of Control Agreements means a material adverse change in an executive’s status, responsibilities or benefits; a failure to be nominated or elected to his current officer position; a requirement to report to anyone other than his direct report; an assignment of duties inconsistent with his current officer position; any reduction in base salary, variable component or formula for determining the variable component which would have the effect of reducing his variable component, or other reduction in compensation or benefits; or a requirement to relocate more than thirty miles from his current office.

The benefits payable under the Change of Control Agreements are subject to the release of any claims that the named executive officers may have against us pursuant to the agreements as we may request. Benefits will be reduced or eliminated to the extent that comparable benefits are received from another source. Furthermore, the benefits will be reduced to the extent that the payments would not be deductible by us (in whole or in part) under Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code.

Also in the event of a Change of Control, all equity awards issued to our executive officers become 100% vested.

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

In 2020, non-employee directors received an annual retainer of $25,000, the Chairperson of the Board received an additional annual retainer of $40,000. The Chairperson of each of the Committees of the Board were paid an additional annual fee as follows: the Chairperson of the Audit Committee received an additional annual fee of $20,000 and the Chairpersons of the Compensation Committee and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee each received an additional annual fee of $10,000, respectively. The members of the Committees, other than the Chairpersons, receive additional annual fees of: $10,000 for members of the Audit Committee and $5,000 for members of each of the Compensation Committee and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, respectively. Also, in March 2020, based upon the evaluation and recommendation of Radford, the Compensation Committee recommended, and the Board approved, the award of 9,000 shares of restricted stock to each of the non-employee directors to further align their interests with those of our stockholders. Such shares vested 25% on each of the following dates: March 31, 2020, June 30, 2020, September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2020 subject to certain conditions, including, but not limited to, the continued service to inTEST of the respective non-employee director through each such vesting date.

On July 29, 2020, the Compensation Committee recommended, and the Board approved, two restricted stock awards to the then newly elected director, Gerald J. Maginnis: (1) 4,500 shares of restricted stock to vest 50% on each of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2020; and (2) a one-time new director award of 9,000 shares of restricted stock to vest 25% annually beginning on July 31, 2021. The restricted stock granted to Mr. Maginnis is subject to certain conditions, including, but not limited to, the continued service to inTEST through each vesting date.

In addition, the Company reimburses non-employee directors’ travel expenses and other costs associated with attending Board or committee meetings. The Company does not pay additional compensation to any executive officer for service as a director.

The following table sets forth the compensation earned by, or paid to, the members of our Board, who are not executive officers, for the year ended December 31, 2020:

PROPOSAL 2: APPROVAL OF THE inTEST CORPORATION EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN

The inTEST Corporation Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”) was adopted by the Board in April 2021 subject to approval by the Company’s stockholders. The ESPP provides employees of the Company and employees of certain of the Company’s subsidiaries, namely inTEST EMS LLC, Temptronic Corporation, Ambrell Corporation, inTEST Pte. Ltd., inTEST Thermal GmbH, Ambrell BV, Ambrell Ltd. and any such affiliates as may be designated by the Compensation Committee from time to time (“Participating Affiliates”) with an opportunity to purchase common stock through accumulated payroll deductions at a discounted purchase price. If approved by stockholders, the ESPP will become effective on October 1, 2021. The Company seeks stockholder approval of the ESPP in order to qualify the ESPP and the right of participants to purchase shares under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). In addition, the ESPP authorizes the purchase of shares under a non-Section 423 qualified component of the ESPP by employees of international affiliates in situations where a qualified plan creates adverse tax consequences in a particular jurisdiction.

The ESPP provides that an aggregate of up to 250,000 shares of our common stock will be available for issuance under the ESPP. The shares of our common stock purchasable under the ESPP will be shares of authorized but unissued or reacquired shares, including shares repurchased by us on the open market. If any option to purchase shares granted pursuant to the ESPP for any reason terminates without having been exercised, the shares not purchased under such purchase right again become available for issuance under the ESPP.

A copy of the ESPP is attached to this proxy statement as Appendix A. The following description of the ESPP is only a summary and is qualified by reference to the complete text of the ESPP.

Administration

The ESPP will be administered by the Board’s Compensation Committee or one or more subcommittees appointed by the Compensation Committee to administer the ESPP.

Eligibility

Generally, any person who is employed by the Company or a Participating Affiliate is eligible to participate in the ESPP , provided that the employee: (i) has at least six (6) months of service with the Company or a Participating Affiliate on the first day of the offering period (as described below), (ii) does not, together with any person whose stock would be attributed with such employee, own stock or hold options to purchase stock possessing five percent (5%) or more of the total combined voting power or value of the Company or any affiliate, (iii) does not reside in a country for whom such participation would result in a violation of any corporate or securities law of such country, (iv) is customarily employed by the Company or Participating Affiliates for more than five months per calendar year, and (v) is customarily employed by the Company or Participating Affiliates for more than twenty (20) hours per week. As of April 27, 2021, approximately 200 employees are eligible to participate.

Participation

Eligible employees may participate in the ESPP by completing a subscription agreement in the form provided by the Company and filing it with the Company prior to the applicable offering period or such other date as specified by the Compensation Committee. Once an eligible employee becomes a participant in an offering period by filing a subscription agreement, he or she shall automatically participate in the offering period commencing immediately following the last day of the prior offering period unless the he or she withdraws from participation in the ESPP or terminates further participation in the offering period.

Plan Characterization

The ESPP is not subject to the provisions of the Employment Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, and is not qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code.

Nonassignability of Options

Neither payroll deductions credited to a participant’s account nor any rights with regard to the exercise of an option or to receive shares under the ESPP may be assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of in any way other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution.

Beneficiary

In the event of the death of a participant, the Company will deliver any shares and/or cash to the executor or administrator of the estate of the participant, or if no such executor or administrator has been appointed to the Company’s knowledge, in its sole discretion, the Company may deliver such shares and/or cash to the spouse or to any one or more dependents or relatives of the participant, or if no spouse, to the participant’s estate.

Offering Periods

Unless and until the Compensation Committee decides otherwise, each offering period will have a duration of three months and shall commence on October 1, January 1, April 1, and July 1, of each year and each offering period shall have only one purchase period which shall run simultaneously with the offering period during which payroll deductions of the participants are accumulated. In no event shall an offering period exceed 27 months in duration or consist of more than eight purchase periods.

Purchase Price

The purchase price per share at which a share shall be sold in any offering period shall be as determined by the Compensation Committee, but no less than 85% of the fair market value of the shares on the purchase date.

Payment of Purchase Price; Payroll Deductions

The purchase price of the shares is paid with payroll deductions accumulated during the applicable offering period. The deductions are made as a percentage of the participant’s compensation in 1% increments, not less than 1%, nor greater than 25%, or such lower limit set by the Compensation Committee. If payroll deductions are not permitted in a jurisdiction, participants in that jurisdiction may contribute via check or pursuant to another method approved by the Compensation Committee. Participants may increase or decrease the rate of their payroll deductions by filing with the Company a new subscription agreement changing their payroll deductions. Any such change must be submitted to the Company prior to the 15 day period (or such shorter period of time as determined by the Company) immediately preceding the next offering period for which the increase or decrease in the rate of payroll deduction is to be effective. Payroll deductions will commence on the first payday following the offering date and will end on the last payday on or prior to the last purchase date of the offering period to which the subscription agreement is applicable, unless sooner terminated by the participant. No interest accrues on the payroll deductions of a participant in the ESPP unless required by local law.

Withdrawal

Participants may cancel all (but not less than all) of their payroll deductions under the ESPP and terminate their participation in an offering period by delivering a written notice to the Company to that effect on a form provided for such purpose. A withdrawal may be elected at any time prior to the end of an offering period, or such other time period as specified by the Compensation Committee.

Further, in the Compensation Committee’s discretion and based on uniform rules and procedures it has established, a participant who withdraws from an offering period may withdraw all (but not less than all) of the payroll deferrals deducted from his or her pay and not yet used to purchase shares at any time by making an election on a form provided for such purpose. In such case, all cash credited to the participant’s account will be paid to the participant as soon as is administratively reasonable, without interest, and his or her interest in the ESPP will terminate.

A participant’s withdrawal from an offering period through a cancellation does not have an effect upon the participant’s eligibility to participate in subsequent offering periods under the ESPP by filing a new authorization for payroll deductions. However, a participant may not re-enroll in the same offering period after withdrawal.

Purchase of Stock; Exercise of Option

By executing a subscription agreement to participate in the ESPP, the participant accepts the grant of an ESPP option to purchase shares during an offering period. Shares will be purchased at a discount determined by the Compensation Committee, but no more than 15% of the fair market value of the stock on the purchase date. The number of shares purchased by a participant will be determined by dividing the amount of the participant’s total payroll deductions for the offering period accumulated prior to the purchase date by the purchase price as determined by the Compensation Committee for the applicable purchase period. Unless the participant’s participation is discontinued, each participant’s option for the purchase of shares will be exercised automatically on each purchase date at the applicable price.

No participant will be permitted to subscribe for shares under the ESPP (1) if immediately after the grant of the option, the participant would own five percent or more of the combined voting power of all classes of our stock or of any affiliate of the Company (including stock which may be purchased under the ESPP or pursuant to any other options), or (2) if and to the extent the fair market value of the shares (plus the fair market value of all rights to purchase stock under all similar stock plans of the Company or of any affiliate of the Company) would exceed $25,000 (determined as of the offering date of the offering period in which the participant is participating) for each calendar year in which an option to purchase stock under the ESPP is outstanding.

No participant will be entitled to purchase more than the maximum share amount on any single purchase date. Prior to the commencement of any offering period or prior to such time period as specified by the Compensation Committee, the Compensation Committee may, in its sole discretion, set a maximum share amount. If not otherwise set by the Compensation Committee, the maximum share amount will be 4,000 shares. If a new maximum share amount is set, then all participants must be notified of such amount prior to the commencement of the next offering period. The maximum share amount will continue to apply with respect to all succeeding purchase dates and offering periods unless revised by the Compensation Committee.

If the number of shares to be purchased on a purchase date by all participating employees exceeds the number of shares then available under the ESPP, a pro rata allocation of the available shares will be made in as equitable a manner as is practicable. Any payroll deductions accumulated in a participant’s account which are not used to purchase stock due to the limitations described above will be returned to the participant as soon as practicable after the end of the applicable purchase period, without interest unless required by local law.

Holding Period

The Compensation Committee has the authority to establish a minimum holding period for shares purchased under the ESPP.

Termination of Employment

Termination of a participant’s employment for any reason, including retirement, death or the failure of a participant to remain an eligible employee of the Company or a Participating Affiliate, will immediately terminate the participant’s participation in the ESPP. Any payroll deductions credited to the participant’s account will be returned to the participant, or, in the case of the participant’s death, to the participant’s designated beneficiary, without interest, unless otherwise required by law.

Termination and Amendment

The ESPP will terminate ten years from approval by our stockholders, unless it is terminated earlier pursuant to its terms. The Compensation Committee may suspend or terminate the ESPP at any time. No options to purchase shares pursuant to the ESPP may be granted under the ESPP while it is suspended or after it is terminated.

The Compensation Committee may amend the ESPP at any time in any respect it deems necessary or advisable. However, subject to certain limitations, stockholder approval shall be required for any amendment of the ESPP for which stockholder approval is required by applicable law or listing requirements. In the event the Board or the Compensation Committee determines that the ongoing operation of the ESPP may result in unfavorable financial accounting consequences, the Board or the Compensation Committee may, to the extent permitted under Section 423 of the Code with respect to offerings under the Section 423 of the Code, in its discretion and, to the extent necessary or desirable, modify or amend the ESPP to reduce or eliminate such accounting consequence including, but not limited to:

(a)	subject to the requirement that the purchase price per share at which a share shall be sold in any offering period be no less than 85% of the fair market value of the shares on the purchase date, altering the purchase price for any offering including an offering underway at the time of the change in purchase price;

(b)	shortening any offering period so that it ends on a new offering date, including an offering period underway at the time of the Board or Compensation Committee action;

(c)	reducing the maximum contribution a participant may elect to contribute under the ESPP; and

(d)	reducing the maximum number of shares a participant may purchase during any offering.

Adjustments upon Changes in Capitalization, Change of Control or Dissolution

Subject to any required action by the Company’s stockholders, (1) the number and type of shares covered by each outstanding option, (2) the price per share subject to each outstanding option and (3) the number and type of shares which have been authorized for issuance under the ESPP (including the maximum number in the evergreen feature) will each be proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number or kind of issued and outstanding shares resulting from a stock split, stock dividend or any other increase or decrease in the number of issued and outstanding shares of the class of our stock subject to the ESPP effected without receipt of consideration by the Company or other change in the corporate structure or capitalization affecting the class of our stock subject to the ESPP.

In the event of a change in control transaction of the Company, the ESPP will continue with regard to offering periods that commenced prior to the closing of the proposed transaction and shares will be purchased based on the fair market value of the successor entity’s stock on each purchase date, unless otherwise provided by the Compensation Committee. In addition, in the event that the Company effects a reorganization, recapitalization, rights offering or other increase or reduction of shares of its outstanding stock, or in the event of the Company being consolidated with or merged into any other corporation, the Compensation Committee may, in its sole discretion, also make provision for adjusting the number and type of shares which have been authorized for issuance under the ESPP, as well as the price per share of the stock covered by each outstanding option.

In the event of a dissolution or liquidation of the Company, each offering period under the ESPP then in progress will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of the dissolution or liquidation, unless otherwise provided by the Compensation Committee. In addition, in the event of a dissolution or liquidation, the Compensation Committee may terminate the ESPP as of a date fixed by the Compensation Committee and give each participant the right to purchase shares under the ESPP prior to the termination.

Committee Rules for Foreign Jurisdictions and the Non-Section 423 Qualified Component

The Compensation Committee may adopt rules or procedures relating to the operation and administration of the ESPP to accommodate the specific requirements of local laws and procedures. The Compensation Committee is specifically authorized to adopt rules and procedures regarding handling of contributions, payment of interest, conversion of local currency, payroll tax, withholding procedures and handling of stock certificates which vary with local legal requirements. The Compensation Committee may also adopt rules, procedures or sub-plans applicable to particular affiliates or locations, which rules, procedures or sub-plans may be designed to be outside the scope of Section 423 of the Code. The terms of such rules, procedures or sub-plans may take precedence over other provisions of the ESPP, but unless otherwise expressly superseded by the terms of such rule, procedure or sub-plan, the provisions of the ESPP shall govern the operation of the ESPP. Employees participating in the non-Section 423 qualified component by means of rules, procedures or sub-plans adopted need not have the same rights and privileges as employees participating in the Section 423 qualified component.

Federal Income Tax Consequences

THE FOLLOWING IS A GENERAL SUMMARY OF THE TYPICAL UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE PURCHASE OF SHARES UNDER THE ESPP. IT DOES NOT DESCRIBE JURISDICTIONS OUTSIDE OF THE UNITED STATES, STATE OR OTHER TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE PURCHASE OF SHARES UNDER THE ESPP.

The ESPP, and the right of U.S. participants to make purchases under the ESPP, is intended to qualify for the federal income tax treatment provided to employee stock purchase plans and their participants under the provisions of Sections 421 and 423 of the Code. Under these provisions, no income will be taxable to a participant until the shares purchased under the ESPP are sold or otherwise disposed of. Upon sale or other disposition of the shares, the participant will generally be subject to tax in a manner that depends upon the holding period of the shares. If the shares are sold or otherwise disposed of (including by gift) more than two years from the first day of the offering period and more than one year from the date the shares are purchased, the participant will recognize ordinary income measured as the lesser of (1) the excess of the fair market value of the shares at the time of the sale or disposition over the purchase price of the shares, or (2) the excess of the fair market value of the shares as of the first day of the offering period over the purchase price of the shares. Any additional gain or loss will be treated as long-term capital gain or loss. If the shares are sold or otherwise disposed of (including by gift) before the expiration of either of these holding periods, the participant will recognize ordinary income generally measured as the excess of the fair market value of the shares on the date the shares are purchased over the purchase price. Any additional gain or loss on the sale or disposition will be long-term or short-term capital gain or loss, depending on whether or not the disposition occurs more than one year after the date the shares are purchased. The Company is not entitled to a deduction for amounts taxed as ordinary income or capital gain to a participant except to the extent of ordinary income recognized by a participant upon a sale or disposition of shares prior to the expiration of the holding periods described above.

New Plan Benefits

The amounts of future purchases under the ESPP are not determinable because participation is voluntary, participation levels depend on each participant’s elections and the restrictions of Section 423 of the Code and the ESPP, and the per-share purchase price depends on the future value of our common stock.

Recommendation of the Board

The Board recommends that you vote “FOR” the approval of the ESPP.

PROPOSAL 3: RATIFICATION OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

RSM US LLP was appointed as our independent registered public accounting firm ("IRPA Firm") on June 16, 2008. RSM US LLP audited our consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019. The Audit Committee of our Board has appointed RSM US LLP as our IRPA Firm for the year ending December 31, 2021, subject to the determination of the 2021 audit fees. The Audit Committee has the sole authority and responsibility to select, appoint, evaluate and, where appropriate, discharge and replace RSM US LLP as our IRPA Firm, and the appointment of our IRPA Firm is not required to be submitted to a vote of the stockholders for ratification. The Audit Committee has elected to submit its appointment of RSM US LLP for ratification by stockholders. Notwithstanding the outcome of the vote by the stockholders, the Audit Committee is not bound to retain the IRPA Firm or to replace the IRPA Firm, where, in either case, after considering the outcome of the vote, the Audit Committee determines its decision regarding the IRPA Firm to be in the best interests of inTEST. Representatives of RSM US LLP will attend the Annual Meeting, and will be available to respond to questions and if they desire, make a statement.

The following table sets forth the fees billed by RSM US LLP as described below:

	2020		2019
Fee Category:
Audit Fees	$	354,500	$	387,000
Audit-Related Fees		15,750		36,144
Tax Fees		102,761		202,049
All Other Fees		56,521		49,095

Total Fees	$	529,532	$	674,288

Audit Fees: Consists of fees billed for professional services rendered in connection with the audit of our consolidated financial statements and review of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements for 2020 and 2019, respectively, that are included in quarterly reports during those years and services that are normally provided by our IRPA Firm in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements, and attest services, except those not required by statute or regulation.

Audit-Related Fees: Consists of fees billed in each of 2020 and 2019 for assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of our consolidated financial statements and are not reported under "Audit Fees." These services would include auditing procedures in connection with acquisitions and divestitures, attest services that are not required by statute or regulation, and auditing procedures in connection with the adoption of financial accounting and reporting standards.

Tax Fees: Consists of fees billed in each of 2020 and 2019 for tax related services including advice, preparation of returns and other tax services related to federal, state and international taxes.

All Other Fees: Consists of fees billed in each of 2020 and 2019 for all products and services provided by the principal accountant, other than those reported above.

In accordance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the Audit Committee's policy is to pre-approve all audit and non-audit services provided by our IRPA Firm. On an ongoing basis, management defines and communicates specific projects and categories of service for which the advance approval of the Audit Committee is requested. The Audit Committee reviews these requests and advises management if the Audit Committee approves the engagement of our IRPA Firm for such services. The Audit Committee has also delegated authority to the Chairperson of the Audit Committee, and if the Chairperson of the Committee is unavailable, to any other Audit Committee member, to pre-approve permitted services. Any such pre-approval must be reported to the Audit Committee at its next meeting. The Audit Committee did not approve any services pursuant to the de minimis exception of Rule 2-01(c)(7)(i)(C) of Regulation S-X during 2020.

Recommendation of the Board

The Board recommends a vote "FOR" the ratification of the appointment of RSM US LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2021.

PROPOSAL 4: ADVISORY VOTE ON THE COMPENSATION OF OUR NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS

In accordance with Section 14A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), we are again providing our stockholders with the opportunity at the Annual Meeting to approve, on a non-binding advisory basis, the 2020 compensation of our named executive officers as disclosed in the Executive Compensation section of this proxy statement, including the Overview of the Executive Compensation Program, the Summary Compensation Table and the related tables, notes, and narratives. Currently this “say on pay” vote is conducted every year. As previously reported, the option of holding the advisory vote on the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers every year was approved on an advisory basis by a vote of the stockholders at the 2019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The Company’s Board considered the outcome of such advisory vote and determined to hold future stockholder advisory votes on executive compensation every year, until the Board determines that a different frequency for such votes is in the best interests of the Company’s stockholders or until the next required vote of the Company’s stockholders on the frequency of such votes.

We urge stockholders to read the discussion in this proxy statement of Executive Compensation which describes our 2020 executive compensation program principles and practices in more detail, including the Summary Compensation table and other related tables, notes and narratives, which provide detailed information about the compensation of our named executive officers.

While this proposal is an advisory vote that will be non-binding, the Board and the Compensation Committee will review and consider the voting results when making future decisions regarding the compensation of our named executive officers.

The next advisory vote on the compensation of our named executive officers will take place at our Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held in 2022.

Recommendation of the Board

The Board recommends that you vote "FOR" the approval, on an advisory basis, of the compensation of our named executive officers.

INFORMATION REGARDING DEADLINES AND PROCEDURES FOR SUBMISSION OF STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS AND NOMINATION OF DIRECTORS

Under the proxy rules of the SEC, stockholders intending to submit proposals to be included in our proxy statement for our Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held in 2022 must send their proposals to Hugh T. Regan, Jr., Secretary at 804 East Gate Drive, Suite 200, Mt. Laurel, New Jersey 08054, not later than January 29, 2022. These proposals must relate to matters appropriate for stockholder action and be consistent with regulations of the SEC relating to stockholder proposals (“Rule 14a-8”) in order to be considered for inclusion in our proxy statement relating to that meeting.

Under our bylaws, certain procedures are provided that a stockholder must follow to nominate persons for election as directors or to introduce an item of business at an annual meeting of stockholders. These procedures provide that nominations for director nominees and/or an item of business to be introduced at an annual meeting of stockholders must be submitted in writing to the Secretary of inTEST at the address set forth above, not later than 90 days and not earlier than 120 days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year's annual meeting of stockholders, subject to certain exceptions. Accordingly, a notice of a stockholder proposal, submitted outside of Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act, or a stockholder nomination for the 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders will be untimely if received by inTEST's Secretary before February 23, 2022 or after March 25, 2022, unless the date of the 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders is advanced by more than 30 days or delayed (other than as a result of adjournment) by more than 30 days from the anniversary of the 2021 Annual Meeting. If the date of the 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders is changed by more than 30 days from the anniversary of the 2021 Annual Meeting, then notice by the stockholder to be timely must be delivered not earlier than the 120th day prior to the date of the 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and not later than the close of business on the later of the 90th day prior to such annual meeting or the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made.

The bylaws set forth various qualifications and disclosure requirements for such advance written notice of a nomination or proposal to be in proper form. A stockholder wishing to submit such a notice should review the provisions of our bylaws (which are filed with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020). In general, the disclosure requirements include information about the stockholder making the nomination or proposal, information regarding the nominee or proposal, and in the case of a nomination, a certification and consent from the nominee. If a stockholder fails to comply with the time of notice procedures set forth in our Bylaws, that stockholder will not be entitled to present the proposal or nomination at the meeting.

APPENDIX A

inTEST CORPORATION

EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN
(Effective as of October 1, 2021)

1.	Establishment of Plan.

1.1 inTEST Corporation (the “Company”) proposes to grant options for purchase of the Company’s Common Stock (as defined below) as determined by the Committee (as defined below) to eligible Employees (as defined below) of the Company and its Participating Affiliates (as defined below) pursuant to this inTEST Corporation Employee Stock Purchase Plan (this “Plan”).

1.2 The purpose of this Plan is to provide eligible Employees of the Company and Participating Affiliates with a convenient means of acquiring an equity interest in the Company through payroll deductions, to align the interests of such Employees with those of the Company’s stockholders, and to provide an incentive for continued employment.

1.3 This Plan is an omnibus document which includes a Section 423 Plan Component (as defined below) designed to qualify as an “employee stock purchase plan” under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), although the Company makes no undertaking or representation to maintain such qualification. In addition, the Plan authorizes the grant of options under a Non-423 Plan Component pursuant to rules, procedures or sub-plans adopted by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) (or its designate). To the extent that the Company grants options to Employees of its Participating Affiliates under this Plan, such grants shall be made only under the Non-423 Plan Component.

1.4 The Section 423 Plan Component shall be a separate and independent plan from the Non-423 Plan Component, provided, however, that the total number of Shares (as defined below) authorized to be issued under the Plan applies in the aggregate to both the Section 423 Plan Component and the Non-423 Plan Component. Offerings under the Non-423 Plan Component may be made to achieve desired tax or other objectives in particular locations outside the United States of America or to comply with local laws applicable to offerings in such foreign jurisdictions. In the event of a conflict between the terms of the Non-423 Plan Component and the terms of this Plan, then with the exception of Sections 3, 11.2, 16 and 26 with respect to the total number of Shares available to be offered under the Plan for all sub-plans, the terms of the Non-423 Plan Component will control. Except to the extent expressly set forth herein or where the context suggests otherwise, any reference herein to “Plan” shall be construed to include a reference to both the Section 423 Plan Component and the Non-423 Plan Component.

1.5 All eligible Employees shall have equal rights and privileges with respect to this Plan so that the Section 423 Plan Component qualifies as an “employee stock purchase plan” within the meaning of Section 423 of the Code, except for differences that may be mandated by local law and that are consistent with Code Section 423(b)(5). Participants participating in the Non-423 Plan Component by means of rules, procedures or sub-plans adopted pursuant to Section 21 need not have the same rights and privileges as participants participating in the Section 423 Plan Component.

2.	Definitions.

2.1 Any term not expressly defined in this Plan but defined for purposes of Section 423 of the Code shall have the same definition herein. In addition, this Plan uses the following defined terms:

2.2 “Affiliate” means any “parent corporation” or “subsidiary corporation” of the Company whether now or subsequently established, as those terms are defined in Section 424(e) and (f), respectively, of the Code. With respect to the Non-423 Plan Component, a non-subsidiary can be deemed to be an Affiliate and may be designated by the Committee for participation in the Non-423 Plan Component.

2.3 “Board” means the Board of Directors of the Company.

2.4 “Code” means the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

2.5 “Committee” means the Compensation Committee of the Board or one or more subcommittees appointed by the Committee to administer the Plan.

For a Non-423 Plan Component, Employee shall mean an employee of the Company or its deemed Affiliate on any other basis as determined by the Company (if required under applicable local law).

2.11 “Fair Market Value” means the value of a Share as determined as follows. If the Shares are listed on any established stock exchange or quoted on a national market system, including, without limitation, the New York Stock Exchange or the Nasdaq Stock Market, the Fair Market Value shall be the closing price of a Share as quoted on such exchange or system on the day for which the value is being determined (or if no sales were reported, the closing price on the trading date immediately preceding such date), as reported by The Wall Street Journal or such other source as the Committee deems reliable. In the absence of an established market for the Shares, the Fair Market Value shall be determined in good faith by the Committee and such determination shall be final, conclusive and binding on all persons.

2.12 “Insider Trading Policy” means the Company’s Statement of Policy Regarding Purchases and Sales of Securities by Directors, Officers and Employees, as such policy may be amended from time to time.

2.13 “Maximum Share Amount” means a maximum number of Shares which may be purchased by any Employee at any single Purchase Date.

The Offering Periods of this Plan may be up to twenty-seven (27) months in duration and may consist of up to eight (8) Purchase Periods during which payroll deductions of the participants are accumulated under this Plan. However, unless and until determined otherwise by the Committee, each Offering Period shall have a duration of three months and shall commence on October 1, January 1, April 1, or July 1 and each Offering Period shall have only one Purchase Period which shall run simultaneously with the Offering Period. The duration and timing of Offering Periods may be changed pursuant to Section 6, Section 16 and Section 26 of this Plan, provided that no Offering Period shall exceed a period of twenty-seven (27) months.

2.18 “Officer” means a person who is an officer of the Company as defined in Rule 16a-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

2.19 “Participating Affiliates” means inTEST EMS LLC, Temptronic Corporation, Ambrell Corporation, inTEST Pte. Ltd., inTEST Thermal GmbH, Ambrell BV, Ambrell Ltd. and any such Affiliates that the Committee designates from time to time as corporations that shall participate in this Plan.

2.20 “Plan” means this inTEST Corporation Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

2.21 “Purchase Date” means the last business day of each Purchase Period.

2.22 “Purchase Period” means a period commencing and ending on those dates determined by the Committee.

2.25 “Section 423 Plan Component” means the component of the Plan designed to qualify as an “employee stock purchase plan” under Section 423 of the Code.

2.26 “Share” means a share of Common Stock.

3.	Number of Shares.

3.1 The maximum number of Shares that will be offered under the Plan is 250,000 Shares, subject to adjustment as permitted under Section 16. For avoidance of doubt, the limitation set forth in this Section 3.1 may be used to satisfy purchases of Shares under either the Section 423 Plan Component or the Non-423 Plan Component.

3.2 If any Purchase Right granted under the Plan shall for any reason terminate without having been exercised, the Shares not purchased under such Purchase Right shall again become available for issuance under the Plan.

3.3 The Shares purchasable under the Plan shall be shares of authorized but unissued or reacquired Shares, including shares repurchased by the Company on the open market.

4.	Administration.

The Committee, in the exercise of this power, may correct any defect, omission, or inconsistency in the Plan, in a manner and to the extent it shall deem necessary or expedient to make the Plan fully effective. Subject to the provisions of this Plan, the Committee shall have all authority to (i) determine and change the percentage discount pursuant to Section 9, (ii) determine and change the Offering Periods and Offering Dates pursuant to Section 6, (iii) determine and change the purchase price for Shares pursuant to Section 9, (iv) prescribe minimum holding periods for the Shares issued under this Plan, and (v) prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to this Plan. All decisions of the Committee shall be final, binding, and conclusive upon all parties. Members of the Committee shall receive no compensation for their services in connection with the administration of this Plan, other than standard fees as established from time to time by the Board for services rendered by Board members serving on Board committees. All expenses incurred in connection with the administration of this Plan shall be paid by the Company.

4.2 In its rules and procedures for the administration of the Plan (including, without limitation, procedures covering any directions, elections, or other actions by Employees, and the delivery of statements and other disclosure materials to such individuals), the Committee may provide for the use of electronic communications and other media in a manner consistent with any applicable laws.

4.3 All determinations, interpretations and constructions made by the Committee in good faith shall not be subject to review by any person and shall be final, binding, and conclusive on all persons.

5.	Eligibility.

5.1 Any Employee of the Company or the Participating Affiliates is eligible to participate in an Offering Period under this Plan except the following:

(a) Employees with less than six (6) months of service with the Company or a Participating Affiliate prior to the beginning of such Offering Period or prior to such other time period as specified by the Committee;

(b) Employees who, as a result of being granted an option under this Plan with respect to such Offering Period, would, together with any other person whose stock would be attributed to such Employee pursuant to Section 424(d) of the Code, own stock or hold options to purchase stock possessing five percent (5%) or more of the total combined voting power or value of all classes of stock of the Company or any Affiliate;

A-3

(c) individuals who provide services to the Company or any of its Participating Affiliates as independent contractors who are reclassified as common law employees for any reason, provided that this exclusion will not apply if such individuals are considered employees for purposes of Section 423 of the Code;

(d) Employees who reside in countries for whom such Employees’ participation in the Plan would result in a violation under any corporate or securities laws of such country of residence;

(e) Employees whose customary employment is five (5) months per calendar year or less; and

(f) Employees whose customary employment is twenty (20) hours or less per week.

5.2 Individuals who are not Employees of the Company or a Participating Affiliates shall not be eligible to participate in an Offering Period.

6.	Offering Dates.

6.1 The Committee shall have the power to change the Offering Dates, the Purchase Dates and the duration of Offering Periods or Purchase Periods without stockholder approval if such change is announced prior to the relevant Offering Period or prior to such other time period as specified by the Committee.

7.	Participation in this Plan.

7.1 Eligible Employees may become participants in an Offering Period under this Plan on the Offering Date, after satisfying the eligibility requirements, by delivering a subscription agreement to the Company prior to such Offering Date, or such other time period as specified by the Committee. An eligible Employee who does not deliver a subscription agreement to the Company after becoming eligible to participate in an Offering Period shall not participate in that Offering Period or any subsequent Offering Period unless such Employee enrolls in this Plan by delivering a subscription agreement to the Company prior to such Offering Period, or such other time period as specified by the Committee. Once an Employee becomes a participant in an Offering Period by filing a subscription agreement, such Employee shall automatically participate in the Offering Period commencing immediately following the last day of the prior Offering Period unless the Employee withdraws or is deemed to withdraw from this Plan or terminates further participation in the Offering Period as set forth in Section 12 below. Such participant is not required to file any additional subscription agreement in order to continue participation in this Plan.

8.	Grant of Option on Enrollment.

8.1 Enrollment by an eligible Employee in this Plan with respect to an Offering Period shall constitute the grant (as of the Offering Date) by the Company to such Employee of an option to purchase on the Purchase Date up to that number of Shares determined by a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount accumulated in such Employee’s payroll deduction account during such Purchase Period and the denominator of which is the purchase price per Share determined under Section 9, provided, however, that the number of Shares subject to any option granted pursuant to this Plan shall not exceed the maximum number of Shares set by the Committee pursuant to Section 11.2 below with respect to the applicable Purchase Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a change in generally accepted accounting principles which would adversely affect the accounting treatment applicable to any current Offering Period, the Committee may make such changes to the number of Shares purchased at the end of the Purchase Period or the purchase price paid as are allowable under generally accepted accounting principles and as it deems necessary in the sole discretion of the Committee to avoid or minimize adverse accounting consequences.

9.	Purchase Price.

9.1 The purchase price per Share at which a Share shall be sold in any Offering Period shall be as determined by the Committee but no less than eighty-five percent (85%) of the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the Purchase Date.

10.

Payment of Purchase Price; Changes in Payroll Deductions; Issuance of Shares.

10.1 The purchase price of the Shares is accumulated by regular payroll deductions made during each Offering Period. The deductions are made as a percentage of the participant’s Compensation in one percent (1%) increments, not less than one percent (1%), nor greater than twenty-five percent (25%), or such lower limit set by the Committee. Payroll deductions shall commence on the first payday of the Offering Period and shall continue to the end of the Offering Period unless sooner altered or terminated as provided in this Plan. If payroll deductions are not permitted in a jurisdiction, participants in that jurisdiction may contribute via check or pursuant to another method approved by the Committee.

A-4

10.2 A participant may increase or decrease the rate of payroll deductions at any time, with such change to be effective commencing as of the next Offering Period. Any such increase or decrease in participation level shall be made by filing with the Company a new subscription agreement changing his or her payroll deductions. Any such change must be submitted to the Company prior to the fifteen (15) day period (or such shorter period of time as determined by the Company) immediately preceding the next Offering Period for which it is to be effective.

10.3 All payroll deductions made for a participant are credited to his or her account under this Plan and are deposited with the general funds of the Company. No interest accrues on the payroll deductions, unless required by local law. All payroll deductions received or held by the Company may be used by the Company for any corporate purpose, and the Company shall not be obligated to segregate such payroll deductions, unless required by local law.

10.4 On each Purchase Date, for so long as this Plan remains in effect, and provided that the participant has not submitted a signed and completed a withdrawal form pursuant to Section 12 before that date, which notifies the Company that the participant wishes to withdraw from that Offering Period under this Plan and have all payroll deductions accumulated in the account maintained on behalf of the participant, as of that date returned to the participant, the Company shall apply the funds then in the participant’s account to the purchase of whole and fractional Shares reserved under the option granted to such participant with respect to the Offering Period to the extent that such option is exercisable on the Purchase Date. The purchase price per Share shall be as specified in Section 9 of this Plan. In the event that this Plan has been oversubscribed, all funds not used to purchase Shares on the Purchase Date shall be returned to the participant, without interest. No Share shall be purchased on a Purchase Date on behalf of any Employee whose participation in this Plan has terminated prior to such Purchase Date.

10.5 As soon as practicable after the Purchase Date, the Company shall issue Shares for the participant’s benefit representing the Shares purchased upon exercise of his or her option.

10.6 During a participant’s lifetime, his or her option to purchase Shares hereunder is exercisable only by him or her. The participant shall have no interest or voting rights in Shares covered by his or her option until such option has been exercised and Shares have been issued to the participant.

10.7 Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, the Purchase Rights relating to participation in the Plan shall not be given effect until such time as a registration statement covering the shares reserved under the Plan that are subject to the Purchase Rights has been filed by the Company and has become effective.

10.8 As promptly as practicable after the Purchase Date of each Purchase Period, the number of shares of Common Stock purchased by each participant shall be issued by the Company and deposited into a brokerage account established in the participant’s name with the Plan’s broker, for and on behalf of the participant, in accordance with procedures established from time to time by the Committee. The terms of such Plan broker account shall be as provided herein and at the sole discretion of the Committee; and a participant’s participation in the Plan is expressly conditioned on his or her acceptance of such terms.

10.9 Any Plan broker account established to hold a participant’s Shares shall be titled solely in the name of the participant, unless the participant is notified by the Committee (or its delegate) that the account may be titled or re-titled jointly with another person, consistent with the policies of the Plan broker and applicable law. The participant may dispose of the Shares in his or her Plan broker account, whether by sale, exchange, gift or other transfer of title, in which case applicable transaction fees may be charged.

10.10 Dividends paid in the form of cash, Shares or other non-cash consideration with respect to the Common Stock in a participant’s Plan account established under this Section 10 shall be credited to such Plan broker account. However, if a participant holding Shares in any Plan broker account is subject to United States withholding taxes on any dividends payable with respect to the Shares, all cash dividends payable on those Shares shall be paid by the Company net of the applicable United States withholding taxes on such dividends, which taxes shall be withheld by the Company and paid to the appropriate United States tax authorities.

11.

Limitations on Shares to be Purchased.

11.1 No participant shall be entitled to purchase stock under this Plan at a rate which, when aggregated with his or her rights to purchase stock under all other employee stock purchase plans of the Company or any Affiliate, exceeds $25,000 in Fair Market Value, determined as of the Offering Date (or such other limit as may be imposed by the Code) for each calendar year in which the Employee participates in this Plan. The Company shall have the authority to take all necessary action, including but not limited to, suspending the payroll deductions of any participant, in order to ensure compliance with this Section.

A-5

11.2 No participant shall be entitled to purchase more than the Maximum Share Amount on any single Purchase Date. Prior to the commencement of any Offering Period or prior to such time period as specified by the Committee, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, set a Maximum Share Amount. If the Committee does not set a Maximum Share Amount, the Maximum Share Amount shall be 4,000 Shares. If a new Maximum Share Amount is set, then all participants must be notified of such Maximum Share Amount prior to the commencement of the next Offering Period. The Maximum Share Amount shall continue to apply with respect to all succeeding Purchase Dates and Offering Periods unless revised by the Committee as set forth above.

11.3 If the number of Shares to be purchased on a Purchase Date by all Employees participating in this Plan exceeds the number of Shares then available for issuance under this Plan, then the Company shall make a pro rata allocation of the remaining Shares in as uniform a manner as shall be reasonably practicable and as the Committee shall determine to be equitable. In such event, the Company shall give written notice of such reduction of the number of Shares to be purchased under a participant’s option to each participant affected.

11.4 Any payroll deductions accumulated in a participant’s account which are not used to purchase stock due to the limitations in this Section 11 shall be returned to the participant as soon as practicable after the end of the applicable Purchase Period, without interest unless required by local law.

12.

Withdrawal.

12.1 A participant may cancel all (but not less than all) of his or her payroll deductions under the Plan and terminate his or her participation in an Offering Period by delivering a written notice to the Company to that effect on a form provided for such purpose. Such withdrawal may be elected at any time prior to the end of an Offering Period, or such other time period as specified by the Committee.

12.2 In the Committee’s discretion, based on uniform rules and procedures established from time to time by the Committee, a participant who withdraws from an Offering Period under Section 12.1 may withdraw all (but not less than all) of the payroll deferrals deducted from his or her pay and not yet used to purchase Shares at any time by making an election on a form provided for such purpose. In such case, all cash credited to the participant’s Plan account shall be paid to the participant as soon as is administratively reasonable, without interest, and his or her interest in this Plan shall terminate.

12.3 In the event a participant voluntarily elects to withdraw from this Plan through a cancellation under Section 12.1, he or she may not resume his or her participation in this Plan during the same Offering Period, but he or she may participate in any Offering Period under this Plan which commences on a date subsequent to such withdrawal by filing a new authorization for payroll deductions in the same manner as set forth in Section 7 above for initial participation in this Plan.

13.

Beneficiary.

13.1 In the event of the death of a participant, the Company shall deliver such Shares and/or cash to the executor or administrator of the estate of the participant, or if no such executor or administrator has been appointed (to the knowledge of the Company), the Company, in its sole discretion, may deliver such Shares and/or cash to the spouse or to any one or more dependents or relatives of the participant, or if no spouse, to the participant’s estate.

14.

Termination of Employment.

14.1 Termination of a participant’s employment for any reason, including retirement, death or the failure of a participant to remain an eligible Employee of the Company or of a Participating Affiliate, shall immediately terminate his or her participation in this Plan. In such event, the payroll deductions credited to the participant’s account shall be returned to him or her or, in the case of his or her death, to his or her beneficiary determined under Section 13. For purposes of this Section 14, an Employee shall not be deemed to have terminated employment or failed to remain in the continuous employ of the Company or of a Participating Affiliate in the case of sick leave, military leave, or any other leave of absence approved by the Board or Committee, provided, however that such leave is for a period of not more than ninety (90) days or reemployment upon the expiration of such leave is guaranteed by contract or statute. Whether and when employment is deemed terminated for purposes of this Plan shall be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion and may be determined without regard to statutory notice periods or other periods following termination of active employment.

A-6

15.

Return of Payroll Deductions.

15.1 In the event a participant’s interest in this Plan is terminated by withdrawal, termination of employment or otherwise prior to the withdrawal deadline established by the Committee, or in the event this Plan is terminated by the Board, the Company shall deliver to the participant all payroll deductions credited to such participant’s account. No interest shall accrue on the payroll deductions of a participant in this Plan, unless required by local law. In the event a participant dies with payroll deductions having been accumulated to purchase Shares at the next Purchase Date, and the Committee receives notice of such death prior to the withdrawal deadline established by the Committee, the Company shall deliver to the participant’s beneficiary determined under Section 13 all payroll deductions credited to such participant’s account.

16.

Capital Changes.

16.1 Subject to any required action by the stockholders of the Company, the Reserves, as well as the price per Share covered by each option under this Plan which has not yet been exercised, and limits on the number of Shares that may be purchased by an Employee, shall be proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number of issued and outstanding Shares resulting from a stock split or the payment of a stock dividend (but only on the Shares), any other increase or decrease in the number of issued and outstanding Shares effected without receipt of any consideration by the Company or other change in the corporate structure or capitalization affecting the Company’s present Shares, provided, however, that conversion of any convertible securities of the Company shall not be deemed to have been “effected without receipt of consideration.” Such adjustment shall be made by the Committee, whose determination shall be final, binding and conclusive. Except as expressly provided herein, no issue by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number or price of Shares subject to an option.

16.2 In the event of the proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Offering Period shall terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed action, unless otherwise provided by the Committee. The Committee may, in the exercise of its sole discretion in such instances, declare that this Plan shall terminate as of a date fixed by the Committee and give each participant the right to purchase Shares under this Plan prior to such termination. In the event of (i) a merger or consolidation in which the Company is not the surviving corporation (other than a merger or consolidation with a wholly-owned subsidiary, a reincorporation of the Company in a different jurisdiction, or other transaction in which there is no substantial change in the stockholders of the Company or their relative stock holdings and the options under this Plan are assumed, converted or replaced by the successor corporation, which assumption shall be binding on all participants), (ii) a merger in which the Company is the surviving corporation but after which the stockholders of the Company immediately prior to such merger (other than any stockholder that merges, or which owns or controls another corporation that merges, with the Company in such merger) cease to own their shares or other equity interest in the Company, (iii) the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or (iv) the acquisition, sale, or transfer of more than fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding shares of the Company by tender offer or similar transaction, the Plan shall continue with regard to Offering Periods that commenced prior to the closing of the proposed transaction and Shares shall be purchased based on the Fair Market Value of the surviving corporation’s stock on each Purchase Date, unless otherwise provided by the Committee.

16.3 The Committee may, if it so determines in the exercise of its sole discretion, also make provision for adjusting the Reserves, as well as the price per Share covered by each outstanding option, and limits on the number of Shares that may be purchased by an Employee, in the event that the Company effects one or more reorganizations, recapitalizations, rights offerings or other increases or reductions of its outstanding Shares, or in the event of the Company being consolidated with or merged into any other corporation.

17.

Nonassignability.

17.1 Neither payroll deductions credited to a participant’s account nor any rights with regard to the exercise of an option or to receive Shares under this Plan may be assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of in any way (other than by will, the laws of descent and distribution) by the participant. Any such attempt at assignment, transfer, pledge or other disposition shall be void and without effect.

18.

Reports.

18.1 Individual accounts shall be maintained for each participant in this Plan. Each participant shall receive, as soon as practicable after the end of each Purchase Period, a report in written or electronic form of his or her account setting forth the total payroll deductions accumulated, the number of Shares purchased, and the per Share price thereof.

A-7

19.

Notice of Disposition.

19.1 Each participant shall notify the Company in writing if the participant disposes of any of the Shares purchased in any Offering Period pursuant to this Plan if such disposition occurs within the Notice Period. The Company may, at any time during the Notice Period, place a legend or legends on any certificate representing Shares acquired pursuant to this Plan requesting the Company’s transfer agent to notify the Company of any transfer of the Shares. The obligation of the participant to provide such notice shall continue notwithstanding the placement of any such legend on the certificates.

20.

No Rights to Continued Employment.

20.1 An Employee’s employment with the Company or an Affiliate is not for any specified term and may be terminated by such Employee or by the Company or an Affiliate at any time, for any reason, with or without cause and with or without notice. Nothing in this Plan or any covenant of good faith and fair dealing that may be found implicit in this Plan shall (i) confer upon any Employee any right to continue in the employ of, or affiliation with, the Company or an Affiliate; (ii) constitute any promise or commitment by the Company or an Affiliate regarding the fact or nature of future positions, future work assignments, future compensation or any other term or condition of employment or affiliation; (iii) confer any right or benefit under this Plan unless such right or benefit has specifically accrued under the terms of this Plan; or (iv) deprive the Company of the right to terminate the Employee at will.

20.2 The right to continue participation in this Plan is conditioned on a participant’s continuing as an Employee at the will of the Company or an Affiliate and the Company has the right to reorganize, sell, spin-out or otherwise restructure one or more of its businesses at any time or from time to time, as it deems appropriate (a “reorganization”). Such a reorganization could result in the termination of a participant’s relationship as an Employee or the termination of the participant’s employer’s status as a Participating Affiliate and the loss of benefits available to the participant under this Plan.

21.

Committee Rules for Foreign Jurisdictions and the Non-423 Plan Component.

21.1 The Committee may adopt rules or procedures relating to the operation and administration of the Plan to accommodate the specific requirements of local laws and procedures. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Committee is specifically authorized to adopt rules and procedures regarding handling of contributions, payment of interest, conversion of local currency, payroll tax, withholding procedures and handling of stock certificates which vary with local legal requirements.

21.2 The Committee may also adopt rules, procedures or sub-plans applicable to particular Affiliates or locations, which rules, procedures or sub-plans may be designed to be outside the scope of Code Section 423. The terms of such rules, procedures or sub-plans may take precedence over other provisions of this Plan, but unless otherwise expressly superseded by the terms of such rule, procedure or sub-plan, the provisions of this Plan shall govern the operation of the Plan. To the extent inconsistent with the requirements of Code Section 423, such rules, procedures or sub-plans shall be considered part of the Non-423 Plan Component, and the options granted thereunder shall not be considered to comply with Code Section 423.

21.3 Employees participating in the Non-423 Plan Component by means of rules, procedures or sub-plans adopted pursuant to Section 15 need not have the same rights and privileges as Employees participating in the Section 423 Plan Component.

22.

Notices.

22.1 All notices or other communications by a participant to the Company under or in connection with this Plan shall be deemed to have been duly given when received in the form specified by the Company at the location, or by the person, designated by the Company for the receipt thereof. To the extent permitted by applicable law and in the discretion of the Committee, a participant may submit any form or notice as set forth herein by means of an electronic form approved by the Committee.
