VI. LTI PAYOUT POOL

The “LTI Payout Pool” is the amount determined in accordance with the following
matrix and rules:

6 Plan Years

   $16.6 Million

   $13.3 Million

8 Plan Years

   $10 Million

More than 8 Plan Years

If the Performance Target is not achieved within the first five (5) Plan Years
after the Effective Date, the LTIP Payout Pool is reduced on a pro rata basis by
month (based on completed months) until it equals $10 Million if the Performance
Target is achieved by the end of the Performance Measurement Period. In no event
may the LTI Payout Pool be increased.

VII. LTI PAYMENTS

7.01 LTI Payment Amount. Subject to the conditions of the Plan, if the
Performance Target is achieved during the Performance Measurement Period, each
Participant who is both (i) employed by the Company on the date the Performance
Target is achieved and (ii) employed by the Company on the fifth anniversary of
the Effective Date shall be entitled to receive a long term incentive payment
(“LTI Payment”) under the Plan. The amount of the Participant’s LTI Payment will
be determined in accordance with the following formula and matrix:

No LTI Payment shall be paid under the Plan if the Performance Target is not
achieved during the Performance Measurement Period. In addition, in no event may
a Participant’s share of the LTI Payout Pool be increased in any way, including
as a result of the reduction of any other Participant’s LTI Payment.

7.02 Special Situations Affecting LTI Payments.

Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary:

(a) If the Performance Target is achieved during the Performance Measurement
Period, a Participant whose employment is involuntarily terminated for any
reason (other than death or for Cause) after the Performance Target is achieved
but before the LTI Payment is paid will be eligible to receive an LTI Payment,
the amount of which will be determined in accordance with Section 7.01.

(b) If the Performance Target is achieved during the Performance Measurement
Period, and a Participant dies while employed after the Performance Target is
achieved but before the LTI Payment is paid, the beneficiary named by the
Participant under the Company’s Group Life Insurance Plan shall be eligible to
receive an LTI Payment, the amount of which will be determined in accordance
with Section 7.01.

(c) A Participant’s rights with respect to any LTI Payment under this Plan shall
be immediately forfeited in the event that (i) the Participant’s employment is
terminated for Cause, or (ii) the Participant breaches any written covenants
specified in the Participant’s employment agreement or any non-compete agreement
relating to the Participant’s competition with the Company.

VIII. PAYMENT OF LTI PAYMENTS

change to the payment date of the LTI Payments shall comply with the
requirements of Code Section 409A and applicable IRS guidance issued thereunder.

consent of the Participant, alter or impair a Participant’s right to receive an
LTI Payment to which the Participant became entitled on or before the date of
such action.

terminate a Participant’s employment, or to increase or decrease the
compensation of the Participant from the rate at the time of the Effective Date.
