approval of the minutes in which the certification was made) the extent to which
the Performance Goals applicable to each Participant for the Performance Period

to any Participant below that which otherwise would be payable under the Payout
Formula but shall not have the right to increase the Award above that which
would otherwise be payable under the Payout Formula.
 
(b) Right to Receive Payment.  Each Award under the Plan shall be paid solely
from the general assets of the Company. Nothing in this Plan shall be construed
to create a trust or to establish or evidence any Participant’s claim of any
right to payment of an Award other than as an unsecured general creditor with
respect to any payment to which he or she may be entitled. A Participant needs
to be employed by the Company through the payment date in order to be eligible
to receive an Award payout hereunder.

Period, but no later than the fifteenth day of the third month of the Fiscal
Year following the determination and certification.
 
(e) Deferral.  The Committee may defer payment of Awards, or any portion
thereof, to Participants as the Committee, in its discretion, determines to be
necessary or desirable to preserve the deductibility of such amounts under
Section 162(m). In addition, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may permit a
Participant to defer receipt of the payment of cash that would otherwise be
delivered to a Participant under the Plan. Any such deferral elections shall be
subject to such rules and procedures as shall be determined by the Committee in
its sole discretion.

10.  Amendment and Termination of the Plan.  The Committee may amend, modify,
suspend or terminate the Plan, in whole or in part, at any time, including the
adoption of amendments deemed necessary or desirable to correct any defect or to
supply omitted data or to reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan or in any
Award granted hereunder; provided, however, that no amendment, alteration,
suspension or discontinuation shall be made which would (a) impair any payments
to Participants made prior to such amendment, modification, suspension or
termination, unless the Committee has made a determination that such amendment
or modification is in the best interests of all persons to whom Awards have
theretofore been granted; provided further, however, that in no event may such
an amendment or modification result in an increase in the amount of compensation
payable pursuant to such Award or (b) cause compensation that is, or may become,
payable hereunder to fail to qualify as Performance-Based Compensation. To the
extent necessary or advisable under applicable law, including Section 162(m),
Plan amendments shall be subject to stockholder approval. At no time before the
actual distribution of funds to Participants under the Plan shall any
Participant accrue any vested interest or right whatsoever under the Plan except
as otherwise stated in this Plan.
 
11.  Withholding.  Distributions pursuant to this Plan shall be subject to all
applicable federal and state tax and withholding requirements.
 
12.  At-Will Employment.  No statement in this Plan should be construed to grant
any employee an employment contract of fixed duration or any other contractual
rights, nor should this Plan be interpreted as creating an implied or an
expressed contract of employment or any other contractual rights between the
Company and its employees. The employment relationship between the Company and
its employees is terminable at-will. This means that an employee of the Company
may terminate the employment relationship at any time and for any reason or no
reason.
 
13.  Successors.  All obligations of the Company under the Plan, with respect to
awards granted hereunder, shall be binding on any successor to the Company,
whether the existence of such successor is the result of a direct or indirect
purchase, merger, consolidation, or otherwise, of all or substantially all of
the business or assets of the Company.
 
14.  Indemnification.  Each person who is or shall have been a member of the
Committee, or of the Board, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the
Company against and from (a) any loss, cost, liability, or expense that may be
imposed upon or reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with or
resulting from any claim, action, suit, or proceeding to which he or she may be
a party or in which he or she may be involved by reason of any action taken or
failure to act under the Plan or any award, and (b) from any and all amounts
paid by him or her in settlement thereof, with the Company’s approval, or paid
by him or her in satisfaction of any judgment in any such claim, action, suit,
or proceeding against him or her, provided he or she shall give the Company an
opportunity, at its own expense, to handle and defend the same before he or she
undertakes to handle and defend it on his or her own behalf. The foregoing right
of indemnification shall not be exclusive of any other rights of indemnification
to which such persons may be entitled under the Company’s Certificate of
Incorporation or Bylaws, by contract, as a matter of law, or otherwise, or under
any power that the Company may have to indemnify them or hold them harmless.
 
15.  Nonassignment.  The rights of a Participant under this Plan shall not be
assignable or transferable by the Participant except by will or the laws of
intestacy.
