contribute to the success of the Company and to operate and manage the Company’s
business in a manner that will provide for the Company’s long-term growth and

personnel. To this end, the Plan provides for the grant of options, stock
appreciation rights, restricted stock, stock units (including deferred stock
units), unrestricted stock, dividend equivalent rights, other equity-based
awards and cash bonus awards. Any of these Awards may, but need not, be made as
performance incentives to reward the holders of such Awards for the achievement
of annual or long-term performance goals in accordance with the terms of the
Plan. Options granted under the Plan may be Non-qualified Stock Options or
Incentive Stock Options, as provided herein.

ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN

3.1Committee.

(a)The Committee shall administer the Plan and shall have such powers and
authorities related to the administration of the Plan as are consistent with the
Company’s articles of incorporation and bylaws and Applicable Laws. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Committee shall have full power
and authority to take all actions and to make all determinations required or
provided for under the Plan, any Award or any Award Agreement, and shall have
full power and authority to take all such other actions and make all such other
determinations not inconsistent with the specific terms and provisions of the
Plan which the Committee deems to be necessary or appropriate to the
administration of the Plan, any Award or any Award Agreement. All such actions
and determinations shall be made by (i) the affirmative vote of a majority of
the members of the Committee present at a meeting at which a quorum is present,
or (ii) the unanimous consent of the members of the Committee executed in
writing or evidenced by electronic transmission in accordance with the Company’s
articles of incorporation and bylaws and Applicable Laws. Unless otherwise
expressly determined by the Board, the interpretation and construction by the
Committee of any provision of the Plan, any Award or any Award Agreement shall
be final, binding and conclusive whether or not expressly provided for in any
provision of the Plan, such Award or such Award Agreement.

(b)In the event that the Plan, any Award or any Award Agreement provides for any
action to be taken by or any determination to be made by the Board, such action
may be taken or such determination may be made by the Committee or another
committee constituted in accordance with this Section 3.1 if the Board has
delegated the power and authority to do so to the Committee or such other
committee pursuant to this Section 3.1. Unless otherwise expressly determined by
the Board, any such action or determination by the Committee or other committee
shall be final, binding and conclusive whether or not expressly provided for in
any provision of the Plan, such Award or such Award Agreement.

(c)Except as provided in Section 3.2 and except as the Board may otherwise
determine, the Committee shall consist of two or more Outside Directors of the
Company who: (a) meet such requirements as may be established from time to time
by the Securities and Exchange Commission for plans intended to qualify for
exemption under Rule 16b-3 (or its successor) under the Exchange Act,

6

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

and (b) comply with the independence requirements of the Stock Exchange or
Securities Market on which the Stock is listed or publicly traded; provided,
that any action taken by the Committee shall be valid and effective whether or
not members of the Committee at the time of such action are later determined not
to have satisfied the requirements for membership set forth in this Section 3.1
or otherwise provided in any charter of the Committee; provided, further that,
notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, to the extent necessary to
satisfy any transition rule or applicable transition guidance pertaining to
Awards intended to satisfy the criteria for performance-based compensation under
Code Section 162(m), the Committee administering such Awards shall consist of
two or more Outside Directors who qualify as “outside directors” within the
meaning of Code Section 162(m) and the applicable guidance thereunder.  Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Committee may be the Compensation
Committee of the Board or a subcommittee thereof if the Compensation Committee
of the Board or such subcommittee satisfies the foregoing requirements.  

(d)The Board may also appoint one or more committees of the Board, each composed
of one or more directors of the Company who need not be Outside Directors, who
may administer the Plan with respect to employees or other Service Providers who
are not “executive officers” as defined in Rule 3b-7 under the Exchange Act or
directors of the Company, may grant Awards under the Plan to such employees or
other Service Providers, and may determine all terms of such Awards, subject to
the requirements of Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act and any Stock Exchange or
Securities Market on which the Stock is listed or publicly traded. Any reference
to “Committee” in the Plan, any Award or any Award Agreement shall be deemed, as
applicable, to refer to any committee appointed by the Board pursuant to this
Section 3.1.

(e)To the extent permitted by Applicable Laws, the Committee may, by resolution,
delegate some or all of its authority with respect to the Plan and Awards to the
Chief Executive Officer of the Company and/or any other officer of the Company
designated by the Committee, provided that the Committee may not delegate its
authority hereunder (i) to make Awards to directors of the Company, (ii) to make
Awards to employees who are (A) “executive officers” as defined in Rule 3b-7
under the Exchange Act, or (B) officers of the Company who are delegated
authority by the Committee pursuant to this Section 3.1, or (iii) to interpret
the Plan, any Award or any Award Agreement.  Any delegation hereunder will be
subject to the restrictions and limits that the Committee specifies at the time
of such delegation or thereafter.  Nothing in the Plan will be construed as
obligating the Committee to delegate authority to any officer of the Company,
and the Committee may at any time rescind the authority delegated to an officer
of the Company appointed hereunder and delegate authority to one or more other
officers of the Company.  At all times, an officer of the Company delegated
authority pursuant to this Section 3.1 will serve in such capacity at the
pleasure of the Committee.  Any action undertaken by any such officer of the
Company in accordance with the Committee’s delegation of authority will have the
same force and effect as if undertaken directly by the Committee, and any
reference to the “Committee” in the Plan, any Award or any Award Agreement shall
be deemed, to the extent consistent with the terms and limitations of such
delegation, to refer to each officer delegated authority by the Committee
pursuant to this Section 3.1.

3.2Board.

The Board from time to time may exercise any or all of the powers and
authorities related to the administration and implementation of the Plan, as set
forth in Section 3.1 and other applicable provisions of the Plan, as the Board

the consent of the Grantee thereof, materially impair the Grantee’s rights under
such Award; and

3.4Forfeiture; Recoupment

.

(a)The Committee may reserve the right in an Award Agreement to cause a

was grossly negligent in engaging in such misconduct, knowingly failed to
prevent such misconduct or was grossly negligent in failing to prevent such
misconduct, shall reimburse the Company the amount of any payment in settlement
of such Award earned or accrued during the period of twelve (12) months

Agreement, if the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement, then
Grantees shall forfeit any cash or Stock received in connection with an Award

delivery thereof to the Grantee if the Grantee no longer holds the shares of
Stock) if pursuant to the terms of the Award Agreement for such Award, the
amount of the Award earned or the vesting in the Award was expressly based on
the achievement of pre-established performance goals set forth in the Award
Agreement (including earnings, gains, or other performance goals) that are later
determined, as a result of the accounting restatement, not to have been
achieved.

shareholders, or (ii) is an appropriate adjustment pursuant Section 17.

Award into a deferred compensation arrangement, subject to such rules and
procedures as it may establish, which may include provisions for the payment or

determination made in good faith with respect to the Plan, any Award, or any
Award Agreement.  Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary,
neither the Company, an Affiliate, the Board, the Committee, nor any person
acting on behalf of the Company, an Affiliate, the Board, or the Committee will
be liable to any Grantee or to the estate or beneficiary of any Grantee or to
any other holder of an Award under the Plan by reason of

penalties), asserted by reason of the failure of an Award to satisfy the
requirements of Code Section 422 or Code Section 409A or by reason of Code
Section 4999, or otherwise asserted with respect to the Award; provided, that
this Section 3.7 shall not affect any of the rights or obligations set forth in

shares of Stock available for awards under the Prior Plan as of the Original
Effective Date, plus (iii) the number of shares of Stock subject to awards

involving the Company or a Subsidiary to which Code Section 424(a) applies, the
Committee shall have the right to cause the Company to assume awards previously
granted under a compensatory plan by another business entity that is a party to
such transaction and to grant Substitute Awards under the Plan therefor.  The
Share Limit shall not be increased by the number of shares of Stock subject to
any such assumed awards and Substitute Awards.  Shares available for issuance
under a shareholder-approved plan of a business entity that is a party to such
transaction (as appropriately adjusted to reflect such transaction) may be used

to settle such SARs upon exercise.  With respect to Performance Awards and
Annual Incentive Awards, a number of shares of Stock at least equal to the
target number of shares issuable under such Award, and with giving effect to the
share counting rules set forth in this section, shall be counted against the
Share Limit as of the Grant Date, but such number shall be adjusted to equal the
actual number of shares issued, with giving effect to the share counting rules
set forth in this section, upon settlement of the Performance Awards and Annual
Incentive Awards, to the extent different from such number of shares.

Award.  The effectiveness of any amendment to the Plan shall be contingent on
approval of such amendment by the Company’s shareholders to the extent provided
by the Board or required by Applicable Laws (including the rules of any Stock
Exchange or Securities Market on which the Stock is then listed or publicly
traded), provided that no amendment shall be made to the no-repricing provisions
of Section 3.5, the Option Price provisions of Section 8.1, or the SAR Exercise

to time determine. Award Agreements employed under the Plan from time to time or

with the terms of the Plan. Each Award Agreement evidencing an Award of Options

13

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

provisions of the Plan shall control.

8.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF OPTIONS

8.4Termination of Service.

Each Award Agreement with respect to the grant of an Option shall set forth the
extent to which the Grantee thereof, if at all, shall have the right to exercise
such Option following termination of such Grantee’s Service. Such provisions
shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Committee, need not be uniform
among all Options issued pursuant to the Plan, and may reflect distinctions
based on the reasons for termination of Service.

8.5Limitations on Exercise of Option.

Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, in no event may any Option be
exercised, in whole or in part, prior to the date on which the Plan is approved
by the shareholders of the Company as provided

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

herein or after the occurrence of an event referred to in Section 17 which
results in the termination of such Option.

8.6Method of Exercise.

Subject to the terms of Sections 12 and 18.3, an Option that is exercisable may
be exercised by the Grantee’s delivery to the Company or its designee or agent
of notice of exercise on any business day, at the Company’s principal office or
the office of such designee or agent, on the form specified by the Company and
in accordance with any additional procedures specified by the Committee. Such
notice shall specify the number of shares of Stock with respect to which such
Option is being exercised and shall be accompanied by payment in full of the
Option Price of the shares of Stock for which such Option is being exercised,
plus the amount (if any) of federal and/or other taxes which the Company may, in
its judgment, be required to withhold with respect to the exercise of such
Option.

8.7Rights of Holders of Options.

A Grantee or other person holding or exercising an Option shall have none of the
rights of a shareholder of the Company (for example, the right to receive cash
or dividend payments or distributions attributable to the shares of Stock
subject to such Option, to direct the voting of the shares of Stock subject to
such Option, or to receive notice of any meeting of the Company’s shareholders)
until the shares of Stock subject thereto are fully paid and issued to such
Grantee or other person. Except as provided in Section 17, no adjustment shall
be made for dividends, distributions or other rights with respect to any shares
of Stock subject to an Option for which the record date is prior to the date of
issuance of such shares of Stock.

8.8Delivery of Stock.

Promptly after the exercise of an Option by a Grantee and the payment in full of
the Option Price with respect thereto, such Grantee shall be entitled to receive
such evidence of such Grantee’s ownership of the shares of Stock subject to such
Option as shall be consistent with Section 3.8.

8.9Transferability of Options.

Except as provided in Section 8.10, during the lifetime of a Grantee of an
Option, only such Grantee (or, in the event of such Grantee’s legal incapacity
or incompetency, such Grantee’s guardian or legal representative) may exercise
such Option.  Except as provided in Section 8.10, no Option shall be assignable
or transferable by the Grantee to whom it is granted, other than by will or the
laws of descent and distribution.

8.10Family Transfers.

If authorized in the applicable Award Agreement and by the Committee, in its
sole discretion, a Grantee may transfer, not for value, all or part of an Option
which is not an Incentive Stock Option to any Family Member. For the purpose of
this Section 8.10, a transfer “not for value” is a transfer which is (a) a gift,
(b) a transfer under a domestic relations order in settlement of marital
property rights, or (c) unless Applicable Laws do not permit such transfer, a
transfer to an entity in which more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting
interests are owned by Family Members (and/or the Grantee) in exchange for an
interest in such entity. Following a transfer under this Section 8.10, any such
Option shall continue to be subject to the same terms and conditions as were
applicable immediately prior to such transfer, and the shares of Stock acquired
pursuant to such Option shall be subject to the same restrictions with respect
to transfers of shares as would have applied to the Grantee thereof. Subsequent
transfers of transferred Options shall be prohibited except to Family Members of
the original Grantee in accordance with this Section 8.10 or by

15

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

will or the laws of descent and distribution. The provisions of Section 8.4
relating to termination of Service shall continue to be applied with respect to
the original Grantee of the Option, following which such Option shall be
exercisable by the transferee only to the extent, and for the periods specified,
in Section 8.4.

8.11Limitations on Incentive Stock Options.

An Option shall constitute an Incentive Stock Option only (a) if the Grantee of
such Option is an employee of the Company or any corporate Subsidiary, (b) to
the extent specifically provided in the related Award Agreement and (c) to the
extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined at the time such Option
is granted) of the shares of Stock with respect to which all Incentive Stock
Options held by such Grantee become exercisable for the first time during any
calendar year (under the Plan and all other plans of the Company and its
Affiliates) does not exceed one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000). Except to
the extent provided in the regulations under Code Section 422, this limitation
shall be applied by taking Options into account in the order in which they were
granted.

8.12Notice of Disqualifying Disposition.

If any Grantee shall make any disposition of shares of Stock issued pursuant to
the exercise of an Incentive Stock Option under the circumstances provided in
Code Section 421(b) (relating to certain disqualifying dispositions), such
Grantee shall notify the Company of such disposition immediately but in no event
later than ten (10) days thereafter.

9.

exercise thereof, the excess of (a) the Fair Market Value of one share of Stock
on the date of exercise over (b) the SAR Exercise Price as determined by the
Committee.  The Award Agreement for a SAR shall specify the SAR Exercise Price,
which shall be no less than the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the
Grant Date of such SAR. SARs may be granted in tandem with all or part of an
Option granted under the Plan or at any subsequent time during the term of such
Option, in combination with all or part of any other Award or without regard to
any Option or other Award; provided, that a SAR that is granted subsequent to
the Grant Date of a related Option must have a SAR Exercise Price that is no
less than the Fair Market Value of one share of Stock on the Grant Date of such
SAR.

9.2Other Terms.

Subject to Sections 6.4, 9.3 and 17.3, the Committee shall determine, on the
Grant Date or thereafter, the time or times at which and the circumstances under
which a SAR may be exercised in whole or in part (including based on achievement
of performance goals and/or future Service requirements), the time or times at
which SARs shall cease to be or become exercisable following termination of
Service or upon other conditions, the method of exercise, method of settlement,
form of consideration payable in settlement, method by or forms in which shares
of Stock shall be delivered or deemed to be delivered to Grantees, whether or
not a SAR shall be granted in tandem or in combination with any other Award, and
any and all other terms and conditions of any SAR; provided, that no SARs
relying on the five percent (5%) exception set forth in Section 6.4 shall be
granted to Grantees who are entitled to overtime under Applicable Laws that will
vest or be exercisable within a six (6)-month period starting on the Grant Date.

16

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

9.3Term.

Each SAR granted under the Plan shall terminate, and all rights thereunder shall
cease, on the day before the tenth (10th) anniversary of the Grant Date of such
SAR, or under such circumstances and on such date prior thereto as is set forth
in the Plan or as may be fixed by the Committee and stated in the Award
Agreement relating to such SAR.

9.4Rights of Holders of SARs

.

A Grantee or other person holding or exercising a SAR shall have none of the
rights of a shareholder of the Company (for example, the right to receive cash
or dividend payments or distributions attributable to the shares of Stock
underlying such SAR, to direct the voting of the shares of Stock underlying such
SAR, or to receive notice of any meeting of the Company’s shareholders) until
the shares of Stock underlying such SAR, if any, are issued to such Grantee or
other person.  Except as provided in Section 17, no adjustment shall be made for
dividends, distributions or other rights with respect to any shares of Stock
underlying a SAR for which the record date is prior to the date of issuance of
such shares of Stock, if any.

9.5Transferability of SARs.

Except as provided in Section 9.6, during the lifetime of a Grantee of a SAR,
only the Grantee (or, in the event of such Grantee’s legal incapacity or
incompetency, such Grantee’s guardian or legal representative) may exercise such
SAR. Except as provided in Section 9.6, no SAR shall be assignable or
transferable by the Grantee to whom it is granted, other than by will or the
laws of descent and distribution.

9.6Family Transfers.

If authorized in the applicable Award Agreement and by the Committee, in its
sole discretion, a Grantee may transfer, not for value, all or part of a SAR to
any Family Member. For the purpose of this Section 9.6, a transfer “not for
value” is a transfer which is (a) a gift, (b) a transfer under a domestic
relations order in settlement of marital property rights or (c) unless
Applicable Laws do not permit such transfers, a transfer to an entity in which
more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting interests are owned by Family
Members (and/or the Grantee) in exchange for an interest in such entity.
Following a transfer under this Section 9.6, any such SAR shall continue to be
subject to the same terms and conditions as were in effect immediately prior to
such transfer, and shares of Stock acquired pursuant to a SAR shall be subject
to the same restrictions on transfers of shares as would have applied to the
Grantee or such SAR. Subsequent transfers of transferred SARs shall be
prohibited except to Family Members of the original Grantee in accordance with
this Section 9.6 or by will or the laws of descent and distribution.

10.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF RESTRICTED STOCK AND STOCK UNITS

10.1Grant of Restricted Stock or Stock Units.

Awards of Restricted Stock or Stock Units may be made for consideration or for
no consideration (other than the par value of the shares of Stock, which shall

Affiliate).

10.2Restrictions.

Subject to Sections 6.4 and 17.3, at the time a grant of Restricted Stock or
Stock Units is made, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, (a) establish a
period of time (a “restricted period”) applicable to such Restricted Stock or
Stock Units and (b) prescribe restrictions in addition to or other than the

17

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

or otherwise encumbered or disposed of during the restricted period or prior to
the satisfaction of any other restrictions prescribed by the Committee with
respect to such Awards.

10.3Restricted Stock Certificates; Book-Entry Registration.

Subject to Section 3.8 and the immediately following sentence, the Company may
issue, in the name of each Grantee to whom Restricted Stock has been granted,
stock certificates representing the total number of shares of Restricted Stock
granted to the Grantee, as soon as reasonably practicable after the Grant Date
of such Restricted Stock. The Committee may provide in an Award Agreement that
either (a) the Secretary of the Company shall hold such certificates for such
Grantee’s benefit until such time as such shares of Restricted Stock are
forfeited to the Company or the restrictions applicable thereto lapse and such
Grantee shall deliver a stock power to the Company with respect to each
certificate, or (b) such certificates shall be delivered to such Grantee,
provided, that such certificates shall bear legends that comply with applicable
securities laws and regulations and make appropriate reference to the
restrictions imposed on such Award of Restricted Stock under the Plan and such
Award Agreement.  Pursuant to Section 3.8, to the extent Restricted Stock is
represented by a book-entry, such book entry shall be notated to evidence the
restrictions imposed on such Award of Restricted Stock under the Plan and the
applicable Award Agreement.

10.4Rights of Holders of Restricted Stock.

Holders of Restricted Stock shall have the right to vote such shares of
Restricted Stock and the right to receive any dividends declared or paid with
respect to such shares of Restricted Stock.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, cash
dividends declared or paid on shares of Restricted Stock (i) shall not be paid
currently but instead shall be accrued, (ii) shall be subject to the same
vesting conditions and restrictions applicable to such underlying shares of
Restricted Stock, and (iii) shall not vest or become payable unless and until
the shares of Restricted Stock to which the dividends apply become vested and
nonforfeitable.  All stock distributions, if any, received by a Grantee with
respect to Restricted Stock as a result of any stock split, stock dividend,
combination of stock, or other similar transaction shall be subject to the same
vesting conditions and restrictions applicable to such underlying shares of
Restricted Stock.

10.5Rights of Holders of Stock Units.

10.5.1Voting and Dividend Rights.

Holders of Stock Units shall have no rights as shareholders of the Company (for
example, the right to receive cash or dividend payments or distributions
attributable to the shares of Stock subject to such Stock Units, to direct the
voting of the shares of Stock subject to such Stock Units, or to receive notice
of any meeting of the Company’s shareholders). Subject to the restrictions on
Dividend Equivalent Rights set forth in Section 13, the Committee may provide in
an Award Agreement evidencing a grant of Stock Units that the holder of such
Stock Units shall be entitled to receive Dividend Equivalent Rights.  

10.5.2Creditor’s Rights.

A holder of Stock Units shall have no rights other than those of a general
unsecured creditor of the Company. Stock Units represent an unfunded and
unsecured obligation of the Company, subject to the terms and conditions of the
applicable Award Agreement.

18

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

10.6Termination of Service.

Unless the Committee provides otherwise in an Award Agreement or in writing
after such Award Agreement is issued, but prior to termination of Grantee’s
Service, upon the termination of such Grantee’s Service, any Restricted Stock or
Stock Units held by such Grantee that have not vested, or with respect to which
all applicable restrictions and conditions have not lapsed, shall immediately be
deemed forfeited. Upon forfeiture of such Restricted Stock or Stock Units, the
Grantee thereof shall have no further rights with respect thereto, including any
right to vote such Restricted Stock or any right to receive dividends or
Dividend Equivalent Rights, as applicable, with respect to such Restricted Stock
or Stock Units.

10.7Purchase of Restricted Stock and Shares of Stock Subject to Stock Units.

The Grantee shall be required, to the extent required by Applicable Laws, to
purchase the Restricted Stock or shares of Stock subject to vested Stock Units
from the Company at a Purchase Price equal to the greater of (a) the aggregate
par value of the shares of Stock represented by such Restricted Stock or Stock
Units or (b) the Purchase Price, if any, specified in the Award Agreement
relating to such Restricted Stock or Stock Units.  The Purchase Price shall be
payable in a form provided in Section 12 or, in the sole discretion of the
Committee, in consideration for past or future Services rendered to the Company
or an Affiliate.

10.8Delivery of Shares of Stock.

Upon the expiration or termination of any restricted period and the satisfaction
of any other conditions prescribed by the Committee, the restrictions applicable
to Restricted Stock or Stock Units settled in shares of Stock shall lapse, and,
unless otherwise provided in the applicable Award Agreement, a book-entry or
direct registration or a stock certificate evidencing ownership of such shares
of Stock shall, consistent with Section 3.8, be issued, free of all such
restrictions, to the Grantee thereof or such Grantee’s beneficiary or estate, as
the case may be. Neither the Grantee, nor the Grantee’s beneficiary or estate,
shall have any further rights with regard to a Stock Unit once the shares of
Stock represented by the Stock Unit have been delivered in accordance with this
Section 10.8.

11.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF UNRESTRICTED STOCK AWARDS AND OTHER EQUITY- BASED AWARDS

(a)In each case subject to the five percent (5%) limit set forth in Section 6.4,
the Committee may, in its sole discretion, grant (or sell at the par value of a
share of Stock or at such other higher purchase price determined by the
Committee) an Award to any Grantee pursuant to which such Grantee may receive
shares of Stock free of any restrictions (“Unrestricted Stock”) under the
Plan.  Awards of Unrestricted Stock may be granted or sold to any Grantee as
provided in the immediately preceding sentence in respect of past or future
Service and other valid consideration, or in lieu of, or in addition to, any
cash compensation due to such Grantee.

(b)The Committee may, in its sole discretion, grant Awards in the form of Other
Equity-Based Awards, as deemed by the Committee to be consistent with the
purposes of the Plan. Subject to Section 6.4, Awards granted pursuant to this
Section 11(b) may be granted with vesting, value and/or payment contingent upon
the achievement of one or more performance goals.  The Committee shall determine
the terms and conditions of Other Equity-Based Awards at the Grant Date or
thereafter. Unless the Committee otherwise provides in an Award Agreement or in
writing after such Award Agreement is issued, upon the termination of a
Grantee’s Service, any Other Equity-Based Awards held by such Grantee that have
not vested, or with respect to which all applicable restrictions and conditions
have not lapsed,

19

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

shall immediately be deemed forfeited. Upon forfeiture of any Other Equity-Based
Award, the Grantee thereof shall have no further rights with respect to such
Other Equity-Based Award.

12.

Payment of the Option Price for the shares of Stock purchased pursuant to the
exercise of an Option or the Purchase Price for Restricted Stock or vested Stock
Units shall be made in cash or in cash equivalents acceptable to the Company.

12.2Surrender of Shares of Stock.

To the extent that the applicable Award Agreement so provides, payment of the

Option Price or Purchase Price has been paid thereby, at their Fair Market Value
on the date of such tender or attestation.

12.3Cashless Exercise.

With respect to an Option only (and not with respect to Restricted Stock or
Stock Units), to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws and to the extent the
Award Agreement so provides, payment of the Option Price for shares of Stock

delivery (on a form acceptable to the Committee) of an irrevocable direction to

and to deliver all or part of the proceeds of such sale to the Company in
payment of such Option Price and any withholding taxes described in
Section 18.3.

12.4Other Forms of Payment.

13.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF DIVIDEND EQUIVALENT RIGHTS

13.1Dividend Equivalent Rights.

A Dividend Equivalent Right is an Award entitling the recipient thereof to
receive credits based on cash distributions that would have been paid on the
shares of Stock specified in the Dividend Equivalent Right (or other Award to
which such Dividend Equivalent Right relates) if such shares of Stock had been
issued to and held by the recipient of such Dividend Equivalent Right as of the
record date (with or without being subject to forfeiture or a repayment
obligation). A Dividend Equivalent Right may be granted hereunder to any
Grantee, provided that no Dividend Equivalent Rights may be granted in
connection with, or related to, an Award of Options or SARs. Subject to this
Section 13, the terms and conditions of Dividend Equivalent Rights shall be
specified in the Award Agreement therefor.  Dividend equivalents credited to the
holder of a Dividend Equivalent Right may be paid currently (with or without
being subject to forfeiture or a repayment obligation) or may be deemed to be
reinvested in additional shares of Stock or Awards, which may thereafter accrue
additional Dividend Equivalent Rights. Any such reinvestment in additional

20

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

shares of Stock shall be at the Fair Market Value thereof on the date of such
reinvestment.  Dividend Equivalent Rights may be settled in cash or shares of
Stock or a combination thereof, in a single installment or in multiple
installments, all as determined in the sole discretion of the Committee.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Dividend Equivalent Right granted as a
component of another Award (i) shall not be paid currently but instead shall be
accrued, (ii) shall be subject to the same vesting conditions and restrictions
applicable to the Award to which the Dividend Equivalent Rights correspond, and
(iii) shall not vest or become payable unless and until the Award to which the
Dividend Equivalent Rights correspond becomes vested and settled.

13.2Termination of Service.

Unless the Committee otherwise provides in an Award Agreement or in writing
after such Award Agreement is issued, a Grantee’s rights in all Dividend
Equivalent Rights shall automatically terminate upon the Grantee’s termination
of Service for any reason.

14.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF PERFORMANCE AWARDS AND ANNUAL INCENTIVE AWARDS

14.1Grant of Performance Awards and Annual Incentive Awards.

Subject to the terms and provisions of the Plan, the Committee, at any time and
from time to time, may grant Performance Awards and/or Annual Incentive Awards
to a Grantee in such amounts and upon such terms as the Committee shall
determine.

14.2Value of Performance Awards and Annual Incentive Awards.

Each Performance Award and Annual Incentive Award shall have an initial cash
value or an actual or target number of shares of Stock that is established by
the Committee at the time of grant.  The Committee shall set performance goals
in its discretion which, depending on the extent to which they are achieved,
shall determine the value and/or the number shares of Stock subject to
Performance Awards and Annual Incentive Awards that will be paid out to the
Grantee thereof.

14.3Earning of Performance Awards and Annual Incentive Awards.

Subject to the terms of the Plan, after the applicable Performance Period has
ended, the Grantee of Performance Awards or Annual Incentive Awards shall be
entitled to receive a payout of the value and/or the number shares of Stock
subject to Performance Awards and Annual Incentive Awards earned by the Grantee
over such Performance Period.

14.4Form and Timing of Payment of Performance Awards and Annual Incentive
Awards.

Payment of earned Performance Awards and Annual Incentive Awards shall be made,
as determined by the Committee, in the form, at the time, and in the manner
described in the applicable Award Agreement.  Subject to the terms of the Plan,
the Committee, in its sole discretion, (a) may pay earned Performance Awards in
the form of cash, shares of Stock, other Awards, other property or a combination
thereof and (b) shall pay the value of the earned Performance Awards and Annual
Incentive Awards at the close of the applicable Performance Period, or as soon
as reasonably practicable after the Committee has determined that the
performance goal or goals have been achieved; provided that, unless specifically
provided in the Award Agreement for such Awards, such payment shall occur no
later than the fifteenth (15th) day of the third (3rd) month following the end
of the calendar year in which such Performance Period ends.  Any shares of Stock
paid out under such Awards may be granted subject to any restrictions deemed

21

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

appropriate by the Committee.  The determination of the Committee with respect
to the form of payout of such Awards shall be set forth in the Award Agreement
for the Awards.

14.5Performance Conditions.

The right of a Grantee to exercise or receive a grant or settlement of any
Performance Award or Annual Incentive Award, and the timing thereof, may be
subject to the achievement of such Performance Measures as may be specified by
the Committee. The Committee may use such business criteria and other measures
of performance as it may deem appropriate in establishing any performance
conditions.  Performance under any of the Performance Measures (i) may be used
to measure the performance of (A) the Company, its Subsidiaries and other
Affiliates as a whole, (B) the Company, any Subsidiary, and/or any other
Affiliate or any combination thereof, or (C) any one or more business units or
operating segments of the Company, any Subsidiary, and/or any other Affiliate,
in each case as the Committee, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate and
(ii) may be compared to the performance of one or more other companies, or one
or more published or special indices designated or approved by the Committee for
such comparison, as the Committee, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate. In
addition, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may select Performance Measure
specified in Section 2.31(e) for comparison to performance under one or more
stock market indices designated or approved by the Committee.  The Committee
also shall have the authority to provide for accelerated vesting of any
Performance Award or Annual Incentive Award based on the achievement of
performance goals pursuant to the Performance Measures specified in this
Section 14.  For the avoidance of doubt, nothing herein is intended to prevent
the Committee from granting Awards subject to subjective performance conditions
(including individual performance conditions); provided, that such Awards shall
not be considered Performance Awards under the Plan.

14.5.1Evaluation of Performance.

The Committee may provide in any Performance Award or Annual Incentive Award
that any evaluation of performance may include or exclude any of the following
events that occur during a Performance Period: (a) asset write-downs;
(b) litigation or claims, judgments or settlements; (c) the effect of changes in
tax laws, accounting principles, or other laws or provisions affecting reported
results; (d) any reorganization or restructuring events or programs;
(e) extraordinary, non-core, non-operating, or non-recurring items and items
that are either of an unusual nature or of a type that indicates infrequency of
occurrence as a separate component of income from continuing operations;
(f) acquisitions or divestitures; (g) foreign exchange gains and losses; (h)
impact of shares of Stock purchased through share repurchase programs; (i) tax
valuation allowance reversals; (j) impairment expense; and (k) environmental
expense.  

15.

PARACHUTE LIMITATIONS

If any Grantee is a “disqualified individual,” as defined in Code
Section 280G(c), then, notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or of any
other agreement, contract, or understanding heretofore or hereafter entered into
by such Grantee with the Company or an Affiliate, except an agreement, contract,
or understanding that expressly addresses Code Section 280G or Code Section 4999
(an “Other Agreement”), and notwithstanding any formal or informal plan or other
arrangement for the direct or indirect provision of compensation to the Grantee
(including groups or classes of Grantees or beneficiaries of which the Grantee
is a member), whether or not such compensation is deferred, is in cash, or is in
the form of a benefit to or for the Grantee (a “Benefit Arrangement”), any right
of the Grantee to any exercise, vesting, payment or benefit under the Plan shall
be reduced or eliminated:

(a)to the extent that such right to exercise, vesting, payment, or benefit,
taking into account all other rights, payments, or benefits to or for the
Grantee under the Plan, all Other Agreements, and all Benefit Arrangements,
would cause any exercise, vesting, payment, or benefit to the Grantee under

22

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

the Plan to be considered a “parachute payment” within the meaning of Code
Section 280G(b)(2) as then in effect (a “Parachute Payment”); and

(b)if, as a result of receiving such Parachute Payment, the aggregate after-tax
amounts received by the Grantee from the Company under the Plan, all Other
Agreements, and all Benefit Arrangements would be less than the maximum
after-tax amount that could be received by the Grantee without causing any such
payment or benefit to be considered a Parachute Payment.

Except as required by Code Section 409A or to the extent that Code Section 409A
permits discretion, the Committee shall have the right, in the Committee’s sole
discretion, to designate those rights, payments, or benefits under the Plan, all
Other Agreements, and all Benefit Arrangements that should be reduced or
eliminated so as to avoid having such rights, payments, or benefits be
considered a Parachute Payment; provided, however, to the extent any payment or
benefit constitutes deferred compensation under Code Section 409A, in order to
comply with Code Section 409A, the Company shall instead accomplish such
reduction by first reducing or eliminating any cash payments (with the payments
to be made furthest in the future being reduced first), then by reducing or
eliminating any accelerated vesting of Options or SARs, then by reducing or
eliminating any accelerated vesting of Restricted Stock or Stock Units, then by
reducing or eliminating any other remaining Parachute Payments.

16.

REQUIREMENTS OF LAW

16.1General.

The Company shall not be required to offer, sell or issue any shares of Stock
under any Award, whether pursuant to the exercise of an Option or SAR or
otherwise, if the offer, sale or issuance of such shares of Stock would
constitute a violation by the Grantee, the Company or an Affiliate, or any other
person of any provision of the Company’s articles of incorporation or bylaws or
of Applicable Laws, including any federal or state securities laws or
regulations. If at any time the Company shall determine, in its discretion, that
the listing, registration or qualification of any shares of Stock subject to an
Award upon any Stock Exchange or Securities Market or under any governmental
regulatory body is necessary or desirable as a condition of, or in connection
with, the offering, issuance, sale or purchase of shares of Stock in connection
with any Award, no shares of Stock may be offered, issued or sold to the Grantee
or any other person under such Award, whether pursuant to the exercise of an
Option or SAR or otherwise, unless such listing, registration or qualification
shall have been effected or obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to
the Company, and any delay caused thereby shall in no way affect the date of
termination of such Award.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
upon the exercise of any Option or any SAR that may be settled in shares of
Stock or the delivery of any shares of Stock underlying an Award, unless a
registration statement under the Securities Act is in effect with respect to the
shares of Stock subject to such Award, the Company shall not be required to
offer, sell or issue such shares of Stock unless the Committee shall have
received evidence satisfactory to it that the Grantee or any other person
exercising such Option or SAR or accepting delivery of such shares may acquire
such shares of Stock pursuant to an exemption from registration under the
Securities Act.  Any determination by the Committee in connection with the
foregoing shall be final, binding, and conclusive.  The Company may register,
but shall in no event be obligated to register, any shares of Stock or other
securities issuable pursuant to the Plan pursuant to the Securities Act.  The
Company shall not be obligated to take any affirmative action in order to cause
the exercise of an Option or a SAR or the issuance of shares of Stock or other
securities issuable pursuant to the Plan or any Award to comply with any
Applicable Laws. As to any jurisdiction that expressly imposes the requirement
that an Option or SAR that may be settled in shares of Stock shall not be
exercisable until the shares of Stock subject to such Option or SAR are
registered under the securities laws thereof or are exempt from such
registration, the exercise of such Option or SAR under circumstances in which
the laws

23

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

of such jurisdiction apply shall be deemed conditioned upon the effectiveness of
such registration or the availability of such an exemption.

16.2Rule 16b-3.

During any time when the Company has a class of equity security registered under
Section 12 of the Exchange Act, it is the intention of the Company that Awards
pursuant to the Plan and the exercise of Options and SARs granted hereunder that
would otherwise be subject to Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act shall qualify
for the exemption provided by Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act. To the extent
that any provision of the Plan or action by the Committee does not comply with
the requirements of such Rule 16b-3, such provision or action shall be deemed
inoperative with respect to such Awards to the extent permitted by Applicable
Laws and deemed advisable by the Committee, and shall not affect the validity of
the Plan.  In the event that such Rule 16b-3 is revised or replaced, the Board
may exercise its discretion to modify the Plan in any respect necessary or
advisable in its judgment to satisfy the requirements of, or to permit the
Company to avail itself of the benefits of, the revised exemption or its
replacement.

17.

EFFECT OF CHANGES IN CAPITALIZATION

17.1Changes in Stock.

If the number of outstanding shares of Stock is increased or decreased or the
shares of Stock are changed into or exchanged for a different number of shares
or kind of capital stock or other securities of the Company on account of any
recapitalization, reclassification, stock split, reverse stock split, spin-off,
combination of stock, exchange of stock, stock dividend or other distribution
payable in capital stock, or other increase or decrease in such shares of Stock
effected without receipt of consideration by the Company occurring after the
Effective Date, the number and kinds of shares of stock for which grants of
Options and other Awards may be made under the Plan, including the Share Limit
set forth in Section 4.1(a), the individual share limits set forth in
Section 6.2, and the five percent (5%) limit set forth in Section 6.4 shall be
adjusted proportionately and accordingly by the Committee. In addition, the
number and kind of shares of stock for which Awards are outstanding shall be
adjusted proportionately and accordingly by the Committee so that the
proportionate interest of the Grantee therein immediately following such event
shall, to the extent practicable, be the same as immediately before such event.
Any such adjustment in outstanding Options or SARs shall not change the
aggregate Option Price or SAR Exercise Price payable with respect to shares that
are subject to the unexercised portion of such outstanding Options or SARs, as
applicable, but shall include a corresponding proportionate adjustment in the
per share Option Price or SAR Exercise Price, as the case may be.  The
conversion of any convertible securities of the Company shall not be treated as
an increase in shares effected without receipt of consideration. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, in the event of any distribution to the Company’s shareholders of
securities of any other entity or other assets (including an extraordinary
dividend, but excluding a non-extraordinary dividend, declared and paid by the
Company) without receipt of consideration by the Company, the Committee shall,
in such manner as it deems appropriate, adjust (a) the number and kind of shares
of stock subject to outstanding Awards and/or (b) the aggregate and per share
Option Price of outstanding Options and the aggregate and per share SAR Exercise
Price of outstanding SARs as required to reflect such distribution.

17.2Reorganization in Which the Company Is the Surviving Entity Which Does not
Constitute a Corporate Transaction.

Subject to Section 17.3, if the Company shall be the surviving entity in any
reorganization, merger, or consolidation of the Company with one or more other
entities which does not constitute a Corporate Transaction, any Award
theretofore granted pursuant to the Plan shall pertain to and apply to the
securities to which a holder of the number of shares of Stock subject to such
Award would have been entitled

24

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

immediately following such reorganization, merger, or consolidation, with a
corresponding proportionate adjustment of the per share Option Price or SAR
Exercise Price, if applicable, so that the aggregate Option Price or SAR
Exercise Price thereafter shall be the same as the aggregate Option Price or SAR
Exercise Price of the shares of Stock remaining subject to the Option or SAR as
in effect immediately prior to such reorganization, merger, or
consolidation.  Subject to any contrary language in an Award Agreement, any
restrictions applicable to such Award shall apply as well to any replacement
shares received by the Grantee as a result of such reorganization, merger, or
consolidation.  In the event of any reorganization, merger, or consolidation of
the Company referred to in this Section 17.2, Performance Awards and Annual
Incentive Awards shall be adjusted (including any adjustment to performance
goals applicable to such Awards deemed appropriate by the Committee) so as to
apply to the securities that a holder of the number of shares of Stock subject
to the Performance Awards or Annual Incentive Awards would have been entitled to
receive immediately following such reorganization, merger, or consolidation.

17.3Corporate Transaction in which Awards are not Assumed.

Except as otherwise provided in the applicable Award Agreement or with respect
to Performance Awards and Annual Incentive Awards, in another agreement with the
Grantee, or as otherwise set forth in writing, upon the occurrence of a
Corporate Transaction in which outstanding Awards are not being assumed,
continued, or substituted for, the following provisions shall apply to such
Award, to the extent not assumed, continued, or substituted for:

(a)All Grantees of shares of Restricted Stock, Stock Units, and Dividend
Equivalent Rights shall become vested in their Awards as of immediately prior to
the occurrence of a Corporate Transaction and any shares of Stock or cash that
become vested pursuant to the operation of this Section 17.3(a) shall be
delivered, immediately prior to the occurrence of such Corporate Transaction;

(b)All Grantees of Options and SARs shall become immediately vested in their
Awards as of immediately prior to the occurrence of a Corporate Transaction; and

(c)Either or both of the following two actions may be taken:

(i)At least fifteen (15) days prior to the scheduled consummation of such a
Corporate Transaction, notice shall be given to all Grantees of vested Options
and SARs outstanding hereunder (including Options and SARs that become vested
pursuant to the operation of Section 17.3(b)) that such Options and SARs shall
remain exercisable for a period of fifteen (15) days and shall thereafter be
terminated.  With respect to the Company’s establishment of an exercise window,
(A) any exercise of an Option or SAR during the fifteen (15)-day period referred
to above shall be conditioned upon the consummation of the applicable Corporate
Transaction and shall be effective only immediately before the consummation
thereof, and (B) upon consummation of any Corporate Transaction, the Plan and
all outstanding but unexercised Options and SARs shall terminate. The Committee
shall send notice of an event that shall result in such a termination to all
natural persons and entities who hold Options and SARs not later than the time
at which the Company gives notice thereof to its shareholders.

and/or

(ii)The Committee may elect, in its sole discretion, to cancel any outstanding
Awards of Options, SARs, Restricted Stock, Stock Units, and/or Dividend
Equivalent Rights and pay or deliver, or cause to be paid or delivered, to the
holder thereof an amount in cash or securities having a value (as determined by
the Committee acting in good faith), in the case of Restricted Stock or Stock
Units, equal to the formula or fixed price per share paid to holders of shares
of Stock pursuant to such Corporate Transaction and, in the case of Options or
SARs, equal to the product of the number of shares of Stock

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

subject such Options or SARs multiplied by the amount, if any, by which (A) the
formula or fixed price per share paid to holders of shares of Stock pursuant to
such transaction exceeds (B) the Option Price or SAR Exercise Price applicable
to such Awards.

(d)For Performance Awards and Annual Incentive Awards denominated in Stock or
Stock Units, if less than half of the Performance Period has lapsed, such
Performance Awards and Annual Incentive Awards shall be converted into
Restricted Stock or Stock Units assuming target performance has been achieved
(or into Unrestricted Stock if no further restrictions apply).  If more than
half the Performance Period has lapsed, such Performance Awards and Annual
Incentive Awards shall be converted into Restricted Stock or Stock Units based
on actual performance to date (or into Unrestricted Stock if no further
restrictions apply).  If actual performance is not determinable, such
Performance Awards and Annual Incentive Awards shall be converted into
Restricted Stock or Stock Units assuming target performance has been achieved,
based on the discretion of the Committee (or into Unrestricted Stock if no
further restrictions apply).

(e)Other-Equity Based Awards shall be governed by the terms of the applicable
Award Agreement.

17.4Corporate Transaction in which Awards are Assumed.

Except as otherwise provided in the applicable Award Agreement, in another
agreement with the Grantee, or as otherwise set forth in writing, upon the
occurrence of a Corporate Transaction in which outstanding Awards are being
assumed, continued, or substituted for, the following provisions shall apply to
such Award, to the extent assumed, continued, or substituted for:

(a)The Plan and the Awards theretofore granted under the Plan shall continue in
the manner and under the terms so provided in the event of any Corporate
Transaction to the extent that provision is made in writing in connection with
such Corporate Transaction for the assumption or continuation of such Awards, or
for the substitution for such Awards of new common stock options, stock
appreciation rights, restricted stock, common stock units, dividend equivalent
rights and other equity-based awards relating to the stock of a successor
entity, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, with appropriate adjustments as to
the number of shares (disregarding any consideration that is not common stock)
and option and stock appreciation rights exercise prices.

(b)In the event an Award is assumed, continued or substituted upon the
consummation of any Corporate Transaction and the employment of such Grantee
with the Company or an Affiliate is terminated without Cause within one year
following the consummation of such Corporate Transaction, such Award shall be
fully vested and may be exercised in full, to the extent applicable, beginning
on the date of such termination and for the one-year period immediately
following such termination or for such longer period as the Committee shall
determine.

17.5Adjustments

Adjustments under this Section 17 related to shares of Stock or securities of
the Company shall be made by the Committee, whose determination in that respect
shall be final, binding and conclusive. No fractional shares or other securities
shall be issued pursuant to any such adjustment, and any fractions resulting
from any such adjustment shall be eliminated in each case by rounding downward
to the nearest whole share.  The Committee may provide in the applicable Award
Agreements at the time of grant, or any time thereafter with the consent of the
Grantee, for different provisions to apply to an Award in place of those
provided in Sections 17.1, 17.2, 17.3 and 17.4.  This Section 17 shall not limit
the Company’s ability

26

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

to provide for alternative treatment of Awards outstanding under the Plan in the
event of change in control events that are not Corporate Transactions.

17.6No Limitations on Company.

The making of Awards pursuant to the Plan shall not affect or limit in any way
the right or power of the Company to make adjustments, reclassifications,
reorganizations, or changes of its capital or business structure or to merge,
consolidate, dissolve, or liquidate, or to sell or transfer all or any part of
its business or assets (including all or any part of the business or assets of
any Subsidiary or other Affiliate) or to engage in any other transaction or
activity.

18.

GENERAL PROVISIONS

18.1Disclaimer of Rights.

No provision in the Plan or in any Award or Award Agreement shall be construed
to confer upon any individual the right to remain in the employ or Service of
the Company or an Affiliate, or to interfere in any way with any contractual or
other right or authority of the Company or an Affiliate either to increase or
decrease the compensation or other payments to any natural person or entity at
any time, or to terminate any employment or other relationship between any
natural person or entity and the Company or an Affiliate.  In addition,
notwithstanding anything contained in the Plan to the contrary, unless otherwise
stated in the applicable Award Agreement, no Award granted under the Plan shall
be affected by any change of duties or position of the Grantee thereof, so long
as such Grantee continues to provide Service. The obligation of the Company to
pay any benefits pursuant to the Plan shall be interpreted as a contractual
obligation to pay only those amounts provided herein, in the manner and under
the conditions prescribed herein.  The Plan and Awards shall in no way be
interpreted to require the Company to transfer any amounts to a third party
trustee or otherwise hold any amounts in trust or escrow for payment to any
Grantee or beneficiary under the terms of the Plan.

18.2Nonexclusivity of the Plan.

Neither the adoption of the Plan nor the submission of the Plan to the
shareholders of the Company for approval shall be construed as creating any
limitations upon the right and authority of the Board or the Committee to adopt
such other incentive compensation arrangements (which arrangements may be
applicable either generally to a class or classes of individuals or specifically
to a particular individual or particular individuals) as the Board or the
Committee, in its discretion, determines desirable.

18.3Withholding Taxes.

(a)The Company or an Affiliate, as the case may be, shall have the right to
deduct from payments of any kind otherwise due to a Grantee any federal, state,
or local taxes of any kind required by Applicable Laws to be withheld with
respect to the vesting of or other lapse of restrictions applicable to an Award
or upon the issuance of any shares of Stock upon the exercise of an Option or
pursuant to any other Award. At the time of such vesting, lapse, or exercise,
the Grantee shall pay in cash to the Company or an Affiliate, as the case may
be, any amount that the Company or such Affiliate may reasonably determine to be
necessary to satisfy such withholding obligation; provided, however, that if
there is a same day sale of shares of Stock subject to an Award, the Grantee
shall pay such withholding obligation on the day on which the same-day sale is
completed. Subject to the prior approval of the Company or an Affiliate, which
may be withheld by the Company or such Affiliate, as the case may be, in its
sole discretion, the Grantee may elect to satisfy such withholding obligation,
in whole or in part, (a) by causing the Company or such Affiliate to withhold
shares of Stock otherwise issuable to the Grantee or (b) by delivering to the

27

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Company or such Affiliate shares of Stock already owned by the Grantee.  The
shares of Stock so withheld or delivered shall have an aggregate Fair Market
Value equal to such withholding obligation. The Fair Market Value of the shares
of Stock used to satisfy such withholding obligation shall be determined by the
Company or such Affiliate as of the date on which the amount of tax to be
withheld is to be determined.  A Grantee who has made an election pursuant to
this Section 18.3 may satisfy such Grantee’s withholding obligation only with
shares of Stock that are not subject to any repurchase, forfeiture, unfulfilled
vesting, or other similar requirements.

(b)The maximum number of shares of Stock that may be withheld from any Award to
satisfy any federal, state, or local tax withholding requirements upon the
exercise, vesting, or lapse of restrictions applicable to any Award or payment
of shares of Stock pursuant to such Award, as applicable, may not exceed such
number of shares of Stock having a Fair Market Value equal to the minimum
statutory amount required by the Company or the applicable Affiliate to be
withheld and paid to any such federal, state, or local taxing authority with
respect to such exercise, vesting, lapse of restrictions, or payment of shares
of Stock; provided, however, for so long as Accounting Standards Update 2016-09
or a similar rule remains in effect, the Board or the Committee has full
discretion to choose, or to allow a Grantee to elect, to withhold a number of
shares of Stock having an aggregate Fair Market Value that is greater than the
applicable minimum required statutory withholding obligation (but such
withholding may in no event be in excess of the maximum required statutory
withholding amount(s) in such Grantee’s relevant tax jurisdiction).

(c)Notwithstanding Section 2.17 or this Section 18.3, for purposes of
determining taxable income and the amount of the related tax withholding
obligation pursuant to this Section 18.3, the Fair Market Value will be
determined by the Committee in good faith using any reasonable method as it
deems appropriate, to be applied consistently with respect to Grantees;
provided, further, that the Committee shall determine the Fair Market Value of
shares of Stock for tax withholding obligations due in connection with sales, by
or on behalf of a Grantee, of such shares of Stock subject to an Award to pay
the Option Price, SAR Exercise Price, and/or any tax withholding obligation on
the same date on which such shares may first be sold pursuant to the terms of
the applicable Award Agreement (including broker-assisted cashless exercises of
Options and Stock Appreciation Rights and sell-to-cover transactions) in any
manner consistent with applicable provisions of the Code, including but not
limited to using the sale price of such shares on such date (or if sales of such
shares are effectuated at more than one sale price, the weighted average sale
price of such shares on such date) as the Fair Market Value of such shares, so
long as such Grantee has provided the Company, or its designee or agent, with
advance written notice of such sale.

18.4Captions.

The use of captions in the Plan or any Award Agreement is for the convenience of
reference only and shall not affect the meaning of any provision of the Plan or
such Award Agreement.

18.5Other Provisions.

Each Award granted under the Plan may contain such other terms and conditions
not inconsistent with the Plan as may be determined by the Committee, in its
sole discretion.

18.6Number and Gender.

With respect to words used in the Plan, the singular form shall include the
plural form, and the masculine gender shall include the feminine gender, as the
context requires.

28

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

18.7Severability.

If any provision of the Plan or any Award Agreement shall be determined to be
illegal or unenforceable by any court of law in any jurisdiction, the remaining
provisions hereof and thereof shall be severable and enforceable in accordance
with their terms, and all provisions shall remain enforceable in any other
jurisdiction.

18.8Governing Law

The validity and construction of the Plan and the instruments evidencing the
Awards hereunder shall be governed by, and construed and interpreted in
accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, other than any conflicts or
choice of law rule or principle that might otherwise refer construction or
interpretation of the Plan and the instruments evidencing the Awards granted
hereunder to the substantive laws of any other jurisdiction.

18.9Foreign Jurisdictions

.

To the extent the Committee determines that the terms set by the Committee
imposed by the Plan preclude the achievement of the purposes of the Plan in
jurisdictions outside the United States, the Committee will have the authority
and discretion to modify those terms and provide for such additional terms and
conditions as the Committee determines to be necessary, appropriate, or
desirable to accommodate differences in local law, policy, or custom or to
facilitate administration of the Plan.  The Committee may adopt or approve
sub-plans, appendices, or supplements to, or amendments, restatements, or
alternative versions of the Plan as in effect for any other purposes.  The
special terms and any sub-plans, appendices, supplements, amendments,
restatements, or alternative versions, however, shall not include any provisions
that are inconsistent with the terms of the Plan as in effect, unless the Plan
could have been amended to eliminate such inconsistency without further approval
by the Company’s shareholders.

18.10Section 409A of the Code.

The Plan is intended to comply with Code Section 409A to the extent subject
thereto, and, accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, the Plan will be
interpreted and administered to be in compliance with Code Section 409A.  Any
payments described in the Plan that are due within the “short-term deferral
period” within the meaning of Code Section 409A will not be treated as deferred
compensation unless Applicable Laws require otherwise. Notwithstanding any
provision of the Plan to the contrary, to the extent required to avoid
accelerated taxation and tax penalties under Code Section 409A, amounts that
would otherwise be payable and benefits that would otherwise be provided
pursuant to the Plan during the six (6)-month period immediately following the
Grantee’s “separation from service” within the meaning of Code Section 409A will
instead be paid on the first payroll date after the six (6)-month anniversary of
the Grantee’s Separation from Service (or the Grantee’s death, if earlier).

Furthermore, notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, in the case
of an Award that is characterized as deferred compensation under Code Section
409A, and pursuant to which settlement and delivery of the cash or shares of
Stock subject to the Award is triggered based on a Corporate Transaction, in no
event will a Corporate Transaction be deemed to have occurred for purposes of
such settlement and delivery of cash or shares of Stock if the transaction is
not also a “change in the ownership or effective control of” the Company or “a
change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of” the Company
as determined under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(5) (without regard
to any alternative definition thereunder).  If an Award characterized as
deferred compensation under Code Section 409A is not settled and delivered on
account of the provision of the preceding sentence, the settlement and delivery
shall occur on the next succeeding settlement and delivery triggering event that
is a permissible

29

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

triggering event under Code Section 409A.  No provision of this paragraph shall
in any way affect the determination of a Corporate Transaction for purposes of
vesting in an Award that is characterized as deferred compensation under Code
Section 409A.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Company nor the Committee will have
any obligation to take any action to prevent the assessment of any excise tax or
penalty on any Grantee under Code Section 409A, and neither the Company or an
Affiliate nor the Board or the Committee will have any liability to any Grantee
for such tax or penalty.

To the extent that the Company determines that a Grantee would be subject to the
additional twenty percent (20%) tax imposed on certain nonqualified deferred
compensation plans pursuant to Code Section 409A as a result of any provision of
any Award granted under the Plan, such provision shall be deemed amended to the
minimum extent necessary to avoid application of such additional tax.  The
nature of any such amendment shall be determined by the Committee.

18.11Non-Payment of Dividends or Dividend Equivalent Rights on Unvested Awards

For the avoidance of doubt, and notwithstanding anything in the Plan or any
Award Agreement to the contrary, no dividends or Dividend Equivalent Rights
shall be paid on any unvested Award and any dividends or Dividend Equivalent
Rights granted in respect to any Award shall be paid at the time, if at all,
that the Award to which it relates becomes vested.
