INCENTIVE AWARD

level of the Company over the Performance Period according to the following
schedule:

            .25xTarget





For
purposes of the above schedule, “Cumulative Revenue” means the Company’s
cumulative revenue for the Performance Period determined from the Company’s
audited financial statements.  No cumulative revenue cash award is
payable if the Cumulative Revenue is less than the Threshold Level.




* Cash
award payable will be determined by linear interpolation for Cumulative Revenue
between (revenue level associated with target) and (revenue level associated
with maximum) or between (revenue level associated with threshold) and (revenue
level associated with target).

4.2           Amount of Cumulative
Earnings Per Share Award.  The cumulative earnings per share
award payable at the end of the Performance Period shall be determined based
upon the performance level of the Company over the Performance Period according
to the following schedule:





Performance Level
              of the Company
            Cumulative

            .25xTarget





For
purposes of the above schedule, “Cumulative Earnings Per Share” means the
Company’s earnings per share determined on a fully diluted basis for the
Performance Period and determined from the Company’s audited financial
statements.  No cumulative earnings per share award is payable if the
Cumulative Earnings Per Share is less than the Threshold Level.





**  Cash
award payable will be determined by linear interpolation for Cumulative Earnings
Per Share between (EPS level associated with target) and (EPS level associated
with maximum) or between (EPS level associated with threshold) and (EPS level
associated with target).





4.3           Determination of
“Target.”  For purposes of calculating the award amount under
Sections 4.1 and 4.2, “Target” shall be determined by the Board for each
Participant; provided that, in the case of the employees who are Participants as
of the Effective Date, the Targets are set forth on Exhibit
A.





4.4           Additional
Participants.  If employees other than those listed on Exhibit A hereto
become Participants in the Plan, the Board will determine whether any form of
proration will apply to determine his or her Cash Incentive Award.





4.5           Payment of Cash Incentive
Award.  The Committee shall certify the cumulative revenue and
earnings per share results before any Cash Incentive Award is
paid.  Except as provided in Sections 5.1 and 5.2, the Cash Incentive
Award will be earned and accrued and payable if the Participant is an employee
of the Company or an Affiliate on the last day of the Performance Period,
regardless of whether the Participant ceases to be an employee of the Company or
an Affiliate before the payment date for any reason whatsoever, including
without limitation, a termination by the Company for Cause or resignation by the
Participant.  Except as provided in Sections 5.1 and 5.2, any Cash
Incentive Award earned by a Participant over the Performance Period shall be
paid in cash in the year following the end of the Performance Period, but in no
event after the 15th day of
the third month of such year.

V.   TERMINATION
OF EMPLOYMENT





5.1           Termination of
Employment.  If the Company or an Affiliate terminates the
Participant’s employment for Cause or the Participant resigns his employment
with the Company or an Affiliate before the last day of the Performance Period,
the Participant shall not receive the Cash Incentive Award.  If,
before the last day of the Performance Period, the Company or an Affiliate
terminates the Participant’s employment without Cause, or the Participant dies
while employed by the Company or an Affiliate or suffers a Disability while
employed by the Company or an Affiliate (each, a “Payment Event”), the amount of
the Cash Incentive Award will be determined as of the end of the year in which
the Payment Event occurs based on the following methodology unless otherwise
determined by the Board of Directors of the Company (or a committee
thereof):  Notwithstanding Sections 4.1 and 4.2, Cumulative Revenue
and Cumulative Earnings Per Share for the Performance Period will be projected
by assuming that cumulative revenue and cumulative earnings per share for the
period from the beginning of the Performance Period through the end of the year
in which the Payment Event occurs continues at the same average rate through the
end of the Performance Period.  (For example, if a Participant dies in
2008 and cumulative revenue from January 1, 2007 through December 31, 2008, is
$50, Cumulative Revenue for the Performance Period will be projected to be $75,
unless otherwise determined by the Board of Directors of the Company (or a
committee thereof).)  The amount of the Cash Incentive Award to which
the Participant is entitled shall be prorated in the same proportion that the
number of days elapsed from the beginning of the Performance Period through the
date the Participant ceases to be an employee of the Company or an Affiliate
bears to the total number of days in the Performance Period.  The
amount of the Cash Incentive Award to which the Participant is entitled shall be
paid in cash in the year following the year in which such Payment Event occurs,
but in no event later than the 15th day of
the third month of such year.





5.2           Change in
Control.  If a Change in Control occurs during the Performance
Period while the Participant is an employee of the Company or an Affiliate, the
Participant shall be paid on the date of the Change in Control the full value of
the Cash Incentive Award determined as if the Company had performed at the
Target Performance Level for the duration of the Performance Period and the
Participant had remained employed for the duration of the Performance
Period.





VI.   MISCELLANEOUS





6.1           Taxes.  The
Company shall withhold the amount of taxes, which in the determination of the
Company are required to be withheld under federal, state and local laws and all
other applicable payroll withholding with respect to any amount payable under
the Plan.





6.2           No Right to Continued
Employment.  Neither the establishment of the Plan, nor the
participation in the Plan or any payment thereunder shall be deemed to
constitute an express or implied contract of employment of any Participant for
any period of time or in any way abridge the rights of the Company or an
Affiliate to determine the terms and conditions of employment or to terminate
the employment of any Participant with or without Cause at any
time.




6





6.3           Choice of
Law.  The laws of the State of Delaware shall govern the Plan,
to the extent not preempted by federal law, without reference to the principles
of conflict of laws.
