Plan and the agreements evidencing Awards granted under the Plan have
lapsed.  However, all Awards shall be granted, if at all, within ten

    (j) to

Without the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the shares of
Stock cast in person or by proxy at a meeting of the shareholders of the Company
at which a quorum representing a majority of all outstanding shares of Stock is
present or represented by proxy, the Board shall not approve a program providing
for either (a) the cancellation of outstanding Options or SARs and the
grant in substitution therefore of new Options or SARs having a lower exercise
price or (b) the amendment of outstanding Options or SARs to reduce the
exercise price thereof.  This paragraph shall not be construed to
apply to

     


    
      
         


      

      
        9

        
          

        

      

      
         


      

    


    “issuing
or assuming a stock option in a transaction to which section 424(a) applies,”

    3.7 Indemnification.  In
addition to such other rights of indemnification as they may have as members of
the Board or the Committee or as officers or employees of the Participating
Company Group, members of the Board or the Committee and any officers or
employees of the Participating Company Group to whom authority to act for the
Board, the Committee or the Company is delegated shall be indemnified by the
Company against all reasonable expenses, including attorneys’ fees, actually and
necessarily incurred in connection with the defense of any action, suit or
proceeding, or in connection with any appeal therein, to which they or any of
them may be a party by reason of any action taken or failure to act under or in
connection with the Plan, or any right granted hereunder, and against all
amounts paid by them in settlement thereof (provided such settlement is approved
by independent legal counsel selected by the Company) or paid by them in
satisfaction of a judgment in any such action, suit or proceeding, except in
relation to matters as to which it shall be adjudged in such action, suit or
proceeding that such person is liable for gross negligence, bad faith or
intentional misconduct in duties; provided, however, that within sixty (60) days
after the institution of such action, suit or proceeding, such person shall
offer to the Company, in writing, the opportunity at its own expense to handle
and defend the same.

     

    4. Shares Subject to
Plan.

     

    4.1 Maximum Number of Shares
Issuable.  Subject to adjustment as provided in
Section 4.2 and subject to Section 409A of the Code, the maximum aggregate
number of shares of Stock that may be issued under the Plan shall be twelve
million (12,000,000) and shall consist of authorized but unissued or reacquired
shares of Stock or any combination thereof.  If an outstanding Award
for any reason expires or is terminated or canceled without having been
exercised or settled in full, or if shares of Stock acquired pursuant to an
Award subject to forfeiture or repurchase are forfeited or repurchased by the
Company, the shares of Stock allocable to the terminated portion of such Award
or such forfeited or repurchased shares of Stock shall again be available for
issuance under the Plan.  Shares of Stock shall not be deemed to have
been issued pursuant to the Plan (a) with respect to any portion of an
Award that is settled in cash or (b) to the extent such shares are withheld
or reacquired by the Company in satisfaction of tax withholding obligations
pursuant to Section 16.2.  Upon payment in shares of Stock
pursuant to the exercise of an SAR, the number of shares available for issuance
under the Plan shall be reduced only by the number of shares actually issued in
such payment.  If the exercise price of an Option is paid by tender to
the Company, or attestation to the ownership, of shares of Stock owned by the
Participant, or by means of a Net-Exercise, the number of shares available for
issuance under the Plan shall be reduced only by the net number of shares for
which the Option is exercised.

     

    4.2 Adjustments for Changes in Capital
Structure.  Subject
to any required action by the shareholders of the Company, in the event of any
change in the Stock effected without receipt of consideration by the Company,
whether through merger, consolidation, reorganization, reincorporation,
recapitalization, reclassification, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock
split, split-up, split-off, spin-off, combination of shares, exchange of shares,
or similar change in the capital structure of the Company, or in the event of
payment of a dividend or distribution to the

     


    
      
         


      

      
        10

        
          

        

      

      
         


      

    


    shareholders
of the Company in a form other than Stock (excepting normal cash dividends) that
has a material effect on the Fair Market Value of shares of Stock, appropriate
adjustments shall be made in the number and kind of shares subject to the Plan
and to any outstanding Awards, in the Award limits set forth in Section
5.4, in the Nonemployee Director
Awards to be granted automatically pursuant to Section 7, and in the
exercise or purchase price per share under any outstanding Award in order to
prevent dilution or enlargement of Participants’ rights under the
Plan.  For purposes of the foregoing, conversion of any convertible
securities of the Company shall not be treated as “effected without receipt of
consideration by the Company.”  Any fractional share resulting from an
adjustment pursuant to this Section 4.2 shall be rounded down to the
nearest whole number.  The Committee in its sole discretion, may also
make such adjustments in the terms of any Award to reflect, or related to, such
changes in the capital structure of the Company or distributions as it deems
appropriate, including modification of Performance Goals, Performance Award
Formulas and Performance Periods.  The adjustments determined by the
Committee pursuant to this Section 4.2 shall be final, binding and
conclusive.

     

    5. Eligibility and Award
Limitations.

     

    5.1 Persons Eligible for
Awards.  Awards may be granted only to Employees, Consultants
and Directors.  For purposes of the foregoing sentence, “Employees,”
“Consultants”and “Directors” shall include prospective Employees, prospective
Consultants and prospective Directors to whom Awards are granted in connection
with written offers of an employment or other service relationship with the
Participating Company Group; provided, however, that no Stock subject to any
such Award shall vest, become exercisable or be issued prior to the date on
which such person commences Service.  A Nonemployee Director Award may
be granted only to a person who, at the time of grant, is a Nonemployee
Director.

     

    5.2 Participation.  Awards
other than Nonemployee Director
Awards are granted solely at the discretion of the
Committee.  Eligible persons may be granted more than one
Award.  However,
excepting Nonemployee Director Awards, eligibility in accordance with
this Section shall not entitle any person to be granted an Award, or, having
been granted an Award, to be granted an additional Award.

     

    5.3 Incentive
Stock Option Limitations.

     

    (a) Persons
Eligible.  An Incentive Stock Option may be granted only to a
person who, on the effective date of grant, is an Employee of the Company, a
Parent Corporation or a Subsidiary Corporation (each being an “ISO-Qualifying
Corporation”).  Any person who
is not an Employee of an ISO-Qualifying Corporation on the effective date of the
grant of an Option to such person may be granted only a Nonstatutory Stock
Option.  An Incentive Stock Option granted to a prospective Employee
upon the condition that such person become an Employee of an ISO-Qualifying
Corporation shall be deemed granted effective on the date such person commences
Service with an ISO-Qualifying Corporation, with an exercise price determined as
of such date in accordance with Section 6.1.

     

    (b) Fair Market Value
Limitation.  To the extent that options designated as Incentive
Stock Options (granted under all stock option plans of the Participating Company
Group, including the Plan) become exercisable by a Participant for the first
time during any

     


    
      
         


      

      
        11

        
          

        

      

      
         


      

    


    calendar
year for stock having a Fair Market Value greater than One Hundred Thousand
Dollars ($100,000), the portion of such options which exceeds such amount shall
be treated as Nonstatutory Stock Options.  For purposes of this
Section, options designated as Incentive Stock Options shall be taken into
account in the order in which they were granted, and the Fair Market Value of
stock shall be determined as of the time the option with respect to such stock
is granted.  If the Code is amended to provide for a limitation
different from that set forth in this Section, such different limitation shall
be deemed incorporated herein effective as of the date and with respect to such
Options as required or permitted by such amendment to the Code.  If an
Option is treated as an Incentive Stock Option in part and as a Nonstatutory
Stock Option in part by reason of the limitation set forth in this Section, the
Participant may designate which portion of such Option the Participant is
exercising.  In the absence of such designation, the Participant shall
be deemed to have exercised the Incentive Stock Option portion of the Option
first.  Upon exercise, shares issued pursuant to each such portion
shall be separately identified.

     

    5.4 Award
Limits.

     

    (a) Maximum Number of
Shares Issuable Pursuant to Incentive Stock Options.  Subject
to adjustment as provided in Section 4.2, the maximum aggregate number of
shares of Stock that may be issued under the Plan pursuant to the exercise of
Incentive Stock Options shall not exceed twelve million (12,000,000)
shares.  The maximum aggregate number of shares of Stock that may be
issued under the Plan pursuant to all Awards other than Incentive Stock Options
shall be the number of shares determined in accordance with Section 4.1,
subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4.2 and further subject to the
limitation set forth in Section 5.4(b) below.

     

    (b) Aggregate Limit
on Full Value Awards.  Subject to adjustment as provided in
Section 4.2, in no event shall more than twelve million (12,000,000) shares
in the aggregate be issued under the Plan pursuant to the exercise or settlement
of Restricted Stock Awards, Restricted Stock Unit Awards and Performance Awards
(“Full Value Awards”).  Except with respect to a maximum of five
percent (5%) of the shares of Stock authorized in this Section 5.4(b), any
Full Value Awards which vest on the basis of the Participant’s continued Service
shall not provide for vesting which is any more rapid than annual pro rata
vesting over a three (3) year period and any Full Value Awards which vest upon
the attainment of Performance Goals shall provide for a Performance Period of at
least twelve (12) months.

     

    (c) Section 162(m)
Award Limits.  The following limits shall apply to the grant of
any Award if, at the time of grant, the Company is a “publicly held corporation”
within the meaning of Section 162(m).

     

    (i) Options and
SARs.  Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4.2,
no Employee shall be granted within any fiscal year of the Company one or more
Options or Freestanding SARs which in the aggregate are for more than 400,000
shares of Stock reserved for issuance under the Plan.

     

    (ii) Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock
Unit Awards.  Subject to adjustment as provided in
Section 4.2, no Employee shall be granted within any fiscal year of the
Company one or more Restricted Stock Awards or Restricted Stock Unit Awards,
subject to

     


    
      
         


      

      
        12

        
          

        

      

      
         


      

    


    Vesting
Conditions based on the attainment of Performance Goals, for more than 400,000
shares of Stock reserved for issuance under the Plan.

     

    (iii) Performance
Awards.  Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4.2,
no Employee shall be granted (1) Performance Shares which could result in
such Employee receiving more than 400,000 shares of Stock reserved for issuance
under the Plan for each full fiscal year of the Company contained in the
Performance Period for such Award, or (2) Performance Units which could
result in such Employee receiving more than two million dollars ($2 million) for
each full fiscal year of the Company contained in the Performance Period for
such Award.  No Participant may be granted more than one Performance
Award for the same Performance Period.

     

    6. Terms
and Conditions of Options.

     

    Options
shall be evidenced by Award Agreements specifying the number of shares of Stock
covered thereby, in such form as the Committee shall from time to time
establish.  No Option or purported Option shall be a valid and binding
obligation of the Company unless evidenced by a fully executed Award
Agreement.  Award Agreements evidencing Options may incorporate all or
any of the terms of the Plan by reference and, except as otherwise set forth in
Section 7 with
respect to Nonemployee Director Options, shall comply with and be subject
to the following terms and conditions:

     

    6.1 Exercise Price.  The
exercise price for each Option shall be established in the discretion of the
Committee; provided, however, that (a) the exercise price per share shall be not
less than the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the effective date of
grant of the Option and (b) no Incentive Stock Option granted to a Ten
Percent Owner shall have an exercise price per share less than one hundred ten
percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the effective
date of grant of the Option.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Option
(whether an Incentive Stock Option or a Nonstatutory Stock Option) may be
granted with an exercise price lower than the minimum exercise price set forth
above if such Option is granted pursuant to an assumption or substitution for
another option in a manner qualifying under the provisions of
Section 424(a) of the Code.

     

    6.2 Exercisability and Term of
Options.  Options
shall be exercisable at such time or times, or upon such event or events, and
subject to such terms, conditions, performance criteria and restrictions as
shall be determined by the Committee and set forth in the Award Agreement
evidencing such Option; provided, however, that (a) no Option shall be
exercisable after the expiration of ten (10) years after the effective date of
grant of such Option, (b) no Incentive Stock Option granted to a Ten
Percent Owner shall be exercisable after the expiration of five (5) years after
the effective date of grant of such Option, and (c) no Option granted to a
prospective Employee, prospective Consultant or prospective Director may become
exercisable prior to the date on which such person commences
Service.  Subject to the foregoing, unless otherwise specified by the
Committee in the grant of an Option, any Option granted hereunder shall
terminate ten (10) years after the effective date of grant of the Option, unless
earlier terminated in accordance with its provisions.

    6.3 Payment
of Exercise Price.

     

    (a) Forms of
Consideration Authorized.  Except as otherwise provided below,
payment of the exercise price for the number of shares of Stock being purchased
pursuant to any Option shall be made (i) in cash, by check or in cash
equivalent, (ii) by tender to the Company, or attestation to the ownership,
of shares of Stock owned by the Participant having a Fair Market Value not less
than the exercise price, (iii) by delivery of a properly executed notice of
exercise together with irrevocable instructions to a broker providing for the
assignment to the Company of the proceeds of a sale or loan with respect to some
or all of the shares being acquired upon the exercise of the Option (including,
without limitation, through an exercise complying with the provisions of
Regulation T as promulgated from time to time by the Board of Governors of
the Federal Reserve System) (a “Cashless
Exercise”), (iv)
by delivery of a properly executed notice of exercise electing a Net-Exercise,
(v) by such other consideration as may be approved by the Committee from
time to time to the extent permitted by applicable law, or (vi) by any
combination thereof.  The Committee may at any time or from time to
time grant Options which do not permit all of the foregoing forms of
consideration to be used in payment of the exercise price or which otherwise
restrict one or more forms of consideration.

     

    (b) Limitations
on Forms of Consideration.

     

    (i) Tender of
Stock.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Option may not be
exercised by tender to the Company, or attestation to the ownership, of shares
of Stock to the extent such tender or attestation would constitute a violation
of the provisions of any law, regulation or agreement restricting the redemption
of the Company’s stock.

     

    (ii) Cashless
Exercise.  The Company reserves, at any and all times, the
right, in the Company’s sole and absolute discretion, to establish, decline to
approve or terminate any program or procedures for the exercise of Options by
means of a Cashless Exercise, including with respect to one or more Participants
specified by the Company notwithstanding that such program or procedures may be
available to other Participants.

     

    6.4 Effect
of Termination of Service.

     

    (a) Option
Exercisability.  Subject to
earlier termination of the Option as otherwise provided herein and unless
otherwise provided by the Committee, an Option shall be exercisable after a
Participant’s termination of Service only during the applicable time periods
provided in the Award Agreement.

     

    (b) Extension if
Exercise Prevented by Law.  Notwithstanding
the foregoing, unless the Committee provides otherwise in the Award Agreement,
if the exercise of an Option within the applicable time periods is prevented by
the provisions of Section 14.1 below, the Option shall remain exercisable
until three (3) months (or such longer period of time as determined by the
Committee, in its discretion) after the date the Participant is notified by the
Company that the Option is exercisable, but in any event no later than the
Option Expiration Date.

     

    (c) Extension if
Participant Subject to Section 16(b).  Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if a sale within the applicable time periods of shares acquired
upon the exercise of the

     


    
      
         


      

      
        14

        
          

        

      

      
         


      

    


    Option
would subject the Participant to suit under Section 16(b) of the Exchange
Act, the Option shall remain exercisable until the earliest to occur of
(i) the tenth (10th) day following the date on which a sale of such shares
by the Participant would no longer be subject to such suit, (ii) the one
hundred and ninetieth (190th) day after the Participant’s termination of
Service, or (iii) the Option Expiration Date.

     

    6.5 Transferability of
Options.  During the lifetime of the Participant, an Option
shall be exercisable only by the Participant or the Participant’s guardian or
legal representative.  Prior to the issuance of shares of Stock upon
the exercise of an Option, the Option shall not be subject in any manner to
anticipation, alienation, sale, exchange, transfer, assignment, pledge,
encumbrance, or garnishment by creditors of the Participant or the Participant’s
beneficiary, except transfer by will or by the laws of descent and
distribution.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent permitted
by the Committee, in its discretion, and set forth in the Award Agreement
evidencing such Option, a Nonstatutory Stock Option shall be assignable or
transferable subject to the applicable limitations, if any, described in the
General Instructions to Form S-8 Registration Statement under the
Securities Act.

     

    7. Terms and Conditions of
Nonemployee Director Awards.

     

    Nonemployee
Director Awards shall be evidenced by Award Agreements in such form as the Board
shall from time to time establish.  Such Award Agreements may
incorporate all or any of the terms of the Plan by reference, shall be automatic
and non-discretionary and shall comply with and be subject to the terms and
conditions set forth in this Section 7.

     

    For
purposes of this Section 7 as amended on December 19, 2009, each year the Board
shall approve the grant date for all Nonemployee Director awards to be made
under this Section 7 (the “Grant Date”), which shall be the same as the grant
date approved each year by the Committee for the annual Plan Awards to be made
to Employees in accordance with guidelines approved by the Committee (“Annual
Awards”).  Solely for purposes of determining the number of shares of
Stock covered by Restricted Stock Awards and Restricted Stock Units described in
Section 7.1 and Section 7.4, the “Fair Market Value of the Stock on Grant Date”
(which may be determined by an average or other method) shall be approved by the
Board each year and shall be the same as that used to determine the number of
Annual Awards.

     

    7.1 Automatic
Grant of Restricted Stock.

     

    (a) Timing and Amount
of Grant.  For each calendar year, each person who is a
Nonemployee Director on the Grant Date shall be granted a Restricted Stock Award
to purchase a number of shares of Stock determined by dividing forty-five
thousand dollars ($45,000) by the Fair Market Value of the Stock on the Grant
Date, and rounding down to the nearest whole number.

     

    (b) Vesting.  The
shares subject to the Restricted Stock Award granted pursuant to
Section 7.1(a) shall vest in equal annual installments of twenty percent
(20%) on each anniversary of the Grant Date, with one hundred percent (100%) of
the shares vested on the fifth anniversary of the Grant Date.

     


    
      
         


      

      
        15

        
          

        

      

      
         


      

    


    7.2 Annual Election to Receive
Nonstatutory Stock Option and Restricted Stock Units.  On a
date no later than December 31 of each calendar year during the term of the
Plan, each person who is then a Nonemployee Director shall deliver to the Board
a written election to receive either Nonstatutory Stock Options or Restricted
Stock Units, or both, with an aggregate value of $45,000, on the Grant Date for
the following calendar year, provided the person continues to be a Nonemployee
Director on the Grant Date.  A Nonemployee Director may allocate
between Nonstatutory Stock Options and Restricted Stock Units in minimum
increments with a value equal to $5,000, as determined in accordance with
Sections 7.3 and 7.4.  All awards of Nonstatutory Stock Options and
Restricted Stock Units made to Nonemployee Directors shall comply with the
provisions of Sections 7.3 and 7.4, respectively.  A Nonemployee
Director who fails to make a timely election or who first becomes a Nonemployee
Director after December 31 but before the Grant Date for the following
calendar year shall be awarded Nonstatutory Stock Options and Restricted Stock
Units each with a value of $22,500, as determined in accordance with Sections
7.3 and 7.4, provided the Nonemployee Director continues to be a Nonemployee
Director on the Grant Date.

     

    7.3 Grant
of Nonstatutory Stock Option.

     

    (a) Timing and Amount
of Grant.  For each calendar year, unless a Nonemployee
Director made an election to decline the award of a Nonstatutory Stock Option in
accordance with Section 7.7, each person who is a Nonemployee Director on the
Grant Date  shall receive a grant of a Nonstatutory Stock Option with
an aggregate value equal to $5,000, $10,000, $15,000, $20,000, $25,000 $30,000,
$35,000, $40,000, or $45,000 as previously elected by the Nonemployee Director
(or $22,500 in the case of a Nonemployee Director who failed to make a timely
election or who became a Nonemployee Director before the Grant Date for a
particular year but after December 31 of the previous year) (the “Elected Option
Value”).

     

    The
number of shares subject to the Nonstatutory Stock Option shall be determined by
dividing the Elected Option Value by the value of a Nonstatutory Stock Option to
purchase a single share of Stock as of the Grant Date.  The per share
option value shall be calculated in accordance with the Black-Scholes stock
option valuation method using the average closing price of Stock during the
preceding months of November, December, and January, and reducing the per option
value by twenty percent (20%).  The resulting number of shares subject
to the Nonstatutory Stock Option shall be rounded down to the nearest whole
share.  No person shall receive more than one grant of Nonstatutory
Stock Options pursuant to this Section 7.3(a) during any calendar
year.

     

    (b) Exercise Price
and Payment.  The exercise price of each Nonstatutory Stock
Option granted pursuant to Section 7.3(a) shall be the Fair Market Value of
the Stock on the Grant Date.  The payment of the exercise price for
the number of shares of Stock being purchased pursuant to the Nonstatutory Stock
Option shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Section
6.3.

     

    (c) Vesting and
Exercisability.  The Nonstatutory Stock Option granted in
accordance with this Section shall become vested and exercisable as to one third
(1/3) of the shares subject to the Nonstatutory Stock Option on the second,
third and fourth anniversaries of the Grant Date, respectively.  The
Nonstatutory Stock Option shall terminate ten (10) years after the Grant Date,
unless earlier terminated in accordance with its provisions.

of Grant.  For each calendar year, unless a Nonemployee
Director made an election to decline the award of a Restricted Stock Unit in
accordance with Section 7.7, each person who is a Nonemployee Director on the
Grant Date shall receive a grant of a Restricted Stock Unit with an aggregate
value equal to $5,000, $10,000, $15,000, $20,000, $25,000, $30,000, $35,000,
$40,000, or $45,000, as previously elected by the Nonemployee Director (or
$22,500 in the case of a Nonemployee Director who failed to make a timely
election or who became a Nonemployee Director after December 31 but before the
Grant Date) (the “Elected Stock
Unit Value”).  The number of Restricted Stock Units shall be
determined by dividing the Elected Stock Unit Value by the Fair Market Value of
the Stock on the Grant Date (including fractions computed to three decimal
places).  The Restricted Stock Units awarded to a Nonemployee Director
shall be credited to the director’s Restricted Stock Unit
account.  Each Restricted Stock Unit awarded to a Nonemployee Director
in accordance with this Section 7.4(a) shall be deemed to be equal to one
(1) (or fraction thereof) share of Stock on the Grant Date, and shall thereafter
fluctuate in value in accordance with the Fair Market Value of the
Stock.  No person shall receive more than one grant of Restricted
Stock Units pursuant to this Section 7.4(a) during any calendar
year.

     

    (b)           Dividend
Rights.  Each Nonemployee Director’s Restricted Stock Unit
account shall be credited quarterly on each dividend payment date with
additional shares of Restricted Stock Units (including fractions computed to
three decimal places) determined by dividing (1) the amount of cash dividends
paid on such date with respect to the number of shares of Stock represented by
the Restricted Stock Units previously credited to the account by (2) the Fair
Market Value per share of Stock on such date.  Such additional
Restricted Stock Units shall be subject to the same terms and conditions and
shall be settled in the same manner and at the same time as the Restricted Stock
Units originally subject to the Restricted Stock Unit Award.

     

    (c)           Settlement of
Restricted Stock Units.  Restricted Stock Units credited to a
Nonemployee Director’s Restricted Stock Unit account shall be settled by the
issuance of an equal number of shares of Stock, rounded down to the nearest
whole share, upon the earliest of (i) the Nonemployee Director’s Separation from
Service due to Mandatory Retirement, (ii) the Nonemployee Director’s Separation
from Service after five years of continuous service on the Board (“Director
Retirement”), (iii) the Nonemployee Director’s death, (iv) the Nonemployee
Director’s Disability (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code), (v) a
Change in Control that also constitutes a Section 409A Change in Control and
(vi) the Nonemployee Director’s Separation from Service following a Change in
Control.  In the event of a distribution pursuant to Section
7.4(c)(iii) or 7.4(c)(iv), the Nonemployee Director shall receive the Stock in a
lump sum distribution at the time of the applicable distribution
event.  In the case of Sections 7.4(c)(i), 7.4(c)(ii), 7.4(c)(v) and
7.4(c)(vi), the Nonemployee Director shall receive the Stock in a lump sum
distribution in January of the year following the year in which the applicable
distribution event occurs; provided, however, that the Nonemployee Director may
elect, no later than December 31 of the calendar year prior the date of grant of
the Restricted Stock Units (or such later time permitted by Section 409A), (1)
to receive a series of ten or less approximately equal annual installments
commencing no later than January of the year following the year in which the
applicable distribution event occurred (such election to apply to all such
distribution events)

     


    
      
         


      

      
        17

        
          

        

      

      
         


      

    


    or (2) to
instead receive a lump sum at the time that the applicable distribution event
occurs (such election to apply to all such distribution events).

     

    7.5 Effect
of Termination of Service as a Nonemployee Director.

     

    (a) Status of
Award.  Subject to
earlier termination of the Nonemployee Director Award as otherwise provided
herein, the status of a Nonemployee Director Award shall be determined as
follows:

     

    (i) Death or
Disability.  If the Nonemployee Director’s Service terminates
due to death or Disability (1) all shares subject to the Restricted Stock Award
shall become fully vested, and the Participant (or the Participant’s legal
representative or other person who acquired the rights to the Restricted Stock
by reason of the Participant’s death) shall have the right to resell or transfer
such shares at any time; and (2) all Nonstatutory Stock Options held by the
Participant shall become fully vested and exercisable, and the Participant (or
the Participant’s legal representative or other person who acquired the rights
to the Nonstatutory Stock Option by reason of the Participant’s death) shall
have the right to exercise the Nonstatutory Stock Options until the earlier of
(a) the date that is twelve (12) months after the date on which the
Participant’s Service terminated, or (b) the Option Expiration
Date.  If the Nonemployee Director becomes “disabled,” within the
meaning of Section 409A of the Code or in the event of the Nonemployee
Director’s death, all Restricted Stock Units credited to the Nonemployee
Director’s account shall immediately vest and become payable, in accordance with
Section 7.4(c), to the Participant (or the Participant’s legal representative or
other person who acquired the rights to the Restricted Stock Units by reason of
the Participant’s death) in the form of a number of shares of Stock equal to the
number of Restricted Stock Units credited to the Restricted Stock Unit account,
rounded down to the nearest whole share.

     

    (ii) Mandatory
Retirement.  If the Participant’s Service terminates because of
the Mandatory Retirement of the Participant (1) all shares subject to the
Restricted Stock Award shall become fully vested, and the Participant shall have
the right to resell or transfer such shares at any time; and (2) all
Nonstatutory Stock Options held by the Participant shall become fully vested and
exercisable and the Participant shall have the right to exercise the
Nonstatutory Stock Options until the earlier of (a) the date that is five
(5) years after the date on which the Participant’s Service terminated, or
(b) the Option Expiration Date.  If the Nonemployee Director
Separates from Service due to Mandatory Retirement, all Restricted Stock Units
credited to the Nonemployee Director’s account shall immediately vest and become
payable to the Participant in accordance with Section 7.4(c) above.

     

    (iii) Other Termination of
Service.  If the Participant’s Service terminates for any
reason other than those enumerated in Sections 7.5(a)(i) and 7.5(a)(ii), (1) any
unvested shares of Restricted Stock shall be forfeited to the Company and from
and after the date of such termination, the Participant shall cease to be a
shareholder with respect to such forfeited shares and shall have no dividend,
voting or other rights with respect thereto and (2) the unvested portion of
any Nonstatutory Stock Option shall terminate, and any portion of the
Nonstatutory Stock Option exercisable by the Participant on the date on which
the Participant’s Service terminated may be exercised until the earlier of
(a) the date that is three (3) months after the date on which the
Participant’s Service terminated, or (b) the Option Expiration
Date.  If the

     


    
      
         


      

      
        18

        
          

        

      

      
         


      

    


    Nonemployee
Director Separates from Service prior to the occurrence of any of the
distribution events set forth in Section 7.4(c), all Restricted Stock Units
credited to the Participant’s account shall be forfeited on the date of such
Separation from Service; provided, however, that if the Nonemployee Director
Separates from Service due to a pending Disability determination such forfeiture
shall not occur until a finding that such Disability has not
occurred.

     

    (iv) Notwithstanding
the provisions of Section 7.5(i) through 7.5(iii) above, the Board, in its sole
discretion, may establish different terms and conditions pertaining to
Nonemployee Director Awards.

     

    (b) Extension if
Exercise Prevented by Law.  Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if the exercise of a Nonstatutory Stock Option within the
applicable time periods set forth in Section 7.5(a) is prevented by the
provisions of Section 14.1 below, the Nonstatutory Stock Option shall
remain exercisable until three (3) months after the date the Participant is
notified by the Company that the Nonstatutory Stock Option is exercisable, but
in any event no later than the Option Expiration Date.

     

    (c) Extension if
Participant Subject to Section 16(b).  Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if a sale within the applicable time periods set forth in
Section 7.5(a) of shares acquired upon the exercise of the Nonstatutory
Stock Option would subject the Participant to suit under Section 16(b) of
the Exchange Act, the Nonstatutory Stock Option shall remain exercisable until
the earliest to occur of (i) the tenth (10th) day following the date on
which a sale of such shares by the Participant would no longer be subject to
such suit, (ii) the one hundred and ninetieth (190th) day after the
Participant’s termination of Service, or (iii) the Option Expiration
Date.

     

    7.6 Effect of Change in Control on
Nonemployee Director Awards.  Upon the occurrence of a Change
in Control, (i) the vesting of all shares of Restricted Stock granted
pursuant to Section 7.1(a) shall be accelerated so that all such shares
become fully vested, (ii) the vesting of Nonstatutory Stock Options granted
pursuant to Section 7.3(a) shall be accelerated and such Nonstatutory Stock
Options shall remain fully exercisable until the Option Expiration Date, and
(iii) all Restricted Stock Units shall immediately vest and be settled in
accordance with Section 7.4(c).

     

    7.7 Right to Decline Nonemployee Director
Awards.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any person may elect
not to receive a Nonemployee Director Award by delivering written notice of such
election to the Board no later than the day prior to the date such Nonemployee
Director Award would otherwise be granted.  A person so declining a
Nonemployee Director Award shall receive no payment or other consideration in
lieu of such declined Nonemployee Director Award.  A person who has
declined a Nonemployee Director Award may revoke such election by delivering
written notice of such revocation to the Board no later than the day prior to
the date such Nonemployee Director Award would be granted.

     

    8. Terms and Conditions of
Stock Appreciation Rights.

     

    Stock
Appreciation Rights shall be evidenced by Award Agreements specifying the number
of shares of Stock subject to the Award, in such form as the Committee shall
from

     


    
      
         


      

      
        19

        
          

        

      

      
         


      

    


    time to
time establish.  No SAR or purported SAR shall be a valid and binding
obligation of the Company unless evidenced by a fully executed Award
Agreement.  Award Agreements evidencing SARs may incorporate all or
any of the terms of the Plan by reference and shall comply with and be subject
to the following terms and conditions:

     

    8.1 Types of SARs
Authorized.  SARs may be granted in tandem with all or any
portion of a related Option (a “Tandem
SAR”) or may be
granted independently of any Option (a “Freestanding
SAR”).  A Tandem SAR
may be granted either concurrently with the grant of the related Option or at
any time thereafter prior to the complete exercise, termination, expiration or
cancellation of such related Option.

     

    8.2 Exercise Price.  The
exercise price for each SAR shall be established in the discretion of the
Committee; provided, however, that (a) the exercise price per share subject
to a Tandem SAR shall be the exercise price per share under the related Option
and (b) the exercise price per share subject to a Freestanding SAR shall be
not less than the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the effective date of
grant of the SAR.

     

    8.3 Exercisability
and Term of SARs.

     

    (a) Tandem
SARs.  Tandem SARs shall be exercisable only at the time and to
the extent, and only to the extent, that the related Option is exercisable,
subject to such provisions as the Committee may specify where the Tandem SAR is
granted with respect to less than the full number of shares of Stock subject to
the related Option.

     

    (b) Freestanding
SARs.  Freestanding SARs shall be exercisable at such time or
times, or upon such event or events, and subject to such terms, conditions,
performance criteria and restrictions as shall be determined by the Committee
and set forth in the Award Agreement evidencing such SAR; provided, however,
that no Freestanding SAR shall be exercisable after the expiration of ten (10)
years after the effective date of grant of such SAR.

     

    8.4 Deemed Exercise of
SARs.  If, on the date on which an SAR would otherwise
terminate or expire, the SAR by its terms remains exercisable immediately prior
to such termination or expiration and, if so exercised, would result in a
payment to the holder of such SAR, then any portion of such SAR which has not
previously been exercised shall automatically be deemed to be exercised as of
such date with respect to such portion.

     

    8.5 Effect of Termination of
Service.  Subject to earlier termination of the SAR as
otherwise provided herein and unless otherwise provided by the Committee in the
grant of an SAR and set forth in the Award Agreement, an SAR shall be
exercisable after a Participant’s termination of Service only as provided in the
Award Agreement.

     

    8.6 Nontransferability of
SARs.  During the lifetime of the Participant, an SAR shall be
exercisable only by the Participant or the Participant’s guardian or legal
representative.  Prior to the exercise of an SAR, the SAR shall not be
subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, exchange, transfer,
assignment, pledge, encumbrance, or garnishment by creditors of the Participant
or the Participant’s beneficiary, except transfer by will or by the laws of
descent and distribution.

    9. Terms and Conditions of
Restricted Stock Awards.

     

    Restricted
Stock Awards shall be evidenced by Award Agreements specifying the number of
shares of Stock subject to the Award, in such form as the Committee shall from
time to time establish.  No Restricted Stock Award or purported
Restricted Stock Award shall be a valid and binding obligation of the Company
unless evidenced by a fully executed Award Agreement.  Award
Agreements evidencing Restricted Stock Awards may incorporate all or any of the
terms of the Plan by reference and shall comply with and be subject to the
following terms and conditions:

     

    9.1 Types of Restricted Stock Awards
Authorized.  Restricted Stock Awards may or may not require the
payment of cash compensation for the stock.  Restricted Stock Awards
may be granted upon such conditions as the Committee shall determine, including,
without limitation, upon the attainment of one or more Performance Goals
described in Section 10.4.  If either the grant of a Restricted Stock
Award or the lapsing of the Restriction Period is to be contingent upon the
attainment of one or more Performance Goals, the Committee shall follow
procedures substantially equivalent to those set forth in Sections 10.3
through 10.5(a).

     

    9.2 Purchase Price.  The
purchase price, if any, for shares of Stock issuable under each Restricted Stock
Award and the means of payment shall be established by the Committee in its
discretion.

     

    9.3 Purchase Period.  A
Restricted Stock Award requiring the payment of cash consideration shall be
exercisable within a period established by the Committee; provided, however,
that no Restricted Stock Award granted to a prospective Employee, prospective
Consultant or prospective Director may become exercisable prior to the date on
which such person commences Service.

     

    9.4 Vesting and Restrictions on
Transfer.  Shares issued pursuant to any Restricted Stock Award
may or may not be made subject to Vesting Conditions based upon the satisfaction
of such Service requirements, conditions, restrictions or performance criteria,
including, without limitation, Performance Goals as described in
Section 10.4, as shall be established by the Committee and set forth in the
Award Agreement evidencing such Award.  During any Restriction Period
in which shares acquired pursuant to a Restricted Stock Award remain subject to
Vesting Conditions, such shares may not be sold, exchanged, transferred,
pledged, assigned or otherwise disposed of other than as provided in the Award
Agreement or as provided in Section 9.7.  Upon request by the
Company, each Participant shall execute any agreement evidencing such transfer
restrictions prior to the receipt of shares of Stock hereunder and shall
promptly present to the Company any and all certificates representing shares of
Stock acquired hereunder for the placement on such certificates of appropriate
legends evidencing any such transfer restrictions.

     

    9.5 Voting Rights, Dividends and
Distributions.  Except as provided in this Section,
Section 9.4 and any Award Agreement, during the Restriction Period
applicable to shares subject to a Restricted Stock Award, the Participant shall
have all of the rights of a

     


    
      
         


      

      
        21

        
          

        

      

      
         


      

    


    shareholder
of the Company holding shares of Stock, including the right to vote such shares
and to receive all dividends and other distributions paid with respect to such
shares.  However, in the event of a dividend or distribution paid in
shares of Stock or any other adjustment made upon a change in the capital
structure of the Company as described in Section 4.2, any and all new,
substituted or additional securities or other property (other than normal cash
dividends) to which the Participant is entitled by reason of the Participant’s
Restricted Stock Award shall be immediately subject to the same Vesting
Conditions as the shares subject to the Restricted Stock Award with respect to
which such dividends or distributions were paid or adjustments were
made.

     

    9.6 Effect of Termination of
Service.  Unless otherwise provided by the Committee in the
grant of a Restricted Stock Award and set forth in the Award Agreement, if a
Participant’s Service terminates for any reason, whether voluntary or
involuntary (including the Participant’s death or disability), then the
Participant shall forfeit to the Company any shares acquired by the Participant
pursuant to a Restricted Stock Award which remain subject to Vesting Conditions
as of the date of the Participant’s termination of Service in exchange for the
payment of the purchase price, if any, paid by the Participant.  The
Company shall have the right to assign at any time any repurchase right it may
have, whether or not such right is then exercisable, to one or more persons as
may be selected by the Company.

     

    9.7 Nontransferability of Restricted
Stock Award Rights.  Prior to the issuance of shares of Stock
pursuant to a Restricted Stock Award, rights to acquire such shares shall not be
subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, exchange, transfer,
assignment, pledge, encumbrance or garnishment by creditors of the Participant
or the Participant’s beneficiary, except transfer by will or the laws of descent
and distribution.  All rights with respect to a Restricted Stock Award
granted to a Participant hereunder shall be exercisable during his or her
lifetime only by such Participant or the Participant’s guardian or legal
representative.

     

    10. Terms and Conditions of
Performance Awards.

     

    Performance
Awards shall be evidenced by Award Agreements in such form as the Committee
shall from time to time establish.  No Performance Award or purported
Performance Award shall be a valid and binding obligation of the Company unless
evidenced by a fully executed Award Agreement.  Award Agreements
evidencing Performance Awards may incorporate all or any of the terms of the
Plan by reference and shall comply with and be subject to the following terms
and conditions:

     

    10.1 Types of Performance Awards
Authorized.  Performance Awards may be in the form of either
Performance Shares or Performance Units.  Each Award Agreement
evidencing a Performance Award shall specify the number of Performance Shares or
Performance Units subject thereto, the Performance Award Formula, the
Performance Goal(s) and Performance Period applicable to the Award, and the
other terms, conditions and restrictions of the Award.

     

    10.2 Initial Value of Performance Shares
and Performance Units.  Unless otherwise provided by the
Committee in granting a Performance Award, each Performance Share shall have an
initial value equal to the Fair Market Value of one (1) share of Stock, subject
to adjustment as provided in Section 4.2, on the effective date of grant of
the Performance Share.

     


    
      
         


      

      
        22

        
          

        

      

      
         


      

    


    Each
Performance Unit shall have an initial value determined by the
Committee.  The final value payable to the Participant in settlement
of a Performance Award determined on the basis of the applicable Performance
Award Formula will depend on the extent to which Performance Goals established
by the Committee are attained within the applicable Performance Period
established by the Committee.

     

    10.3 Establishment of Performance Period,
Performance Goals and Performance Award Formula.  In granting
each Performance Award, the Committee shall establish in writing the applicable
Performance Period, Performance Award Formula and one or more Performance Goals
which, when measured at the end of the Performance Period, shall determine on
the basis of the Performance Award Formula the final value of the Performance
Award to be paid to the Participant.  To the extent compliance with
the requirements under Section 162(m) with respect to “performance-based
compensation” is desired, the Committee shall establish the Performance Goal(s)
and Performance Award Formula applicable to each Performance Award no later than
the earlier of (a) the date ninety (90) days after the commencement of the
applicable Performance Period or (b) the date on which 25% of the Performance
Period has elapsed, and, in any event, at a time when the outcome of the
Performance Goals remains substantially uncertain.  Once established,
the Performance Goals and Performance Award Formula shall not be changed during
the Performance Period.  The Company shall notify each Participant
granted a Performance Award of the terms of such Award, including the
Performance Period, Performance Goal(s) and Performance Award
Formula.

     

    10.4 Measurement of Performance
Goals.  Performance Goals shall be established by the Committee
on the basis of targets to be attained (“Performance
Targets”) with
respect to one or more measures of business or financial performance (each, a
“Performance
Measure”),
subject to the following:

     

    (a) Performance
Measures.  Performance Measures shall have the same meanings as
used in the Company’s financial statements, or, if such terms are not used in
the Company’s financial statements, they shall have the meaning applied pursuant
to generally accepted accounting principles, or as used generally in the
Company’s industry.  Performance Measures shall be calculated with
respect to the Company and each Subsidiary Corporation consolidated therewith
for financial reporting purposes or such division or other business unit as may
be selected by the Committee.  For purposes of the Plan, the
Performance Measures applicable to a Performance Award shall be calculated in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, but prior to the
accrual or payment of any Performance Award for the same Performance Period and
excluding the effect (whether positive or negative) of any change in accounting
standards or any extraordinary, unusual or nonrecurring item, as determined by
the Committee, occurring after the establishment of the Performance Goals
applicable to the Performance Award.  Each such adjustment, if any,
shall be made solely for the purpose of providing a consistent basis from period
to period for the calculation of Performance Measures in order to prevent the
dilution or enlargement of the Participant’s rights with respect to a
Performance Award.  Performance Measures may be one or more of the
following, as determined by the Committee:  (i) sales revenue;
(ii) gross margin; (iii) operating margin; (iv) operating income;
(v) pre-tax profit; (vi) earnings before interest, taxes and
depreciation and amortization; (vii) net income; (viii) expenses;
(ix) the market price of the Stock; (x) earnings per share;
(xi) return on shareholder equity; (xii) return on capital;
(xiii) return on net assets;

     


    
      
         


      

      
        23

        
          

        

      

      
         


      

    


    (xiv) economic
value added; and (xv) market share; (xvi) customer service;
(xvii) customer satisfaction; (xviii) safety; (xix) total
shareholder return; or (xx) such other measures as determined by the
Committee consistent with this Section 10.4(a).

     

    (b) Performance
Targets.  Performance Targets may include a minimum, maximum,
target level and intermediate levels of performance, with the final value of a
Performance Award determined under the applicable Performance Award Formula by
the level attained during the applicable Performance Period.  A
Performance Target may be stated as an absolute value or as a value determined
relative to a standard selected by the Committee.

     

    10.5 Settlement
of Performance Awards.

     

    (a) Determination of
Final Value.  As soon as practicable, but no later than the
15th day of the third month following the completion of the Performance Period
applicable to a Performance Award, the Committee shall certify in writing the
extent to which the applicable Performance Goals have been attained and the
resulting final value of the Award earned by the Participant and to be paid upon
its settlement in accordance with the applicable Performance Award
Formula.

     

    (b) Discretionary
Adjustment of Award Formula.  In its discretion, the Committee
may, either at the time it grants a Performance Award or at any time thereafter,
provide for the positive or negative adjustment of the Performance Award Formula
applicable to a Performance Award that is not intended to constitute “qualified
performance based compensation” to a “covered employee” within the meaning of
Section 162(m) (a “Covered
Employee”) to
reflect such Participant’s individual performance in his or her position with
the Company or such other factors as the Committee may
determine.  With respect to a Performance Award intended to constitute
qualified performance-based compensation to a Covered Employee, the Committee
shall have the discretion to reduce some or all of the value of the Performance
Award that would otherwise be paid to the Covered Employee upon its settlement
notwithstanding the attainment of any Performance Goal and the resulting value
of the Performance Award determined in accordance with the Performance Award
Formula.

     

    (c) Payment in
Settlement of Performance Awards.  As soon as practicable
following the Committee’s determination and certification in accordance with
Sections 10.5(a) and (b) but, in any case, no later than the 15th day of
the third month following completion of the Performance Period applicable to a
Performance Award, payment shall be made to each eligible Participant (or such
Participant’s legal representative or other person who acquired the right to
receive such payment by reason of the Participant’s death) of the final value of
the Participant’s Performance Award.  Payment of such amount shall be
made in cash, shares of Stock, or a combination thereof as determined by the
Committee.

     

    10.6 Voting Rights, Dividend Equivalent
Rights and Distributions.  Participants shall have no voting
rights with respect to shares of Stock represented by Performance Share Awards
until the date of the issuance of such shares, if any (as evidenced by the
appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer
agent of the Company).  However, the Committee, in its discretion, may
provide in the Award Agreement evidencing any Performance Share Award that the
Participant shall be entitled to receive Dividend Equivalents

     


    
      
         


      

      
        24

        
          

        

      

      
         


      

    


    with
respect to the payment of cash dividends on Stock having a record date prior to
the date on which the Performance Shares are settled or
forfeited.  Such Dividend Equivalents, if any, shall be credited to
the Participant in the form of additional whole Performance Shares as of the
date of payment of such cash dividends on Stock.  The number of
additional Performance Shares (rounded to the nearest whole number) to be so
credited shall be determined by dividing (a) the amount of cash dividends
paid on such date with respect to the number of shares of Stock represented by
the Performance Shares previously credited to the Participant by (b) the
Fair Market Value per share of Stock on such date.  Dividend
Equivalents may be paid currently or may be accumulated and paid to the extent
that Performance Shares become nonforfeitable, as determined by the Committee in
accordance with Section 409A of the Code.  Settlement of Dividend
Equivalents may be made in cash, shares of Stock, or a combination thereof as
determined by the Committee, and may be paid on the same basis as settlement of
the related Performance Share as provided in
Section 10.5.  Dividend Equivalents shall not be paid with
respect to Performance Units.  In the event of a dividend or
distribution paid in shares of Stock or any other adjustment made upon a change
in the capital structure of the Company as described in Section 4.2,
appropriate adjustments shall be made in the Participant’s Performance Share
Award so that it represents the right to receive upon settlement any and all
new, substituted or additional securities or other property (other than normal
cash dividends) to which the Participant would be entitled by reason of the
shares of Stock issuable upon settlement of the Performance Share Award, and all
such new, substituted or additional securities or other property shall be
immediately subject to the same Performance Goals as are applicable to the
Award.

     

    10.7 Effect of Termination of
Service.  Unless otherwise provided by the Committee in the
grant of a Performance Award and set forth in the Award Agreement, the effect of
a Participant’s termination of Service on the Performance Award shall be as
follows:

     

    (a) Death or
Disability.  If the Participant’s Service terminates because of
the death or Disability of the Participant before the completion of the
Performance Period applicable to the Performance Award, the final value of the
Participant’s Performance Award shall be determined by the extent to which the
applicable Performance Goals have been attained with respect to the entire
Performance Period and shall be prorated based on the number of months of the
Participant’s Service during the Performance Period.  Payment shall be
made following the end of the Performance Period in any manner permitted by
Section 10.5.

     

    (b) Other Termination
of Service.  If the Participant’s Service terminates for any
reason except death or Disability before the completion of the Performance
Period applicable to the Performance Award, such Award shall be forfeited in its
entirety; provided, however, that in the event of an involuntary termination of
the Participant’s Service, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may waive the
automatic forfeiture of all or any portion of any such Award.

     

    10.8 Nontransferability of Performance
Awards.  Prior to settlement in accordance with the provisions
of the Plan, no Performance Award shall be subject in any manner to
anticipation, alienation, sale, exchange, transfer, assignment, pledge,
encumbrance, or garnishment by creditors of the Participant or the Participant’s
beneficiary, except transfer by will or by the laws of descent and
distribution.  All rights with respect to a Performance
Award

     


    
      
         


      

      
        25

        
          

        

      

      
         


      

    


    granted
to a Participant hereunder shall be exercisable during his or her lifetime only
by such Participant or the Participant’s guardian or legal
representative.

     

    11. Terms and
Conditions of Restricted Stock Unit Awards.

     

    Restricted
Stock Unit Awards shall be evidenced by Award Agreements specifying the number
of Restricted Stock Units subject to the Award, in such form as the Committee
shall from time to time establish.  No Restricted Stock Unit Award or
purported Restricted Stock Unit Award shall be a valid and binding obligation of
the Company unless evidenced by a fully executed Award
Agreement.  Award Agreements evidencing Restricted Stock Units may
incorporate all or any of the terms of the Plan by reference and shall comply
with and be subject to the following terms and conditions:

     

    11.1 Grant of Restricted Stock Unit
Awards.  Restricted Stock Unit Awards may be granted upon such
conditions as the Committee shall determine, including, without limitation, upon
the attainment of one or more Performance Goals described in
Section 10.4.  If either the grant of a Restricted Stock Unit
Award or the Vesting Conditions with respect to such Award is to be contingent
upon the attainment of one or more Performance Goals, the Committee shall follow
procedures substantially equivalent to those set forth in Sections 10.3
through 10.5(a).

     

    11.2 Vesting.  Restricted
Stock Units may or may not be made subject to Vesting Conditions based upon the
satisfaction of such Service requirements, conditions, restrictions or
performance criteria, including, without limitation, Performance Goals as
described in Section 10.44, as shall be
established by the Committee and set forth in the Award Agreement evidencing
such Award.

     

    11.3 Voting Rights, Dividend Equivalent
Rights and Distributions.  Participants shall have no voting
rights with respect to shares of Stock represented by Restricted Stock Units
until the date of the issuance of such shares (as evidenced by the appropriate
entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the
Company).  However, the Committee, in its discretion, may provide in
the Award Agreement evidencing any Restricted Stock Unit Award that the
Participant shall be entitled to receive Dividend Equivalents with respect to
the payment of cash dividends on Stock having a record date prior to the date on
which Restricted Stock Units held by such Participant are
settled.  Such Dividend Equivalents, if any, shall be paid by
crediting the Participant with additional whole Restricted Stock Units as of the
date of payment of such cash dividends on Stock.  The number of
additional Restricted Stock Units (rounded to the nearest whole number) to be so
credited shall be determined by dividing (a) the amount of cash dividends paid
on such date with respect to the number of shares of Stock represented by the
Restricted Stock Units previously credited to the Participant by (b) the Fair
Market Value per share of Stock on such date.  Such additional
Restricted Stock Units shall be subject to the same terms and conditions and
shall be settled in the same manner and at the same time as the Restricted Stock
Units originally subject to the Restricted Stock Unit Award, provided that
Dividend Equivalents may be settled in cash, shares of Stock, or a combination
thereof as determined by the Committee.  In the event of a dividend or
distribution paid in shares of Stock or any other adjustment made upon a change
in the capital structure of the Company as described in Section 4.2, appropriate adjustments shall be made in the
Participant’s Restricted Stock Unit Award so that it represents the right to
receive upon settlement any and all new,

     


    
      
         


      

      
        26

        
          

        

      

      
         


      

    


    substituted
or additional securities or other property (other than normal cash dividends) to
which the Participant would be entitled by reason of the shares of Stock
issuable upon settlement of the Award, and all such new, substituted or
additional securities or other property shall be immediately subject to the same
Vesting Conditions as are applicable to the Award.

     

    11.4 Effect of Termination of
Service.  Unless otherwise provided by the Committee in the
grant of a Restricted Stock Unit Award and set forth in the Award Agreement, if
a Participant’s Service terminates for any reason, whether voluntary or
involuntary (including the Participant’s death or disability), then the
Participant shall forfeit to the Company any Restricted Stock Units pursuant to
the Award which remain subject to Vesting Conditions as of the date of the
Participant’s termination of Service.

     

    11.5 Settlement of Restricted Stock Unit
Awards.  The Company shall issue to a Participant on the date
on which Restricted Stock Units subject to the Participant’s Restricted Stock
Unit Award vest or on such other date determined by the Committee, in its
discretion, and set forth in the Award Agreement one (1) share of Stock (and/or
any other new, substituted or additional securities or other property pursuant
to an adjustment described in Section 11.3) or each Restricted Stock Unit
then becoming vested or otherwise to be settled on such date, subject to the
withholding of applicable taxes.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if
permitted by the Committee and set forth in the Award Agreement, the Participant
may elect in accordance with terms specified in the Award Agreement to defer
receipt of all or any portion of the shares of Stock or other property otherwise
issuable to the Participant pursuant to this Section.

     

    11.6 Nontransferability of Restricted
Stock Unit Awards.  Prior to the issuance of shares of Stock in
settlement of a Restricted Stock Unit Award, the Award shall not be subject in
any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, exchange, transfer, assignment,
pledge, encumbrance, or garnishment by creditors of the Participant or the
Participant’s beneficiary, except transfer by will or by the laws of descent and
distribution.  All rights with respect to a Restricted Stock Unit
Award granted to a Participant hereunder shall be exercisable during his or her
lifetime only by such Participant or the Participant’s guardian or legal
representative.

     

    12. Deferred Compensation
Awards.

     

    12.1 Establishment of Deferred
Compensation Award Programs.  This Section 12 shall not be
effective unless and until the Committee determines to establish a program
pursuant to this Section.  The Committee, in its discretion and upon
such terms and conditions as it may determine, may establish one or more
programs pursuant to the Plan under which:

     

    (a) Participants
designated by the Committee who are Insiders or otherwise among a select group
of highly compensated Employees may irrevocably elect, prior to a date specified
by the Committee, to reduce such Participant’s compensation otherwise payable in
cash (subject to any minimum or maximum reductions imposed by the Committee) and
to be granted automatically at such time or times as specified by the Committee
one or more Awards of Stock Units with respect to such numbers of shares of
Stock as determined in accordance with the rules of the program established by
the Committee and having such other terms and conditions as established by the
Committee.

     


    
      
         


      

      
        27

        
          

        

      

      
         


      

    


    (b) Participants
designated by the Committee who are Insiders or otherwise among a select group
of highly compensated Employees may irrevocably elect, prior to a date specified
by the Committee, to be granted automatically an Award of Stock Units with
respect to such number of shares of Stock and upon such other terms and
conditions as established by the Committee in lieu of cash or shares of Stock
otherwise issuable to such Participant upon the settlement of a Performance
Award or Performance Unit.

     

    12.2 Terms and Conditions of Deferred
Compensation Awards.  Deferred Compensation Awards granted
pursuant to this Section 12 shall be evidenced by Award Agreements in such
form as the Committee shall from time to time establish.  No such
Deferred Compensation Award or purported Deferred Compensation Award shall be a
valid and binding obligation of the Company unless evidenced by a fully executed
Award Agreement.  Award Agreements evidencing Deferred Compensation
Awards may incorporate all or any of the terms of the Plan by reference and
shall comply with and be subject to the following terms and
conditions:

     

    (a) Vesting
Conditions.  Deferred Compensation Awards shall not be subject
to any vesting conditions.

     

    (b) Terms and
Conditions of Stock Units.

     

    (i) Voting Rights, Dividend Equivalent
Rights and Distributions.  Participants shall have no voting
rights with respect to shares of Stock represented by Stock Units until the date
of the issuance of such shares (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the
books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the
Company).  However, a Participant shall be entitled to receive
Dividend Equivalents with respect to the payment of cash dividends on Stock
having a record date prior to the date on which Stock Units held by such
Participant are settled.  Such Dividend Equivalents shall be paid by
crediting the Participant with additional whole and/or fractional Stock Units as
of the date of payment of such cash dividends on Stock.  The method of
determining the number of additional Stock Units to be so credited shall be
specified by the Committee and set forth in the Award Agreement.  Such
additional Stock Units shall be subject to the same terms and conditions and
shall be settled in the same manner and at the same time as the Stock Units
originally subject to the Stock Unit Award.  In the event of a
dividend or distribution paid in shares of Stock or any other adjustment made
upon a change in the capital structure of the Company as described in
Section 4.2, appropriate adjustments shall be made in the Participant’s
Stock Unit Award so that it represents the right to receive upon settlement any
and all new, substituted or additional securities or other property (other than
normal cash dividends) to which the Participant would be entitled by reason of
the shares of Stock issuable upon settlement of the Award.

     

    (ii) Settlement of Stock Unit
Awards.  A Participant electing to receive an Award of Stock
Units pursuant to this Section 12, shall specify at the time of such
election a settlement date with respect to such Award in accordance with rules
established by the Committee.  The Company shall issue to the
Participant upon the earlier of the settlement date elected by the Participant
or the date of the Participant’s Separation from Service, a number of whole
shares of Stock equal to the number of whole Stock Units subject to the Stock
Unit Award.  Such shares of Stock shall be fully vested, and the
Participant shall not be required to

     


    
      
         


      

      
        28

        
          

        

      

      
         


      

    


    pay any
additional consideration (other than applicable tax withholding) to acquire such
shares.  Any fractional Stock Unit subject to the Stock Unit Award
shall be settled by the Company by payment in cash of an amount equal to the
Fair Market Value as of the payment date of such fractional share.

     

    (iii) Nontransferability of Stock Unit
Awards.  Prior to their settlement in accordance with the
provision of the Plan, no Stock Unit Award shall be subject in any manner to
anticipation, alienation, sale, exchange, transfer, assignment, pledge,
encumbrance, or garnishment by creditors of the Participant or the Participant’s
beneficiary, except transfer by will or by the laws of descent and
distribution.  All rights with respect to a Stock Unit Award granted
to a Participant hereunder shall be exercisable during his or her lifetime only
by such Participant or the Participant’s guardian or legal
representative.

     

    13. Other
Stock-Based Awards.

     

    In
addition to the Awards set forth in Sections 6 through 12 above, the Committee,
in its sole discretion, may carry out the purpose of this Plan by awarding
Stock-Based Awards as it determines to be in the best interests of the Company
and subject to such other terms and conditions as it deems necessary and
appropriate.

     

    14. Change in
Control.

     

    14.1 Effect of Change in Control on
Options and SARs.  In
the event of a Change in Control, the surviving, continuing, successor, or
purchasing corporation or other business entity or parent thereof, as the case
may be (the “Acquiror”), may, without the consent
of any Participant, either assume or continue the Company’s rights and
obligations under outstanding Options or SARs or substitute for outstanding
Options or SARs substantially equivalent options or SARs covering the Acquiror’s
stock.  Any Options or SARs which are neither assumed or continued by
the Acquiror in connection with the Change in Control nor exercised as of the
Change in Control shall, contingent on the Change in Control, become fully
vested and exercisable immediately prior to the Change in
Control.  Options and SARs which are assumed or continued in
connection with a Change in Control shall be subject to such additional
accelerated vesting and/or exercisability in connection with the Participant’s
subsequent termination of Service as the Board may determine.

     

    14.2 Effect of Change in Control on Other
Awards.  In
the event of a Change in Control, the Acquiror may, without the consent of any
Participant, either assume or continue the Company’s rights and obligations
under outstanding Awards other than Options or SARs or substitute for such
Awards substantially equivalent Awards covering the Acquiror’s
stock.  Any such Awards which are neither assumed or continued by the
Acquiror in connection with the Change in Control shall, contingent on the
Change in Control, become fully vested.  Awards which are assumed or
continued in connection with a Change in Control shall be subject to such
additional accelerated vesting or lapse of restrictions in connection with the
Participant’s subsequent termination of Service as the Board may
determine.

     

    14.3 Nonemployee Director
Awards.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Nonemployee Director
Awards shall be subject to the terms of Section 7, and not this Section
14.

     


    
      
         


      

      
        29

        
          

        

      

      
         


      

    


    15. Compliance with Securities
Law.

     

    The grant
of Awards and the issuance of shares of Stock pursuant to any Award shall be
subject to compliance with all applicable requirements of federal, state and
foreign law with respect to such securities and the requirements of any stock
exchange or market system upon which the Stock may then be listed.  In
addition, no Award may be exercised or shares issued pursuant to an Award unless
(a) a registration statement under the Securities Act shall at the time of
such exercise or issuance be in effect with respect to the shares issuable
pursuant to the Award or (b) in the opinion of legal counsel to the
Company, the shares issuable pursuant to the Award may be issued in accordance
with the terms of an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of
the Securities Act.  The inability of the Company to obtain from any
regulatory body having jurisdiction the authority, if any, deemed by the
Company’s legal counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any
shares hereunder shall relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the
failure to issue or sell such shares as to which such requisite authority shall
not have been obtained.  As a condition to issuance of any Stock, the
Company may require the Participant to satisfy any qualifications that may be
necessary or appropriate, to evidence compliance with any applicable law or
regulation and to make any representation or warranty with respect thereto as
may be requested by the Company.

     

    16. Tax
Withholding.

     

    16.1 Tax Withholding in
General.  The Company shall have the right to deduct from any
and all payments made under the Plan, or to require the Participant, through
payroll withholding, cash payment or otherwise, including by means of a Cashless
Exercise or Net Exercise of an Option, to make adequate provision for, the
federal, state, local and foreign taxes, if any, required by law to be withheld
by the Participating Company Group with respect to an Award or the shares
acquired pursuant thereto.  The Company shall have no obligation to
deliver shares of Stock, to release shares of Stock from an escrow established
pursuant to an Award Agreement, or to make any payment in cash under the Plan
until the Participating Company Group’s tax withholding obligations have been
satisfied by the Participant.

     

    16.2 Withholding in
Shares.  The Company shall have the right, but not the
obligation, to deduct from the shares of Stock issuable to a Participant upon
the exercise or settlement of an Award, or to accept from the Participant the
tender of, a number of whole shares of Stock having a Fair Market Value, as
determined by the Company, equal to all or any part of the tax withholding
obligations of the Participating Company Group.  The Fair Market Value
of any shares of Stock withheld or tendered to satisfy any such tax withholding
obligations shall not exceed the amount determined by the applicable minimum
statutory withholding rates.

     

    17. Amendment
or Termination of Plan.

     

    The Board
or the Committee may amend, suspend or terminate the Plan at any
time.  However, without the approval of the Company’s shareholders,
there shall be (a) no increase in the maximum aggregate number of shares of
Stock that may be issued under the Plan (except by operation of the provisions
of Section 4.2), (b) no change in the class of persons eligible to receive
Incentive Stock Options, and (c)  no other amendment of the Plan that would
require approval of the Company’s shareholders under any applicable law,
regulation or rule.

     


    
      
         


      

      
        30

        
          

        

      

      
         


      

    


    Notwithstanding
the foregoing, only the Board may amend Section 7.  No amendment,
suspension or termination of the Plan shall affect any then outstanding Award
unless expressly provided by the Board or the Committee.  In any
event, no amendment, suspension or termination of the Plan may adversely affect
any then outstanding Award without the consent of the Participant unless
necessary to comply with any applicable law, regulation or rule.

     

    18. Miscellaneous
Provisions.

     

    18.1 Repurchase Rights.  Shares
issued under the Plan may be subject to one or more repurchase options, or other
conditions and restrictions as determined by the Committee in its discretion at
the time the Award is granted.  The Company shall have the right to
assign at any time any repurchase right it may have, whether or not such right
is then exercisable, to one or more persons as may be selected by the
Company.  Upon request by the Company, each Participant shall execute
any agreement evidencing such transfer restrictions prior to the receipt of
shares of Stock hereunder and shall promptly present to the Company any and all
certificates representing shares of Stock acquired hereunder for the placement
on such certificates of appropriate legends evidencing any such transfer
restrictions.

     

    18.2 Provision of
Information.  Each Participant shall be given access to
information concerning the Company equivalent to that information generally made
available to the Company’s common shareholders.

     

    18.3 Rights as Employee, Consultant or
Director.  No person, even though eligible pursuant to
Section 5, shall have a right to be selected as a Participant, or, having
been so selected, to be selected again as a Participant.  Nothing in
the Plan or any Award granted under the Plan shall confer on any Participant a
right to remain an Employee, Consultant or Director or interfere with or limit
in any way any right of a Participating Company to terminate the Participant’s
Service at any time.  To the extent that an Employee of a
Participating Company other than the Company receives an Award under the Plan,
that Award shall in no event be understood or interpreted to mean that the
Company is the Employee’s employer or that the Employee has an employment
relationship with the Company.

     

    18.4 Rights as a
Shareholder.  A Participant shall have no rights as a
shareholder with respect to any shares covered by an Award until the date of the
issuance of such shares (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of
the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the
Company).  No adjustment shall be made for dividends, distributions or
other rights for which the record date is prior to the date such shares are
issued, except as provided in Section 4.2 or another provision of the
Plan.

     

    18.5 Fractional
Shares.  The Company shall not be required to issue fractional
shares upon the exercise or settlement of any Award.

     

    18.6 Severability.  If
any one or more of the provisions (or any part thereof) of this Plan shall be
held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such provision shall be
modified so as to make it valid, legal and enforceable, and the validity,
legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions (or any part thereof) of
the Plan shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

     


    
      
         


      

      
        31

        
          

        

      

      
         


      

    


    18.7 Beneficiary
Designation.  Subject to local laws and procedures, each
Participant may file with the Company a written designation of a beneficiary who
is to receive any benefit under the Plan to which the Participant is entitled in
the event of such Participant’s death before he or she receives any or all of
such benefit.  Each designation will revoke all prior designations by
the same Participant, shall be in a form prescribed by the Company, and will be
effective only when filed by the Participant in writing with the Company during
the Participant’s lifetime.  If a married Participant designates a
beneficiary other than the Participant’s spouse, the effectiveness of such
designation may be subject to the consent of the Participant’s
spouse.  If a Participant dies without an effective designation of a
beneficiary who is living at the time of the Participant’s death, the Company
will pay any remaining unpaid benefits to the Participant’s legal
representative.

     

    18.8 Unfunded
Obligation.  Participants shall have the status of general
unsecured creditors of the Company.  Any amounts payable to
Participants pursuant to the Plan shall be unfunded and unsecured obligations
for all purposes, including, without limitation, Title I of the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.  No Participating Company
shall be required to segregate any monies from its general funds, or to create
any trusts, or establish any special accounts with respect to such
obligations.  The Company shall retain at all times beneficial
ownership of any investments, including trust investments, which the Company may
make to fulfill its payment obligations hereunder.  Any investments or
the creation or maintenance of any trust or any Participant account shall not
create or constitute a trust or fiduciary relationship between the Committee or
any Participating Company and a Participant, or otherwise create any vested or
beneficial interest in any Participant or the Participant’s creditors in any
assets of any Participating Company.  The Participants shall have no
claim against any Participating Company for any changes in the value of any
assets which may be invested or reinvested by the Company with respect to the
Plan.  Each Participating Company shall be responsible for making
benefit payments pursuant to the Plan on behalf of its Participants or for
reimbursing the Company for the cost of such payments, as determined by the
Company in its sole discretion.  In the event the respective
Participating Company fails to make such payment or reimbursement, a
Participant’s (or other individual’s) sole recourse shall be against the
respective Participating Company, and not against the Company.  A
Participant’s acceptance of an Award pursuant to the Plan shall constitute
agreement with this provision.

     

    18.9 Choice of
Law.  Except to the extent governed by applicable federal law,
the validity, interpretation, construction and performance of the Plan and each
Award Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of California,
without regard to its conflict of law rules.

     

    18.10 Section 409A of the
Code.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, to
the extent any Award payable in connection with a Participant's Separation
from Service constitutes deferred compensation subject to (and not
exempt from) Section 409A of the Code and (ii) the Participant is deemed at the
time of such separation to be a “specified employee" under Section 409A of
the Code and the Treasury regulations thereunder, then payment shall not be made
or commence until the earlier of (i) six (6)-months after such Separation from
Service or (ii) the date of the Participant’s death following such Separation
from Service; provided, however, that such delay shall only be effected to the
extent required to avoid adverse tax treatment to the Participant, including
(without limitation) the additional twenty percent (20%)

     


    
      
         


      

      
        32

        
          

        

      

      
         


      

    


    tax for
which the Participant would otherwise be liable under Section 409A(a)(1)(B) of
the Code in the absence of such delay.  Upon the expiration of the
applicable delay period, any payment which would have otherwise been paid during
that period (whether in a single sum or in installments) in the absence of this
paragraph shall be paid to the Participant or the Participant’s beneficiary in
one lump sum on the first business day immediately following such
delay.

              Board
      amends Section 7 as follows:

              Define
      “Grant Date” for a particular calendar year as the first business day in
      March of that calendar year.  Previously, the grant date for
      awards in 2006 and 2007 was the first business day in January of that
      particular calendar year.  This amendment becomes effective
      starting with grants for 2008.

              Amend
      the basis for calculating the per share value of stock option awards, so
      it is based on the average closing price of Stock during the months of
      November, December, and January preceding the
      grant.  Previously, the per share value of stock options awards
      for grants in 2006 and 2007 was based on the average closing price of
      Stock during the preceding month of November.  This amendment
      becomes effective starting with grants for 2008.

              Clarify
      the language for settling restricted stock awards upon a Nonemployee
      Director’s retirement from the Board, to indicate that shares credited to
      a Nonemployee Director’s Restricted Stock Unit account may be settled
      after a Nonemployee Director ceases to be a member of the Board of
      Directors following five years of service on the Board.

              Board
      amends Section 7 containing the terms for automatic awards for Nonemployee
      Directors, effective January 1, 2009, to increase the total value of
      annual equity awards to Nonemployee Directors from $80,000 to
      $90,000.  Of this amount, $45,000 of equity awards shall be
      Restricted Stock, and the remaining $45,000 shall be a mixture of Options
      and Restricted Stock Units, consistent with the Plan and with each
      Nonemployee Director’s election.

              Plan
      is amended to (1) establish March 10, 2010 as the date of grant of 2010
      Plan awards for non-employee directors and calculate the number of shares
      of restricted stock and restricted stock units (RSUs) to be awarded based
      upon the average closing price of PG&E Corporation common stock over
      the five trading days on March 4 through March 10, 2010, and (2) beginning
      in March 2011, establish that the date of grant of Plan awards for
      non-employee directors and the price of PG&E Corporation common stock
      to be used to calculate the number of shares of restricted stock and RSUs
      to be awarded to non-employee directors be the same as the date of grant
      and stock price used for the annual LTIP awards for
    employees.
