FMC Amended and Restated Incentive Compensation and Stock Plan


 
Exhibit 10.1

 
FMC CORPORATION 
INCENTIVE COMPENSATION AND STOCK PLAN 
AMENDED AND RESTATED AS OF JANUARY 1, 2002 
 
SECTION 1.    HISTORY AND PURPOSE 
 
1.1 History.    In 1995 the Company’s stockholders approved the adoption of the FMC 1995 Stock
Option Plan and the FMC 1995 Management Incentive Plan with 3,000,000 shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the two plans combined. Effective as of February 16, 2001, the Board merged the FMC 1995 Management Incentive Plan with and
into the FMC 1995 Stock Option Plan, and the FMC 1995 Stock Option Plan was restated as provided herein, and renamed the FMC Corporation Incentive Compensation and Stock Plan. Also effective as of February 16, 2001, the Board approved an addition to
the authorization of shares available for issuance under the Plan of 800,000 shares of Common Stock, making the total shares available for issuance under the Plan 3,800,000 as of that date. 
 
In 2000, the Committee adopted the FMC Corporation Stock
Appreciation Rights and Phantom Stock Plan to provide equity-based cash compensation to foreign employees in an effort to reduce the foreign income taxes that would otherwise be payable by such foreign employees if they received traditional grants
under the Plan. The FMC Corporation Stock Appreciation Rights and Phantom Stock Plan was merged with and into the Plan effective as of February 16, 2001. 
 
In June 2001, the Company distributed substantially all of the net assets relative to its machinery business into a separate company, FMC
Technologies, Inc. (“Technologies”). Seventeen percent of FMC’s ownership in Technologies was sold to the public in June 2001, and the remainder was distributed to FMC shareholders on December 31, 2001 (the “Spin-off”). As a
result of the Spin-off, each unit of FMC Common Stock was adjusted by a factor of 1.9064045. Therefore, effective as of December 31, 2001, the total number of shares available for issuance under the Plan was adjusted to 7,244,377, in accordance with
Section 4.1 of the Plan. Similarly, the Option Price per share of Common Stock under Stock Options outstanding under the Plan as of December 31, 2001 was adjusted by a factor of .5245476. The Plan was restated as of January 1, 2002, as provided
herein, to reflect the foregoing changes. 
 
1.2 Purpose.    The purpose of the Plan is to give the Company a competitive advantage in attracting, retaining and motivating officers, employees, directors and consultants of the Company and
its Affiliates.

participant to substantially perform his or her employment duties in any material respect (other than such failure resulting from Disability), after a written demand for substantial performance is delivered to the participant that specifically
identifies the manner in which the Company believes the participant has failed to perform his or her duties, and after the participant has failed to resume substantial performance of his or her duties within thirty (30) days of such demand; or (C)

number of Stock Options, shares of Restricted Stock or Performance Units, as applicable into which a Dividend Equivalent Right will be converted will be calculated, as of the dividend payment date, in accordance with the formula set forth above,
except that “B” will equal the fair market value per share of the property which the participant would

participant on the dividend payment date was a share of Common Stock.

2.2 Other Definitions.    In

SECTION 3.    ADMINISTRATION 
 
3.1 Committee Administration.    The Committee is the administrator of the Plan. Among other things, the
Committee has the authority, subject to the terms of the Plan: 
 

	 	(a)	 	To select the Eligible Individuals to whom Awards are granted; 

 

	 	(b)	 	To determine whether and to what extent Awards are granted; 

 

	 	(c)	 	To determine the amount of each Award; 

 

	 	(d)	 	To determine the terms and conditions of any Award, including, but not limited to, the option price, any vesting condition, restriction or limitation regarding any
Award and the shares of Common Stock relating thereto, based on such factors as the Committee will determine; 

 

	 	(e)	 	To modify, amend or adjust the terms and conditions of any Award, at any time or from time to time; 

 

	 	(f)	 	To determine to what extent and under what circumstances Common Stock and other amounts payable with respect to an Award will be deferred; and


 

	 	(g)	 	To determine under what circumstances an Award may be settled in cash or Common Stock or a combination of cash and Common Stock. 

 
The Committee has the authority to adopt, alter and repeal

administration of the Plan. 
 

6 







 
3.2
Committee Action.    The Committee may act only by a majority of its members then in office unless it allocates or delegates its authority to a Committee member or other person to act on its behalf. Except to the
extent prohibited by applicable law or applicable rules of a stock exchange, the Committee may allocate all or any portion of its responsibilities and powers to any one or more of its members and may delegate all or any part of its responsibilities
and powers to any other person or persons. Any such allocation or delegation may be revoked by the Committee at any time. 
 
Any determination made by the Committee or its delegate with respect to any Award will be made in the sole discretion of the Committee or
such delegate. All decisions of the Committee or its delegate are final, conclusive and binding on all parties. 
 
3.3 Board Authority.    Any authority granted to the Committee may also be exercised by the full Board.
To the extent that any permitted action taken by the Board conflicts with action taken by the Committee, the Board action will control. 
 
SECTION 4.    SHARES 
 
4.1 Shares Available For Issuance.    The maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be delivered
to participants and their beneficiaries under the Plan will be 7,244,337. Shares subject to an Award under the Plan may be authorized and unissued shares or may be treasury shares. 
 
For periods beginning on and after the Effective Date, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may
be subject to Management Incentive Awards, Restricted Stock and Performance Units is 857,882 shares of Common Stock as adjusted as a result of the Spinoff. 
 
No Award will be counted against the shares available for delivery under the Plan if the Award is payable to the participant only in the
form of cash, or if the Award is paid to the participant in cash. 
 
If any Award is forfeited, or if any Stock Option (and any related Stock Appreciation Right) terminates, expires or lapses without being exercised, or if any Stock Appreciation Right is exercised for cash, the shares of
Common Stock subject to such Awards will again be available for delivery in connection with Awards under the Plan. If the option price of any Stock Option granted under the Plan is satisfied by delivering shares of Common Stock to the Company (by
either actual delivery or by attestation), only the number of shares of Common Stock delivered to the participant, net of the shares of Common Stock delivered or attested to, will be deemed delivered for purposes of determining the maximum numbers
of shares of Common Stock available for delivery under the Plan. To the extent any shares of Common Stock subject to an Award are not delivered to a participant because such shares are used to satisfy an applicable tax-withholding obligation, such
shares will not be deemed to have been delivered for purposes of determining the maximum number of shares of Common Stock available for delivery under the Plan. 
 
In the event of any corporate event or transaction, (including, but not limited to, a change in the number of
shares of Common Stock outstanding), such as a stock split, merger, 

 

7 








consolidation, separation, including a spin-off or other distribution of stock or property of the Company, any reorganization (whether or not
such reorganization comes within the definition of such term in Section 368 of the Code) or any partial or complete liquidation of the Company, the Committee may make such substitution or adjustments in the aggregate number, kind, and price of
shares reserved for issuance under the Plan, and the maximum limitation upon any Awards to be granted to any participant, in the number, kind and price of shares subject to outstanding Awards granted under the Plan and/or such other equitable
substitution or adjustments as it may determine to be appropriate; provided, however, that the number of shares subject to any Award will always be a whole number. Such adjusted price will be used to determine the amount payable in cash or shares,
as applicable, by the Company upon the exercise of any Award. [Note that as a result of the Spin-off, for any Stock Options granted on or before December 31, 2001, the Option Prices for such Stock Options had been adjusted by a factor of .5245476
pursuant to this Section 4.1.] 
 
4.2
Individual Limits.    No participant may be granted Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights covering in excess of 500,000 shares of Common Stock in any calendar year, provided, however that his prohibition shall
not apply to the extent Common Stock subject to a Stock Option granted prior to December 31, 2001, when adjusted as a result of the Spin-off, exceeded 500,000 shares for an individual participant in a calendar year. The maximum aggregate amount with
respect to each Management Incentive Award, Award of performance Units or Award of Restricted Stock that may be granted, or, that may vest, as applicable, in any calendar year for any individual participant is 500,000 shares of Common Stock, or the
dollar equivalent of 500,000 shares of Common Stock, provided, however that this prohibition shall not apply to awards granted prior to December 31, 2001, to the extent that when adjusted as a result of the Spin-off, the limits in this sentence are
exceeded. 
 
SECTION
5.    ELIGIBILITY 
 
Awards may be granted under the Plan to Eligible Individuals. Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to employees of the Company and its subsidiaries or parent corporation (within the meaning of Section 424(f) of the Code).

 
SECTION 6.     TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF
AWARDS 
 
6.1
General.    Awards will be in the form and upon the terms and conditions as determined by the Committee, subject to the terms of the Plan. The Committee is authorized to grant Awards independent of, or in addition to
other Awards granted under the Plan. The terms and conditions of each Award may vary from other Awards. Awards will be evidenced by Notices, the terms and conditions of which will be consistent with the terms of the Plan and will apply only to such
Award. 
 
6.2 Expiration
Date.    Unless otherwise provided in the Notice, the Expiration Date of an Award will be the earlier of the date that is ten (10) years after the Grant Date or the date of the participant’s Termination of
Employment. 
 

8 







 
6.3
Vesting.    Each Award vests and becomes fully payable, exercisable and/or released of any restriction on the Vesting Date. The Vesting Date of each Award, as determined by the Committee, will be set forth in the
Notice. 
 
SECTION 7.    QUALIFIED
PERFORMANCE-BASED AWARDS 
 
The Committee
may designate a Management Incentive Award, or an Award of Restricted Stock or an Award of Performance Units as a Qualified Performance-Based Award, in which case, the Award is contingent upon the attainment of Performance Goals. 
 
SECTION 8.    MANAGEMENT INCENTIVE AWARDS

 
8.1 Management Incentive
Awards.    The Committee is authorized to grant Management Incentive Awards, subject to the terms of the Plan. Notices for Management Incentive Awards will indicate the Award Cycle, any applicable Performance Goals, any
applicable designation of the Award as a Qualified Performance-Based Award and the form of payment of the Award. 
 
8.2 Settlement.    As soon as practicable after the later of the Vesting Date and the date any
applicable Performance Goals are satisfied, Management Incentive Awards will be paid to the participant in cash, Common Stock, Restricted Stock or a combination of cash, Common Stock and Restricted Stock, as determined by the Committee. The number
of shares of Common Stock payable under the stock portion of a Management Incentive Award will equal the amount of such portion of the award divided by the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the date of payment. 
 
SECTION 9.    STOCK OPTIONS 
 
9.1 Stock Options.    The
Committee is authorized to grant Stock Options, including both Incentive Stock Options and Nonqualified Stock Options, subject to the terms of the Plan. Notices will indicate whether the Stock Option is intended to be an Incentive Stock Option or a
Nonqualified Stock Option, the option price, the term and the number of shares to which it pertains. To the extent that any Stock Option is not designated as an Incentive Stock Option, or, even if so designated does not qualify as an Incentive Stock
Option on or subsequent to its Grant Date, it will constitute a Nonqualified Stock Option. 
 
9.2 Option Price.    The option price per share of Common Stock purchasable under a Stock Option will be determined by the Committee and will not be less than
the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock subject to the Stock Option on the Grant Date. 
 
9.3 Incentive Stock Options.    The terms of the Plan addressing Incentive Stock Options and each Incentive Stock Option will be interpreted in a manner
consistent with Section 422 of the Code and all valid regulations issued thereunder. 
 
9.4 Exercise.    Stock Options will be exercisable at such time or times and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Notice. A participant can
exercise a Stock Option, in 
 

9 








whole or in part, at any time on or after the Vesting Date and before the Expiration Date by giving written notice of exercise to the Company
specifying the number of shares of Common Stock subject to the Stock Option to be purchased. Such notice will be accompanied by payment in full to the Company of the option price by certified or bank check or such other cash equivalent instrument as
the Company may accept. If approved by the Committee, payment in full or in part may also be made in the form of Common Stock (by delivery of such shares or by attestation) already owned by the optionee of the same class as the Common Stock subject
to the Stock Option, based on the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the date the Stock Option is exercised. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the right to make payment in the form of already owned shares of Common Stock applies only to shares
that have been held by the optionee for at least six (6) months at the time of exercise or that were purchased on the open market. 
 
If approved by the Committee, payment in full or in part may also be made by delivering a properly executed exercise notice to the
Company, together with a copy of irrevocable instructions to a broker to deliver promptly to the Company the amount of sale or broker loan proceeds necessary to pay the option price, and, if requested, by the amount of any federal, state, local or
foreign withholding taxes. To facilitate the foregoing, the Company may enter into agreements for coordinated procedures with one or more brokerage firms, but any loans by a broker in connection with an exercise shall be arranged between the broker
and the employee, and not by the Company. 
 
9.5
Settlement.    As soon as practicable after the exercise of a Stock Option, the Company will deliver to or on behalf of the optionee certificates of Common Stock for the number of shares purchased. No shares of Common
Stock will be issued until full payment therefor has been made. Except as otherwise provided in Section 9.8 Deferral of Stock Options Shares below, an optionee will have all of the rights of a stockholder of the Company holding Common Stock,
including, but not limited to, the right to vote the shares and the right to receive dividends, when the optionee has given written notice of exercise, has paid in full for such shares and, if requested, has given the representation described in
Section 18 General Provisions. The Committee may give optionees Dividend Equivalent Rights. 
 
9.6 Nontransferability.    No Stock Option will be transferable by the optionee other than by
will or by the laws of descent and distribution. All Stock Options will be exercisable, subject to the terms of the Plan, only by the optionee, the guardian or legal representative of the optionee, or any person to whom such Stock Option is
transferred pursuant to this paragraph, it being understood that the term “holder” and “optionee” include such guardian, legal representative and other transferee. No Stock Option will be subject to execution, attachment or other
similar process. 
 
Notwithstanding anything herein
to the contrary, the Committee may permit a participant at any time prior to his or her death to assign all or any portion without consideration therefor of a Nonqualified Stock Option to: 
 

	 	(a)	 	The participant’s spouse or lineal descendants; 

 

10 







 

	 	(b)	 	The trustee of a trust for the primary benefit of the participant and his or her spouse or lineal descendants, or any combination thereof;


 

	 	(c)	 	A partnership of which the participant, his or her spouse and/or lineal descendants are the only partners; 

 

	 	(d)	 	Custodianships under the Uniform Transfers to Minors Act or any other similar statute; or 

 

	 	(e)	 	Upon the termination of a trust by the custodian or trustee thereof, or the dissolution or other termination of the family partnership or the termination of a
custodianship under the Uniform Transfers to Minor Act or any other similar statute, to the person or persons who, in accordance with the terms of such trust, partnership or custodianship are entitled to receive the Nonqualified Stock Option held in
trust, partnership or custody. 

 
In such event, the
spouse, lineal descendant, trustee, partnership or custodianship will be entitled to all of the participant’s rights with respect to the assigned portion of the Nonqualified Stock Option, and such portion will continue to be subject to all of
the terms, conditions and restrictions applicable to the Nonqualified Stock Option. 
 
9.7 Cashing Out.    On receipt of written notice of exercise, the Committee may elect to cash out all or part of the portion of the shares of Common Stock for
which a Stock Option is being exercised by paying the optionee an amount, in cash or Common Stock, equal to the excess of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock over the option price times the number of shares of Common Stock for which the Stock
Option is being exercised on the effective date of such cash-out. In addition, notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the Committee, either on the Grant Date or thereafter, may give a participant the right to voluntarily cash-out the
participant’s outstanding Stock Options, whether or not then vested, during the sixty (60)-day period following a Change in Control. A participant who has such a cash-out right and elects to cash-out Stock Options may do so during the sixty
(60)-day period following a Change in Control by giving notice to the Company to elect to surrender all or part of the Stock Option to the Company and to receive cash, within thirty (30) days of such election, in an amount equal to the amount by
which the Change in Control Price per share of Common Stock on the date of such election exceeds the exercise price per share of Common Stock under the Stock Option multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock granted under the Stock Option as
to which this cash-out right is exercised. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any cash-out right would make a Change in Control transaction ineligible for pooling-of-interests accounting, the Committee may eliminate or modify such cash-out right.

 
9.8 Deferral of Stock Option
Shares.    The Committee may from time to time establish procedures pursuant to which an optionee may elect to defer, until a time or times later than the exercise of a Stock Option, receipt of all or a portion of the
shares of Common Stock subject to such Stock Option and/or to receive cash at such later time or times in lieu of such deferred shares, all on such terms and conditions as the Committee will determine. If any such deferrals are permitted, an
optionee who elects such deferral will not have any rights as a 

 

11 







stockholder with respect to such deferred shares unless and until shares are actually delivered to the
optionee with respect thereto, except to the extent otherwise determined by the Committee. 
 
SECTION 10.    STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS 
 
10.1 Stock Appreciation Rights.    The Committee is authorized to grant Stock Appreciation Rights,
subject to the terms of the Plan. Stock Appreciation Rights granted with a Nonqualified Stock Option may be granted either on or after the Grant Date. Stock Appreciation Rights granted with an Incentive Stock Option may be granted only on the Grant
Date of such Stock Option. Notices of Stock Appreciation Rights granted with Stock Options may be incorporated into the Notice of the Stock Option. Notices of Stock Appreciation Rights will indicate whether the Stock Appreciation Right is
independent of any Award or granted with a Stock Option, the price, the term, the method of exercise and the form of payment. 
 
10.2 Exercise.    A participant can exercise Stock Appreciation Rights, in whole or in part, at any time
after the Vesting Date and before the Expiration Date, or, with respect to Stock Appreciation Rights granted in connection with any Stock Option, at such time or times and to the extent that the Stock Options to which they relate are exercisable, by
giving written notice of exercise to the Company specifying the number of Stock Appreciation Rights to be exercised. A Stock Appreciation Right granted with a Stock Option may be exercised by an optionee by surrendering any applicable portion of the
related Stock Option in accordance with procedures established by the Committee. To the extent provided by the Committee, Stock Options which have been so surrendered will no longer be exercisable to the extent the related Stock Appreciation Rights
have been exercised. 
 
10.3
Settlement.    As soon as practicable after the exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right, an optionee will be entitled to receive an amount in cash, shares of Common Stock or a combination of cash and shares of Common
Stock, as determined by the Committee, in value equal to the excess of the Fair Market Value on the date of exercise of one share of Common Stock over the Stock Appreciation Right price per share multiplied by the number of shares in respect of
which the Stock Appreciation Right is being exercised. Upon the exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right granted with any Stock Option, the Stock Option or part thereof to which such Stock Appreciation Right is related will be deemed to have been
exercised for the purpose of the limitation set forth in Section 4 Shares on the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued under the Plan, but only to the extent of the number of shares delivered upon the exercise of the Stock
Appreciation Right. 
 
10.4
Nontransferability.    Stock Appreciation Rights will be transferable only to the extent they are granted with any Stock Option, and only to permitted transferees of such underlying Stock Option in accordance with the
Nontransferability provisions of Section 9. 
 
SECTION
11. RESTRICTED STOCK  
 
11.1
Restricted Stock.    The Committee is authorized to grant Restricted Stock, subject to the terms of the Plan. Notices for Restricted Stock may be in the form of a Notice and book-entry registration or issuance of one
or more stock certificates. Any certificate issued in respect 
 

12 







of shares of Restricted Stock will be registered in the name of such participant and will bear an
appropriate legend referring to the terms, conditions, and restrictions applicable to such Award, substantially in the following form: 
 
“The transferability of this certificate and the shares of stock represented hereby are subject to the terms and conditions,
including, but not limited to, forfeiture of the FMC Corporation Incentive Compensation and Stock Plan and a Restricted Stock Notice. Copies of such Plan and Notice are on file at the offices of FMC Corporation.” 
 
The Committee may require that the certificates evidencing
such shares be held in custody by the Company until the restrictions thereon will have lapsed and that, as a condition of any Award of Restricted Stock, the participant will have delivered a stock power, endorsed in blank, relating to the Common
Stock covered by such Award. The Notice or certificates will indicate any applicable Performance Goals, any applicable designation of the Restricted Stock as a Qualified Performance-Based Award and the form of payment. 
 
11.2 Participant
Rights.    Subject to the terms of the Plan and the Notice or certificate of Restricted Stock, the participant will not be permitted to sell, assign, transfer, pledge or otherwise encumber shares of Restricted Stock until
the later of the Vesting Date and the date any applicable Performance Goals are satisfied. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a participant may pledge Restricted Stock as security for a loan to obtain funds to pay the option price for Stock Options.
Except as provided in the Plan and the Notice or certificate of the Restricted Stock, the participant will have, with respect to the shares of Restricted Stock, all of the rights of a stockholder of the Company holding Common Stock, including, but
not limited to, the right to vote the shares and Dividend Equivalent Rights, if so granted. 
 
11.3 Settlement.    As soon as practicable after the later of the Vesting Date and the date any applicable Performance Goals are satisfied and prior to the Expiration
Date, unlegended certificates for such shares of Common Stock will be delivered to the participant upon surrender of any legended certificates, if applicable. 
 
SECTION 12. PERFORMANCE UNITS 
 
12.1 Performance Units.    The Committee is authorized to grant Performance Units, subject to the
terms of the Plan. Notices of Performance Units will indicate any applicable Performance Goals, any applicable designation of the Award as a Qualified Performance-Based Award and the form of payment. 
 
12.2 Settlement.    As soon
as practicable after the later of the Vesting Date and the date any applicable Performance Goals are satisfied, Performance Units will be paid in the manner as provided in the Notice. Payment of Performance Units will be made in an amount of cash
equal to the Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock multiplied by the number of Performance Units earned or, if applicable, in a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Performance Units earned, each as determined by the
Committee. The Committee may at or after the Grant Date give the participant a right to defer receipt of cash or shares in settlement of Performance Units for a specified period or until a specified event. Subject to any 

 

13 







exceptions adopted by the Committee, an election by a participant to defer must be made before the
commencement of the Award Cycle for the Performance Units. 
 
SECTION 13. OTHER AWARDS 
 
The Committee is authorized to make, either alone or in conjunction with other Awards, Awards of cash or Common Stock and Awards that are valued in whole or in part by reference to, or are otherwise based upon, Common Stock,
including, without limitation, convertible debentures. 
 
SECTION 14. CHANGE IN CONTROL 
 
14.1 Impact of Change in Control.    Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, in the event of a Change in Control, as of the date such Change in Control is determined
to have occurred, any outstanding: 
 

	 	(a)	 	Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights become fully exercisable and vested to the full extent of the original grant; 

 

	 	(b)	 	Restricted Stock becomes free of all restrictions and deferral limitations and becomes fully vested and transferable to the full extent of all or a portion of the
maximum amount of the original grant as provided in the Notice, or, if not provided in the Notice, as determined by the Committee; 

 

	 	(c)	 	Performance Units are considered earned and payable to the full extent of all or a portion of the maximum amount of the original grant as provided in the Notice, or,
if not provided in the Notice, as determined by the Committee, any deferral or other restrictions lapse and such Performance Units will be settled in cash or Common Stock, as determined by the Committee, as promptly as is practicable following the
Change in Control; and 

 

	 	(d)	 	Management Incentive Awards become fully vested to the full extent of all or a portion of the maximum amount of the original grant as provided in the Notice, or, if
not provided in the Notice, as determined by the Committee, and such Management Incentive Awards will be settled in cash or Common Stock, as determined by the Committee, as promptly as is practicable following the Change in Control.


 
The Committee may also make
additional substitutions, adjustments and/or settlements of outstanding Awards as it deems appropriate and consistent with the Plan’s purposes. 
 
14.2 Definition of Change in Control.    For purposes of the Plan, a “Change in Control” will
mean the happening of any of the following events: 
 

	 	(a)	 	An acquisition by any individual, entity or group (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act) (a “Person”) of beneficial
ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of 

 

14 








	 	 
twenty percent (20%) or more of either (1) the then outstanding shares of common stock of the Company (the “Outstanding Company Common
Stock”) or (2) the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of the Company entitled to vote generally in the election of directors (the “Outstanding Company Voting Securities”); excluding, however, the
following: (A) any acquisition directly from the Company, other than an acquisition by virtue of the exercise of a conversion privilege unless the security being so converted was itself acquired directly from the Company, (B) any acquisition by the
Company, (C) any acquisition by any employee benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained by the Company or any entity controlled by the Company, or (D) any acquisition pursuant to a transaction which complies with Subsections (1), (2)
and (3) of Subsection (c) of this Section 14.2; 


 

	 	(b)	 	A change in the composition of the Board such that the individuals who, as of the Effective Date, constitute the Board (such Board will be hereinafter referred to as
the “Incumbent Board”) cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board; provided, however, for purposes of this Section 14.2, that any individual who becomes a member of the Board subsequent to the Effective Date, whose
election, or nomination for election by the Company’s stockholders, was approved by a vote of at least a majority of those individuals who are members of the Board and who were also members of the Incumbent Board (or deemed to be such pursuant
to this proviso) will be considered as though such individual were a member of the Incumbent Board; but, provided further, that any such individual whose initial assumption of office occurs as a result of either an actual or threatened election
contest (as such terms are used in Rule 14a-11 of Regulation 14A promulgated under the Exchange Act) or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of a Person other than the Board will not be so considered as a
member of the Incumbent Board; 

 

	 	(c)	 	 Consummation of a reorganization, merger or consolidation, sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or acquisition by
the Company of the assets or stock of another entity (“Corporate Transaction”); excluding, however, such a Corporate Transaction pursuant to which (1) all or substantially all of the individuals and entities who are the beneficial owners,
respectively, of the Outstanding Company Common Stock and Outstanding Company Voting Securities immediately prior to such Corporate Transaction will beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than sixty percent (60%) of, respectively, the
outstanding shares of common stock, and the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, as the case may be, of the corporation resulting from such Corporate Transaction
(including, without limitation, a corporation which as a result of such transaction owns the Company or all or substantially all of the Company’s assets either directly or through one or more subsidiaries) in substantially the same proportions
as their ownership, immediately prior to such Corporate Transaction, of the Outstanding Company Common Stock and Outstanding Company Voting Securities, as the case may be, (2) no Person (other than the Company, any employee benefit plan (or related




 

15 








	 	 
trust) of the Company or such corporation resulting from such Corporate Transaction) will beneficially own, directly or indirectly, twenty
percent (20%) or more of, respectively, the outstanding shares of common stock of the corporation resulting from such Corporate Transaction or the combined voting power of the outstanding voting securities of such corporation entitled to vote
generally in the election of directors except to the extent that such ownership existed prior to the Corporate Transaction, and (3) individuals who were members of the Incumbent Board will constitute at least a majority of the members of the board
of directors of the corporation resulting from such Corporate Transaction; or 


 

	 	(d)	 	The approval by the stockholders of the Company of a complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company. 

 
14.3 Change in Control
Price.    For purposes of the Plan, “Change in Control Price” means the higher of (a) the highest reported sales price, regular way, of a share of Common Stock in any transaction reported on the New York Stock
Exchange or other national exchange on which such shares are listed during the sixty (60)-day period prior to and including the date of a Change in Control; or (b) if the Change in Control is the result of a tender or exchange offer or a Corporate
Transaction, the highest price per share of Common Stock paid in such tender or exchange offer or Corporate Transaction; provided, however, that in the case of Incentive Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights relating to Incentive Stock
Options, the Change in Control Price will be in all cases the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the date such Incentive Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right is exercised. To the extent that the consideration paid in any such transaction
described above consists all or in part of securities or other noncash consideration, the value of such securities or other noncash consideration will be determined by the Committee. 
 
SECTION 15.    FORFEITURE OF AWARDS 
 
Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, the
Committee may, in the event of serious misconduct by a participant (including, without limitation, any misconduct prejudicial to or in conflict with the Company or its Affiliates, or any Termination of Employment for Cause), or any activity of a
participant in competition with the business of the Company or any Affiliate, (a) cancel any outstanding Award granted to such participant, in whole or in part, whether or not vested or deferred, and/or (b) if such conduct or activity occurs within
one year following the exercise or payment of an Award, require such participant to repay to the Company any gain realized or payment received upon the exercise or payment of such Award (with such gain or payment valued as of the date of exercise or
payment). Such cancellation or repayment obligation will be effective as of the date specified by the Committee. Any repayment obligation may be satisfied in Common Stock or cash or a combination thereof (based upon the Fair Market Value of Common
Stock on the day of payment), and the Committee may provide for an offset to any future payments owed by the Company or any Affiliate to the participant if necessary to satisfy the repayment obligation. The determination of whether a participant has
engaged in a serious breach of conduct or any activity in competition with the business of the Company or any Affiliate will be made by the Committee in good faith. This Section 15 will have no application following a Change in Control.

 

16 







 
SECTION
16.     AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION 
 
The Committee may amend, alter, or discontinue the Plan or any Award, prospectively or retroactively, but no amendment, alteration or discontinuation may impair the rights of a recipient of any Award without the recipient’s
consent, except such an amendment made to comply with applicable law, stock exchange rules or accounting rules. 
 
No amendment will be made without the approval of the Company’s stockholders to the extent such approval is required by applicable
law or stock exchange rules, or, to the extent such amendment increases the number of shares available for delivery under the Plan, or changes the option price after the Grant Date. 
 
SECTION 17.     UNFUNDED STATUS OF PLAN 
 
It is presently intended that the Plan constitute an
“unfunded” plan for incentive and deferred compensation. The Committee may authorize the creation of trusts or other arrangements to meet the obligations created under the Plan to deliver Common Stock or make payments; provided, however,
that unless the Committee otherwise determines, the existence of such trusts or other arrangements is consistent with the “unfunded” status of the Plan. 
 
SECTION 18.     GENERAL PLAN PROVISIONS 
 
18.1 General
Provisions.    The Plan will be administered in accordance with the following provisions and any other rule, guideline and practice determined by the Committee: 
 

	 	(a)	 	Each person purchasing or receiving shares pursuant to an Award may be required to represent to and agree with the Company in writing that he or she is acquiring the
shares without a view to the distribution of the shares. 

 

	 	(b)	 	The certificates for shares issued under an Award may include any legend which the Committee deems appropriate to reflect any restrictions on transfer.


 

	 	(c)	 	Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, any Award, any Notice or any other agreements made pursuant thereto, the Company is not required to issue or deliver
any shares of Common Stock prior to fulfillment of all of the following conditions: 

 

	 	(i)	 	Listing or approval for listing upon notice of issuance, of such shares on the New York Stock Exchange, Inc., or such other securities exchange as may at the time be
the principal market for the Common Stock; 

 

	 	(ii)	 	Any registration or other qualification of such shares of the Company under any state or federal law or regulation, or the maintaining in effect of any such
registration or other qualification which the Committee deems necessary or advisable; and 

 

17 







 

	 	(iii)	 	Obtaining any other consent, approval, or permit from any state or federal governmental agency which the Committee deems necessary or advisable.


 

	 	(d)	 	The Company will not issue fractions of shares. Whenever, under the terms of the Plan, a fractional share would otherwise be required to be issued, the participant
will be paid at Fair Market Value for such fractional share by rounding down the number of shares received to the nearest whole number and paying in cash the value of the fractional share. 

 

	 	(e)	 	In the case of a grant of an Award to any Eligible Individual of an Affiliate of the Company, the Company may, if the Committee so directs, issue or transfer the
shares of Common Stock, if any, covered by the Award to the Affiliate, for such lawful consideration as the Committee may specify, upon the condition or understanding that the Affiliate will transfer the shares of Common Stock to the Eligible
Individual in accordance with the terms of the Award specified by the Committee pursuant to the provisions of the Plan. All shares of Common Stock underlying Awards that are forfeited or canceled revert to the Company. 

 
18.2 Employment.    The Plan
will not constitute a contract of employment, and adoption of the Plan will not confer upon any employee any right to continued employment, nor will it interfere in any way with the right of the Company or an Affiliate to terminate at any time the
employment of any employee or the membership of any director on a board of directors or any consulting arrangement with any Eligible Individual. 
 
18.3 Tax Withholding Obligations.    No later than the date as of which an amount first becomes
includible in the gross income of the participant for federal income tax purposes with respect to any Award under the Plan, the participant will pay to the Company, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Company regarding the payment of, any
federal, state, local or foreign taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with respect to such amount. Unless otherwise determined by the Company, withholding obligations may be settled with Common Stock, including Common Stock that is part
of the Award that gives rise to the withholding requirement; provided, that not more than the legally required minimum withholding may be settled with Common Stock. The obligations of the Company under the Plan will be conditional on such payment or
arrangements, and the Company and its Affiliates will, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct any such taxes from any payment otherwise due to the participant. The Committee may establish such procedures as it deems appropriate,
including making irrevocable elections, for the settlement of withholding obligations with Common Stock. 
 
18.4 Beneficiaries.    The Committee will establish such procedures as it deems appropriate for a
participant to designate a beneficiary to whom any amounts payable in the event of the participant’s death are to be paid or by whom any rights of the participant, after the participant’s death, may be exercised. 
 
18.5 Governing Law.    The
Plan and all Awards made and actions taken thereunder will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without reference to principles of conflict of laws. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in
the event an Award is granted to Eligible Individual who is employed or providing services outside 

 

18 








the United States and who is not compensated from a payroll maintained in the United States, the Committee may modify the provisions of the
Plan and/or any such Award as they pertain to such individual to comply with and account for the tax and accounting rules of the applicable foreign law so as to maintain the benefit intended to be provided to such participant under the Award.

 
18.6
Nontransferability.    Except as otherwise provided in Section 9 Stock Options and Section 10 Stock Appreciation Rights, or by the Committee, Awards under the Plan are not transferable except by will or
by laws of descent and distribution. 
 
18.7
Severability.    Wherever possible, each provision of the Plan and of each Award and of each Notice will be interpreted in such a manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law. If any provision of the Plan,
any Award or any Notice is found to be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, then (a) such provision will be deemed amended to and to have contained from the outset such language as will be necessary to accomplish the objectives of the
provision as originally written to the fullest extent permitted by law; and (b) all other provisions of the Plan and any Award will remain in full force and effect. 
 
18.8 Strict Construction.    No rule of strict construction will be applied
against the Company, the Committee or any other person in the interpretation of the terms of the Plan, any Award, any Notice, any other agreement or any rule or procedure established by the Committee. 
 
18.9 Stockholder
Rights.    Except as otherwise provided herein, no participant will have dividend, voting or other stockholder rights by reason of a grant of an Award or a settlement of an Award in cash. 
 

19
