2001 Omnibus Stock Awards Plan, as amended



 Exhibit 4.2 
  
 WORLD FUEL SERVICES CORPORATION 
 2001 OMNIBUS PLAN 
 (amended and restated October 26, 2004) 
  
 SECTION 1  
 GENERAL 
  
 1.1 Purpose. The World Fuel Services Corporation 2001 Omnibus Plan (the “Plan”) has been established by World Fuel Services Corporation (the “Company”), a Florida corporation, to: (i) attract and retain
persons eligible to participate in the Plan; (ii) motivate Participants, by means of appropriate incentives, to achieve long-range goals; (iii) provide incentive compensation opportunities that are competitive with those of other similar
companies; and (iv) further identify Participants’ interests with those of the Company’s other shareholders through compensation that is based on the Company’s common stock; and thereby promote the long-term financial interest of
the Company and the Subsidiaries, including the growth in value of the Company’s equity and enhancement of long-term shareholder return. 
  
 1.2 Participation. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, the Committee shall determine and designate, from time to time, from among the
Eligible Employees, those persons who will be granted one or more Awards under the Plan, and thereby become “Participants” in the Plan. 
  
 1.3 Operation, Administration, and Definitions. The operation and administration of the Plan, including the Awards made under the Plan, shall be
subject to the provisions of Section 4 (relating to operation and administration). Capitalized terms in the Plan shall be defined as set forth in the Plan (including the definition provisions of Section 8 of the Plan). 
  
 SECTION 2  
 OPTIONS AND SARS 
  
 2.1 Definitions. 
  
 (a)
The grant of an “Option” entitles the Participant to purchase shares of Stock at an Exercise Price established by the Committee. Any Option granted under this Section 2 may be either an incentive stock option (an “ISO”) or a
non-qualified stock option (an “NQSO”), as determined in the discretion of the Committee. An “ISO” is an Option that is intended to satisfy the requirements applicable to an “incentive stock option” described in
section 422(b) of the Code. An “NQSO” is an Option that is not intended to be an “incentive stock option” as that term is described in section 422(b) of the Code. 







 (b) A stock appreciation right (an “SAR”) entitles the Participant to receive, in cash or Stock
(as determined in accordance with Section 4.7), value equal to (or otherwise based on) the excess of: (a) the Fair Market Value of a specified number of shares of Stock at the time of exercise; over (b) an Exercise Price established
by the Committee. Such excess is sometimes referred to herein as the “Award Value” of an Option or SAR. 
  
 2.2 Exercise Price. The “Exercise Price” of each Option and SAR granted under this Section 2 shall be established by the Committee
or shall be determined by a method established by the Committee at the time the Option or SAR is granted; except that the Exercise Price shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the date of grant (or, if greater,
the par value of a share of Stock). 
  
 2.3 Exercise. An
Option and an SAR shall become exercisable in accordance with such terms and conditions and during such periods as may be established by the Committee, but in no event shall the Option remain exercisable after the five-year anniversary of the date
of grant. 
  
 2.4 Payment of Option Exercise Price. The
payment of the Exercise Price of an Option granted under this Section 2 shall be subject to the following: 
  
 (a) Subject to the following provisions of this subsection 2.4, the full Exercise Price for shares of Stock purchased upon the exercise of any Option
shall be paid at the time of such exercise (except that, in the case of an exercise arrangement approved by the Committee and described in paragraph 2.4(c), payment may be made as soon as practicable after the exercise). 
  
 (b) The Exercise Price shall be payable in cash or by tendering, by either
actual delivery of shares or by attestation, shares of Stock acceptable to the Committee, and valued at Fair Market Value as of the day of exercise, or in any combination thereof, as determined by the Committee. 
  
 (c) The Committee may permit a Participant to elect to pay the Exercise Price
upon the exercise of an Option by irrevocably authorizing a third party to sell shares of Stock (or a sufficient portion of the shares) acquired upon exercise of the Option and remit to the Company a sufficient portion of the sale proceeds to pay
the entire Exercise Price and any tax withholding resulting from such exercise. 
  
 2.5 Settlement of Award. Settlement of Options and SARs is subject to subsection 4.7. 
  
 SECTION 3  
 OTHER STOCK AWARDS

  
 3.1 Definitions. 
  
 (a) A “Stock Unit” Award is the grant of a right to receive shares
of Stock in the future. 







 (b) A “Performance Share” Award is a grant of a right to receive shares of Stock or Stock Units
which is contingent on the achievement of performance or other objectives during a specified period. 
  
 (c) A “Performance Unit” Award is a grant of a right to receive a designated dollar value amount of cash which is contingent on the achievement
of performance or other objectives during a specified period. 
  
 (d) A “Restricted Stock” Award is a grant of shares of Stock, and a “Restricted Stock Unit” Award is the grant of a right to receive shares of Stock in the future, with such shares of Stock or right to future delivery of
such shares of Stock subject to a risk of forfeiture or other restrictions that will lapse upon the achievement of one or more goals relating to completion of service by the Participant, or achievement of performance or other objectives, as
determined by the Committee. 
  
 3.2 Restrictions on
Awards. Each Stock Unit Award, Restricted Stock Award, Restricted Stock Unit Award, Performance Share Award, and Performance Unit Award shall be subject to the following: 
  
 (a) Any such Award shall be subject to such conditions, restrictions and contingencies as the Committee shall determine.

  
 (b) The Committee may designate whether any such Award being
granted to any Participant is intended to be “performance-based compensation” as that term is used in section 162(m) of the Code. Any such Awards designated as intended to be “performance-based compensation” shall be conditioned
on the achievement of one or more “Performance Measures”, to the extent required by Code section 162(m). The Performance Measures that may be used by the Committee for such Awards shall be based on any one or more of the following, as
selected by the Committee: revenues, earnings, stock price, total shareholder return, economic value added, cash flow, operating income, return on assets, return on equity, return on capital, return on revenues, and other operating profit criteria
including EBIT, EBITDA, pre-tax profit, and after-tax profit. For Awards under this Section 3 intended to be “performance-based compensation,” the grant of the Awards and the establishment of the Performance Measures shall be made
during the period required under Code section 162(m). 
  
 3.3
Other Restrictions on Restricted Stock Awards. In addition to any other restrictions set forth in the Plan, Restricted Stock Awards shall be subject to the following: 
  
 (a) Restricted Stock Awards subject to the achievement of performance objectives shall also be subject to a minimum vesting
period of one (1) year. 
  
 (b) Restricted Stock Awards not
subject to the achievement of performance objectives shall be subject to a minimum vesting period of three (3) years; provided that a pro-rata portion of such Awards may vest each year during the applicable vesting period. 







 (c) Notwithstanding 3.3(a) and (b) above, up to ten percent (10%) of the shares of Stock
available under the Plan may be granted as Restricted Stock Awards free of any vesting requirements. 
  
 SECTION 4  
 OPERATION AND ADMINISTRATION 
  
 4.1 Effective Dates. The Plan shall be unlimited in duration and, in
the event of Plan termination, shall remain in effect as long as any Awards under it are outstanding; provided, however, that no Awards may be granted under the Plan after May 27, 2009 (except for Awards granted pursuant to commitments entered
into prior to such five-year anniversary). 
  
 4.2 Shares
Subject to Plan. The shares of Stock for which Awards may be granted under the Plan shall be subject to the following: 
  
 (a) The shares of Stock with respect to which Awards may be made under the Plan shall be shares currently authorized but unissued or currently held or
subsequently acquired by the Company as treasury shares, including shares purchased in the open market or in private transactions. 
  
 (b) Subject to the following provisions of this subsection 4.2, the maximum number of shares of Stock that may be delivered to Participants and their
beneficiaries under the Plan shall be equal to the sum of: (i) 600,000 shares of Stock; and (ii) any shares of Stock available for future awards under any prior long-term incentive plan of the Company (the “Prior Plans”) as of
the Effective Date, and any shares of Stock that are represented by awards granted under this Plan or any Prior Plans which are forfeited, expire or are canceled without delivery of shares of Stock or which result in the forfeiture of the shares of
Stock back to the Company. 
  
 (c) To the extent provided by the
Committee, any Award may be settled in cash rather than Stock. To the extent any shares of Stock covered by an Award are not delivered to a Participant or beneficiary because the Award is forfeited or canceled, or the shares of Stock are not
delivered because the Award is settled in cash or used to satisfy the applicable tax withholding obligation, such shares shall not be deemed to have been delivered for purposes of determining the maximum number of shares of Stock available for
delivery under the Plan. 
  
 (d) If the exercise price of any
stock option granted under the Plan or any Prior Plan is satisfied by tendering shares of Stock to the Company (by either actual delivery or by attestation), only the number of shares of Stock issued net of the shares of Stock tendered shall be
deemed delivered for purposes of determining the maximum number of shares of Stock available for delivery under the Plan. 
  
 (e) Subject to paragraph 4.2(f), the following additional maximums are imposed under the Plan. 







 (i) The maximum number of shares of Stock that may be issued by Options intended to be ISOs shall be
600,000 shares. 
  
 (ii) The maximum number of shares that may be
covered by Awards granted to any one individual pursuant to Section 2 (relating to Options and SARs) shall be 150,000 shares during any one fiscal-year period. If an Option is in tandem with an SAR, such that the exercise of the Option or SAR
with respect to a share of Stock cancels the tandem SAR or Option right, respectively, with respect to such share, the tandem Option and SAR rights with respect to each share of Stock shall be counted as covering but one share of Stock for purposes
of applying the limitations of this paragraph (ii). 
  
 (iii) The
maximum number of shares of Stock that may be issued in conjunction with Awards granted pursuant to Section 3 (relating to Other Stock Awards) shall be 300,000 shares during any one fiscal-year period. 
  
 (iv) For Stock Unit Awards, Restricted Stock Awards, Restricted Stock Unit
Awards and Performance Share Awards that are intended to be “performance-based compensation” (as that term is used for purposes of Code section 162(m)), no more than 100,000 shares of Stock may be subject to such Awards granted to any one
individual during any one fiscal-year period. If, after shares have been earned, the delivery is deferred, any additional shares attributable to dividends during the deferral period shall be disregarded. 
  
 (v) For Performance Unit Awards that are intended to be
“performance-based compensation” (as that term is used for purposes of Code section 162(m)), no more than $2,500,000 may be subject to such Awards granted to any one individual during any one fiscal-year period. If, after amounts have been
earned with respect to Performance Unit Awards, the delivery of such amounts is deferred, any additional amounts attributable to earnings during the deferral period shall be disregarded. 
  
 (f) In the event of a corporate transaction involving the Company (including, without limitation, any stock dividend, stock
split, extraordinary cash dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination or exchange of shares), the Committee may adjust Awards to preserve the benefits or potential benefits of the Awards. Action
by the Committee may include: (i) adjustment of the number and kind of shares which may be delivered under the Plan, including but not limited to, increases in the limitations set forth in subsection (b) above and paragraphs
(i) through (v) of subsection (e) above; (ii) adjustment of the number and kind of shares subject to outstanding Awards; (iii) adjustment of the Exercise Price of outstanding Options and SARs; and (iv) any other
adjustments that the Committee determines to be equitable. 
  
 4.3
General Restrictions. Delivery of shares of Stock or other amounts under the Plan shall be subject to the following: 
  
 (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the Company shall have no liability to deliver any shares of Stock under the Plan or make any other
distribution of benefits under the Plan unless such delivery or distribution would comply with all applicable laws (including, without limitation, the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933), and the applicable requirements of any securities
exchange or similar entity. 







 (b) To the extent that the Plan provides for issuance of stock certificates to reflect the issuance of
shares of Stock, the issuance may be effected on a non-certificated basis, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law or the applicable rules of any stock exchange. 
  
 4.4 Tax Withholding. All distributions under the Plan are subject to withholding of all applicable taxes, and the
Committee may condition the delivery of any shares or other benefits under the Plan on satisfaction of the applicable withholding obligations. The Committee, in its discretion, and subject to such requirements as the Committee may impose prior to
the occurrence of such withholding, may permit such withholding obligations to be satisfied through cash payment by the Participant, through the surrender of shares of Stock which the Participant already owns, or through the surrender of shares of
Stock to which the Participant is otherwise entitled under the Plan. 
  
 4.5 Grant and Use of Awards. In the discretion of the Committee, a Participant may be granted any Award permitted under the provisions of the Plan, and more than one Award may be granted to a Participant. Awards may be granted as
alternatives to or replacement of awards granted or outstanding under the Plan, or any other plan or arrangement of the Company or a Subsidiary (including a plan or arrangement of a business or entity, all or a portion of which is acquired by the
Company or a Subsidiary). Subject to the overall limitation on the number of shares of Stock that may be delivered under the Plan, the Committee may use available shares of Stock as the form of payment for compensation, grants or rights earned or
due under any other compensation plans or arrangements of the Company or a Subsidiary, including the plans and arrangements of the Company or a Subsidiary assumed in business combinations. 
  
 4.6 Dividends and Dividend Equivalents. An Award (including without
limitation an Option or SAR Award) may provide the Participant with the right to receive dividend payments or dividend equivalent payments with respect to Stock subject to the Award (both before and after the Stock subject to the Award is earned,
vested, or acquired), which payments may be either made currently or credited to an account for the Participant, and may be settled in cash or Stock, as determined by the Committee. Any such settlements, and any such crediting of dividends or
dividend equivalents or reinvestment in shares of Stock, may be subject to such conditions, restrictions and contingencies as the Committee shall establish, including the reinvestment of such credited amounts in Stock equivalents. 
  
 4.7 Settlement of Awards. The obligation to make payments and
distributions with respect to Awards may be satisfied through cash payments, the delivery of shares of Stock, the granting of replacement Awards, or combination thereof as the Committee shall determine. Satisfaction of any such obligations under an
Award, which is sometimes referred to as “settlement” of the Award, may be subject to such conditions, restrictions and contingencies as the Committee shall determine. The Committee may permit or require the deferral of any Award payment,
subject to such rules and procedures as it may establish, which may include provisions for the payment or crediting of interest or dividend equivalents, and may include converting such credits into deferred Stock equivalents. Each Subsidiary shall
be liable for payment of cash due under the Plan with 







 respect to any Participant to the extent that such benefits are attributable to the services rendered for that Subsidiary
by the Participant. Any disputes relating to liability of a Subsidiary for cash payments shall be resolved by the Committee. 
  
 4.8 Transferability. Except as otherwise provided by the Committee, Awards under the Plan are not transferable except as designated by the
Participant by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. 
  
 4.9 Form and Time of Elections. Unless otherwise specified herein, each election required or permitted to be made by any Participant or other person entitled to benefits under the Plan, and any permitted modification, or revocation
thereof, shall be in writing filed with the Committee at such times, in such form, and subject to such restrictions and limitations, not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, as the Committee shall require. 
  
 4.10 Agreement With Company. An Award under the Plan shall be subject
to such terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the Plan, as the Committee shall, in its sole discretion, prescribe. The terms and conditions of any Award to any Participant shall be reflected in such form of written document as is determined by
the Committee. A copy of such document shall be provided to the Participant, and the Committee may, but need not require that the Participant sign a copy of such document. Such document is referred to in the Plan as an “Award Agreement”
regardless of whether any Participant signature is required. 
  
 4.11 Action by Company or Subsidiary. Any action required or permitted to be taken by the Company or any Subsidiary shall be by resolution of its board of directors, or by action of one or more members of the board (including a
committee of the board) who are duly authorized to act for the board, or (except to the extent prohibited by applicable law or applicable rules of any stock exchange) by a duly authorized officer of such company. 
  
 4.12 Gender and Number. Where the context admits, words in any gender
shall include any other gender, words in the singular shall include the plural and the plural shall include the singular. 
  
 4.13 Limitation of Implied Rights. 
  
 (a) Neither a Participant nor any other person shall, by reason of participation in the Plan, acquire any right in or title to any assets, funds or
property of the Company or any Subsidiary whatsoever, including, without limitation, any specific funds, assets, or other property which the Company or any Subsidiary, in its sole discretion, may set aside in anticipation of a liability under the
Plan. A Participant shall have only a contractual right to the Stock or amounts, if any, payable under the Plan, unsecured by any assets of the Company or any Subsidiary, and nothing contained in the Plan shall constitute a guarantee that the assets
of the Company or any Subsidiary shall be sufficient to pay any benefits to any person. 
  
 (b) The Plan does not constitute a contract of employment, and selection as a Participant will not give any participating employee the right to be retained in the employ of the 







 Company or any Subsidiary, nor any right or claim to any benefit under the Plan, unless such right or claim has
specifically accrued under the terms of the Plan. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, no Award under the Plan shall confer upon the holder thereof any rights as a shareholder of the Company prior to the date on which the individual fulfills
all conditions for receipt of such rights. 
  
 4.14
Evidence. Evidence required of anyone under the Plan may be by certificate, affidavit, document or other information which the person acting on it considers pertinent and reliable, and signed, made or presented by the proper party or parties.

  
 SECTION 5  
 CHANGE IN CONTROL 
  
 Subject to the provisions of paragraph 4.2(f) (relating to the adjustment of shares), and except as otherwise expressly provided in the Plan or the Award
Agreement reflecting the applicable Award, upon the occurrence of a Change in Control: 
  
 (a) All outstanding Options (regardless of whether in tandem with SARs) shall become fully exercisable. 
  
 (b) All outstanding SARs (regardless of whether in tandem with Options) shall become fully exercisable. 
  
 (c) All Stock Units, Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units, Performance
Shares, and Performance Units shall become fully vested. 
  
 SECTION 6 
 COMMITTEE 
  
 6.1 Administration. The authority to control and manage the operation and administration of the Plan shall be vested in the Compensation Committee
of the Board of Directors (the “Committee”) in accordance with this Section 6. The Committee shall be selected by the Board. If the Committee does not exist, or for any other reason determined by the Board, the Board may take any
action under the Plan that would otherwise be the responsibility of the Committee. 
  
 6.2 Powers of Committee. The Committee’s administration of the Plan shall be subject to the following: 
  
 (a) Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Committee will have the authority and discretion to select from among the Eligible Employees those persons
who shall receive Awards, to determine the time or times of receipt, to determine the types of Awards and the number of shares covered by the Awards, to establish the terms, conditions, performance and vesting criteria, restrictions, terms of
exercise and settlement, and other provisions of such Awards, and (subject to the restrictions imposed by Section 7) to cancel or suspend Awards. 







 (b) To the extent that the Committee determines that the restrictions imposed by the Plan preclude the
achievement of the material purposes of the Awards in jurisdictions outside the United States, the Committee will have the authority and discretion to modify those restrictions as the Committee determines to be necessary or appropriate to conform to
applicable requirements or practices of jurisdictions outside of the United States. 
  
 (c) The Committee will have full and complete authority and discretion to interpret the Plan, to establish, amend, and rescind any rules and regulations relating to the Plan, to determine the terms and provisions of
any Award Agreement made pursuant to the Plan, and to make all other determinations that may be necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan; it being the intention of the Plan that the Committee have the utmost authority and discretion
permitted by law in making decisions and performing its other functions under the Plan. 
  
 (d) Any interpretation of the Plan by the Committee and any decision made by it under the Plan is final and binding on all persons. 
  
 (e) In controlling and managing the operation and administration of the Plan, the Committee shall take action in a manner
that conforms to the articles and by-laws of the Company, and applicable state corporate law. 
  
 (f) In no event, however, shall the Committee have the power to cancel outstanding stock options or stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) for the purpose of replacing or re-granting such options or SARs with a
purchase price that is less than the purchase price of the original option or SAR. 
  
 6.3 Delegation by Committee. Except to the extent prohibited by applicable law or the 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 person or persons selected by it. Any such allocation or delegation may be revoked by the Committee at any time. 
  
 6.4 Information to be Furnished to Committee. The Company and
Subsidiaries shall furnish the Committee with such data and information as it determines may be required for it to discharge its duties. The records of the Company and Subsidiaries as to an employee’s or Participant’s employment,
termination of employment, leave of absence, reemployment and compensation shall be conclusive on all persons unless determined to be incorrect. Participants and other persons entitled to benefits under the Plan must furnish the Committee such
evidence, data or information as the Committee considers desirable to carry out the terms of the Plan. 
  
 6.5 Limitation of Liability. The Committee, each member thereof, and any other person acting pursuant to authority delegated by the Committee shall
be entitled, in good faith, to rely or act upon any report or other information furnished by any officer or employee of the Company, the Company’s independent auditors, consultants or any other agents assisting in the administration of the
Plan. Members of the Committee or any other person acting pursuant to authority delegated by the Committee, and any officer or employee of the Company acting at the direction or on behalf of 







 the Committee or other delegee shall not be personally liable for any action or determination taken or made in good faith
with respect to the Plan, and shall, to the extent permitted by law, be fully indemnified and protected by the Company with respect to any such action or determination. 
  
 6.6 Indemnification. Each person who is or shall have been a member of the Committee or of the Board shall be
indemnified and held harmless by the Company against and from any loss, cost, liability, or expense that may be imposed upon or reasonably incurred by him in connection with or resulting from any claim, action, suit, or proceeding to which he may be
a party or in which he may be involved by reason of any action taken or failure to act under the Plan and against and from any and all amounts paid by him in settlement thereof, with the Company’s approval, or paid by him in satisfaction of any
judgment in any such action, suit, or proceeding against him, provided he shall give the Company an opportunity, at its own expense, to handle and defend the same before he undertakes to handle and defend it on his own behalf. The foregoing right of
indemnification shall not be exclusive of any other rights of indemnification to which such persons may be entitled under the Company’s Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws, as a matter of law, or otherwise, or any power that the Company may
have to indemnify them or hold them harmless. 
  
 SECTION 7

 AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION 
  
 The Board may, at any time, amend or terminate the Plan, provided that no amendment or termination may, in the absence of written consent to the change by
the affected Participant (or, if the Participant is not then living, the affected beneficiary), adversely affect the rights of any Participant or beneficiary under any Award granted under the Plan prior to the date such amendment is adopted by the
Board; and further provided that adjustments pursuant to paragraph 4.2(f) shall not be subject to the foregoing limitations of this Section 7. Notwithstanding the foregoing, approval of the Company’s shareholders shall be required for
any of the following amendments to the Plan:
