Exhibit 10.4


 


THE MANITOWOC COMPANY, INC.


2004 NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTOR STOCK AND AWARDS PLAN


Amended December 17, 2008, Effective January 1, 2005


 


Section 1.              Purpose and
Construction.


 


(a)           Purpose.  The Manitowoc Company, Inc. 2004
Non-employee Director Stock and Awards Plan (the “Plan”) has three
complementary purposes: (a) to promote the long-term growth and financial
success of The Manitowoc Company, Inc. (the “Company”); (b) to
induce, attract and retain highly experienced and qualified individuals to serve
on the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”); and (c) to assist the
Company in promoting a greater identity of interest between the Company’s
non-employee directors (“Non-employee Directors”) and its shareholders.  The Plan is designed to accomplish these
goals by providing Non-employee Directors with incentives to increase
shareholder value by offering the opportunity to acquire shares of the Company’s
common stock, receive incentives based on the value of such common stock, or
receive other incentives on the potentially favorable terms that this Plan
provides.


 


(b)           Construction.  Capitalized terms used in this Plan shall
have the meanings set forth in Section 12, unless the context otherwise
requires.


 


(c)           Effective
Date and Shareholder Approval.  This
Plan shall become effective only following its approval by the shareholders of
the Company.


 


Section 2.              Shares Reserved
Under this Plan.


 


(a)           Plan
Reserve.  An aggregate of two-hundred
and twenty-five thousand (225,000) Shares are reserved for issuance under this
Plan. The number of Shares covered by an Award under the Plan shall be counted
on the date of grant of such Award against the number of Shares available for
granting Awards under the Plan.  Any
Shares delivered pursuant to the exercise of an Award may consist, in whole or
in part, of authorized and unissued Shares or of treasury shares.


 


(b)           Stock
Split, Stock Dividend or Reverse Stock Split.  In the event of a stock split, stock dividend
or reverse stock split, of Shares, the number of Shares subject to this Plan
(including the number and type of Shares that may be granted as Restricted
Stock, Restricted Stock Units or issued pursuant to Options, to a Participant
in any fiscal year, and that may after the event be made the subject of Awards
under this Plan) and the number Shares subject to outstanding Awards, and the
grant, purchase and exercise price with respect to any outstanding Awards,
shall thereupon automatically be adjusted proportionately in a manner
consistent with such stock split, stock dividend or reverse stock split to
prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended
to be made under this Plan; provided, however, that the number of Shares
subject to any Award payable or denominated in Shares must always be a whole
number.  In the event that any such stock
split, stock dividend or reverse stock split would result in an outstanding
Award consisting of any fractional Share(s), the Committee may cancel such
fractional amount or grant an Award of an additional fractional amount so that
there is no


 

















 


fraction amount or
may make provision for a cash payment, in an amount determined by the Committee
to the holder of the Award that would include a fractional Share, in exchange
for the cancellation of such factional Share(s) (without any consent of
the holder of any such fractional Share), effective as of the time the
Committee specifies (which may be the time such stock split, stock dividend or
reverse stock split, is effective).


 


(c)           Other
Adjustment of Shares.  In addition to
the non-discretionary adjustment provisions of Section 2(b), if the
Committee determines that any dividend or other distribution (whether in the
form of cash, other securities, or other property, but not including a dividend
of Shares which is governed by Section 2(b)), recapitalization, stock
split, reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up,
spin-off, combination, repurchase or exchange of Shares or other securities of
the Company, issuance of warrants or other rights to purchase Shares or other
securities of the Company, or other similar corporate transaction or event
(collectively referred to as “Events”) affects the Shares such that an
adjustment is determined by the Committee to be appropriate in order to prevent
dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be
made available under the Plan, then the Committee may, in such manner as it may
deem equitable, adjust any or all of:  (i) the
number and type of Shares subject to the Plan and which thereafter may be made
the subject of Awards under the Plan; (ii) the number and type of Shares
subject to outstanding Awards; and (iii) the exercise price with respect
to any Option (collectively referred to as “Adjustments”); provided, however,
that Awards subject to grant or previously granted to Non-employee Directors
under the Plan at the time of any such Event shall be subject only to such
Adjustments as shall be necessary to maintain the proportionate interest of the
Non-employee Directors and preserve, without exceeding, the value of such
Awards; and provided further that the number of Shares subject to any Award
shall always be a whole number.


 


(d)           Predecessor
Plan.  After the Effective Date of
this Plan, the 1999 Non-employee Director Stock Option Plan will be frozen such
that (i) no future awards will be granted under the 1999 Non-employee
Director Stock Option Plan, (ii) the 1999 Non-employee Director Stock
Option Plan will exist solely to govern grants of awards made prior to the
Effective Date of this Plan, and (iii) any Shares that would have
otherwise been available for new grants under the 1999 Non-employee Director
Stock Option Plan will not roll over into this Plan and thus will not be
available for the purpose of granting Awards under this Plan.


 


(e)           Replenishment
of Shares Under this Plan.  The
number of Shares reserved for issuance under this Plan shall be reduced only by
the number of Shares actually delivered in payment or settlement of Awards,
including Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units.  If an Award lapses, expires, terminates or is
cancelled without the issuance of Shares under the Award, then the Shares
subject to, reserved for or delivered in payment in respect of such Award may
again be used for new Awards under this Plan. 
If Shares are issued under any Award and the Company subsequently
reacquires them pursuant to rights reserved upon the issuance of the Shares, if
Shares are used in connection with the satisfaction of tax obligations relating
to an Award, or if previously owned Shares are delivered to the Company in
payment of the exercise price of an Award, then the Shares subject to, reserved
for or delivered in payment in respect of such Award may again be used for new
Awards under this Plan.

Section 3.              Plan Administration
and Operation.


 


(a)           Administrative
Authority.  The Committee has full
authority to administer this Plan, including the authority to (i) interpret
the provisions of this Plan, (ii) prescribe, amend and rescind rules and
regulations relating to this Plan, (iii) correct any defect, supply any
omission, or reconcile any inconsistency in any Award or agreement covering an
Award in the manner and to the extent it deems desirable to carry this Plan
into effect, and (iv) make all other determinations necessary or advisable
for the administration of this Plan.


 


(b)           Awards.  The Committee has full authority to designate
from time to time which Non-employee Directors shall receive Awards under this
Plan.  The Committee may consider such
factors as it deems pertinent in selecting whether a Non-employee Director will
receive any Award(s) and in determining the types and amounts of Awards
and in setting any Performance Goals or other limitations.  In making such selection and determination,
factors the Committee may consider include, but will not be limited to: (a) the
Company’s financial condition; (b) anticipated profits for the current or
future years; (c) the Non-employee Director’s length of service on the
Board; and (d) other fees that the Company provides or has agreed to
provide to the Non-employee Director. 
The Committee’s decision to provide a Non-employee Director with an
Award in any year will not require the Committee to designate such person to
receive an Award in any other year.


 


(c)           Committee
Action and Delegation. A majority of the members of the Committee will
constitute a quorum, and a majority of the Committee’s members present at a
meeting at which a quorum is present must make all determinations of the
Committee.  The Committee may make any
determination under this Plan without notice or meeting of the Committee by a
writing that a majority of the Committee members have signed.  To the extent applicable law permits, the
Board may delegate to another committee of the Board any or all of the
authority and responsibility of the Committee. 
If the Board has made such a delegation, then all references to the
Committee in this Plan include such other committee or one or more officers to
the extent of such delegation.  Except to
the extent prohibited by applicable law, the Committee may also authorize any
one or more of their number or the Secretary or any other officer of the
Company to execute and deliver documents on behalf of the Committee.


 


(d)           Review
of Committee Decisions. All Committee determinations are final and binding
upon all interested parties and no reviewing court, agency or other tribunal
shall overturn a decision of the Committee unless it first determines that the
Committee acted in an arbitrary and capricious manner with respect to such
decision.


 


(e)           Committee
Indemnification. No member of the Committee will be liable for any act
done, or determination made, by the individual in good faith with respect to
the Plan or any Award.  The Company will
indemnify and hold harmless all Committee members to the maximum extent that
the law and the Company’s bylaws permit.


 


Section 
4.             Discretionary
Grants of Awards.


 


Subject to the terms of this Plan, including Section 7
below, the Committee has full power and authority to determine: (a) the
type or types of Awards to be 


 


3

















 


granted to each
Non-employee Director (i.e., Options, Restricted Stock and/or Restricted Stock
Units); (b) the number of Shares with respect to which an Award is granted
to a Non-employee Director, if applicable; and (c) any other terms and
conditions of any Award granted to a Non-employee Director.  Awards under this Plan may be granted either
alone or in addition to, in tandem with, or in substitution for any other Award
(or any other award granted under another plan of the Company or any
Affiliate).  The Committee may grant
multiple Awards and different types of Awards (e.g., Options, Restricted Stock
and/or Restricted Stock Units) to individual Non-employee Directors at the same
time.


 


Section 5.              Options.


 


(a)           Exercise
Price of Options.  For each Option,
the Committee will establish the exercise price, which may not be less than the
Fair Market Value of the Shares subject to the Option as determined on the date
of grant.  The Committee shall also
determine the method or methods by which, and the form or forms, including,
without limitation, cash, Shares, other securities, other Awards, or other
property, or any combination thereof, having a Fair Market Value on the
exercise date equal to the relevant exercise price, in which payment of the
exercise price with respect to any Option may be made or deemed to have been
made.


 


(b)           Terms
and Conditions of Options.  Subject
to the terms of the Plan, an Option will be exercisable at such times and
subject to such conditions as the Committee specifies, including, but not
limited to, any Performance Goals. 
Notwithstanding the preceding, each Option must terminate no later than
ten (10) years after the date of grant.


 


Section 6.              Restricted Stock and
Restricted Stock Units.


 


Subject to the terms of the Plan, each award of Restricted Stock and/or
Restricted Stock Units may be subject to such terms and conditions as the
Committee determines appropriate, including, without limitation, a condition
that one or more Performance Goals be achieved for the Non-employee Director to
realize all or a portion of the benefit provided under the Award.  However, any award of Restricted Stock and/or
Restricted Stock Units (regardless of whether such Award is conditioned upon
any Performance Goals) must have a restriction period of at least three (3) years.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
herein, all Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units awarded under this Plan
shall be payable only in Shares.  Any
Award of Restricted Stock Units must be paid before March 15 of the
calendar year after the calendar year in which the recipient has a fully vested
right to such Restricted Stock Units.


 


Section 7.              Effect of
Termination of Membership on the Board.


 


(a)           Award
Limitations.  Subject to the
limitations set forth in Section 7(b) below, the Committee shall, in
its discretion, determine whether to impose any Award Agreement provisions or
limitation concerning what will happen to any outstanding Award(s) when
the Non-employee Director ceases to be a member of the Board for any
reason.  The restrictions under Section 7(b) and
any other limitations imposed by the Committee under this Section 7(a) must
be included in the Award Agreement. 
Unless otherwise stated under the 


 


4

















 


Award Agreement, if a
Non-employee Director ceases to be a member of the Board for any reason other
than the Non-employee Director’s retirement due to reaching the mandatory
retirement age established by the Board, or other than death or disability (as
determined by the Committee), as to Awards held by that Non-employee Director
on the effective date of such termination of Board membership, unless the
Committee, in its sole discretion, shall otherwise determine, all nonvested
options and all Restricted Stock as to which all restrictions have not lapsed,
and all Restricted Stock Units for which the Performance Goals have not been
fully satisfied shall be immediately forfeited. 
Upon the retirement (due to reaching the mandatory retirement age
established by the Board), death or disability of a Non-employee Director, all
Options held by the Non-employee Director shall fully and immediately vest, all
restrictions with respect to Restricted Stock held by the Non-employee Director
shall immediately lapse, and all Performance Goals with respect to Restricted
Stock Units held by the Non-employee Director shall be deemed immediately
satisfied.  In such event or if the
Committee otherwise determines not to require immediate forfeiture upon the
occurrence of some other event where the Non-employee director ceases to be a
member of the Board, then the maximum exercise period which may be permitted
for Options following such termination of Board membership shall be the shorter
of one year or the scheduled expiration date of the Award.


 


(b)           Fraud and Misconduct.  Notwithstanding any provision in this Plan or
in any Award Agreement, if a Non-employee Director ceases being a director of
the Company due to any of the following act(s), then all Awards
previously granted to such Non-employee Director shall immediately be forfeited
as of the date of the first such act: (i) fraud or intentional
misrepresentation; (ii) embezzlement, misappropriation or conversion of
assets or opportunities of the Company or any Affiliate of the Company; or (iii) any
other gross or willful misconduct as determined by the Committee, in its sole
and conclusive discretion.


 


Section 8.              Non-Transferability.


 


Except as otherwise provided in this Section, or as
the Committee otherwise provides, each Award granted under this Plan is not
transferable by a Non-employee Director: 
(a) until such Option has been exercised and/or the limitations on
the Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units have lapsed or been satisfied;
or (b) by will or the laws of descent and distribution.  During the lifetime of the Non-employee
Director such Awards may be exercised only by the Non-employee Director or the
Non-employee Director’s legal representative or by the permitted transferee of
such Non-employee Director as hereinafter provided (or by the legal
representative of such permitted transferee). 
Unless otherwise prohibited by the Award Agreement, a Non-employee
Director may transfer Awards to (i) his or her spouse, children or
grandchildren (“Immediate Family Members”); (ii) a trust or trusts for the
exclusive benefit of such Immediate Family Members; or (iii) a partnership
in which such Immediate Family Members are the only partners.  The transfer will be effective only if the
Non-employee Director receives no consideration for such transfer.  Subsequent transfers of transferred Awards
are prohibited except transfers to those persons or entities to which the Non-employee
Director could have transferred such Awards, or transfers otherwise in
accordance with this Section.


 


Section 9.              Amendment and
Termination of the Plan and Awards.


 


5

















 


(a)           Term
of Plan.  This Plan will terminate
on, and no Award may be granted after, the ten (10) year anniversary of
the Effective Date, unless the Board earlier terminates this Plan pursuant to Section 9(b).


 


(b)           Termination
and Amendment.  The Board may amend,
alter, suspend, discontinue or terminate this Plan at any time, subject to
shareholder approval if: (i) shareholder approval of such amendment(s) is
required under the Exchange Act; (ii) shareholder approval of such
amendment(s) is required under the listing requirements of the New York
Stock Exchange or any principal securities exchange or market on which the
Shares are then traded (to maintain the listing or quotation of the Shares on
that exchange); or (iii) the amendment will: [a] materially increase
any number of Shares specified in Section 2(a) (except as permitted
by Section 2(b)); [b] shorten the restriction periods specified in Section 6(b);
or [c] modify the provisions of Section 9(e).


 


(c)           Amendment,
Modification or Cancellation of Awards. 
Except as provided in Section 9(e) and subject to the
requirements of this Plan, the Committee may waive any restrictions or
conditions applicable to any Award or the exercise of the Award, and the
Committee may modify, amend, or cancel any of the other terms and conditions
applicable to any Awards by mutual agreement between the Committee and the
Non-employee Director or any other persons as may then have an interest in the
Award, so long as any amendment or modification does not increase the number of
Shares issuable under this Plan (except as permitted by Section 2(b)), but
the Committee need not obtain the Non-employee Director’s (or other interested
party’s) consent for the cancellation of an Award pursuant to the provisions of
Section 2(b).  Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Plan, the Committee shall have sole discretion
to alter the selected Performance Goals.


 


(d)           Survival
of Committee Authority and Awards. 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the authority of the Committee to
administer this Plan and modify or amend an Award may extend beyond the date of
this Plan’s termination.  In addition,
termination of this Plan will not affect the rights of Non-employee Directors
with respect to Awards previously granted to them, and all unexpired Awards
will continue in force and effect after termination of this Plan except as they
may lapse or be terminated by their own terms and conditions.


 


(e)           Repricing
Prohibited.  Notwithstanding anything
in this Plan to the contrary, and except for the adjustments provided in Section 2(b),
neither the Committee nor any other person may decrease the exercise price for
any outstanding Option granted under this Plan after the date of grant nor
allow a Non-employee Director to surrender an outstanding Option granted under
this Plan to the Company as consideration for the grant of a new Option with a
lower exercise price.


 


Section 10.            Change of Control.  Except to the extent the Committee provides a
result more favorable to holders of Awards or as otherwise set forth in an
Agreement covering an Award, in the event of a Change of Control, the following
rules shall apply.


 


(a)           Options.  Each holder of an Option (a) shall have
the right at any time thereafter to exercise the Option in full whether or not
the Option was theretofore exercisable; and (b) shall have the right,
exercisable by written notice to the Company within sixty (60) days


 


6

















 


after the change
of Control, to receive, in exchange for the surrender of the Option, an amount
of cash equal to the excess of the Change of Control Price of the Shares
covered by the Option that is so surrendered over the exercise price of such
Shares under the Award;


 


(b)           Restricted Stock.  Restricted Stock that is not then vested
shall vest upon the date of the Change of Control and each holder of such
Restricted Stock shall have the right, exercisable by written notice to the
Company within sixty (60) days after the Change of Control, to receive, in
exchange for the surrender of such Restricted Stock, an amount of cash equal to
the Change of Control Price of such Restricted Stock;


 


(c)           Restricted Stock
Units.  Each holder of a Restricted
Stock Unit for which the performance period has not expired shall have the
right, exercisable by written notice to the Company within sixty (60) days
after the Change of Control, to receive, in exchange for the surrender of the
Restricted Stock Unit, a number of Shares equal to the product of the number of
Restricted Stock Units and a fraction the numerator of which is the number of whole
months which have elapsed from the beginning of the performance period to the
date of the Change of Control and the denominator of which is the number of
whole months in the performance period. 
Each holder of a Restricted Stock Unit that has been earned but not yet
paid shall receive the number of Shares equal to the number of such Restricted
Stock Units.


 


Section 11.            General Provisions.


 


(a)           Other
Terms and Conditions.  The grant of
any Award under this Plan may also be subject to other provisions (whether or
not applicable to the Award awarded to any other Non-employee Director) as the
Committee determines appropriate, including, without limitation, provisions
for: (i) one or more means to enable a Non-employee Director to defer the
delivery of Shares or recognition of taxable income relating to Awards or terms
and conditions as the Committee determines, including, by way of example, the
form and manner of the deferral election, the treatment of dividends paid on
the Shares during the deferral period or a means for providing a return to a
Non-employee Director on amounts deferred, and the permitted distribution dates
or events (provided that no such deferral means may result in an increase in
the number of Shares issuable under this Plan); (ii) the purchase of
Shares under Options in installments; (iii) the payment of the purchase
price of Options by delivery of cash or other Shares or other securities of the
Company (including by attestation) having a then Fair Market Value equal to the
purchase price of such Shares, or by delivery (including by fax) to the Company
or its designated agent of an executed irrevocable option exercise form
together with irrevocable instructions to a broker-dealer to sell or margin a
sufficient portion of the Shares and deliver the sale or margin loan proceeds
directly to the Company to pay for the exercise price;  (iv) giving the Non-employee Director
the right to receive dividend payments or dividend equivalent payments with
respect to the Shares subject to the Award (both before and after the Shares
subject to the Award are earned, vested or acquired), which payments may be
either made currently or credited to an account for the Non-employee Director,
and may be settled in cash or Shares, as the Committee determines; (v) restrictions
on resale or other disposition; and (vi) compliance with federal or state
securities laws and stock exchange requirements.


 


(b)           No
Fractional Shares.  No fractional
Shares or other securities may be issued or delivered pursuant to this Plan,
and the Committee may determine whether cash, other 


 


7

















 


securities or other property will be paid or transferred in lieu of any
fractional Shares or other securities, or whether such fractional Shares or
other securities or any rights to fractional Shares or other securities will be
canceled, terminated or otherwise eliminated.


 


(c)           Requirements
of Law.  The granting of Awards under
this Plan and the issuance of Shares in connection with an Award are subject to
all applicable laws, rules and regulations and to such approvals by any
governmental agencies or national securities exchanges as may be required.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Plan or any Award Agreement, the Company has no liability to deliver any Shares
under this Plan or make any payment unless such delivery or payment would
comply with all applicable laws and the applicable requirements of any
securities exchange or similar entity.


 


(d)           Governing
Law.  This Plan, and all agreements
under this Plan, should be construed in accordance with and governed by the
laws of the State of Wisconsin, without reference to any conflict of law
principles.  Any legal action or
proceeding with respect to this Plan, any Award or any Award Agreement, or for recognition
and enforcement of any judgment in respect of this Plan, any Award or any Award
Agreement, may only be brought and determined in a court sitting in the County
of Manitowoc, or the Federal District Court for the Eastern District of
Wisconsin sitting in the County of Milwaukee, in the State of Wisconsin.


 


(e)           Severability.  If any provision of this Plan or any Award
Agreement or any Award (i) is or becomes or is deemed to be invalid,
illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, or as to any person or Award, or (ii) would
disqualify this Plan, any Award Agreement or any Award under any law the
Committee deems applicable, then such provision should be construed or deemed
amended to conform to applicable laws, or if it cannot be so construed or deemed
amended without, in the determination of the Committee, materially altering the
intent of this Plan, Award Agreement or Award, then such provision should be
stricken as to such jurisdiction, person or Award, and the remainder of this
Plan, such Award Agreement and such Award will remain in full force and effect.


 


(f)            Other Arrangements.  Nothing contained in the Plan shall prevent
the Company or any Affiliate from adopting or continuing in effect other or
additional compensation arrangements for Non-employee Directors, and such
arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific
cases.


 


(g)           No Right to Remain
on Board.  The grant of an Award to a
Non-employee Director pursuant to the Plan shall confer no right on such
Non-employee Director to continue as a director of the Company.  Except for rights accorded under the Plan,
Non-employee Directors shall have no rights as holders of Shares as a result of
the granting of Awards hereunder.


 


(h)           409A Compliance.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
this Plan document, any Award or any accompanying forms or related material,
the Plan is designed and intended to operate such that all benefits hereunder
are exempt from the application of Code Section 409A.  Any provisions of this Plan document, any
Award, or any related material which conflict with or would be deemed to
violate the preceding stated intent shall be deemed limited, as determined by
the Committee in order to ensure the results contemplated in this Section.


 


8
















 


Notwithstanding the preceding statements, nothing in this Plan or any
related document is intended to provide individual participants or
beneficiaries with any guaranty, warranty or assurance of particular tax
treatment for benefits hereunder.


 


Section 12.            Definitions.


 


(a)           “Affiliate” shall mean
any corporation, partnership, joint venture, or other entity during any period
in which the Company owns, directly or indirectly, at least twenty percent
(20%) of the equity, voting or profits interest, and any other business venture
in which the Committee, in its discretion, both:  (i) determines that the Company has a
significant interest; and (ii) designates as an Affiliate for purposes of
this Plan.


 


(b)           “Annual
Meeting of the Shareholders” shall mean the annual meeting of shareholders of
the Company held each calendar year.


 


(c)           “Award”
means any grant of Options, Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units under
this Plan.


 


(d)           “Award
Agreement” means a written agreement, in such form (consistent with the terms
of this Plan) as approved by the Committee.


 


(e)           “Board”
shall mean the Board of Directors of the Company.


 


(f)            “Change of Control”
means the first to occur of the following with respect to the Company or any
upstream holding company:


 


(i)            Any “Person,” as that
term is defined in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act, but
excluding the Company, any trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under
an employee benefit plan of the Company, or any corporation owned, directly or
indirectly, by the shareholders of the Company in substantially the same
proportions as their ownership of stock of the Company, is or becomes the “Beneficial
Owner” (as that term is defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act),
directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing thirty
percent (30%) or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s then
outstanding securities; or


 


(ii)           The Company is merged
or consolidated with any other corporation or other entity, other than:  (A) a merger or consolidation which
would result in the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately
prior thereto continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by
being converted into voting securities of the surviving entity) more than
eighty percent (80%) of the combined voting power of the voting securities of
the Company or such surviving entity outstanding immediately after such merger
or consolidation; or (B) the Company engages in a merger or consolidation
effected to implement a recapitalization of the Company (or similar
transaction) in which no “Person” (as defined above) acquires more than thirty
percent (30%) of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding
securities.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, a merger or consolidation involving the Company shall 


 


9

















 


not be considered a
“Change of Control” if the Company is the surviving corporation and shares of
the Company’s Common Stock are not converted into or exchanged for stock or
securities of any other corporation, cash or any other thing of value, unless
persons who beneficially owned shares of the Company’s Common Stock outstanding
immediately prior to such transaction own beneficially less than a majority of
the outstanding voting securities of the Company immediately following the
merger or consolidation;


 


(iii)          The Company or any
subsidiary sells, assigns or otherwise transfer assets in a transaction or
series of related transactions, if the aggregate market value of the assets so
transferred exceeds fifty percent (50%) of the Company’s consolidated book
value, determined by the Company in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles, measured at the time at which such transaction occurs or
the first of such series of related transactions occurs; provided, however,
that such a transfer effected pursuant to a spin-off or split-up where
shareholders of the Company retain ownership of the transferred assets
proportionate to their pro rata ownership interest in the Company shall not be
deemed a “Change of Control”;


 


(iv)          The Company dissolves
and liquidates substantially all of its assets;


 


(v)           At any time after the
Effective Date when the “Continuing Directors” cease to constitute a majority
