terms and conditions:

     (a) Amount of Director Fees. Subject to Paragraph (d) of this Section 4.02,
each Eligible Director’s annual Director Fees for a Director Service Year shall
initially be set at $150,000; provided, however, that the Board may from time
to time, at the recommendation of the Committee, change the amount of Director

further, however, that the Board may from time to time, at the recommendation
of the Committee, authorize the payment of additional fees to the chair of any
committee of the Board who is an Eligible Director or to an Eligible Director
serving as the lead director.

     (b) Form of Payment. Except to the extent that an Eligible Director has
elected to receive a portion of his or her annual Director Fees in cash
pursuant to Section 4.04, Director Fees shall be paid exclusively in Stock
Deferrals, in accordance with Section 4.03.

     (c) Timing of Payments. Unless the Committee determines otherwise, subject
to Paragraph (d) of this Section 4.02,

          (i) that portion of an Eligible Director’s Director Fees for a Director
Service Year that are payable in Stock Deferrals shall be credited in arrears
to such Eligible Director’s Deferred Stock Compensation Account in accordance
with Section 4.03 in substantially equal quarterly amounts as of the last
business day of each fiscal quarter of the Company that ends within such
Director Service Year and

          (ii) that portion of an Eligible Director’s Director Fees for a Director
Service Year that is subject to a cash election made in accordance with Section
4.04 shall be paid in arrears in substantially equal quarterly cash payments as
of the last business day of each fiscal quarter of the Company that ends within
such Director Service Year, but in no event shall any such cash payments be
paid later than two and one-half (2 1/2) months
after the end of the calendar year in which the Director Service Year for

4

 

which
such Director Fees were earned.

     (d) Pro-Ration and Adjustment for Short Director Service Years. In the
event that a Director Service Year of an Eligible Director is less than 12
months, the amount of Director Fees payable to such Eligible Director in
respect of such Director Service Year (and the number, amount and timing of
quarterly payments of such Director Fees) shall be subject to pro-ration and
adjustment in such manner as the Committee, in its discretion, deems
appropriate to reflect such short Director Service Year.

     (e) Reports to Eligible Directors. As soon as practical after the close of
each fiscal quarter of the Company, the Company shall provide to each Eligible
Director a report containing such information regarding his or her Deferred
Stock Compensation Account, and changes therein during such quarter, as the
Committee deems appropriate.

     4.03 Stock Deferrals. Stock Deferrals credited under the Plan shall be subject to the
following terms and conditions:

     (a) General. On each day that Stock Deferrals are scheduled to be credited
in accordance with Paragraph (c) of Section 4.02, the Company shall credit each
Eligible Director’s Deferred Stock Compensation Account with a Stock Deferral
of a number of Shares (including fractional Shares) equal to (x) the dollar
amount of Director Fees payable as Stock Deferrals on such date to the Eligible
Director pursuant to Section 4.02 divided by (y) the Fair Market Value of a
Share on such date.

     (b) Dividends on Deferred Shares. If a dividend or distribution is paid on
Shares in cash or property other than Shares, then, unless the Committee
determines otherwise, each Eligible Director shall, on the date of payment of
the dividend or distribution to the holders of Shares, be paid in cash an
amount equal to (x) the number of Shares in respect of Stock Deferrals that
have been credited to such Eligible Director’s Deferred Stock Compensation
Account as of the date fixed for determining the stockholders entitled to
receive the dividend or distribution multiplied by (y) the amount of the
dividend or distribution paid per Share. If the dividend or distribution is
paid in property, the amount of the dividend or distribution for purposes of
the foregoing calculation shall be the fair market value of the property on the
date on which such dividend or distribution is paid. Amounts remaining in an
Eligible Director’s Deferred Stock Compensation Account pending completion of
installment payments elected pursuant to Paragraph (d) of this Section 4.03
shall continue to be subject to this Paragraph (b) until such Deferred Stock
Compensation Account is fully distributed.

     (c) Payment of Stock Deferrals. Subject to Paragraph (d) of this Section
4.03, Shares in respect of Stock Deferrals credited to a Deferred Stock
Compensation Account shall be issued in one lump-sum on the Payment
Commencement Date, but in no event shall any such Shares be issued later than
two and one-half (2 1/2) months after the end of
the calendar year in which the Payment Commencement Date occurs.

     (d) Election to Receive Installment Payments. Election to Receive
Installment Payments. An Eligible Director may elect, on a form and manner
prescribed by the Committee, to be issued Shares in respect of his or her Stock
Deferrals in annual installments rather than a lump sum, provided, however,
that (i) such election is made and received by the Committee prior to December
31 of the year preceding the Director Service Year to which such Stock
Deferrals pertain, and (ii) the payment period for the installment payments
does not exceed ten (10) years following the Payment Commencement Date.

     (e) Hardship Withdrawals. Upon the request of an Eligible Director, if the
Committee determines that the Eligible Director is confronted with an
unforeseeable emergency, the Committee may, in its sole and absolute
discretion, permit the issuance of Shares in respect of Stock Deferrals
credited to a Deferred Stock Compensation Account prior to the Payment
Commencement Date or, in the case of installment payments elected pursuant to
Paragraph (d) of this Section 4.03, after the Payment Commencement Date but
prior to the complete payment of the Eligible Director’s Deferred Stock
Compensation Account

5

 

 balance. For this purpose, an unforeseeable emergency is
an unanticipated emergency caused by an event that is beyond the control of the
Eligible Director, and that would result in severe financial hardship to the
Eligible Director resulting from an illness or accident of the Eligible
Director, the Eligible Director’s spouse, the Eligible Director’s beneficiary,
or the Eligible Director’s dependent (as defined in Section 152 of the Code,
without regard to Sections 152(b)(1), (b)(2), and (d)(1)(B) of the Code); loss
of the Eligible Director’s property due to casualty (including the need to
rebuild a home following damage to a home not otherwise covered by insurance,
for example, not as a result of a natural disaster); or other similar
extraordinary and unforeseeable circumstances arising as a result of events
beyond the control of the service provider. In addition, the need to pay for
medical expenses, including nonrefundable deductibles, as well as for the costs
of prescription drug medication, may constitute an unforeseeable emergency.
Finally, the need to pay for the funeral expenses of a spouse, a beneficiary,
or a dependent (as defined in Section 152 of the Code, without regard to
section 152(b)(1), (b)(2), and (d)(1)(B)) of the Code may also constitute an
unforeseeable emergency. The Eligible Director shall provide to the Committee
such evidence as the Committee, in its discretion, may require to demonstrate
that such emergency exists and financial hardship would occur if the withdrawal
were not permitted. The withdrawal shall be limited to the number of Shares
necessary to meet the unforeseen financial hardship if the Eligible Director
has an unexpected need for cash to pay for expenses incurred by him or her or a
member of his or her immediate family (spouse and/or natural or adopted
children), such as those arising from illness, casualty loss or death. Cash
needs arising from foreseeable events, such as the purchase or building of a
house or education expenses, will not be considered to be the result of an
unforeseen financial emergency.

The Shares subject to the hardship withdrawal shall be issued as soon as
practicable after the Board approves the payment and determines the number of
Shares that shall be withdrawn in a single lump sum from the Eligible
Director’s Deferred Stock Compensation Account. An Eligible Director shall not
participate in any decision of the Board regarding such Eligible Director’s
request for a hardship withdrawal under this Section 4.03(e).

     4.04 Election to Receive Cash in Lieu of Stock Deferrals. In lieu of Stock Deferrals, an
Eligible Director may elect to receive up to a maximum 50% of each quarterly payment of his or her
Director Fees payable in respect of a Director Service Year in cash, provided however, that
starting with elections made for Director Service Years beginning on or after January 1, 2011, the
Committee may determine that such maximum cash percentage shall be less than 50%. If no cash
election is in force for an Eligible Director in respect of a Director Service Year, payment of
Director Fees to such Eligible Director for such Director Service Year shall be made exclusively in
Stock Deferrals in accordance with Section 4.02. Cash elections under the Plan shall be subject to
the following terms and conditions:

     (a) Form and Manner of Cash Elections. Elections to receive cash payments
in lieu of Stock Deferrals shall be made on the form and in the manner
prescribed by the Committee for this purpose.

     (b) Timing of Cash Elections. Except as provided in the following sentence,
cash elections in respect of a Director Service Year must be made and received
by the Company prior to December 31 of the year immediately preceding the first
day of such Director Service Year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a cash
election in respect of either the Director Service Year beginning on the
effective date of the Plan or, if later, an Eligible Director’s first Director
Service Year under the Plan, must be made and received by the Company within 30
days after the start of such Director Service Year. Elections made after the
election deadline for a Director Service Year shall be void as to that Director
Service Year. Cash elections in respect of a Director Service Year may not be
revoked or modified on or after the election deadline for such Director Service
Year.

     (c) Subsequent Elections. An Eligible Director’s cash election in respect
of a Director Service Year shall remain in full force and effect as to the next
succeeding Director Service Year, and all subsequent Director Service Years,
unless the Eligible Director submits, prior to December 31 of the year
immediately preceding the first day of any such subsequent Director Service
Year, a new election

revoking or modifying the Eligible Director’s existing
cash election. For the avoidance of doubt, subsequent elections shall only be
applied on a prospective basis and shall not modify or revoke any elections
made with respect to a current or prior Director Service Year.

     (d) Timing of Cash Payments. Cash payments pursuant to this Section 4.04
shall be made in accordance with Paragraph (c) of Section 4.02.

ARTICLE V

SHARES SUBJECT TO THE PLAN; ADJUSTMENTS

     5.01 Shares Available. The Shares issuable under the Plan shall be authorized but unissued
Shares or Shares held in the Company’s treasury. Subject to adjustment in accordance with Section
5.03, the total number of Shares that may be issued under the Plan may equal but shall not exceed
in the aggregate 200,000 Shares. Moreover, any Shares that have been approved by Company
shareholders for issuance under the Company’s 2002 Compensation Plan For Non-Employee Directors
(the “2002 Plan”), but which have not been awarded under such 2002 Plan (or have been awarded, but
will not be issued due to expiration, forfeiture, cancellation, settlement in cash in lieu of
Shares or otherwise) and which are no longer available for issuance under such 2002 Plan for any
reason (including, without limitation, the termination of such 2002 Plan) shall be available for
issuance under this Plan in addition to the 200,000 Shares reserved hereunder.

     5.02 Adjustments. In the event of a change in the outstanding Shares by reason of any stock
split, reverse stock split, dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, Shares,
other securities or other property), extraordinary cash dividend, recapitalization, merger,
consolidation, split-up, spin-off, reorganization, combination, repurchase or exchange of Shares or
other securities, the exercisability of stock purchase rights received under the Rights Agreement,
the issuance of warrants or other rights to purchase Shares or other securities, or other similar
corporate transaction or event, if the Committee shall determine, in its sole discretion, that, in
order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made
available under the Plan, such transaction or event equitably requires an adjustment in the number
or kind of Shares that may be issued under the Plan, or in the number or kind of Shares underlying
a Stock Deferral or credited to a Deferred Stock Compensation Account, such adjustment shall be
made by the Committee and shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes under the Plan.

     5.03 Consolidation; Merger or Sale of Assets. Upon the occurrence of (i) a merger,
consolidation, acquisition of property or stock, reorganization or otherwise involving the Company
in which the Company is not to be the surviving corporation, (ii) a merger, consolidation,
acquisition of property or stock, reorganization or otherwise involving the Company in which the
Company is the surviving corporation but holders of Shares receive securities of another
corporation, or (iii) a sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets (as an entirety)
or capital stock to another person, any Stock Deferral credited hereunder shall be deemed to apply
to the securities, cash or other property (subject to adjustment by cash payment in lieu of
fractional interests) to which a holder of the number of Shares equal to the number of Shares the
Eligible Director would have been entitled, and proper provisions shall be made to ensure that this
clause is a condition to any such transaction.

     5.04 Fractional Shares. No fractional Shares shall be issued under the Plan. In the event that
an Eligible Director acquires the right to receive a fractional Share under the Plan, such Eligible
Director shall receive, in lieu of such fractional Share, cash equal to the Fair Market Value of
the fractional Share as of the date of settlement.

ARTICLE VI

AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION

     6.01 Amendment. The Plan may be amended at any time and from time to time by the Board without
the approval of shareholders of the Company, except that no amendment that increases the aggregate
number of Shares that may be issued pursuant to the Plan or materially modifies the eligibility
requirements for participation in the Plan shall be effective unless and until the same is approved
by the shareholders of the Company. No amendment of the Plan shall adversely affect any right of
any Eligible Director with respect to any Stock Deferral theretofore credited to the Eligible
Director’s Deferred Stock Compensation Account without such Eligible Director’s written consent.
For purposes of the preceding sentence, an amendment that accelerates the time period within which
any installment payments elected pursuant to Section 4.03(d) shall be paid shall not be considered
an amendment that adversely affects a right of such Eligible Director with respect to any Stock
Deferral.

     6.02 Termination. The Plan shall terminate upon the earlier of the following dates or events
to occur:

     (a) the adoption of a resolution of the Board terminating the Plan; or

     (b) the 10-year anniversary of the date of the Company’s 2003 Annual
Meeting. No Director Fees shall be paid and no Stock Deferrals shall be
credited to any Deferred Stock Compensation Accounts under this Plan after it
has been terminated. However, the termination of the Plan shall not alter or
impair any of the rights or obligations of any person, without such person’s
consent, under any Deferred Stock Compensation Account under the Plan;
except, however, that the Board, in its sole discretion, may, at any time
after the termination of the Plan and without the consent of the affected
individuals, accelerate the time period within which any installment payments
elected pursuant to Section 4.03(d) shall be paid, or determine that the
remaining balance of Deferred Stock Compensation Accounts under the Plan
shall be paid in one lump sum on such date as the Board shall determine.
Subject to the preceding sentence, any existing Stock Deferrals shall remain
in effect and shall continue to be governed by the terms of the Plan after
the Plan is terminated.

ARTICLE VII

GENERAL PROVISIONS

     7.01 Nontransferability of Awards. The rights to receive Shares hereunder shall not be subject
in any manner to alienation, anticipation, sale, assignment, pledge, encumbrance or transfer, other
than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution, by an Eligible Director, and no other
persons shall otherwise acquire any rights therein. Nothing in the preceding sentence, however,
shall bar the payment of all or a portion of an Eligible Director’s Director Fees or Deferred Stock
Compensation Account balance to such Eligible Director’s spouse pursuant to a qualified domestic
relations order as defined by Section 414(p) of the Code.

     7.02 No Implied Rights. Neither the establishment and subsequent operation of the Plan, nor
the payment of Director Fees, nor the crediting of Stock Deferrals to a Deferred Stock Compensation
Account, nor any other action taken pursuant to the Plan, shall constitute or be evidence of any
agreement or understanding, express or implied, that an individual has a right to continue as a
Director for any period of time or at any particular rate of compensation.

     7.03 No Rights as Stockholders. Neither the recipient of a Stock Deferral under the Plan nor
such person’s successor(s) in interest shall have any rights as a stockholder of the Company with
respect to any Shares underlying such Stock Deferral unless and until such time as certificates for
the Shares are registered in such person’s name.

     7.04 Nature of Payments. All Director Fees payable pursuant to the Plan are in consideration
of services rendered for the Company as member of the Board.

     7.05 Nature of Deferred Stock Compensation Accounts. Deferred Stock Compensation Accounts
established and maintained under the Plan, and all credits and adjustments to such Accounts, shall
be bookkeeping entries only and reflect a mere unfunded and unsecured promise by the Company to
issue Shares in the future. No Shares or other assets or funds of the Company shall be removed from
the claims of the Company’s general or judgment creditors or otherwise be made available until
Shares are actually issued to Eligible Directors or their heirs as provided herein. The Eligible
Directors and their heirs shall have the status of, and their rights to be issued Shares in
settlement of amounts credited to their Deferred Stock Compensation Accounts shall be no greater
than the rights of, general unsecured creditors of the Company. The Company may, however, in its
discretion, set aside funds in a trust or other vehicle, subject to the claims of its creditors, in
order to assist it in meeting its obligations under the Plan, if such arrangement will not cause
the Plan to be considered a funded deferred compensation plan under the Code.

     7.06 Securities Law Compliance. The obligation of the Company to issue Shares under the Plan
shall be subject to (i) the effectiveness of a registration statement under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, with respect to such Shares, if deemed necessary or appropriate by counsel to the
Company, (ii) the condition that the Shares shall have been be listed (or authorized for listing
upon official notice of issuance) upon each stock exchange, if any, upon which Shares may then be
listed, and (iii) all other applicable laws, regulations, rules and orders which may then be in
effect.

     Stock Deferrals under the Plan are intended to satisfy the requirements of Rule 16b-3 under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. If any provision of this Plan or of any grant of a Stock
Option would otherwise frustrate or conflict with such intent, that provision shall be interpreted
and deemed amended so as to avoid such conflict.

     7.07 Section 409A of the Code To the extent an Eligible Director
would otherwise be entitled to any payment that, under this Plan, constitutes
“deferred compensation” subject to Section 409A of the Code, such payments shall be
paid or provided to an Eligible Director only upon a “separation from service” as
defined in Treasury Regulation §1.409A-1(h). Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in the Plan or elsewhere, any payment or benefit under this Plan that is
exempt from Section 409A of the Code pursuant to Treasury Regulation
§1.409A-1(b)(9)(v)(A) or (C) shall be paid or provided to the Eligible Director
only to the extent that the expenses are not incurred, or the benefits are not
provided, beyond the last day of the Eligible Director’s second taxable year
following the taxable year in which the “separation from service” occurs; and
provided further that such expenses are reimbursed no later than the last day of
the third taxable year following the taxable year in which an Eligible Director’s
“separation from service” occurs. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein,
to the extent any expense reimbursement or the provision of any in-kind benefit
under this Plan is determined to be subject to Section 409A of the Code, the amount
of any such expenses eligible for reimbursement, or the provision of any in-kind
benefit, in one calendar year shall not affect the expenses eligible for
reimbursement in any other taxable year (except for any life-time or other
aggregate limitation applicable to medical expenses), in no event shall any
expenses be reimbursed after the last day of the calendar year following the
calendar year in which an Eligible Director incurred such expenses, and in no event
shall any right to reimbursement or the provision of any in-kind benefit be subject
to liquidation or exchange for another benefit. The Plan will be interpreted and
administered in a manner consistent with Section 409A of the Code.

     7.08 Governing Law; Severability. The Plan and all determinations made and actions taken
thereunder shall be governed by the internal substantive laws, and not the choice of law rules, of
the State of New York and construed accordingly, to the extent not superseded by applicable federal
law. If any provision of

9

 

the Plan shall be held unlawful or otherwise invalid or unenforceable in
whole or in part, the unlawfulness, invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect any other
provision of the Plan or part thereof, each of which shall remain in full force and effect.
