          WHEREAS, the Company desires to amend the Plan to (i) amend the definitions of Performance

          NOW, THEREFORE, pursuant to the power of amendment contained in Section 5.2 of the Plan, the
Plan is hereby amended as follows, effective as of the date hereof:

     1. Section 1.2 is hereby amended by changing the definition of “Performance Period” to read as
follows:

“Performance Period” shall mean any period of not less than twelve months
designated by the Committee during which (i) the Performance Measures applicable to
an award shall be measured and (ii) the conditions to vesting applicable to an award

     2. Section 1.2 is further amended by changing the definition of “Restriction Period” to read
as follows:

“Restriction Period” shall mean any period of not less than thirty-six
months, with vesting no more favorable than annual ratable vests in equal
installments, designated by the Committee during which (i) the Common Stock subject
to a Restricted Stock Award may not be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged,
hypothecated or otherwise encumbered or disposed of, except as provided in this Plan
or the Agreement relating to such award, or (ii) the conditions to vesting
applicable to a Restricted Stock Unit Award shall remain in effect; provided,
however, that the thirty-six month vesting period shall not apply to Restricted
Stock Awards granted in lieu of salary or made in connection with a voluntary
election by an employee of the Company in lieu of a cash bonus.

     3. Section 3.3(c) is hereby amended by deleting the first sentence thereof and inserting the
following sentence in its place:

The Agreement relating to a Restricted Stock Unit Award shall specify (i) whether

thereof shall be entitled to receive, on a current or deferred basis, dividend
equivalents and, if determined by the Committee, interest on, or the deemed
reinvestment of, any deferred dividend equivalents, with respect to the number of
shares of Common Stock subject to such award.

 

 

     4. Section 3.5(c) is hereby amended by deleting the first sentence thereof and inserting the
following sentence in its place:

The Agreement relating to a Performance Share Unit Award shall specify (i) whether
such award may be settled in shares of Common Stock or cash or a combination thereof
and (ii) whether, subject to compliance with Section 409A of the Code, the holder
thereof shall be entitled to receive, on a current or deferred basis, dividend
equivalents and, if determined by the Committee, interest on, or the deemed
reinvestment of, any deferred dividend equivalents, with respect to the number of
shares of Common Stock subject to such award.

     5. Section 5.8(a) is hereby amended and restated as follows:

5.8 Change in Control. (a) In the event of a Change in Control, the Board
(as constituted prior to such Change in Control) may, in its discretion, take any of
the following actions or any combination of the following actions:

     (i) require that (A) all outstanding options and SARs shall immediately become
exercisable in full, (B) the Restriction Period applicable to any outstanding
Restricted Stock Award or Restricted Stock Unit Award shall lapse, (C) the
Performance Period applicable to any outstanding Performance Share, Performance
Share Unit, Performance Unit or Restricted Stock Award or Restricted Stock Unit
Award (if applicable) shall lapse, and (D) the Performance Measures applicable to
any outstanding award shall be deemed to be satisfied at the maximum, target or any
other level, provided that to the extent that any of the above awards constitute
“deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, there shall
be no acceleration in the time of payment of such awards unless the Change in
Control also constitutes a “change in control” within the meaning of Section 409A of
the Code and the regulations issued thereunder;

     (ii) require that shares of capital stock of the corporation resulting from
such Change in Control, or a parent corporation thereof, be substituted for some or
all of the shares of Common Stock subject to an outstanding award, with an
appropriate and equitable adjustment to such award as determined by the Board in
accordance with Section 5.7; or

     (iii) require outstanding awards, in whole or in part, to be surrendered to the
Company by the holder, and to be immediately cancelled by the Company, and to
provide for the holder to receive (A) a cash payment in an amount equal to (1) in
the case of an option, the number of shares of Common Stock then subject to the
portion of such option surrendered, multiplied by the excess, if any, of the highest
per share price offered to stockholders of the Company in any transaction whereby
the Change in Control takes place (but if such price is deemed to be greater than
the fair market value of the Common Stock, as determined under Section 409A of the
Code and the regulations issued thereunder, the price shall be

2

 

reduced to the fair market value as so determined), over the purchase price per
share of Common Stock subject to the option, (2) in the case of an SAR, the number
of shares of Common Stock then subject to the portion of such SAR surrendered,
multiplied by the excess, if any, of the highest per share price offered to
stockholders of the Company in any transaction whereby the Change in Control takes
place (but if such price is deemed to be greater than the fair market value of the
Common Stock, as determined under Section 409A of the Code and the regulations
issued thereunder, the price shall be reduced to the fair market value as so
determined), over the base price of the SAR, (3) in the case of a Stock Award, the
number of shares of Common Stock then subject to the portion of such award
surrendered, multiplied by the highest per share price offered to stockholders of
the Company in any transaction whereby the Change in Control takes place (but if
such price is deemed to be greater than the fair market value of the Common Stock,
as determined under Section 409A of the Code and the regulations issued thereunder,
the price shall be reduced to the fair market value as so determined), and (4) in
the case of a Performance Unit Award, the number of Performance Units then subject
to the portion of such award surrendered, the value of which shall be calculated at
the maximum, target or any other level; (B) shares of capital stock of the
corporation resulting from such Change in Control, or a parent corporation thereof,
having a fair market value not less than the amount determined under clause (A)
above; or (C) a combination of the payment of cash pursuant to clause (A) above and
the issuance of shares pursuant to clause (B) above, provided that to the extent
that any of the above payments would constitute the acceleration of “deferred
compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, the Committee shall
not require surrender of the portion of the outstanding award that constitutes
“deferred compensation” and will not make the payments described above with respect
to such portion of the outstanding award unless the Change in Control also
constitutes a “change in control” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and
the regulations issued thereunder.

     6. Section 5.9 is hereby amended by deleting the first sentence thereof and inserting the
following sentence in its place:

Subject to compliance with Section 409A of the Code, the Committee may, in its sole
discretion, (i) determine that the delivery of shares of Common Stock or the payment
of cash, or a combination thereof, upon the exercise or settlement of all or a
portion of any award made hereunder shall be deferred, or (ii) approve deferral
elections made by holders of awards.

     7. Section 5.15 is hereby amended by adding the following two sentences at the end thereof:

This Plan shall be interpreted and construed in a manner that avoids the imposition
of taxes and other penalties under section 409A of the Code. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, under no circumstances shall the Company be responsible for any taxes, penalties, interest or other losses or expenses incurred
by a participant due to any failure to comply with section 409A of the Code.

performance of and compliance with the terms and provisions hereof or of the Credit Agreement (as
amended hereby) by any Loan Party will, at the time of such performance, (a) violate or conflict
with any provision of its articles or certificate of incorporation or bylaws or other

are and shall continue to be in full force and effect and are hereby in all respects ratified and
confirmed. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Security Documents and all of the
Collateral described therein do and shall continue to secure the payment of all Obligations under

of any provision of any of the Loan Documents.

     5. Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts and by
different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered
shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same
agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Amendment by facsimile

in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such
prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such
prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable
such provision in any other jurisdiction.
