Dear                 :

        I
am pleased to inform you that you are eligible to participate in the Triumph Long Term Incentive Plan for
fiscal                        . Under this plan you are receiving an award with the
potential to earn $                        in long term incentive compensation for
the                        fiscal year. This award value is equivalent
to                        % of your [base
salary]. The award, if earned (as described below) provides for the potential receipt of shares of restricted stock granted under Triumph Group's 2004 Stock Incentive Plan (equal to
                        % of the award value) and cash (equal
to                        % of the award value). The number of shares of restricted stock to be issued if the award is earned will
be based upon the
Triumph Group stock price at the time the Compensation and Management Development Committee of the Board (the "Committee") determines that the award has been earned. 

        This
award will be earned by you if Triumph achieves [performance metric]
of                                    for
fiscal                        , [provided that the Committee
may, in its sole discretion, reduce or eliminate this award if [your company] [Triumph Group] does not report positive operating income for fiscal
                        ]. The determination as to whether the award is earned will be made by the Committee
within 90 days after the end of fiscal                        . If earned, the award will be subject to forfeiture
restrictions and will "vest" and become payable to you on                        
            ,                        , at which time you will receive
the cash portion of the award and the shares, fully released from all forfeiture restrictions, as long as you remain employed by
Triumph or one of its affiliates through that vesting date. 

        If
you have any questions about this award, please
contact                                    at Corporate
(                                    ). 

        Thank
you for your efforts and your contribution to the success of Triumph Group, Inc. 

Sincerely,

Dear            :

        Last
year you received a long term incentive award of $        , that would be earned if designated performance metrics (described below) were achieved, and that would be payable
            % in restricted stock and            % in cash. In order to earn this award, Triumph needed to achieve [insert
performance metric or goal] of at least
            for fiscal            [and [your company] [Triumph Group] needed to report positive operating income for the fiscal
year]. 

        I
am pleased to inform you that, because Triumph achieved actual            of $            for
fiscal            , exceeding the target, [and [your
company] [Triumph Group] achieved positive operating income for the year], the award is earned and you have received a grant of            
restricted shares of Triumph common stock under Triumph Group's 2004 Stock Incentive Plan (the Plan) and the right to receive $            in cash. Actual payment of the award will occur on
                    ,            , subject to your continued employment with Triumph, or
one of its affiliates up to that "vesting" date. Until that vesting date, the shares of
restricted stock and cash are subject to forfeiture back to Triumph if you do not remain so employed. 

        The
restricted shares are being issued under the Plan, and are subject to all provisions relevant to restricted Stock Awards under the Plan. Tax obligations will arise if and when the
award "vests" on the vesting date. In accordance with the authority delegated to the Compensation and Management Development Committee under Section 4(b) of the Plan, at the vesting date you
are hereby authorized to satisfy your withholding tax obligation by electing, in writing (which can be by electronic mail), to have Triumph withhold from the shares to be released from the forfeiture
restrictions under this award that number of shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the minimum amount required to be withheld. You may also elect to pay any tax withholding liability in cash. You
will receive additional communication about this process closer to the vesting date. 

        The
shares of restricted stock are issued and outstanding, and during the restriction period you are entitled to vote the shares and to receive any dividends paid on all outstanding
shares of common stock. No stock certificates will be released to you until the forfeiture restrictions lapse following the vesting date. 

        For
further information about the restricted shares issued to you, please consult the Prospectus and the Plan. Feel free to contact            at Corporate
(            ) if you
have any questions on these documents. 

        Thank
you for your efforts and your contribution to the success of Triumph Group, Inc. 

Sincerely

the Subsidiary is prohibited from purchasing or acquiring such shares of Common
Stock.

     

    (d)           To
the extent permitted by law, any grant may provide for deferred payment of the
Option Price from the proceeds of sale through a bank or broker of some or all
of the shares to which such exercise relates.

     

    (e)           Successive
grants may be made to the same Participant whether or not any Stock Options or
other Awards previously granted to such Participant remain unexercised or
outstanding.

grant may specify the Management Objectives that must be achieved as a condition
to the exercise of the Stock Options.

     

    (h)           Any
grant may provide for the earlier exercise of the Stock Options in the event of
a Change in Control or other similar transaction or event.

     

    (i)           Stock
Options may be (i) options which are intended to qualify under particular

event of death, disability or retirement.

     

    (l)           The
Committee will have the right to substitute Appreciation Rights for outstanding
Options granted to one or more Participants, provided the terms and the economic
benefit of the substituted Appreciation Rights are at least equivalent to the
terms and economic benefit of such Options, as determined by the Committee in
its discretion.

     

    (m)           Any
grant may provide for the effect on the Stock Options or any shares of Common

termination of employment or other termination of service by reason of
retirement, death, disability or otherwise.

     

    7.           Appreciation
Rights.  The Committee may also from time to time authorize
grants to any Participant of Appreciation Rights upon such terms and conditions
as it may determine in accordance with this
Section 7.  Appreciation Rights may be granted in tandem with
Stock Options or separate and apart from a grant of Stock Options.  An
Appreciation Right will be a right of the Participant to receive from the
Company or a Subsidiary upon exercise an amount which will be determined by the
Committee at the Date of Grant and will be expressed as a percentage of the
Spread (not exceeding 100%) at the time of exercise.  An Appreciation
Right granted in tandem with a Stock Option may be exercised only by surrender
of the related Stock Option.  Each grant of an Appreciation Right may

requirements, contained in the following provisions:

     

    (a)           Each
grant will state whether it is made in tandem with Stock Options and, if not

grant made in tandem with Stock Options will specify the Option Price and each
grant not made in tandem with Stock Options will specify the Grant Price, which
in either case will not be less than 100% of the Market Value per Share on the
Date of Grant.

     

    (c)           Any
grant may provide that the amount payable on exercise of an Appreciation Right
may be paid (i) in cash or other consideration, (ii) in shares of
Common Stock having an aggregate Market Value per Share equal to the Spread (or
the designated percentage of the Spread) or (iii) in a combination thereof,
as determined by the Committee in its discretion.

     

    (d)           Any
grant may specify that the amount payable to the Participant on exercise of an
Appreciation Right may not exceed a maximum amount specified by the Committee at
the Date of Grant.

     

    (e)           Successive
grants may be made to the same Participant whether or not any Appreciation
Rights or other Awards previously granted to such Participant remain unexercised

grant will specify the required period or periods of continuous service by the

Spread is positive
and, with respect to any grant made in tandem with Stock Options, when the
related Stock Options are also exercisable.

to the exercise of the Appreciation Rights.

     

    (h)           Any
grant may provide for the earlier exercise of the Appreciation Rights in the

    (i)           On
or after the Date of Grant, the Committee may provide for the payment to the
Participant of dividend equivalents thereon in cash or Common Stock on a
current, deferred or contingent basis.

     

    (j)           No
Appreciation Right will be exercisable more than ten years from the Date of
Grant.

     

    (k)           Any
grant may provide for the effect on the Appreciation Rights or any shares of
Common Stock issued, or other payment made, with respect to the Appreciation
Rights of any conduct of the Participant determined by the Committee to be
injurious, detrimental or prejudicial to any significant interest of the Company
or any Subsidiary.

     

    (l)           Each
grant will be evidenced by an Evidence of Award, which may contain such terms
and provisions, consistent with the Plan, as the Committee may approve,
including without limitation provisions relating to the Participant’s
termination of employment or other termination of service by reason of
retirement, death, disability or otherwise.

     

    8.           Restricted
Shares.  The Committee may also from time to time authorize
grants or sales to any Participant of Restricted Shares upon such terms and
conditions as it may determine in accordance with this
Section 8.  Each grant or sale will constitute an immediate
transfer of the ownership of shares of Common Stock to the Participant in
consideration of the performance of services, entitling such Participant to
voting and other ownership rights, but subject to the restrictions set forth in
this Section 8.  Each such grant or sale may utilize any or all
of the authorizations, and will be subject to all of the requirements, contained
in the following provisions:

     

    (a)           Each
grant or sale may be made without additional consideration or in consideration
of a payment by the Participant that is less than the Market Value per Share at
the Date of Grant, except as may otherwise be required by the Delaware General
Corporation Law or other applicable law.

     

    (b)           Each
grant or sale may limit the Participant’s dividend rights during the period in
which the shares of Restricted Shares are subject to any such
restrictions.

     

    (c)           Each
grant or sale will provide that the Restricted Shares will be subject, for a
period to be determined by the Committee at the Date of Grant, to one or more
restrictions, including without limitation a restriction that constitutes a
“substantial risk of forfeiture” within the meaning of Section 83 of the
Code and the regulations of the

    Internal
Revenue Service under such section.  Except as provided in Section
8(d), 8(e) or 12(d), the restrictions imposed on Restricted Shares will not
terminate at a rate that is faster than 1/3rd of the Restricted Shares on each
anniversary of the Date of Grant.

    (d)           Any
grant or sale may specify the Management Objectives that, if achieved, will
result in the termination or early termination of the restrictions applicable to
the shares, provided that the Performance Period associated with such Management
Objectives will be a period of no less than 12 calendar months.

     

    (e)           Any
grant or sale may provide for the early termination of any such restrictions in
the event of a Change in Control or other similar transaction or event or the
Participant’s termination of employment or service by reason of death,
disability, retirement or otherwise.

     

    (f)           Each
grant or sale will provide that during the period for which such restriction or
restrictions are to continue, the transferability of the Restricted Shares will
be prohibited or restricted in a manner and to the extent prescribed by the
Committee at the Date of Grant (which restrictions may include without
limitation rights of repurchase or first refusal in favor of the Company or
provisions subjecting the Restricted Shares to continuing restrictions in the
hands of any transferee).

     

    (g)           Any
grant or sale may provide for the effect on the Restricted Shares or any shares
of Common Stock issued free of restrictions, or other payment made, with respect
to the Restricted Shares of any conduct of the Participant determined by the
Committee to be injurious, detrimental or prejudicial to any significant
interest of the Company or any Subsidiary.

     

    (h)           Each
grant or sale will be evidenced by an Evidence of Award, which may contain such
terms and provisions, consistent with the Plan, as the Committee may approve,
including without limitation provisions relating to the Participant’s
termination of employment or other termination of service by reason of

the Company or a Subsidiary to deliver shares of Common Stock, cash or other
consideration to the Participant in the future in consideration of the
performance of services, subject to the fulfillment during the Deferral Period
of such conditions as the Committee may specify.  Each such grant or

the requirements, contained in the following provisions:

grant or sale may be made without additional consideration from the Participant
or in consideration of a payment by the Participant that is less than the Market

Delaware General Corporation Law or other applicable law.

     

    (b)           Each
grant or sale will provide that the Restricted Stock Units will be subject to a

Period will not terminate at a rate

that the Performance Period associated with such Management Objectives will be a
period of no less than 12 calendar months.

     

    (d)           Any
grant or sale may provide for the earlier termination of the Deferral Period in
the event of a Change in Control or other similar transaction or event or the
Participant’s termination of employment or service by reason of death,
disability, retirement or otherwise.

     

    (e)           During
the Deferral Period, the Participant will not have any right to transfer any
rights under the Restricted Stock Units, and will not have any rights of
ownership in or any right to vote any shares of Common Stock that may be issued
in settlement of Restricted Stock Units, but the Committee may on or after the
Date of Grant authorize the payment of dividend equivalents on such shares in
cash or Common Stock on a current, deferred or contingent basis.

     

    (f)           Any
grant or sale may provide for the effect on the Restricted Stock Units or any
shares of Common Stock issued free of restrictions, or other payment made, with
respect to the Restricted Stock Units of any conduct of the Participant
determined by the Committee to be injurious, detrimental or prejudicial to any
significant interest of the Company or any Subsidiary.

grant or sale will be evidenced by an Evidence of Award, which will contain such
terms and provisions as the Committee may determine consistent with the Plan,

Directors.

     

    (a)           Each
individual who first becomes an Eligible Director after December 31, 2008,
on a date subsequent to the first business day of a calendar year will be
granted (i) a number of Restricted Shares as of the date such individual
becomes an Eligible Director equal to $49,500 (if the individual becomes an
Eligible Director prior to July 1 of any year) or $24,750 (if the individual
becomes an Eligible Director on or after July 1 of any year) divided by the
Market Value per Share as of the date the individual first becomes an Eligible
Director, and (ii) a Stock Option as of the date the individual first
becomes an Eligible Director to purchase a number of shares of Common Stock
equal to $49,500 (if the individual becomes an Eligible Director prior to
July 1 of any year) or $24,750 (if the individual becomes an Eligible
Director on or after July 1 of any year) divided by the Fair Value (as
hereinafter defined).  For purposes of this Section ‎12‎(a),
an Eligible Director who ceases to be a member of the Board and thereafter
becomes an Eligible Director again will be deemed to first become an Eligible
Director on the date that such individual again becomes an Eligible
Director.

     

    (b)           On
the first business day of each calendar year beginning during the term of the
Plan and after December 31, 2008, each individual who is an Eligible
Director (i) will be granted as of such first business day a number of
Restricted Shares equal to $49,500 divided by the Market Value per Share as of
that date, (ii) will be granted as of such first business day a Stock
Option to purchase a number of shares of Common Stock determined by dividing
$49,500 by the Fair Value as of that date, and (iii) may elect to receive
either an additional grant of Restricted Shares or a Stock Option to purchase
shares of Common Stock in lieu of all or any portion of additional cash
compensation of $106,000, provided that, in either case, the Eligible Director
has elected in writing on or prior to
the last day of the preceding calendar year to receive the Restricted Shares or
the Stock Option described in this Section ‎12‎(b)(iii)
in lieu of an equivalent amount of cash compensation from the
Company.  If applicable, the number of Restricted Shares to
be

    granted
under Section 12(b)(iii) will be determined by dividing the amount of cash
compensation the Restricted Shares are replacing by the Market Value per Share
as of such first business day of the calendar year, and the number of shares
covered by a Stock Option elected under Section 12(b)(iii) will be determined by
dividing the amount of cash compensation the Stock Option is replacing by the
Fair Value as of such first business day of the calendar year.

     

    (c)          For
purposes of this Section 12, “Fair Value” means either the Black Scholes
Value (described below) or the value of a Stock Option to purchase one share of
Common Stock calculated using such other valuation methodology as may at the
time of grant be used by the Company to value Stock Options for financial
reporting purposes, in each case calculated as of the date of grant of the Stock
Option.  For this purpose, “Black Scholes Value” means the value of a
Stock Option to purchase one share of Common Stock calculated using the Black
Scholes option value model.  Unless otherwise provided by the Board
prior to the applicable date of grant, the Black Scholes option valuation for a
Stock Option to be granted on any date will be based on the following
assumptions:

     

    (i)           the
then current price of a share of Common Stock is equal to the Market Value per
Share of Common Stock as of the date of grant of the Stock Option;

     

    (ii)           the
per share Option Price is equal to the Market Value per Share of Common Stock as
of the date of grant of the Stock Option;

     

    (iii)           the
time until expiration of the Stock Option is equal to the actual time until
expiration of the Stock Option (determined without regard to the provisions of
Sections 12(e)(vii) and 12(e)(viii));

     

    (iv)           the
risk-free interest rate is the asked yield rate, as of the business day
preceding the date of grant of the Stock Option and as reported in the Wall
Street Journal, for the U.S. Treasury Note or Bond having a maturity date that
is closest to the date that is five years after the date of grant of the Stock
Option;

     

    (v)           the
volatility of the price of the Common Stock is calculated based on the closing
price of a share of Common Stock on the last trading day of each month for each
of the 60 months preceding the month in which the date of grant of the Stock
Option occurs; and

     

    (vi)           the
dividend yield on the Common Stock equals the rate determined by dividing the
product of four and the most recent quarterly dividend on the Common Stock as of
the date of grant of the Stock Option by the Market Value per Share of Common
Stock as of the date of grant of the Stock Option.

     

    (d)           Each
grant of Restricted Shares to an Eligible Director may utilize any or all of the
authorizations, and will be subject to all of the requirements, contained in the
following provisions:

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        14

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    (i)                      At
the time of grant of Restricted Shares to an Eligible Director, either
(A) a stock certificate evidencing the shares of Common Stock granted will
be registered in the Eligible Director’s name to be held by the Company for his
or her account or (B) an appropriate entry evidencing the Eligible
Director’s ownership of the shares of Common Stock granted will be made in the
stock ownership records or other books and records maintained by or on behalf of
the Company.  The Eligible Director will have the entire beneficial
ownership interest in, and all rights and privileges of a stockholder as to,
such Restricted Shares, including the right to vote such Restricted Shares and,
unless the Board will determine otherwise, the right to receive dividends
thereon, subject to the following: (1) subject to Section 12(d)(iii),
the Eligible Director will not be entitled to delivery of any stock certificate
evidencing such Restricted Shares until the expiration of the restriction period
described in Section 12(d)(ii); (2) none of the Restricted Shares may be
sold, transferred, assigned, pledged, or otherwise encumbered or disposed of
during the restriction period; and (3) all of the Restricted Shares will be
forfeited and all rights of the Eligible Director to the Restricted Shares will
terminate without further obligation on the part of the Company unless the
Eligible Director remains as a member of the Board for the entire restriction
period, except as provided by Section 12(d)(iii).  Any shares of
Common Stock or other securities or property received as a result of a
transaction described in Section 14 will be subject to the same
restrictions as such Restricted Shares.

     

    (ii)           Each
grant of Restricted Shares under Section 12(a) or 12(b)(i) will become
nonforfeitable and the restrictions described in Section 12(d)(i) will
expire as to 1/3rd of the total number of shares subject thereto on each of the
first three anniversaries of the date of grant of Restricted Shares; provided,
in each case, that the Eligible Director who received the Restricted Shares has
remained a member of the Board through each such anniversary
date.  Each grant of Restricted Shares under Section 12(b)(iii) will
become nonforfeitable and the restrictions described in Section 12(d)(i)
will expire as to the total number of shares subject thereto on the first
anniversary of the date of grant of Restricted Shares; provided, in each case,
that the Eligible Director who received the Restricted Shares has remained a
member of the Board through such anniversary date.

     

    (iii)           Except
as provided in an Evidence of Award, upon an Eligible Director’s ceasing to be a
member of the Board prior to the end of a restriction period for any reason, the
Eligible Director will immediately forfeit all Restricted Shares then subject to
the restrictions of Section 12(d)(i), unless the Board, in its discretion,
allows the Eligible Director to retain any or all of the Restricted Shares then
subject to such restrictions, in which case the restriction period applicable to
the
retained shares will immediately expire and all restrictions applicable to the
retained shares will immediately lapse.

     

    (iv)           At
the end of the restriction period, or at such earlier time as provided for in
Section 12(d)(iii) or as the Board, in its sole discretion,
may

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        15

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    otherwise
determine, all restrictions applicable to the Restricted Shares will lapse and,
if the Restricted Shares are evidenced by a stock certificate, a stock
certificate evidencing a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of
Restricted Shares, free of all restrictions, will be delivered to the Eligible
Director.

     

    (e)           Each
grant of Stock Options to an Eligible Director may utilize any or all of the
authorizations, and will be subject to all the requirements, contained in the
following provisions:

     

    (i)           Each
grant will specify the Option Price, which will equal 100% of the Market Value
per Share on the Date of Grant.

     

    (ii)           Each
Stock Option will be exercisable only to the extent that it is
vested.  Each Stock Option granted under Section 12(a) or
12(b)(ii) will vest as to 1/3rd of the total number of shares of Common Stock
subject thereto (rounded up to the nearest whole share) on each of the first
three anniversaries of the date of grant of the Stock Option; provided, in each
case, that the Eligible Director who received the Stock Option has remained a
member of the Board through each such anniversary date.  Except as may
otherwise be provided in the agreement evidencing the Stock Option or as
determined by the Board, each Stock Option granted under Section 12(b)(iii) will
vest as to 1/12th of the total number of shares of Common Stock subject thereto
(rounded up to the nearest whole share) on the last day of the first full
calendar month following the date of grant of the Stock Option, as to 1/12th of
the total number of shares subject thereto (rounded up to the nearest whole
share) on the last day of each of the 10 succeeding calendar months, and as to
the balance of the shares of Common Stock subject thereto on the last day of the
calendar month preceding the one-year anniversary of the date of grant of the
Stock Option; provided, in each case, that the Eligible Director who received
the Stock Option has remained a member of the Board through the respective
vesting date.

     

    (iii)           No
Stock Option will be exercisable more than ten years from the Date of
Grant.

     

    (iv)           Each
Stock Option granted to an Eligible Director will be a nonqualified stock option
and will not be an “incentive stock option” within the meaning of
Section 422 of the Code.

     

    (v)           Each
grant will specify whether the Option Price will be payable (i) in cash or
by check acceptable to the Company, (ii) by the actual or constructive
transfer to the Company of shares of Common Stock owned by the Eligible
Director and having an aggregate Market Value per Share at the date of exercise
equal to the aggregate Option Price, (iii) by authorizing the Company to
withhold a number of shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable to the Eligible
Director having an aggregate Market Value per Share on the date of exercise
equal to the aggregate Option Price, (iv) by a combination of such methods
of

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        16

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    payment
or (v) by any other method of payment approved by the Board; provided,
however, that the payment methods described in clauses (ii) and (iii) will not
be available at any time that the Company is prohibited from purchasing or
acquiring such shares of Common Stock.

     

    (vi)           During
an Eligible Director’s lifetime, the Stock Option may be exercised only by the
Eligible Director.  Stock Options will not be transferable, except for
exercise by the Eligible Director’s legal representatives or heirs; provided,
however, that an Eligible Director may, with prior approval from the Board (or
its designee), transfer an exercisable Stock Option to (A) a member or
members of the Eligible Director’s immediate family, (B) a trust, the
beneficiaries of which consist exclusively of members of the Eligible Director’s
immediate family, (C) a partnership, the partners of which consist
exclusively of members of the Eligible Director’s immediate family, or
(D) any similar entity created for the exclusive benefit of members of the
Eligible Director’s immediate family.  The Board or its designee must
approve the form of any transfer of a Stock Option to or for the benefit of any
immediate family member or members before such transfer will be recognized as
valid hereunder.  For purposes of the preceding sentence, any remote,
contingent interest of persons other than a member of the Eligible Director’s
immediate family will be disregarded.  For purposes of this
Section 12(e)(vi), immediate family means an Eligible Director’s spouse,
children and grandchildren, including step and adopted children and
grandchildren.

     

    (vii)                      Upon
an Eligible Director’s ceasing to be a member of the Board for any reason other
than death, each Stock Option of such Eligible Director will be exercisable only
as to those shares of Common Stock which were then subject to the exercise of
such Stock Option.  The Stock Option will expire: (A) unless
exercised, five years after the Eligible Director’s retirement from the Board if
the Eligible Director retires at or after age 55 with at least five years of
service on the Board; (B) unless exercised, five years after the date the
Eligible Director’s service on the Board is terminated due to the Eligible
Director’s total and permanent disability; (C) upon the Eligible Director’s
service on the Board being terminated for cause pursuant to Section 141(k) of
the Delaware General Corporation Law (or any successor provision); or
(D) unless exercised, three months after the date of such
termination.  In no event, however, will any Stock Option be
exercisable pursuant to this Section 12(e)(vii) after the tenth anniversary
of the Date of Grant or after any earlier termination in accordance with the
terms of the agreement evidencing the Stock Option.

     

    (viii)           Upon
the death of an Eligible Director during his or her term of service on the
Board, a Stock Option will be exercisable only as to those shares of Common
Stock which were subject to the exercise of the Stock Option at the time
of his or
her death.  The Stock Option will expire, unless exercised by the
Eligible Director’s legal representatives or heirs, five years after the date of
death.  In no event, however, will any Stock Option be exercisable
pursuant to this Section 12(e)(viii) after the tenth anniversary of the
Date of Grant or after any

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        17

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    earlier
termination in accordance with the terms of the agreement evidencing the Stock
Option.

     

    (ix)           Except
as otherwise determined by the Board, the vesting schedule applicable to a Stock
Option requires continued service through each applicable vesting date as a
condition to the vesting of the applicable installment of the Stock
Option.  Service for only a portion of a vesting period, even if
substantial, will not entitle the Eligible Director to any proportionate vesting
or avoid or mitigate a termination of rights and benefits upon or following a
termination of service as a Board member as provided in Section 12(e)(vii)
or 12(e)(viii).

     

    13.           Transferability.  Except
as provided in Section 12(e)(vi) or as otherwise authorized by the Committee, no
Award may be sold, pledged, assigned or transferred in any manner other than by
will or the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to a qualified domestic
relations order; provided, however, that a Participant who is an officer of the
Company may, with the prior approval of the Committee, transfer a Stock Option
that is not intended to be an “incentive stock option” (within the meaning of
Section 422 of the Code) to family members of the Participant, including to
trusts in which family members of the Participant own more than 50% of the
beneficial interests, to foundations in which family members of the Participant
or the Participant controls the management of assets and to other entities in
which more than 50% of the voting interests are owned by family members of the
Participant or the Participant.  Except as otherwise authorized by the
Committee, no Stock Option or Appreciation Right granted to a Participant will
be exercisable during the Participant’s lifetime by any person other than the
Participant or the Participant’s guardian or legal representative or any
permitted transferee.

     

    14.           Adjustments.

     

    (a)           The
Committee will make or provide for such adjustments in (i) the maximum
number of shares of Common Stock specified in Sections 4 and 5,
(ii) the number of shares of Common Stock covered by outstanding Stock
Options, Appreciation Rights, Performance Shares and Restricted Stock Units
granted under the Plan, (iii) the Option Price or Grant Price applicable to
any Stock Options and Appreciation Rights, and (iv) the kind of shares
covered by any such Awards (including shares of another issuer), as is equitably
required to prevent dilution or enlargement of the rights of Participants that
otherwise would result from (x) any stock dividend, stock split,
combination or exchange of shares, recapitalization or other change in the
capital structure of the Company, or (y) any merger, consolidation,
separation, spin-off, split-off, spin-out, split-up, reorganization, partial or
complete liquidation or other distribution of assets, issuance of rights or
warrants to purchase securities, or (z) any other corporate transaction or
event having an effect similar to any of the foregoing.  In the event
of any such transaction or event, the Committee, in its discretion, may provide
in substitution for any or all outstanding Awards such alternative consideration
as it, in good faith, may determine to be
equitable in the circumstances and may require in connection with such
substitution the surrender of all Awards so replaced.

     

    (b)           The
Committee may accelerate the payment of, or vesting with respect to, any Award
under the Plan upon the occurrence of a transaction or event described in
this

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        18

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    Section 14;
provided, however, that in the case of any Award that constitutes a deferral of
compensation within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, the Committee
will not accelerate the payment of the Award unless it determines in good faith
that such transaction or event satisfies the requirements of a change in control
event under guidance issued by the Secretary of the Treasury under
Section 409A of the Code.

     

    15.           Fractional
Shares.  Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary will be
required to deliver any fractional share of Common Stock pursuant to the
Plan.  The Committee may provide for the elimination of fractions or
for the settlement of fractions in cash.

     

    16.           Withholding
Taxes.  To the extent that the Company or a Subsidiary is
required to withhold federal, state, local or foreign taxes in connection with
any payment made or benefit realized by a Participant or other person under the
Plan, and the amounts available to the Company or the Subsidiary for such
withholding are insufficient, it will be a condition to the receipt of such
payment or the realization of such benefit that the Participant or such other
person make arrangements satisfactory to the Company for payment of the balance
of such taxes required to be withheld.  If a Participant’s Award is to
be paid in the form of shares of Common Stock and the Participant fails to make
arrangements for the payment of tax, the Company or the Subsidiary may withhold
shares of Common Stock having a value equal to the amount required to be
withheld.  In addition, if permitted by the Committee, the Participant
or such other person may elect to have any withholding obligation of the Company
or the Subsidiary satisfied with shares of Common Stock that would otherwise be
transferred to the Participant or such other person in payment of the
Participant’s Award.  However, without the consent of the Committee,
shares of Common Stock will not be withheld in excess of the minimum number of
shares required to satisfy the withholding obligation of the Company or the
Subsidiary.

     

    17.           Administration of
the Plan.

     

    (a)           Unless
the administration of the Plan has been expressly assumed by the Board pursuant
to a resolution of the Board, the Plan will be administered by the Committee,
which at all times will consist of three or more Directors appointed by the
Board, all of whom are intended (i) to meet all applicable independence
requirements of the New York Stock Exchange or the principal national securities
exchange or principal market on or in which the Common Stock is traded and
(ii) to qualify as “non-employee directors” as defined in Rule 16b-3 and as
“outside directors” as defined in regulations adopted under Section 162(m)
of the Code, as such terms may be amended from time to time; provided, however,
that the failure of a member of the Committee to so qualify will not invalidate
any Award granted under the Plan.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
provisions of Section 12 will be administered by the Board.  A
majority of the Committee will constitute a quorum, and the action of the
members of the Committee present at any meeting at which a quorum is present, or
acts unanimously approved in writing, will be the acts of the
Committee.

     

    (b)           The
Committee has the full authority and discretion to administer the Plan and to
take any action that is necessary or advisable in connection with the
administration of the Plan, including without limitation the authority and
discretion to interpret and construe any provision of the Plan or of any
agreement, notification or document

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        19

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    evidencing
an Award.  The interpretation and construction by the Committee of any
such provision and any determination by the Committee pursuant to any provision
of the Plan or of any such agreement, notification or document will be final and
conclusive.  No member of the Committee will be liable for any such
action or determination made in good faith.

     

    (c)           To
the extent permitted by applicable law, the Committee may delegate its authority
under the Plan to a subcommittee of the Committee, to one or more committees of
the Board or to one or more executive officers of the Company; provided,
however, that no delegation may be made of authority to take an action which is
required by Rule 16b-3 to be taken by “non-employee directors” in order that the
Plan and transactions thereunder meet the requirements of such
Rule.

     

    (d)           It
is the Company’s intention that any Award granted under the Plan that
constitutes a deferral of compensation within the meaning of Section 409A
of the Code and the guidance issued by the Secretary of the Treasury under
Section 409A satisfy the requirements of Section 409A.  In
granting such an Award, the Committee will use its best efforts to exercise its
authority under the Plan with respect to the terms of such Award in a manner
that the Committee determines in good faith will cause the Award to comply with
Section 409A and thereby avoid the imposition of penalty taxes and interest
upon the Participant receiving the Award.  Notwithstanding any
provision of the Plan or an Evidence of Award to the contrary, (i) if the
Company makes a good faith determination that a payment of an Award
(A) constitutes a deferral of compensation for purposes of Section 409A of
the Code, (B) is made to a Participant by reason of his or her “separation
from service” (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code) and (C) at
the time such payment would otherwise be made the Participant is a “specified
employee” (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code), the payment will be
delayed until the first day of the seventh month following the date of such
separation from service, and (ii) if a Change in Control would be the date of
payment of an Award that is determined to constitute a deferral of compensation,
but the Change in Control does not constitute a change in the ownership or
effective control of the Company, or in the ownership of a substantial portion
of the assets of the Company (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code),
then the date of payment will be determined without regard to the occurrence of
the Change in Control.

     

    (e)           With
respect to the administration of the provisions of Section 12 or if the
administration of the Plan is assumed by the Board pursuant to
Section 17(a), the Board will have the same authority, power, duties,
responsibilities and discretion given to the Committee under the terms of the
Plan.

     

    18.           Amendments and Other
Matters.

     

    (a)           The
Plan may be amended from time to time by the Board or, with respect to those
provisions of the Plan other than Section 12, the Committee; provided, however,
that the Plan may not be amended without further approval by the stockholders of
the Company if such amendment would result in the Plan no longer satisfying any
applicable requirements of the New York Stock Exchange (or the principal
national securities

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        20

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    exchange
on which the Common Stock is traded), Rule 16b-3 or Section 162(m) of the
Code.

     

    (b)           Neither
the Committee nor the Board will authorize the amendment of any outstanding
Stock Option to reduce the Option Price without the further approval of the
stockholders of the Company.  Furthermore, no Stock Option will be
cancelled and replaced with Stock Options having a lower Option Price without
further approval of the stockholders of the Company.  The provisions
of this Section 18(b) are intended to prohibit the repricing of
“underwater” Stock Options and will not be construed to prohibit the adjustments
provided for in Section 14.

     

    (c)           The
Plan may be terminated at any time by action of the Board.  The
termination of the Plan will not adversely affect the terms of any outstanding
Award.

     

    (d)           The
Company will not be required to issue, and neither the Company nor a Subsidiary
will be required to transfer, shares of Common Stock under the Plan prior to
(i) the obtaining of any approval from any governmental agency which the
Company, in its sole discretion, determines to be necessary or advisable,
(ii) the admission of such shares to listing on any stock exchange on which
the Common Stock may then be listed, and (iii) the completion of any
registration or other qualification of such shares under any state or Federal
law or rulings or regulations of any governmental body which the Company, in its
sole discretion, determines to be necessary or advisable.

     

    (d)           The
Plan does not confer upon any Participant any right with respect to continuance
of employment or other service with the Company or any Subsidiary, nor will it
interfere in any way with any right the Company or any Subsidiary would
otherwise have to terminate such Participant’s employment or other service at
any time.

     

    (e)           If
the Committee determines, with the advice of legal counsel, that any provision
of the Plan would prevent the payment of any Award intended to qualify as
performance-based compensation within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the
Code from so qualifying, such Plan provision will be invalid and cease to have
any effect without affecting the validity or effectiveness of any other
provision of the Plan.

     

    (f)           No
Participant will have any of the rights of a stockholder with respect to shares
of Common Stock subject to an Award prior to the date as of which he or she is
actually recorded as the holder of such shares upon the stock records of the
Company.

     

    19.           Governing
Law.  The Plan, all Awards and all actions taken under the Plan
and the Awards will be governed in all respects in accordance with the laws of
the State of Delaware, including without limitation, the Delaware statute of
limitations, but without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of laws of
such State.
