Exhibit 10.1

SEPARATION AGREEMENT AND RELEASE

     This Separation Agreement and Release (“Agreement”) is made and entered into by and between
Michael E. Sileck (“Sileck”) on behalf of himself and his heirs, executors, administrators,
predecessors, successors and assigns; and World Wrestling Entertainment, Inc. (“WWE”), its parents,
affiliates and subsidiaries and each of their predecessors, successors and assigns.

     Sileck currently occupies the position of Chief Operating Officer and is a member of the Board
of Directors of WWE; and Sileck and WWE (the “Parties”) have mutually agreed that Sileck shall
resign from his position as Chief Operating Officer, and as a member of the Board of Directors,
effective December 31, 2008 (hereinafter “Separation Date”). Certain provisions set forth herein
are governed by an offer letter revised as of February 9, 2007 (the “Offer Letter”).

     In consideration of the mutual promises and covenants set forth herein, and intending to be
legally bound, Sileck and WWE agree as follows:

     1. Separation Date: Sileck’s Separation Date shall be his last active date of
employment with WWE, December 31, 2008.

     2. Consideration: In consideration of Sileck’s acceptance of this Agreement, and
after expiration of the seven day revocation period referred to in Section 13 of this Agreement,
the parties agree as follows:

     (a) Salary Continuation: As set forth in the Offer Letter, WWE shall continue
Sileck’s base salary at the current annual amount of $675,000.00 through December 31, 2009. Such
salary payments shall be payable in accordance with WWE’s regular payroll practices (but no less
frequently than monthly), and shall continue to be subject to the ordinary tax deductions and other
withholdings which were in place as of the Separation Date.

 

 

     (b) Benefit Continuation: Beyond what is required by the Offer Letter, Sileck and his
covered family members shall be entitled to continued group health insurance coverage at WWE’s
expense through December 31, 2009, and thereafter, Sileck may continue such coverage at his own
expense for the remainder of the 18 month COBRA continuation period pursuant to applicable law.
Sileck agrees to notify WWE immediately upon his eligibility for coverage under another employer’s
group health plan, at which time WWE’s coverage will be secondary to such new employer’s coverage.

     (c) Equity Vesting: On December 31, 2008, 15,000 restricted stock units will vest as
provided in the Offer Letter. An additional $115,000 worth of Restricted Stock Units (valued at
the closing price for WWE’s Class A common stock on the New York Stock Exchange on December 31,
2008) shall vest. All remaining Restricted Stock Units and Performance Stock Units (and any
related Dividend Units or dividend equivalent rights) shall be forfeited as of the Separation Date.
All such Restricted Stock Units vesting as provided in this Section 2(c) shall be subject to
income and employment tax withholding.

     (d) Non-Compete: Sileck shall not, during the period of salary and benefit
continuation as set forth in this Section, in any capacity, directly or indirectly, whether as a
consultant, employee, officer, director, partner, member, principal, shareholder, or otherwise: (a)
become employed by, enter into a consulting arrangement with, or otherwise perform services for,
manage, acquire an ownership in, or participate in the management or ownership of, a professional
wrestling organization; provided, however, that nothing herein shall prevent Sileck from acquiring
up to 5% of any class of outstanding equity securities of any company whose equity securities are
regularly traded on a national securities exchange or on an ‘over-the-counter

 

 

market’; or (b) directly or indirectly divert or attempt to divert or discourage any WWE contracted
talent from doing business or continuing to do business with WWE.

     3. Release by Sileck: To the fullest extent permitted by law, Sileck, on behalf of
himself and his heirs, executors, personal representatives, administrators, successors and assigns
(hereinafter with Sileck collectively referred to as the “Releasor”), hereby agrees to accept from
WWE the consideration specified in this Agreement in full resolution and satisfaction of, and
hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, releases, and forever discharges WWE, and its
subsidiaries, affiliates, employee plans and programs and their respective stockholders, officers,
directors, employees, contractors, agents, attorneys, insurers and fiduciaries and all of their
respective administrators, estates, successors, representatives, and assigns (collectively,
“Releasees”) from and against any and all claims, charges, demands, sums of money, actions, rights,
promises, agreements, causes of action, obligations and liabilities of any kind or nature
whatsoever, at law or in equity, whether known or unknown, existing or contingent, suspected or
unsuspected, apparent or concealed, which Releasor now or in the future may have or claims to have
against WWE or any of the Releasees based upon or arising out of any facts, acts, conduct,
omissions, transactions, occurrences, contracts, claims, events, causes, matters or things of any
conceivable kind or character existing or occurring or claimed to exist or to have occurred at any
time on or before the date of his execution of this Agreement, whether asserted as an individual
claim or action, or a class claim or action on behalf of a class which includes Sileck as an actual
or putative class member. The Parties intend Releasor’s release to be general and comprehensive in
nature and to release all claims and potential claims against WWE and the Releasees to the maximum
extent permitted by law.

 

 

     The claims being released include, but are not limited to, any and all claims relating to or
arising out of Sileck’s association with WWE or his separation therefrom; any and all compensation
and benefits (except those vested and accrued) asserted to have arisen in connection with his
association with WWE or any of the Releasees; any and all defamation, personal injury, property and
tort claims; wrongful termination claims; and any claims arising under any federal, state or
municipal wage laws, whistleblower claims, fraud claims, contract claims, benefits claims, and any

     4. Covenant Not to Sue:

     Sileck represents and warrants that: (i) he has not discussed with, participated in or
assisted any other person in filing any complaints, charges, lawsuits or other legal, quasi-legal
or administrative actions with any court, entity, associations or agency relating to any claims
related to WWE or any of the Releasees; and (ii) he has not filed any complaints, charges,
lawsuits, or other legal actions with any court, entity, association or agency relating to any
potential claims or other claims being released by him in this Agreement, and agrees that, with the
sole exception of his right to bring a proceeding pursuant to the Older Workers Benefit Protection
Act to challenge

 

 

the validity of this Agreement pursuant to the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, not
inconsistent with EEOC Enforcement Guidance On Non-Waivable Employee Rights Under EEOC-Enforced
Statutes dated April 11, 1997, and to the fullest extent permitted by law, he will not file any
complaints, charges, lawsuits, or other legal actions in any forum whatsoever at any time hereafter
derived from such released potential claims or any other claims. Sileck further represents and
warrants that he has not heretofore assigned or transferred to any person not a party to this
Agreement any released matter or any part or portion thereof. Nothing in this Section shall
prevent Sileck (or his attorneys) from (i) commencing an action or proceeding to enforce this
Agreement or (ii) exercising Sileck’s right under the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act of 1990
to challenge the validity of his waiver of ADEA claims set forth in Section 3 of this Agreement.

     Furthermore, to the fullest extent consistent with EEOC Enforcement Guidance On Non-Waivable
Employee Rights Under EEOC-Enforced Statutes dated April 11, 1997, and other applicable law, Sileck
shall not assist or otherwise participate willingly or voluntarily in any claim, arbitration, suit,
action, investigation or other proceeding of any kind involving WWE or any of the Releasees.

     5. Non-Disparagement: Sileck shall not:

     (a) issue nor cause, allow or encourage any person or entity to issue, any communication,
written or oral, that tends to disparage, criticize or otherwise reflect adversely or encourage any
adverse action against WWE or any of the Releasees; or

     (b) directly or indirectly take, support, encourage, or participate in any action or attempted
action which in any way would damage the reputation or business relationships of

 

 

WWE or of the Releasees, except if testifying truthfully under oath pursuant to any effective court
order or subpoena or otherwise responding to or providing disclosures required by law.

     (c) Sileck shall direct all future employment reference requests only to WWE’s Chief Executive
Officer, Linda E. McMahon, and/or WWE’s Vice President of Human Resources, who will provide nothing
other than Sileck’s dates of employment and job title, that he left on good terms, and that WWE
appreciates the contributions he made as a CFO and COO while employed. In addition, the Vice
President of Human Resources will, if requested, include information regarding Sileck’s last
salary.

     6. Confidentiality:

     Except as required by law or legal process, Sileck shall not disclose, nor use for his benefit
or the benefit of any other person or entity, any information received regarding WWE or the
Releasees which is confidential or proprietary, or private in nature, and (i) which has not been
disclosed publicly by WWE, (ii) which is otherwise not a matter of public knowledge or (iii) which
is a matter of public knowledge but where such information became a matter of public knowledge
through Sileck’s unauthorized disclosure. Proprietary or confidential information shall include
information the unauthorized disclosure or use of which would reduce the value of such information
to WWE. Such information shall include, without limitation, WWE talent lists, personal information
relating to such talent, WWE trade secrets, any confidential information about (or provided by) any
client or prospective or former client of WWE, information concerning WWE’s or the Releasees’
business, personal or financial affairs, books and records, commitments, procedures, plot plans,
story lines, scripts, creative plans, designs, and prospects, products and intellectual property
developed by WWE, past, current or prospective transactions or business of WWE or the Releasees;
any and all information acquired by Sileck in any capacity

 

 

at WWE. Sileck hereby confirms that, as of his Separation Date, he shall deliver to WWE and will
not retain any copies of any written materials, records and documents (including those that are
electronically stored) made by him or coming into his possession during the course of his
employment with WWE which contain or refer to any such proprietary or confidential information as
defined herein. Sileck shall be permitted to retain his own personnel records or documents,
including documents and information referring to benefits, compensation, and personal data. Sileck
further confirms that, as of his Separation Date, he shall deliver to WWE any and all tangible
property and equipment of WWE, including laptop computers, etc., which may have been in his
possession provided, however, due to its age and limited use to WWE, Sileck may keep the laptop
computer he has been using as of his Separation Date after the WWE has taken all necessary steps to
back up and retain any and all retrievable information contained on such laptop computer, remove
such information from the laptop computer, and thereafter return it to Sileck.

     7. Cooperation: Sileck shall reasonably assist and cooperate with WWE in connection
with the defense or prosecution of any claim that may be made against or by WWE or in connection
with any ongoing or future investigation or dispute or claim of any kind involving WWE, including
any proceeding before any arbitral, administrative, judicial, legislative, or other body or agency,
including preparing for and testifying in any proceeding to the extent such claims, investigations
or proceedings relate to services performed or required to be performed by Sileck or as a result of
pertinent knowledge possessed by Sileck, or any act or omission by Sileck. Sileck shall also
perform all acts and execute and deliver any documents that may be reasonably necessary to carry
out the provisions of this Section. Upon submission of

 

 

appropriate written documentation, WWE shall reimburse Sileck for reasonable, pre-approved expenses
incurred in carrying out the provisions of this Section.

     8. Breach of Agreement.

     In the event of any material breach by either WWE or Sileck of any term of this Agreement, the
non-breaching party may apply for appropriate relief in the federal or state Courts of the State of
Connecticut, without regard to any applicable conflicts of law analysis, and each party shall
submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of such Courts. In any proceeding to enforce the terms of
this Agreement, the Agreement may be introduced under seal in order to maintain its
confidentiality. The prevailing party (i.e., the successful party as a result of a final judgment)
in such enforcement action shall further be entitled to an award of reasonable attorneys’ fees and
costs incurred in connection with such enforcement action. The remedies provided for in this
provision shall not be construed to be exclusive and do not bar any other claims for relief.

     9. Tax Matters and Section 409A of the Code: All payments or benefits provided under
this Agreement are subject to any applicable employment or tax withholdings or deductions. In
addition, the Parties hereby agree that it is their intention that all payments or benefits
provided under this Agreement be exempt from, or if not so exempt, comply with, Section 409A of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), including without limitation the six month
delay for payments of deferred compensation to “key employees” upon separation from service
pursuant to Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code (if applicable), and this Agreement shall be
interpreted accordingly. Sileck hereby is advised to seek independent advice from his tax
advisor(s) with respect to the application of Section 409A of the Code to any payments or benefits
under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, WWE does not

 

 

guarantee the tax treatment of any payments or benefits under this Agreement, including
without limitation under the Code, federal, state, municipal, local or foreign laws.

     10. Entire Agreement and Severability: This Agreement may not be modified, altered or
changed except by a written agreement signed by the parties hereto. This Agreement constitutes the
entire agreement between the parties, superseding all prior written and oral agreements including,
without limitation, all prior letters incorporating offers of employment and amended offers of
employment. Headings, paragraph or section titles or captions contained in this Agreement are used
as a matter of convenience and for reference, and in no way define, limit, extend or describe the
scope of the Agreement or any provision thereof. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be
invalid, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.

     11. Governing Law: The governing law of this Agreement shall be the substantive and
procedural law of the State of Connecticut.

     12. Counterpart Copies. Counterpart and/or facsimile copies of signature pages taken
together shall constitute an entire agreement.

     13. Acknowledgements Regarding Execution. Sileck acknowledges that: (a) but for his
execution of this Agreement and his adherence to its terms, he would not be entitled to, and would
not receive, the consideration set forth in Section 2(b) and the second sentence of Section 2(c) of
this Agreement; (b) no promises or inducements have been made to him except as expressly set forth
in this Agreement; (c) he has been advised that his execution of this Agreement signifies his

knowing and voluntary waiver of all rights or claims or potential claims he has or may have against
WWE and the Releasees as set forth herein; (e) he has been advised

 

 

and understands that, by entering into this Agreement, he does not waive rights or
claims that may arise after the date of his execution of this Agreement, including without
limitation any rights or claims that he may have to secure enforcement of the terms and conditions
of this Agreement; (f) he has been encouraged and advised by WWE to consult with an attorney of his
choosing prior to executing this Agreement and he has, as of the date of his execution of this
Agreement, had the opportunity to consult with an attorney of his choosing, and this Agreement
shall be deemed to have been jointly drafted so that in the event of any dispute over the terms
hereof, the interpretation thereof shall not be construed against any party; (g) he has carefully
read this Agreement in its entirety and fully understands the significance of all of the terms and
provisions; and (h) he is signing this Agreement voluntarily and of his own free will and assents
to all the terms and conditions contained herein.

     Sileck hereby further acknowledges and agrees that he has had more than twenty one (21) days
within which to consider the terms and conditions of this Agreement before executing it. He
further has seven (7) days from his execution of this Agreement within which he may revoke such
acceptance. Such revocation must be in writing, received by WWE by midnight of the seventh (7) day
to be effective, and directed to Danielle Fisher, Vice President, Human Resources, at the address
of WWE’s headquarters, in which case this Agreement shall be void and of no force or effect.

     14. This Agreement shall bind and benefit the parties hereto and, to the extent provided in
Sections 3, 4, 5 and 6, the Releasor and the Releasees. In addition, (i) the covenants set forth
in Section 2(b) shall benefit members of Sileck’s family covered by such insurance; and (ii) all

Exhibit 10.1

GIBRALTAR INDUSTRIES, INC.

MANAGEMENT STOCK PURCHASE PLAN

 

Second Amendment and Restatement

 

     Effective as of May 19, 2005, Gibraltar Industries, Inc., a Delaware corporation with offices
at 3556 Lake Shore Road, Buffalo, New York (the “Company”) established the Gibraltar Industries,
Inc. 2005 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Omnibus Plan”) to enable the Company to grant awards of
equity based compensation to its employees and to non-employee directors, consultants and service
providers.

     In addition, effective as of May 19, 2005, the Company established the Gibraltar Industries,
Inc. Management Stock Purchase Plan (the “Plan”) to set forth a uniform set of principals under
which certain of the Company’s management employees would be permitted to purchase Restricted Stock
Units which the Company is authorized to issue pursuant to the Omnibus Plan.

     Pursuant to the terms of the Plan and the Omnibus Plan, the Plan is to be treated as an
instrument evidencing the grant of an Award under the Omnibus Plan.

     Effective as of December 18, 2006, the Company adopted a First Amendment and Restatement of
the Plan to permit the Company’s non-Employee Directors to elect to defer their receipt of their
Director Fees and to have Restricted Stock Units credited to an Account established for their
benefit under the Plan in lieu of their receipt of their Director Fees and to make certain other
technical changes.

     The Company now desires to amend and restate the Plan, effective as of December 31, 2008, to
permit the Company’s Eligible Employees to elect to defer receipt of their Base Salary and to have
Restricted Stock Units credited to an Account established for their benefit under the Plan in lieu
of their receipt of their Base Salary effective for Plan years beginning January 1, 2009 and
thereafter, to provide the Company greater flexibility with respect to the amount of the Bonus that
can be deferred by an Eligible Employee, to provide the Company greater flexibility with respect to
the number of Matching Units to be credited to the Accounts established for the benefit of Eligible
Employees, to conform the terms of the Plan to the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and to
make certain other technical changes.

     In connection with the foregoing, the Company hereby adopts the following as the Second
Amendment and Restatement of the Gibraltar Industries, Inc. Management Stock Purchase Plan
effective as of December 31, 2008.

OVERVIEW OF PLAN OPERATION

     2.01 General Description of Plan Operation. In general, the Plan will be operated in
the manner described in this Section 2.01. The more specific provisions relating to the Plan and
its operation are contained in the remaining Articles of this Plan.

          (a) Individual Employees will be selected for participation in the Plan by the Committee. The
Committee will provide written notice to each Employee that is selected for participation on the
Plan. Each non-Employee Director will, by virtue of such status, be eligible
to participate in the Plan.

          (b) If an Employee is selected for participation in the Plan the Employee will be entitled to
defer receipt of up to twenty-five percent (25%) of the Base Salary that the

8

 

Employee is entitled
to receive and up to one hundred percent (100%) of the Bonus that the Employee is entitled to
receive under the Annual Bonus Plan. The Maximum Deferral Percentage of each Employee that is
selected for participation in the Plan will be specified in the written notice which is provided to
the Employee of his selection for participation in the Plan. In addition, each Eligible Director
will be entitled to defer up to one hundred percent (100%) of his Director Fees.

          (c) Due to applicable tax rules: (i) an Eligible Employee that elects to defer any portion of
his Base Salary must file his election to defer any portion of his Base Salary with the Committee
no later than December 31 of the calendar year immediately preceding the calendar year in which the
Base Salary which he is electing to defer will be paid; (ii) an Eligible Employee that elects to
defer his receipt of payment of all or any portion of his Bonus must file his election to defer a
portion of his Bonus with the Committee no later than June 30 of the calendar year in which he
performs the services which will give rise to his entitlement to payment of the Bonus to be
deferred; and (iii) an Eligible Director that elects to defer any portion of his Director Fees must
file his election to defer any portion of his Director Fees with the Committee no later than
December 31 of the calendar year immediately preceding the calendar year in which the Director Fees
which he is electing to defer will be paid.

          (d) If an Eligible Employee elects to defer his receipt of payment of a portion of his Base
Salary, at the time his Base Salary is payable (which is in the calendar year following the
calendar year in which he makes his election to defer his Base Salary), the portion of his Base
Salary which he has elected to defer will not be paid to him and, instead, the Committee will, at
the end of each calendar quarter, credit an Account which will be established for his benefit with
a number of Restricted Units equal to the number of Shares he could have purchased using the
portion of his Base Salary which was deferred for the calendar quarter at a price per Share equal
to the Fair Market Value of a Share determined as of the end of the applicable calendar quarter.

          (e) If an Eligible Employee elects to defer his receipt of payment of all or any portion of
his Bonus, at the time his Bonus is payable (which is in the calendar year following the calendar
year in which he performs the services giving rise to his entitlement to payment of a Bonus), the
portion of his Bonus which he has elected to defer will not be paid to him and, instead, the
Committee will credit an Account which will be established for his benefit with a number of
Restricted Units equal to the number of Shares he could have purchased using the deferred portion
of his Bonus at a price per Share equal to the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date he receives
(or would have received) payment of his Bonus.

          (f) If an Eligible Director elects to defer his receipt of payment of any portion of his
Director Fees, on each date that he is entitled to payment of any portion of his Director Fees,
whether attributable to Retainer Fees, fees for attendance at meetings of the Board of Directors or
any committee thereof, or any other fees, a portion (stated as a percentage) of his Director Fees
which he has elected to defer will not be paid to him and, instead, the Committee
will credit an Account which will be established for his benefit with a number of Restricted
Units equal to the number of Shares he could have purchased using the deferred portion of his
Director Fees at a price per Share equal to the Fair Market Value of a Share determined as of the

9

 

date Director Fee Deferral Units are to be allocated to the Director’s Account as provided for in
the Deferred Director Fee Election Form.

          (g) In addition to the Base Salary Deferral Units that are credited, as described in (d)
above, to the Account of a Participant that is an Eligible Employee, at the same time that Base
Salary Deferral Units are credited to such Eligible Employee’s Account, the Committee will credit
the Eligible Employee’s Account with an additional number of Restricted Units (Matching Units)
which have an aggregate Fair Market Value, determined as of the date that Base Salary Deferral
Units are credited to the Account of the Eligible Employee, equal to the total amount of the Base
Salary which was deferred by the Eligible Employee during the calendar quarter which ends on the
date that Base Salary Deferral Units are credited to the Participant’s Account, multiplied by the
Matching Percentage applicable to the Eligible Employee’s deferral of his Base Salary. Similarly,
in addition to the Bonus Deferral Units that are credited, as described in (e) above, to the
Account of a Participant that is an Eligible Employee, at the same time that Bonus Deferral Units
are credited to such Eligible Employee’s Account, the Committee will credit the Eligible Employee’s
Account with an additional number of Restricted Units (Matching Units) which have an aggregate Fair
Market Value, determined as of the date that Bonus Deferral Units are credited to the Account of
the Eligible Employee, equal to the total amount of the Bonus which was deferred by the Eligible
Employee multiplied by the Eligible Employee’s Matching Percentage.

          (h) In addition to the Director Fee Deferral Units credited to the Account of a Participant
that is an Eligible Director as described in (f) above, at the same time that Director Fee Deferral
Units are credited to such Eligible Director’s Account, the Committee will credit the Eligible
Director’s Account with an additional number of Matching Units equal to the number of Retainer Fee
Deferral Units, if any, credited to the Eligible Director’s Account.

          (i) The total value of the Restricted Units credited to the Account of a Participant that is
an Eligible Employee will not be distributable to the Eligible Employee until the Eligible
Employee’s employment is terminated or, if earlier, the date a Change in Control occurs. However,
if the Eligible Employee’s employment is terminated before he has attained age sixty (60), the
Matching Units credited to the Eligible Employee’s Account will be forfeited and the amount which
is distributable to the Eligible Employee will only consist of an amount equal to the value of the
Bonus Deferral Units and/or the Base Salary Deferral Units credited to the Eligible Employee’s
Account.

          (j) The total value of the Restricted Units credited to the Account of a Participant that is
an Eligible Director will not be distributable to the Eligible Director until the date on which the
Eligible Director’s status as a member of the Board of Directors is terminated or, if earlier, the
date a Change in Control occurs. However, if the Eligible Director’s status as a member of the
Board of Directors is terminated before he has attained age sixty (60), the Matching Units credited
to the Eligible Director’s Account will be forfeited and the amount which is distributable to the
Eligible Director will only consist of an amount equal to the value of
the Retainer Fee Deferral Units credited to the Eligible Director’s Account.

10

 

          (k) At the time a Participant becomes entitled to a distribution, the number of Restricted
Units credited to the Participant’s Account (and not forfeited) will be converted (hypothetically
and for accounting purposes only) to a cash amount equal to the total number of Restricted Units
credited to the Participant’s Account (and not forfeited) multiplied by the Fair Market Value of
one Share determined as of the date the Participant becomes entitled to a distribution. However,
as indicated in Sections 2.01(i) and (j) above, if the Participant’s employment or status as a
member of the Board of Directors is terminated before he has attained at least age sixty (60), the
total number of Restricted Units which are credited to the Participant’s Account will not include
any Matching Units.

          (l) If the Participant is entitled to a distribution because his employment has been
terminated or his status as a member of the Board of Directors has been terminated, the cash value
of the Participant’s Account will be distributed to the Participant in five (5) substantially equal
annual payments beginning in the month of January following the date the Participant’s employment
is terminated and continuing in each subsequent January thereafter until the full value of the
Participant’s Account has been distributed. The installment payments required to be made to the
Participant as described above in this Section 2.01(l) shall be paid in cash less applicable
withholding taxes.

          (m) During the period between the date the Participant’s Account is converted to cash and the
date the entire value of the Participant’s Account is distributed, the value of the Account shall
be increased by interest at an annual rate equal to the Applicable Interest Rate, compounded
annually.

          (n) If a Participant is entitled to a distribution because a Change in Control has occurred,
on the date such Change in Control occurs, each Participant shall be paid an amount, in one lump
sum payment less applicable withholding taxes, equal to the total number of Restricted Units
credited to the Participant’s Account multiplied by the Fair Market Value of one Share determined
as of the date on which the Change in Control occurs.

Units have been credited to such Eligible Employee’s Account shall be equal to the aggregate number
of Shares (including fractional shares) which could be purchased, at a price per share equal to the
Fair Market Value of a Share determined as of the date that Base Salary Deferral Units are credited
to the Eligible Employee’s Account, with an amount equal to: (a) the aggregate amount of the Base
Salary deferred by the Eligible Employee; multiplied by (b) the Eligible Employee’s applicable
Matching Percentage. The number of Matching Units to be credited to the Account of an Eligible
Employee for any Plan Year in which Bonus Deferral Units have been credited to such Eligible
Employee’s Account shall be equal to the aggregate number of Shares (including fractional shares)
which could be purchased, at a price per share equal to the Fair Market Value of a Share determined
as of the date that Bonus Deferral Units are credited to the Eligible Employee’s Account, with an
amount equal to: (y) the aggregate amount of the Bonus deferred by the Eligible Employee;
multiplied by (z) the Eligible Employee’s applicable Matching Percentage. The number of Matching
Units to be credited to the Account of an Eligible Director for any Plan Year in which Retainer Fee
Deferral Units have been credited to such Eligible Director’s Account shall be the same as the
number of Retainer Fee Deferral Units credited to the Eligible Director’s Account for such Plan
Year.

     6.02 Forfeiture of Matching Units. If an Eligible Employee’s employment with the
Company is terminated before he has attained at least age sixty (60), the Matching Units credited
to the Eligible Employee’s Account shall be forfeited on the date the Eligible Employee’s
employment is terminated. If an Eligible Director’s service as a member of the Board of Directors
of the Company is terminated before he has attained age sixty (60), the Matching Units credited to
the Eligible Director’s Account shall be forfeited. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Eligible
Employee’s employment with the Company is terminated in connection with a Change in Control or if
an Eligible Director’s service with the Company is terminated in connection with a Change in
Control, the number of Matching Units credited to the Account of the Eligible Employee and the
number of Matching Units credited to the Account of the Eligible Director shall not be forfeited
even though the Eligible Employee or the Eligible Director has not attained age sixty (60).

     6.03 Certain Anti-Dilutive Adjustments. In the event of any change in the number of
outstanding Shares of Common Stock without receipt of consideration by the Company resulting from
any stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up,
combination or exchange of Shares, or any rights offering to purchase Shares of Common Stock at a
price substantially below fair market value, or any similar change affecting the Shares of Common
Stock the number of Restricted Units credited to a Participant’s Account on the date of such change
shall be appropriately adjusted consistent with such change in such manner as the Committee, in its
sole discretion, may deem equitable to prevent substantial dilution or enlargement of the rights
granted to, or available for, the Participants hereunder.

ARTICLE 7.

ACCOUNTS

     7.01 Participant’s Account. The Committee shall establish and maintain an Account in
the name of each Eligible Employee to which the Committee shall allocate Base Salary Deferral
Units, Bonus Deferral Units and Matching Units. In addition, the Committee shall

15

 

establish and
maintain an Account in the name of each Eligible Director to which the Committee shall allocate
Director Fee Deferral Units (including, if applicable, a sub account separately identifying the
number of Director Fee Deferral Units which are Retainer Fee Deferral Units) and Matching Units.
Thereafter, at the time a Participant becomes entitled to a distribution of the value of the
Restricted Units credited to his Account, the Participant’s Account shall be credited
(hypothetically and for accounting purposes only) with a dollar amount determined as provided in
Section 8.01 below. The Accounts established by the Committee for Participants in connection with
its administration of this Plan shall be for recordkeeping purposes and shall not require any
segregation of any assets of the Company.

     7.02 Time of Allocation. In each Plan Year in which an Eligible Employee does not,
pursuant to the Eligible Employee’s election, receive payment of a portion of Base Salary which is
payable to him in such Plan Year (which Base Salary deferral is based on the Eligible Employee’s
election, made in the preceding Plan Year, to defer the payment of any Base Salary the Eligible
Employee might earn for such Plan Year), the Base Salary Deferral Units and Matching Units required
to be allocated to the Eligible Employee’s Account shall be allocated to the Eligible Employee’s
Account as of the last day of each calendar quarter during the Plan Year with respect to which the
Eligible employee has elected to defer a portion of his Base Salary. In each Plan Year in which an
Eligible Employee does not, pursuant to the Eligible Employee’s election, receive payment of the
amount of the Bonus which is payable to him in such Plan Year (which Bonus deferral is based on the
Eligible Employee’s election to defer the payment of any bonus the Eligible Employee might earn for
services performed in such preceding Plan Year), the Bonus Deferral Units and Matching Units
required to be allocated to the Eligible Employee’s Account shall be allocated to the Eligible
Employee’s Account as of the date Eligible Employee would have been paid the portion of his Bonus
(attributable to services performed in the preceding Plan Year) which he has elected to defer.
In each Plan Year in which an Eligible Director defers any portion of the Director Fees which are
payable to him in such Plan Year (which Director Fee deferral is based on the Eligible Director’s
election, made in the preceding Plan Year), the Director Fee Deferral Units required to be
allocated to the Eligible Director’s Account shall be allocated to the Eligible Director’s Account
as of the date provided for in the Deferred Director Fee Election Form and, if the Eligible
Director has elected to defer any portion of his Retainer Fee, Matching Units attributable to the
Eligible Director’s deferral of a portion of his Retainer Fee shall be allocated to the Eligible
Director’s Account on the date provided for in the Deferred Director Fee Election Form.

     7.03 Allocation Does Not Vest Any Interest. The fact that Base Salary Deferral Units,
Bonus Deferral Units, Director Fee Deferral Units and Matching Units have been allocated to the
Account of a Participant shall not vest in such Participant or any Beneficiary any right, title or
interest in any assets of the Company except at such time or times and upon the terms and
conditions herein provided.

     7.04 Statement of Account. At the time that Base Salary Deferral Units, Bonus
Deferral Units, Director Fee Deferral Units and Matching Units are credited to a Participant’s
Account (as provided for in Section 7.02 above) the Committee shall provide a written notice
to the Participant which states the number of Base Salary Deferral Units, Bonus Deferral Units or
the number of Director Fee Deferral Units (whichever the case may be) and the number of

16

 

 Matching
Units credited to the Participant’s Account in connection with the Participant’s deferral of his
receipt of all or a portion of his Base Salary, the Participant’s deferral of his receipt of a
portion of his Bonus or the Participant’s deferral of his receipt of a portion of his Director
Fees, together with a statement of the total number of Base Salary Deferral Units, Bonus Deferral
Units or the total number of Director Fee Deferral Units (whichever the case may be) and the total
number of Matching Units credited to the Participant’s Account as of such date. In addition, as
soon as practicable following the end of each Plan Year, the Committee shall deliver: (a) to each
Eligible Employee that is a Participant: (i) a statement of the total number of Base Salary
Deferral Units, and Matching Units which are credited to the Eligible Employee’s Account, and (ii)
a statement of the total number of Bonus Deferral Units, and Matching Units which are credited to
the Eligible Employee’s Account; and (b) to each Eligible Director that is a Participant, a
statement of the total number of Director Fee Deferral Units and Matching Units which are credited
to the Eligible Director’s Account. Finally, if, as provided by Section 8.01 hereof, the
Participant’s Account is converted to cash (for accounting purposes), as soon as practicable
following the end of each Plan Year that the Participant continues to have a balance in his
Account, the Committee shall deliver to such Participant a statement of the value of the
Participant’s Account and the amount of interest credited to the Participant’s Account for the Plan
Year.

ARTICLE 8.

DISTRIBUTIONS

     8.01
Conversion of Account. (a) If an Eligible Employee’s employment with the
Company and all of its Affiliates is terminated, the Committee shall convert the total number of
Restricted Units credited to the Account of the Eligible Employee to a cash value equal to the
number of Restricted Units credited to the Eligible Employee’s Account determined as of the date
the Eligible Employee’s employment is terminated multiplied by the Fair Market Value of one Share
determined as of the day immediately preceding the date an Eligible Employee’s employment is
terminated. For purposes of this Section 8.01(a), the total number of Restricted Units which are
credited to a Eligible Employee’s Account as of the date the Eligible Employee’s employment is
terminated shall not include any Matching Units which are forfeited pursuant to the provisions of
Section 6.02 hereof.

          (b) If an Eligible Director’s membership on the Board of Directors is terminated, the
Committee shall convert the number of Restricted Units credited to the Account of the Eligible
Director to a cash value equal to the number of Restricted Units credited to the Eligible
Director’s Account determined as of the date the Eligible Director’s membership on the Board of
Directors is terminated multiplied by the Fair Market Value of one Share determined as of the day
immediately preceding the date the Eligible Director’s membership on the Board of Directors is
terminated. For purposes of this Section 8.01(b), the total number of Restricted Units which are
credited to an Eligible Director’s Account shall not include any Matching Units
which are forfeited pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.02 hereof.

          (c) Upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, the Committee shall convert the total number
of Restricted Units credited to the Accounts of all Participants to a cash value equal, in the case
of each Participant, to the number of Restricted Units credited to the

17

 

Participant’s Account
determined as of the date the Change in Control occurs multiplied by the Fair Market Value of one
Share determined as of the date the Change in Control occurs. The conversion of the Participant’s
Account to a cash value shall be for accounting purposes only and shall not require any segregation
of any assets of the Company.

     8.02 Crediting of Interest. Unless a Participant’s Account is distributed in one lump
sum payment pursuant to Section 8.06 hereof, at the end of each Plan Year following the occurrence
of an event giving rise to such installment distribution, the Committee shall increase the cash
value of the Participant’s Account by interest at an annual rate equal to the Applicable Interest
Rate. The amount of the interest to be credited to the Participant’s Account shall be compounded
annually.

     8.03 Distribution of the Participant’s Account. If the employment of an Eligible
Employee that is a Key Employee is terminated for any reason other than death, the value of such
Key Employee’s Account shall be distributed in five (5) consecutive annual installments beginning
in the month of January immediately following the end of the six (6) month period beginning on the
date the Key Employee’s employment is terminated and continuing in each succeeding January
thereafter until the fifth (5th) January following the end of such six (6) month period,
at which time the entire remaining balance in the Eligible Employee’s Account shall be distributed
to the Participant.

          In addition, if the employment of a an Eligible Employee that is not a Key Employee is
terminated or if the employment of an Eligible Employee that is a Key Employee is terminated as a
result of his death, the value of such Eligible Employee’s Account shall be distributed to the
Eligible Employee in five (5) consecutive annual installments beginning in the month of January
immediately following the date the Eligible Employee’s employment is terminated and continuing in
each succeeding January thereafter until the fifth (5th) January following the date the
Eligible Employee’s employment is terminated, at which time the entire remaining balance in the
Eligible Employee’s Account shall be distributed to the Eligible Employee.

          Finally, if an Eligible Director’s membership on the Board of Directors is terminated, the
value of such Eligible Director’s Account shall be distributed to the Eligible Director in five (5)
consecutive annual installments beginning in the month of January immediately following the date
the Eligible Director’s membership on the Board of Directors is terminated and continuing in each
succeeding January thereafter until the fifth (5th) January following the date the
Eligible Director’s membership on the Board of Directors is terminated at which time the entire
remaining balance in the Eligible Director’s Account shall be distributed to the Eligible Director.

          For purposes of the foregoing provisions of this Section 8.03, the amount of each annual
installment shall be equal to the value of the Participant’s Account determined as of the day
immediately preceding the date the installment is to be paid, divided by the total number of annual
installments remaining to be paid to the Participant.

     8.04 Payment of Account. Amounts required to be distributed to a Participant

18

 

pursuant
to Sections 8.03 shall be paid in one payment in the month of January in which any such
distribution is to be made, in cash, less the amount of any withholding taxes due with respect to
any such payment.

     8.05 Distribution on a Change in Control. Upon the occurrence of a Change in Control,
each Participant shall be paid an amount equal to the number of Restricted Units credited to his
Account, determined as of the date the Change in Control occurs, multiplied by the Fair Market
Value of a Share, determined as of the date the Change in Control occurs, less any applicable
withholding taxes. Upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, the amount required to be paid to a
Participant shall be paid to the Participant in cash in one lump sum payment on the date the Change
in Control occurs.

     8.06 Distributions on Death. Any payment or distribution required to be made to a
Participant under the terms of this Plan shall, in the event of the death of the Participant, be
paid to the Participant’s Beneficiary at the same time and in the same manner as the payments would
have been made to the Participant if he had not died.

20

 

amendment to the Plan shall be effective to the extent that it has the effect of decreasing the
value of a Participant’s Account determined as of the date any such amendment is adopted, to the

No Rights Created by Plan - Terms of Employment Not Affected. Neither the

the payment of any benefits, shall be construed as giving to any Participant, Beneficiary or other
person any legal or equitable right against the Company, his Employer or any officer or Employee
thereof or the Committee, except as herein provided. Under no circumstances shall participation in
this Plan by an Employee constitute a contract of continuing employment or in any manner obligate
the Employer to continue the services of an Employee. In addition, under no circumstances shall
participation in this Plan by a non-Employee Director constitute an agreement of the Company, the
Board of Directors or the shareholders of the Company to continue to nominate and elect the

     11.02 Participants Rights Unsecured. The Plan shall at all times be entirely unfunded
and no provision shall at any time be made with respect to segregating any assets of the Company
for payment of any distributions hereunder. The rights of a Participant or his Beneficiary to

Company and neither the Participant nor his Beneficiary shall have any rights in or against
any specific assets of the Company.

for the deferral of compensation of a select group of highly compensated Employees of the Company.

constitute a guaranty by the Company or any other entity or person that the assets of the Company
will be sufficient to pay the benefits hereunder.

21

 

     11.04 Benefits Non-Assignable. No benefit which shall be payable to any person under
this Plan, (including a Participant or his Beneficiary), shall be subject in any manner to
anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance or charge, and any

legal process for or against such person, and the same shall not be recognized by the Committee,
except to such extent as may be required by law.

     11.05 Construed Under Applicable Federal Law and New York Law. This Plan shall be
construed according to applicable Federal Law and the laws of the State of New York and all
provisions hereof shall be administered according to such laws.

shall be deemed an original, and said counterparts shall constitute but one and the same Plan and
may be sufficiently evidenced by any one counterpart.

     11.10 409A Savings Clause. If and to the extent that any provision of this Plan would
result in the payment or deferral of compensation in a manner which does not comply with the
provisions of Section 409A of the Code and the Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder, such
provisions shall, to the maximum extent possible, be construed and interpreted in a manner
which will cause such provisions to be implemented in a manner which complies with the
applicable requirements of Section 409A and the Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder so as
to avoid subjecting any Participant to taxation under Section 409A(a)(i)(A) of the Code.
