     WHEREAS, Parent desires to exchange the Shares for the Sponsor Warrants held by Holders, and
the Holders desire to exchange their Sponsor Warrants for Shares pursuant to the terms hereof (such

     WHEREAS, concurrently with execution hereof, (1) the Holders and Parent are entering into

Agreement”) whereby all of the Shares shall be subject to transfer restrictions as set forth
therein and (2) the Holders, Parent and certain other parties thereto are entering into that
certain Registration Rights Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit C (the “Registration
Rights Agreement”);

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants and conditions
contained herein and the Insider Warrant Lock Up Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement,
the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

1. EXCHANGE OF SPONSOR WARRANTS FOR SHARES. Parent hereby agrees to exchange with the
Holders, and the Holders hereby agree to exchange with Parent, Sponsor Warrants for the Shares,

issuable in the Exchange, are set forth in Exhibit A hereto.

2. CLOSING OF SALE OF SHARES; CLOSING DELIVERABLES. The closing (the “Closing”) of the
Exchange shall take place with respect to (A) 2,480,000 of the Sponsor Warrants on the later of (i)

the terms of the IPO Escrow Agreement), and (B) 1,020,000 Sponsor Warrants held by the Underwriter
and 200,000 Sponsor Warrants held by the Underwriter Group on the later of (i) May 16, 2011, (ii)

instructions regarding the disposition of the Sponsor Warrants as shall be reasonably acceptable to
Parent) and such other documentation, instruments, certificates and agreements as may be reasonably
required by Parent and (ii) Parent shall deliver stock certificates evidencing the Shares issued to
Holders. Following the Closing, Parent shall cancel the Sponsor Warrants surrendered by the
Holders.

3. REPRESENTATIONS, COVENANTS AND WARRANTIES OF HOLDERS.

     Each Holder represents and warrants, severally and not jointly, to Parent as follows:

     A. This Agreement and Insider Warrant Lock-Up Agreement to which it is a party are valid and
binding obligations of the Holder, enforceable against Holder in accordance with their respective
terms (except to the extent that enforcement may be affected by bankruptcy, reorganization,
insolvency and creditors’ rights and by the availability of injunctive relief, specific performance
and other equitable remedies).

     B. The execution, delivery and performance by Holder of this Agreement and Insider Warrant
Lock-Up Agreement to which it is a party will not result in any violation of and will not conflict
with, or result in a breach of, any of the terms of, or constitute a default under, any provision
of any applicable law to which Holder is subject, any mortgage, indenture, agreement, document,
instrument, judgment, decree, order, rule or regulation, or other restriction to which Holder is a
party or by which Holder may be bound, or result in the creation of any lien upon any of the
properties or assets of Holder pursuant to any such term, or result in the suspension, revocation,
impairment, forfeiture or nonrenewal of any permit, license, authorization or approval applicable
to Holder or any of Holder’s assets or properties.

     C. Holder is an “accredited investor” as defined by Rule 501 of Regulation D under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Holder acknowledges that it has such
knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that Holder is capable of evaluating the
merits and risks of an investment in the Shares and of making an informed investment decision with
respect thereto. Holder acknowledges that an investment in the Shares is speculative and involves a
high degree of risk and that Holder can bear such economic risk, including a total loss of its

2

 

investment. Holder is experienced in evaluating and investing in companies such as Parent.

     D. Holder is acquiring the Shares for its own account and not with a view to their
distribution within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act. Holder understands that
such Shares are not registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws, inasmuch as
they are being acquired from Parent in a transaction not involving a public offering, and that
under such laws and applicable regulations such Shares may not be resold without registration under
the Securities Act, unless pursuant to exemptions from registration under the Securities Act and
any state securities laws.

     D. Holder is aware that the Shares are and will be, when issued, “restricted securities” as
that term is defined in Rule 144 of the general rules and regulations under the Act and will be
subject to the transfer restrictions in the Insider Warrant Lock-Up Agreement applicable to such
Holder.

     E. Holder understands that any and all certificates representing the Shares and any and all
securities issued in replacement thereof or in exchange therefor shall bear the following legend or
one substantially similar thereto, which Holder has read and understands:

“THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”) OR ANY STATE
SECURITIES LAW. NO TRANSFER OF THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE SHALL
BE VALID OR EFFECTIVE UNLESS (A) SUCH TRANSFER IS MADE PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE
REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR (B) THE HOLDER SHALL DELIVER
TO THE COMPANY AN OPINION OF ITS COUNSEL, IN FORM AND SUBSTANCE REASONABLY
ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY AND REASONABLY CONCURRED IN BY THE COMPANY’S COUNSEL,
THAT SUCH PROPOSED TRANSFER IS EXEMPT FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE
SECURITIES ACT. THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO, AND
NO TRANSFER OF THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE SHALL BE VALID OR
EFFECTIVE UNLESS IN COMPLIANCE WITH, A LOCK-UP AGREEMENT, DATED MAY 5, 2011
BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND THE HOLDER.”

4. REPRESENTATIONS, COVENANTS AND WARRANTIES OF PARENT.

     Parent represents and warrants to each Holder as follows:

     A. Parent is an entity duly incorporated or otherwise organized, validly existing and in good
standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or

3

 

organization, with the requisite power and authority to own and use its properties and assets
and to carry on its business as currently conducted and as anticipated to be conducted. Parent is
not in violation or default of any of the provisions of its certificate or articles of
incorporation, bylaws or other organizational or charter documents. Parent is duly qualified to
conduct business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation or other entity in each
jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted or property owned by it makes such
qualification necessary.

     B. Parent has the full power and authority, corporate or otherwise, to enter into this
Agreement. The execution, delivery and performance by Parent of this Agreement have been authorized
by all requisite corporate action of Parent and will not result in any violation of and will not
conflict with, or result in a breach of, any of the terms of, or constitute a default under, any
provision of the charter or other governing documents of Parent, any applicable law to which Parent
is subject, any mortgage, indenture, agreement, document, instrument, judgment, decree, order, rule
or regulation, or other restriction to which Parent is a party or by which Parent may be bound, or
result in the creation of any lien upon any of the properties or assets of Parent pursuant to any
such term, or result in the suspension, revocation, impairment, forfeiture or nonrenewal of any
permit, license, authorization or approval applicable to Parent or any of Parent’s assets or
properties.

     C. This Agreement is the valid and binding obligation of Parent, enforceable against Parent in
accordance with its terms (except to the extent that enforcement may be affected by bankruptcy,
reorganization, insolvency and creditors’ rights and by the availability of injunctive relief,
specific performance and other equitable remedies).

     D. The Shares, when issued upon exchange for the Sponsor Warrants pursuant to the terms of
this Agreement, will be duly authorized and, upon issuance and delivery to Holder as contemplated
herein, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

5. CONDITIONS TO THE PARENT’S OBLIGATIONS TO CLOSE. Parent’s obligation hereunder to
effect the Exchange is subject to the satisfaction, on or before the Closing Date, of the following
conditions, and Holders shall cause such conditions to be fulfilled:

irrevocable instructions to the Escrow Agent holding the Sponsor Warrants pursuant to the
Securities Escrow Agreement among the parties hereto and the Escrow Agent, directing their release
to Parent.

     B. The Exchange shall not be prohibited by any applicable law or governmental regulation.

     C. All documents necessary to implement the transactions contemplated herein shall have been
executed and/or delivered by Holders to Parent and shall be satisfactory in form and substance to
Parent.

4

 

     D. The representations and warranties of Holders contained in this Agreement shall be true and
correct when made and at the time of the Closing as though made at such time, and Holders shall
have performed or complied with the covenants, conditions and agreements contained in this
Agreement at or prior to the Closing.

     E. The Merger shall have been consummated.

     F. The Insider Warrant Lock-Up Agreements shall be in full force and effect in accordance
with their terms.

6. CONDITIONS TO HOLDERS’ OBLIGATION TO CLOSE. Each Holder’s obligation hereunder to effect
the Exchange is subject to the satisfaction, on or before the relevant Closing Date, of the
following conditions, and Parent shall use reasonable best efforts to cause such conditions to be
fulfilled:

     A. The representations and warranties of Parent contained in this Agreement or in connection
with the transactions contemplated hereby, shall be true and correct when made and at the time of
the Closing as though made at such time, and Parent shall have performed or complied with the
covenants, conditions and agreement contained in this Agreement at or prior to the Closing.

     B. The Exchange shall not be prohibited by any applicable law or governmental regulation.

     C. Parent shall have delivered to Holders stock certificates representing the Shares
evidencing the issuance of the Shares by Parent to Holders.

     D. The Merger shall have been consummated.

7. REGISTRATION RIGHTS. Upon completion of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and as
partial consideration for the Exchange, Parent hereby agrees, upon the closing of the transactions
contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement and at Parent’s expense, to file an appropriate
registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission covering all of the Shares in
accordance with the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement.

8. CONSENT TO AMENDMENT. This Agreement may not be amended except in writing by each
Holder and Parent.

9. FURTHER ASSURANCES. From time to time each party hereto will execute and deliver to the
other party such other instruments, certificates, agreements and documents and will take such other
action and do all other things as may be reasonably requested by Parent or the Holders in order to
implement or effectuate the terms and provisions of this Agreement.

5

 

10. TRANSFER TAXES. Any and all present or future transfer taxes and all liabilities with
respect thereto attributable to the Exchange shall be borne by the Holders. If Parent is required
by any applicable law to pay any transfer taxes from or in respect of any Shares to be exchanged
hereunder, Parent shall pay the full amount of such transfer taxes to the relevant taxation
authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law and would, in turn, deduct such
amount from the consideration to be received by the Holders pursuant to this Agreement in a manner
that may reduce the number of Shares that Parent is required to exchange with the Holders pursuant
to this Agreement.

10. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. All covenants and other agreements contained in this Agreement
by or on behalf of any of the parties hereto shall bind and inure to the benefit of the respective
successors and permitted assigns of the parties hereto. This Agreement and the obligations
hereunder shall not be assignable by Holders or Parent without express written consent to such
assignment, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld by the party from which such consent
is sought.

11. GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with
the laws of the State of Delaware applicable to contracts made and to be performed wholly within
the State of Delaware.

12. COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of
which shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same
instrument.

Exhibit 10.27

57TH STREET ACQUISITION CORP.

EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN

     1. Purpose. The purpose of the 57th Street Acquisition Corp. Equity Incentive Plan is to
provide a means through which the Company and its Affiliates may attract and retain key personnel
and to provide a means whereby directors, officers, members, managers, employees, consultants and
advisors (and prospective directors, officers, members, managers, employees, consultants and
advisors) of the Company and its Affiliates can acquire and maintain an equity interest in the
Company, or be paid incentive compensation, which may (but need not) be measured by reference to
the value of Common Shares, thereby strengthening their commitment to the welfare of the Company
and its Affiliates and aligning their interests with those of the Company’s stockholders.

     2. Definitions. The following definitions shall be applicable throughout this Plan:

          (a) “Affiliate” means (i) any person or entity that directly or indirectly controls,
is controlled by or is under common control with the Company and/or (ii) to the extent provided by
the Committee, any person or entity in which the Company has a significant interest as determined
by the Committee in its discretion. The term “control” (including, with correlative meaning, the
terms “controlled by” and “under common control with”), as applied to any person or entity, means
the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the
management and policies of such person or entity, whether through the ownership of voting or other
securities, by contract or otherwise.

          (b) “Award” means, individually or collectively, any Incentive Stock Option,
Nonqualified Stock Option, Stock Appreciation Right, Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Unit, Stock
Bonus Award, and Performance Compensation Award granted under this Plan.

          (c) “Board” means the Board of Directors of the Company.

          (d) “Business Combination” has the meaning given such term in the definition of
“Change in Control.”

          (e) “Business Day” means any day other than a Saturday, a Sunday or a day on which
banking institutions in New York City are authorized or obligated by federal law or executive order
to be closed

          (f) “Cause” means, in the case of a particular Award, unless the applicable Award
agreement states otherwise, (i) the Company or an Affiliate having “cause” to terminate a
Participant’s employment or service, as defined in any employment or consulting agreement or
similar document or policy between the Participant and the Company or an Affiliate in effect at the
time of such termination or (ii) in the absence of any such employment or consulting agreement,
document or policy (or the absence of any definition of “Cause” contained therein), (A) the
Participant’s commission of, conviction for, plea of guilty or nolo contendere to a felony or a
crime involving moral turpitude, or other material act or omission involving dishonesty or fraud,
regardless of whether involving the Company or its Affiliates, (B) the Participant’s

 

 

conduct that results in or is reasonably likely to result in harm to the reputation or
business of the Company or any of its Affiliates in any material way, (C) the Participant’s (1)
failure to perform duties as reasonably directed by or on behalf of the Company, (2) material
breach of any agreement between the Participant and the Company or its Affiliates (including,
without limitation, any consulting, confidentiality, intellectual property assignment,
non-solicitation or non-competition agreement), which, if curable, is not cured within 5 Business
Days after notice thereof is provided to the Participant or (3) material violation of any rule,
regulation, policy or plan for the conduct of (as the case may be) any director, officer, employee,
member, manager, consultant or service provider of or to the Company or its Affiliates or its or
their business (which, if curable, is not cured within 5 Business Days after notice thereof is
provided to the Participant) or (D) the Participant’s gross negligence, fraud, willful malfeasance
or material act of disloyalty with respect to the Company or its Affiliates (which, if curable, is
not cured within 5 Business Days after notice thereof is provided to the Participant). Any
determination of whether Cause exists shall be made by the Committee in its sole discretion.

          (g) “Change in Control” shall, in the case of a particular Award, unless the
applicable Award agreement states otherwise or contains a different definition of “Change in
Control,” be deemed to occur upon:

               (i) Any sale, lease, exchange or other transfer (in one or a series of related transactions)
of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company;

               (ii) Any “person” as such term is used in Section 13(d) and Section 14(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) is or becomes, directly or indirectly, the
“beneficial owner” as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act of securities of the Company
that represent more than 50% of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding voting
securities (the “Outstanding Company Voting Securities”); provided, however, that,
for purposes of this Section 2(f), the following acquisitions shall not constitute a Change in
Control: (I) any acquisition directly from the Company, (II) any acquisition by the Company, (III)
any acquisition by any employee benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained by the
Company or any Affiliate, (IV) any acquisition by any corporation pursuant to a transaction that
complies with Sections 2(f)(iv)(A) and 2(f)(iv)(B), (V) any acquisition involving beneficial
ownership of less than 50% of the then-outstanding Common Shares (the “Outstanding Company Common
Shares”) or the Outstanding Company Voting Securities that is determined by the Board, based on
review of public disclosure by the acquiring Person with respect to its passive investment intent,
not to have a purpose or effect of changing or influencing the control of the Company;
provided, however, that for purposes of this clause (V), any such acquisition in
connection with (x) an actual or threatened election contest with respect to the election or
removal of directors or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents or (y) any
“Business Combination” (as defined below) shall be presumed to be for the purpose or with the
effect of changing or influencing the control of the Company;

               (iii) During any period of two (2) consecutive years, the individuals who at the beginning of
such period constituted the Board together with any individuals subsequently elected to the Board
whose nomination by the stockholders of the Company was approved by a vote of the then incumbent
Board (i.e. those members of the Board who either

2

 

have been directors from the beginning of such two-year period or whose election or nomination for
election was previously approved by the Board as provided in this Section 2(f)(iii)) cease for any
reason to constitute a majority of the Board;

               (iv) The Board or the stockholders of the Company approve and consummate a merger,
amalgamation or consolidation (a “Business Combination”) of the Company with any other corporation,
unless, following such Business Combination, (A) all or substantially all of the individuals and
entities that were the beneficial owners of the Outstanding Company Common Shares and the
Outstanding Company Voting Securities immediately prior to such Business Combination beneficially
own, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the then-outstanding shares of common stock (or, for
a non-corporate entity, equivalent securities) and the combined voting power of the
then-outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors (or, for
a non-corporate entity, equivalent governing body), as the case may be, of the entity resulting
from such Business Combination (including, without limitation, an entity that, as a result of such
transaction, owns the Company or all or substantially all of the Company’s assets either directly
or through one or more subsidiaries) in substantially the same proportions as their ownership
immediately prior to such Business Combination of the Outstanding Company Common Shares and the
Outstanding Company Voting Securities, as the case may be, and (B) at least a majority of the
members of the board of directors (or, for a non-corporate entity, equivalent governing body) of
the entity resulting from such Business Combination were members of the incumbent Board at the time
of the execution of the initial agreement or of the action of the Board providing for such Business
Combination;

               (v) The date which is 10 Business Days prior to the approval by the Board of the complete
liquidation of the Company.

Agreement entered into as of January 9, 2011, as amended by that certain Amendment to Business

Crumbs Holdings LLC, and certain other parties set forth therein shall not constitute a Change in
Control.

          (h) “Code” means the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and any successor

regulations or other interpretative guidance under such section, and any amendments or successor

until this Plan has been approved by the stockholders of the Company, which approval shall be

     4. Administration. (a) The Committee shall administer this Plan. To the extent required to
comply with the provisions of Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act (if the Board is not
acting as the Committee under this Plan) or necessary to obtain the exception for performance-based
compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code, as applicable, it is intended that each member of
the Committee shall, at the time he takes any action with respect to an Award under this Plan, be
an Eligible Director. However, the fact that a Committee member shall fail to qualify as an
Eligible Director shall not invalidate any Award granted by the Committee that is otherwise validly
granted under this Plan. The acts of a majority of the members present at any meeting at which a
quorum is present or acts approved in writing by a majority of the Committee shall be deemed the
acts of the Committee. Whether a quorum is present shall be determined based on the Committee’s
charter as approved by the Board.

sole and plenary authority, in addition to other express powers and authorizations conferred on the
Committee by this Plan, to: (i) designate Participants; (ii) determine the type or types of Awards
to be granted to a Participant; (iii) determine the number of Common Shares to be covered by, or
with respect to which payments, rights, or other matters are to be calculated in connection with,
Awards; (iv) determine the terms and conditions of any Award; (v) determine whether, to what
extent, and under what circumstances Awards may be settled or exercised in cash, Common Shares,
other securities, other Awards or other property, or canceled, forfeited, or suspended and the
method or methods by which Awards may be settled, exercised, canceled, forfeited, or suspended;
(vi) determine whether, to what extent, and under what circumstances the delivery of cash, Common
Shares, other securities, other Awards or other property and other amounts payable with respect to
an Award shall be deferred either automatically or at the election of the Participant or of the
Committee; (vii) interpret, administer, reconcile any inconsistency in, correct any defect in
and/or supply any omission in this Plan and any instrument or agreement relating to, or Award
granted under, this Plan; (viii) establish, amend, suspend, or waive any rules and regulations and
appoint such agents as the Committee shall deem appropriate for the proper administration of this
Plan; (ix) accelerate the vesting or exercisability of, payment for or lapse of restrictions on,
Awards; and (x) make any other determination and take any other action that the Committee deems
necessary or desirable for the administration of this Plan.

          (c) The Committee may delegate to one or more officers of the Company or any Affiliate the
authority to act on behalf of the Committee with respect to any matter, right, obligation, or
election that is the responsibility of or that is allocated to the Committee herein, and that may
be so delegated as a matter of law, except for grants of Awards to persons (i) subject to Section
16 of the Exchange Act or (ii) who are, or who are reasonably expected to be, “covered employees”
for purposes of Section 162(m) of the Code.

8

 

          (d) Unless otherwise expressly provided in this Plan, all designations, determinations,
interpretations, and other decisions under or with respect to this Plan or any Award or any
documents evidencing Awards granted pursuant to this Plan shall be within the sole discretion of
the Committee, may be made at any time and shall be final, conclusive and binding upon all persons
or entities, including, without limitation, the Company, any Affiliate, any Participant, any holder
or beneficiary of any Award, and any stockholder of the Company.

          (e) No member of the Board, the Committee, delegate of the Committee or any employee, advisor
or agent of the Company or the Board or the Committee (each such person, an “Indemnifiable Person”)
shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken or any determination made in good faith
with respect to this Plan or any Award hereunder. Each Indemnifiable Person shall be indemnified
and held harmless by the Company against and from (and the Company shall pay or reimburse on demand
for) any loss, cost, liability, or expense (including attorneys’ fees) that may be imposed upon or
incurred by such Indemnifiable Person in connection with or resulting from any action, suit or
proceeding to which such Indemnifiable Person may be a party or in which such Indemnifiable Person
may be involved by reason of any action taken or omitted to be taken under this Plan or any Award
agreement and against and from any and all amounts paid by such Indemnifiable Person with the
Company’s approval, in settlement thereof, or paid by such Indemnifiable Person in satisfaction of
any judgment in any such action, suit or proceeding against such Indemnifiable Person,
provided, that the Company shall have the right, at its own expense, to assume and defend
any such action, suit or proceeding and once the Company gives notice of its intent to assume the
defense, the Company shall have sole control over such defense with counsel of the Company’s
choice. The foregoing right of indemnification shall not be available to an Indemnifiable Person
to the extent that a final judgment or other final adjudication (in either case not subject to
further appeal) binding upon such Indemnifiable Person determines that the acts or omissions of
such Indemnifiable Person giving rise to the indemnification claim resulted from such Indemnifiable
Person’s bad faith, fraud or willful criminal act or omission or that such right of indemnification
is otherwise prohibited by law or by the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws. The
foregoing right of indemnification shall not be exclusive of any other rights of indemnification to
which such Indemnifiable Persons may be entitled under the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation
or Bylaws, as a matter of law, or otherwise, or any other power that the Company may have to
indemnify such Indemnifiable Persons or hold them harmless.

          (f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Plan, the Board may, in its
sole discretion, at any time and from time to time, grant Awards and administer this Plan with
respect to such Awards. In any such case, the Board shall have all the authority granted to the
Committee under this Plan.

     5. Grant of Awards; Shares Subject to this Plan; Limitations. (a) The Committee may, from
time to time, grant Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units,
Stock Bonus Awards and/or Performance Compensation Awards to one or more Eligible Persons.

          (b) Awards granted under this Plan shall be subject to the following limitations: (i) subject
to Section 12 of this Plan, the Committee is authorized to deliver under this Plan 338,295 Common
Shares. Subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 12, no

9

 

Participant shall be granted, during any one (1) year period, Options to purchase Common
Shares or Stock Appreciation Rights with respect to more than 338,295 Common Shares or any other
Awards with respect to more than 338,295 Common Shares.

          (c) Use of Common Shares to pay the required Exercise Price or tax obligations, or shares not
issued in connection with settlement of an Option or SAR or that are used or withheld to satisfy
tax obligations of the Participant shall, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, not be
available again for other Awards under this Plan. Shares underlying Awards under this Plan that
are forfeited, cancelled, expire unexercised, or are settled in cash are available again for Awards
under this Plan.

          (d) Common Shares delivered by the Company in settlement of Awards may be authorized and
unissued shares, shares held in the treasury of the Company, shares purchased on the open market or
by private purchase, or a combination of the foregoing.

          (e) Awards may, in the sole discretion of the Committee, be granted under this Plan in
assumption of, or in substitution for, outstanding awards previously granted by an entity acquired
by the Company or with which the Company combines (“Substitute Awards”). The number of Common
Shares underlying any Substitute Awards shall be counted against the aggregate number of Common
Shares available for Awards under this Plan.

     6. Eligibility. Participation shall be limited to Eligible Persons who have entered into an
Award agreement or who have received written notification from the Committee, or from a person
designated by the Committee, that they have been selected to participate in this Plan.

     7. Options. (a) Generally. Each Option granted under this Plan shall be evidenced by
an Award agreement (whether in paper or electronic medium (including email or the posting on a web
site maintained by the Company or a third party under contract with the Company)). Each Option so
granted shall be subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 7, and to such other
conditions not inconsistent with this Plan as may be reflected in the applicable Award agreement.
All Options granted under this Plan shall be Nonqualified Stock Options unless the applicable Award
agreement expressly states that the Option is intended to be an Incentive Stock Option. Incentive
Stock Options shall be granted only to Eligible Persons who are employees of the Company and its
Affiliates, and no Incentive Stock Option shall be granted to any Eligible Person who is ineligible
to receive an Incentive Stock Option under the Code. No Option shall be treated as an Incentive
Stock Option unless this Plan has been approved by the stockholders of the Company in a manner
intended to comply with the stockholder approval requirements of Section 422(b)(1) of the Code,
provided that any Option intended to be an Incentive Stock Option shall not fail to be effective
solely on account of a failure to obtain such approval, but rather such Option shall be treated as
a Nonqualified Stock Option unless and until such approval is obtained. In the case of an
Incentive Stock Option, the terms and conditions of such grant shall be subject to and comply with
such rules as may be prescribed by Section 422 of the Code. If for any reason an Option intended
to be an Incentive Stock Option (or any portion thereof) shall not qualify as an Incentive Stock
Option, then, to the extent of such nonqualification, such Option or portion thereof shall be
regarded as a Nonqualified Stock Option appropriately granted under this Plan.

10

 

          (b) Exercise Price. The exercise price (“Exercise Price”) per Common Share for each
Option shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of such share determined as of the Date
of Grant; provided, however, that in the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to an employee
who, at the time of the grant of such Option, owns shares representing more than 10% of the voting
power of all classes of shares of the Company or any Affiliate, the Exercise Price per share shall
not be less than 110% of the Fair Market Value per share on the Date of Grant and provided further
that, notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the Exercise Price shall not be less
than the par value per Common Share.

          (c) Vesting and Expiration. Options shall vest and become exercisable in such manner
and on such date or dates determined by the Committee and shall expire after such period, not to
exceed ten years, as may be determined by the Committee (the “Option Period”); provided,
however, that the Option Period shall not exceed five years from the Date of Grant in the
case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to a Participant who on the Date of Grant owns shares
representing more than 10% of the voting power of all classes of shares of the Company or any
Affiliate; provided, further, that notwithstanding any vesting dates set by the
Committee, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, accelerate the exercisability of any Option,
which acceleration shall not affect the terms and conditions of such Option other than with respect
to exercisability. Unless otherwise provided by the Committee in an Award agreement: (i) an
Option shall vest and become exercisable with respect to 100% of the Common Shares subject to such
Option on the third anniversary of the Date of Grant; (ii) the unvested portion of an Option shall
expire upon termination of employment or service of the Participant granted the Option, and the
vested portion of such Option shall remain exercisable for (A) one year following termination of
employment or service by reason of such Participant’s death or disability (as determined by the
Committee), but not later than the expiration of the Option Period or (B) 90 calendar days
following termination of employment or service for any reason other than such Participant’s death
or disability, and other than such Participant’s termination of employment or service for Cause,
but not later than the expiration of the Option Period; and (iii) both the unvested and the vested
portion of an Option shall expire upon the termination of the Participant’s employment or service
by the Company for Cause.

          (d) Method of Exercise and Form of Payment. No Common Shares shall be delivered
pursuant to any exercise of an Option until payment in full of the Exercise Price therefor is
received by the Company and the Participant has paid to the Company an amount equal to any federal,
state, local and non-U.S. income and employment taxes required to be withheld. Options that have
become exercisable may be exercised by delivery of written or electronic notice of exercise to the
Company in accordance with the terms of the Option accompanied by payment of the Exercise Price.
The Exercise Price shall be payable (i) in cash, check, cash equivalent and/or Common Shares valued
at the fair market value at the time the Option is exercised (including, pursuant to procedures
approved by the Committee, by means of attestation of ownership of a sufficient number of Common
Shares in lieu of actual delivery of such shares to the Company); provided, that such
Common Shares are not subject to any pledge or other security interest and are Mature Shares and;
(ii) by such other method as the Committee may permit in accordance with applicable law, in its
sole discretion, including without limitation: (A) in other property having a fair market value on
the date of exercise equal to the Exercise Price or (B) if there is a public market for the Common
Shares at such time, by means of a broker-assisted “cashless exercise” pursuant to which the
Company is delivered a copy of

11

 

irrevocable instructions to a stockbroker to sell the Common Shares otherwise deliverable upon
the exercise of the Option and to deliver promptly to the Company an amount equal to the Exercise
Price or (C) by a “net exercise” method whereby the Company withholds from the delivery of the
Common Shares for which the Option was exercised that number of Common Shares having a fair market
value equal to the aggregate Exercise Price for the Common Shares for which the Option was
exercised. Any fractional Common Shares shall be settled in cash.

          (e) Notification upon Disqualifying Disposition of an Incentive Stock Option. Each
Participant awarded an Incentive Stock Option under this Plan shall notify the Company in writing
immediately after the date he makes a disqualifying disposition of any Common Shares acquired
pursuant to the exercise of such Incentive Stock Option. A disqualifying disposition is any
disposition (including, without limitation, any sale) of such Common Shares before the later of (A)
two years after the Date of Grant of the Incentive Stock Option or (B) one year after the date of
exercise of the Incentive Stock Option. The Company may, if determined by the Committee and in
accordance with procedures established by the Committee, retain possession of any Common Shares
acquired pursuant to the exercise of an Incentive Stock Option as agent for the applicable
Participant until the end of the period described in the preceding sentence.

          (f) Compliance With Laws, etc. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall a
Participant be permitted to exercise an Option in a manner that the Committee determines would
violate the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, if applicable, or any other applicable law or the
applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission or the applicable rules
and regulations of any securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system on which the securities
of the Company are listed or traded.

     8. Stock Appreciation Rights. (a) Generally. Each SAR granted under this Plan shall
be evidenced by an Award agreement (whether in paper or electronic medium (including email or the
posting on a web site maintained by the Company or a third party under contract with the Company)).
Each SAR so granted shall be subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 8, and to such
other conditions not inconsistent with this Plan as may be reflected in the applicable Award
agreement. Any Option granted under this Plan may include tandem SARs. The Committee also may
award SARs to Eligible Persons independent of any Option.

          (b) Exercise Price. The Exercise Price per Common Share for each Option shall not be
less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of such share determined as of the Date of Grant.

          (c) Vesting and Expiration. A SAR granted in connection with an Option shall become
exercisable and shall expire according to the same vesting schedule and expiration provisions as
the corresponding Option. A SAR granted independent of an Option shall vest and become exercisable
and shall expire in such manner and on such date or dates determined by the Committee and shall
expire after such period, not to exceed ten years, as may be determined by the Committee (the “SAR
Period”); provided, however, that notwithstanding any vesting dates set by the Committee, the
Committee may, in its sole discretion, accelerate the exercisability of any SAR, which acceleration
shall not affect the terms and conditions of such SAR other than with respect to exercisability.
Unless otherwise provided by the Committee in an Award agreement: (i) a SAR shall vest and become
exercisable with respect to 100% of the Common

12

 

Shares subject to such SAR on the third anniversary of the Date of Grant; (ii) the unvested
portion of a SAR shall expire upon termination of employment or service of the Participant granted
the SAR, and the vested portion of such SAR shall remain exercisable for (A) one year following
termination of employment or service by reason of such Participant’s death or disability (as
determined by the Committee), but not later than the expiration of the SAR Period or (B) 90
calendar days following termination of employment or service for any reason other than such
Participant’s death or disability, and other than such Participant’s termination of employment or
service for Cause, but not later than the expiration of the SAR Period; and (iii) both the unvested
and the vested portion of a SAR shall expire upon the termination of the Participant’s employment
or service by the Company for Cause.

          (d) Method of Exercise. SARs that have become exercisable may be exercised by
delivery of written or electronic notice of exercise to the Company in accordance with the terms of
the Award, specifying the number of SARs to be exercised and the date on which such SARs were
awarded. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if on the last day of the Option Period (or in the case of
a SAR independent of an option, the SAR Period), the fair market value exceeds the Strike Price,
the Participant has not exercised the SAR or the corresponding Option (if applicable), and neither
the SAR nor the corresponding Option (if applicable) has expired, such SAR shall be deemed to have
been exercised by the Participant on such last day and the Company shall make the appropriate
payment therefor.

          (e) Payment. Upon the exercise of a SAR, the Company shall pay to the Participant an
amount equal to the number of shares subject to the SAR that are being exercised multiplied by the
excess, if any, of the fair market value of one Common Share on the exercise date over the Strike
Price, less an amount equal to any federal, state, local and non-U.S. income and employment taxes
required to be withheld. The Company shall pay such amount in cash, in Common Shares valued at
fair market value, or any combination thereof, as determined by the Committee. Any fractional
Common Share shall be settled in cash.

     9. Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units. (a) Generally. Each grant of
Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units shall be evidenced by an Award agreement (whether in
paper or electronic medium (including email or the posting on a web site maintained by the Company
or a third party under contract with the Company)). Each such grant shall be subject to the
conditions set forth in this Section 9, and to such other conditions not inconsistent with this
Plan as may be reflected in the applicable Award agreement.

          (b) Restricted Accounts; Escrow or Similar Arrangement. Upon the grant of Restricted
Stock, a book entry in a restricted account shall be established in the Participant’s name at the
Company’s transfer agent and, if the Committee determines that the Restricted Stock shall be held
by the Company or in escrow rather than held in such restricted account pending the release of the
applicable restrictions, the Committee may require the Participant to additionally execute and
deliver to the Company (i) an escrow agreement satisfactory to the Committee, if applicable, and
(ii) the appropriate share power (endorsed in blank) with respect to the Restricted Stock covered
by such agreement. If a Participant shall fail to execute an agreement evidencing an Award of
Restricted Stock and, if applicable, an escrow agreement and blank share power within the amount of
time specified by the Committee, the Award shall be null and void. Subject to the restrictions set
forth in this Section 9 and the applicable Award

13

 

agreement, the Participant generally shall have the rights and privileges of a stockholder as
to such Restricted Stock, including without limitation the right to vote such Restricted Stock and
the right to receive dividends, if applicable. To the extent shares of Restricted Stock are
forfeited, any share certificates issued to the Participant evidencing such shares shall be
returned to the Company, and all rights of the Participant to such shares and as a stockholder with
respect thereto shall terminate without further obligation on the part of the Company.

          (c) Vesting; Acceleration of Lapse of Restrictions. Unless otherwise provided by the
Committee in an Award agreement: (i) the Restricted Period shall lapse with respect to 100% of the
Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units on the third anniversary of the Date of Grant; and (ii)
the unvested portion of Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units shall terminate and be
forfeited upon termination of employment or service of the Participant granted the applicable
Award.

          (d) Delivery of Restricted Stock and Settlement of Restricted Stock Units. (i) Upon
the expiration of the Restricted Period with respect to any shares of Restricted Stock, the
restrictions set forth in the applicable Award agreement shall be of no further force or effect
with respect to such shares, except as set forth in the applicable Award agreement. If an escrow
arrangement is used, upon such expiration, the Company shall deliver to the Participant, or his
beneficiary, without charge, the share certificate evidencing the shares of Restricted Stock that
have not then been forfeited and with respect to which the Restricted Period has expired (rounded
down to the nearest full share). Dividends, if any, that may have been withheld by the Committee
and attributable to any particular share of Restricted Stock shall be distributed to the
Participant in cash or, at the sole discretion of the Committee, in shares of Common Stock having a
fair market value equal to the amount of such dividends, upon the release of restrictions on such
share and, if such share is forfeited, the Participant shall have no right to such dividends
(except as otherwise set forth by the Committee in the applicable Award agreement).

               (ii) Unless otherwise provided by the Committee in an Award agreement, upon the expiration of
the Restricted Period with respect to any outstanding Restricted Stock Units, the Company shall
deliver to the Participant, or his beneficiary, without charge, one Common Share for each such
outstanding Restricted Stock Unit; provided, however, that the Committee may, in
its sole discretion, elect to (i) pay cash or part cash and part Common Share in lieu of delivering
only Common Shares in respect of such Restricted Stock Units or (ii) defer the delivery of Common
Shares (or cash or part Common Shares and part cash, as the case may be) beyond the expiration of
the Restricted Period if such delivery would result in a violation of applicable law until such
time as is no longer the case. If a cash payment is made in lieu of delivering Common Shares, the
amount of such payment shall be equal to the fair market value of the Common Shares as of the date
on which the Restricted Period lapsed with respect to such Restricted Stock Units, less an amount
equal to any federal, state, local and non-U.S. income and employment taxes required to be
withheld.

     10. Stock Bonus Awards. The Committee may issue unrestricted Common Shares, or other Awards
denominated in Common Shares, under this Plan to Eligible Persons, either alone or in tandem with
other awards, in such amounts as the Committee shall from time to time in its sole discretion
determine. Each Stock Bonus Award granted under this Plan shall be evidenced by an Award agreement
(whether in paper or electronic medium (including email or the posting

14

 

on a web site maintained by the Company or a third party under contract with the Company)).
Each Stock Bonus Award so granted shall be subject to such conditions not inconsistent with this
Plan as may be reflected in the applicable Award agreement.

     11. Performance Compensation Awards. (a) Generally. The Committee shall have the
authority, at the time of grant of any Award described in Sections 7 through 10 of this Plan, to
designate such Award as a Performance Compensation Award intended to qualify as “performance-based
compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code. The Committee shall have the authority to make an
award of a cash bonus to any Participant and designate such Award as a Performance Compensation
Award intended to qualify as “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code.

          (b) Discretion of Committee with Respect to Performance Compensation Awards. With
regard to a particular Performance Period, the Committee shall have sole discretion to select the
length of such Performance Period, the type(s) of Performance Compensation Awards to be issued, the
Performance Criteria that will be used to establish the Performance Goal(s), the kind(s) and/or
level(s) of the Performance Goals(s) that is (are) to apply and the Performance Formula. Within
the first 90 calendar days of a Performance Period (or, if longer or shorter, within the maximum
period allowed under Section 162(m) of the Code, if applicable), the Committee shall, with regard
to the Performance Compensation Awards to be issued for such Performance Period, exercise its
discretion with respect to each of the matters enumerated in the immediately preceding sentence and
record the same in writing.

          (c) Performance Criteria. The Performance Criteria that will be used to establish the
Performance Goal(s) shall be based on the attainment of specific levels of performance of the
Company (and/or one or more Affiliates, divisions or operational units, or any combination of the
foregoing) and shall include the following: (i) net earnings or net income (before or after
taxes); (ii) basic or diluted earnings per share (before or after taxes); (iii) net revenue or
revenue growth; (iv) gross profit or gross profit growth; (v) operating profit (before or after
taxes); (vi) return measures (including, but not limited to, return on assets, capital, invested
capital, equity, or sales); (vii) cash flow (including, but not limited to, operating cash flow,
free cash flow, and cash flow return on capital); (viii) earnings before or after taxes, interest,
depreciation and/or amortization; (ix) gross or operating margins; (x) productivity ratios; (xi)
share price (including, but not limited to, growth measures and total stockholder return); (xii)
expense targets; (xiii) margins; (xiv) operating efficiency; (xv) objective measures of customer
satisfaction; (xvi) working capital targets; (xvii) measures of economic value added; (xviii)
inventory control; (xix) enterprise value; (xx) sales; (xxi) debt levels and net debt; (xxii)
combined ratio; (xxiii) launch or acquisition (including the timings therefore) of new stores or
other facilities; (xxiv) customer retention; (xxv) employee retention; (xxvi) timely completion of
new product rollouts; and (xxvii) objective measures of personal targets, goals or completion of
projects. Any one or more of the Performance Criteria may be used on an absolute or relative basis
to measure the performance of the Company and/or one or more Affiliates as a whole or any business
unit(s) of the Company and/or one or more Affiliates or any combination thereof, as the Committee
may deem appropriate, or any of the above Performance Criteria may be compared to the performance
of a selected group of comparison companies, or a published or special index that the Committee, in
its sole discretion, deems appropriate, or as compared to various stock market indices. The
Committee also has the authority to provide for accelerated

15

 

vesting of any Award based on the achievement of Performance Goals pursuant to the Performance
Criteria specified in this paragraph. To the extent required under Section 162(m) of the Code, the
Committee shall, within the first 90 calendar days of a Performance Period (or, if longer or
shorter, within the maximum period allowed under Section 162(m) of the Code), define in an
objective fashion the manner of calculating the Performance Criteria it selects to use for such
Performance Period and thereafter promptly communicate such Performance Criteria to the
Participant.

          (d) Modification of Performance Goal(s). In the event that applicable tax and/or
securities laws change to permit Committee discretion to alter the governing Performance Criteria
without obtaining stockholder approval of such alterations, the Committee shall have sole
discretion to make such alterations without obtaining stockholder approval. The Committee is
authorized at any time during the first 90 calendar days of a Performance Period (or, if longer or
shorter, within the maximum period allowed under Section 162(m) of the Code, if applicable), or at
any time thereafter to the extent the exercise of such authority at such time would not cause the
Performance Compensation Awards granted to any Participant for such Performance Period to fail to
qualify as “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code, in its sole
discretion, to adjust or modify the calculation of a Performance Goal for such Performance Period,
based on and in order to appropriately reflect the following events: (i) asset write-downs; (ii)
litigation or claim judgments or settlements; (iii) the effect of changes in tax laws, accounting
principles, or other laws or regulatory rules affecting reported results; (iv) any reorganization
and restructuring programs; (v) extraordinary nonrecurring items as described in Accounting
Principles Board Opinion No. 30 (or any successor pronouncement thereto) and/or in management’s
discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations appearing in the Company’s
annual report to stockholders for the applicable year; (vi) acquisitions or divestitures; (vii) any
other specific unusual or nonrecurring events, or objectively determinable category thereof; (viii)
foreign exchange gains and losses; and (ix) a change in the Company’s fiscal year.

          (e) Payment of Performance Compensation Awards. (i) Condition to Receipt of
Payment. Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Award agreement, a Participant must be
employed by the Company on the last day of a Performance Period to be eligible for payment in
respect of a Performance Compensation Award for such Performance Period.

               (ii) Limitation. A Participant shall be eligible to receive payment in respect of a
Performance Compensation Award only to the extent that: (A) the Performance Goals for such period
are achieved; and (B) all or some of the portion of such Participant’s Performance Compensation
Award has been earned for the Performance Period based on the application of the Performance
Formula to such achieved Performance Goals.

               (iii) Certification. Following the completion of a Performance Period, the Committee
shall review and certify in writing whether, and to what extent, the Performance Goals for the
Performance Period have been achieved and, if so, calculate and certify in writing that amount of
the Performance Compensation Awards earned for the period based upon the Performance Formula. The
Committee shall then determine the amount of each Participant’s Performance Compensation Award
actually payable for the Performance Period and, in so doing, may apply Negative Discretion.

16

 

               (iv) Use of Negative Discretion. In determining the actual amount of an individual
Participant’s Performance Compensation Award for a Performance Period, the Committee may reduce or
eliminate the amount of the Performance Compensation Award earned under the Performance Formula in
the Performance Period through the use of Negative Discretion if, in its sole judgment, such
reduction or elimination is appropriate. The Committee shall not have the discretion, except as is
otherwise provided in this Plan, to (A) grant or provide payment in respect of Performance
Compensation Awards for a Performance Period if the Performance Goals for such Performance Period
have not been attained; or (B) increase a Performance Compensation Award above the applicable
limitations set forth in Section 5 of this Plan.

          (f) Timing of Award Payments. Performance Compensation Awards granted for a
Performance Period shall be paid to Participants as soon as administratively practicable following
completion of the certifications required by this Section 11, but in no event later than
two-and-one-half months following the end of the fiscal year during which the Performance Period is
completed.

     12. Changes in Capital Structure and Similar Events. In the event of (a) any dividend or
other distribution (whether in the form of cash, Common Shares, other securities or other
property), recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, merger,
amalgamation, consolidation, split-up, split-off, combination, repurchase or exchange of Common
Shares or other securities of the Company, issuance of warrants or other rights to acquire Common
Shares or other securities of the Company, or other similar corporate transaction or event
(including, without limitation, a Change in Control) that affects the Common Shares, or (b) unusual
or nonrecurring events (including, without limitation, a Change in Control) affecting the Company,
any Affiliate, or the financial statements of the Company or any Affiliate, or changes in
applicable rules, rulings, regulations or other requirements of any governmental body or securities
exchange or inter-dealer quotation system, accounting principles or law, such that in either case
an adjustment is determined by the Committee in its sole discretion to be necessary or appropriate,
then the Committee shall make any such adjustments that are equitable, including without limitation
any or all of the following:

               (i) adjusting any or all of (A) the number of Common Shares or other securities of the Company
(or number and kind of other securities or other property) that may be delivered in respect of
Awards or with respect to which Awards may be granted under this Plan (including, without
limitation, adjusting any or all of the limitations under Section 5 of this Plan) and (B) the terms
of any outstanding Award, including, without limitation, (1) the number of Common Shares or other
securities of the Company (or number and kind of other securities or other property) subject to
outstanding Awards or to which outstanding Awards relate, (2) the Exercise Price or Strike Price
with respect to any Award or (3) any applicable performance measures (including, without
limitation, Performance Criteria and Performance Goals);

               (ii) providing for a substitution or assumption of Awards, accelerating the exercisability of,
lapse of restrictions on, or termination of, Awards or providing for a period of time for exercise
prior to the occurrence of such event; and

17

 

               (iii) canceling any one or more outstanding Awards and causing to be paid to the holders
thereof, in cash, Common Shares, other securities or other property, or any combination thereof,
the value of such Awards, if any, as determined by the Committee (which if applicable may be based
upon the price per Common Share received or to be received by other stockholders of the Company in
such event), including without limitation, in the case of an outstanding Option or SAR, a cash
payment in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the fair market value (as of a date specified
by the Committee) of the Common Shares subject to such Option or SAR over the aggregate Exercise
Price or Strike Price of such Option or SAR, respectively (it being understood that, in such event,
any Option or SAR having a per share Exercise Price or Strike Price equal to, or in excess of, the
fair market value of a Common Share subject thereto may be canceled and terminated without any
payment or consideration therefor);

provided, however, that in the case of any “equity restructuring” (within the
meaning of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
123 (revised 2004) or ASC Topic 718, or any successor thereto), the Committee shall make an
equitable or proportionate adjustment to outstanding Awards to reflect such equity restructuring.
Any adjustment in Incentive Stock Options under this Section 12 (other than any cancellation of
Incentive Stock Options) shall be made only to the extent not constituting a “modification” within
the meaning of Section 424(h)(3) of the Code, and any adjustments under this Section 12 shall be
made in a manner that does not adversely affect the exemption provided pursuant to Rule 16b-3 under
the Exchange Act. The Company shall give each Participant notice of an adjustment hereunder and,
upon notice, such adjustment shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes.

     13. Effect of Change in Control. Except to the extent otherwise provided in an Award
agreement, in the event of a Change in Control, notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the
contrary, the Committee may provide that, with respect to all or any portion of a particular
outstanding Award or Awards:

          (a) all of the then outstanding Options and SARs shall immediately vest and become immediately
exercisable as of a time prior to the Change in Control;

          (b) the Restricted Period shall expire as of a time prior to the Change in Control (including
without limitation a waiver of any applicable Performance Goals);

          (c) Performance Periods in effect on the date the Change in Control occurs shall end on such
date, and the Committee shall (i) determine the extent to which Performance Goals with respect to
each such Performance Period have been met based upon such audited or unaudited financial
information or other information then available as it deems relevant and (ii) cause the Participant
to receive partial or full payment of Awards for each such Performance Period based upon the
Committee’s determination of the degree of attainment of the Performance Goals, or assuming that
the applicable “target” levels of performance have been attained or on such other basis determined
by the Committee.

To the extent practicable, any actions taken by the Committee under the immediately preceding
clauses (a) through (c) shall occur in a manner and at a time which allows affected Participants

18

 

the ability to participate in the Change in Control transactions with respect to the Common Shares
subject to their Awards.

     14. Amendments and Termination.

          (a) Amendment and Termination of this Plan. The Board may amend, alter, suspend,
discontinue, or terminate this Plan or any portion thereof at any time; provided, that (i)
no amendment to Section 11(c) or Section 14(b) (to the extent required by the proviso in such
Section 14(b)) shall be made without stockholder approval and (ii) no such amendment, alteration,
suspension, discontinuation or termination shall be made without stockholder approval if such
approval is necessary to comply with any tax or regulatory requirement applicable to this Plan
(including, without limitation, as necessary to comply with any rules or requirements of any
securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system on which the Common Shares may be listed or
quoted or to prevent the Company from being denied a tax deduction under Section 162(m) of the
Code); provided, further, that any such amendment, alteration, suspension,
discontinuance or termination that would materially and adversely affect the rights of any
Participant or any holder or beneficiary of any Award theretofore granted shall not to that extent
be effective without the consent of the affected Participant, holder or beneficiary.

          (b) Amendment of Award Agreements. The Committee may, to the extent consistent with
the terms of any applicable Award agreement, waive any conditions or rights under, amend any terms
of, or alter, suspend, discontinue, cancel or terminate, any Award theretofore granted or the
associated Award agreement, prospectively or retroactively; provided that any such waiver,
amendment, alteration, suspension, discontinuance, cancellation or termination that would
materially and adversely affect the rights of any Participant with respect to any Award theretofore
granted shall not to that extent be effective without the consent of the affected Participant;
provided, further, that without stockholder approval, except as otherwise permitted
under Section 12 of this Plan, (i) no amendment or modification may reduce the Exercise Price of
any Option or the Strike Price of any SAR, (ii) the Committee may not cancel any outstanding Option
or SAR and replace it with a new Option or SAR, another Award or cash and (iii) the Committee may
not take any other action that is considered a “repricing” for purposes of the stockholder approval
rules of the applicable securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system on which the Common
Shares are listed or quoted.

     15. Restrictive Covenants.

          (a) Confidentiality. By accepting an Award under this Plan, and as a condition
thereof, each Participant agrees not to, at any time, either during their employment or thereafter,
divulge, use, publish or in any other manner reveal, directly or indirectly, to any person, firm,
corporation or any other form of business organization or arrangement, and to keep in the strictest
confidence any Confidential Information, except (i) as may be necessary to the performance of the
Participant’s duties to the Company, (ii) with the Company’s express written consent, (iii) to the
extent that any such information is in or becomes in the public domain other than as a result of
the Participant’s breach of any of his or her obligations under this Section 15(a), or (iv) where
required to be disclosed by court order, subpoena or other government process and in such event,
the Participant shall cooperate with the Company in attempting to keep such information
confidential to the maximum extent possible. Upon the request of the

19

 

Company or an Affiliate, the Participant agrees to promptly deliver to the Company the
originals and all copies, in whatever medium, of all such Confidential Information.

          (b) Non-Disparagement. By accepting an Award under this Plan, and as a condition
thereof, the Participant acknowledges and agrees that he or she will not defame or publicly
criticize the services, business, integrity, veracity or personal or professional reputation of the
Company, including its officers, directors, partners, executives or agents, in either a
professional or personal manner at any time during or following his or her employment.

          (c) Post-Employment Property. By accepting an Award under this Plan, and as a
condition thereof, the Participant agrees that any work of authorship, invention, design,
discovery, development, technique, improvement, source code, hardware, device, data, apparatus,
practice, process, method or other work product whatever (whether patentable or subject to
copyright or other intellectual property protection, or not, and hereinafter collectively called
“discovery”) related to the business of the Company that the Participant, either solely or in
collaboration with others, has made or may make, discover, invent, develop, perfect, or reduce to
practice during his, her or its employment by or association with the Company, whether or not
during regular business hours and created, conceived or prepared on the Company’s premises or
otherwise shall be the sole and complete property of the Company. More particularly, and without
limiting the foregoing, the Participant agrees that all of the foregoing and any (i) inventions
(whether patentable or not, and without regard to whether any patent therefor is ever sought), (ii)
marks, names, or logos (whether or not registrable as trade or service marks, and without regard to
whether registration therefor is ever sought), (iii) works of authorship (without regard to whether
any claim of copyright therein is ever registered), and (iv) trade secrets, ideas, and concepts
((i) — (iv) collectively, “Intellectual Property Products”) created, conceived, or prepared on the
Company’s premises or otherwise, whether or not during normal business hours, shall perpetually and
throughout the world be the exclusive property of the Company, as shall all tangible media
(including, but not limited to, papers, computer media of all types, and models) in which such
Intellectual Property Products shall be recorded or otherwise fixed. The Participant further
agrees promptly to disclose in writing and deliver to the Company all Intellectual Property
Products created during his, her or its employment by or association with the Company, whether or
not during normal business hours. The Participant agrees that all works of authorship created by
the Participant during his, her or its employment by or association with the Company shall be works
made for hire of which the Company is the author and owner of copyright or other rights thereto.
To the extent that any competent decision-making authority should ever determine that any work of
authorship created by the Participant during his, her or its employment by or association with the
Company is not a work made for hire, by accepting an Award, the Participant assigns (without
royalty or other compensation) all right, title and interest in the copyright or other intellectual
property therein, in perpetuity and throughout the world, to the Company. To the extent that this
Plan does not otherwise serve to grant or otherwise vest in the Company all rights in any
Intellectual Property Product created by the Participant during his, her or its employment by or
association with the Company, by accepting an Award, the Participant assigns (without royalty or
other compensation) all right, title and interest therein, in perpetuity and throughout the world,
to the Company. The Participant agrees to execute, immediately upon the Company’s reasonable
request and without charge, any further assignments, applications, conveyances or other
instruments, at any time, whether or not the Participant is employed by or associated with the
Company at the time such

20

 

request is made, in
order to permit the Company and/or its respective assigns to protect, perfect, register,
record, maintain, or enhance their rights in any Intellectual Property Product; provided,
that, the Company shall bear the cost of any such assignments, applications or
consequences. Upon termination of the Participant’s employment by or association with the Company
for any reason whatsoever, and at any earlier time the Company so requests, the Participant will
immediately deliver to the custody of the person designated by the Company all originals and copies
of any documents and other property of the Company in the Participant’s possession, under the
Participant’s control or to which he or she may have access.

For purposes of this Section 15, the term “Company” shall include the Company and its
Affiliates.

          (d) Notwithstanding anything herein or in an Award Agreement to the contrary, the provisions
of this Section 15 are meant to apply in addition to, and not in lieu of, any restrictive covenants
to which a Participant may be subject.

     16. General.

          (a) Award Agreements. Each Award under this Plan shall be evidenced by an Award
agreement, which shall be delivered to the Participant (whether in paper or electronic medium
(including email or the posting on a web site maintained by the Company or a third party under
contract with the Company)) and shall specify the terms and conditions of the Award and any rules
applicable thereto, including without limitation, the effect on such Award of the death, disability
or termination of employment or service of a Participant, or of such other events as may be
determined by the Committee.

          (b) Nontransferability. (i) Each Award shall be exercisable only by a Participant
during the Participant’s lifetime, or, if permissible under applicable law, by the Participant’s
legal guardian or representative. No Award may be assigned, alienated, pledged, attached, sold or
otherwise transferred or encumbered by a Participant other than by will or by the laws of descent
and distribution and any such purported assignment, alienation, pledge, attachment, sale, transfer
or encumbrance shall be void and unenforceable against the Company or an Affiliate; provided that
the designation of a beneficiary shall not constitute an assignment, alienation, pledge,
attachment, sale, transfer or encumbrance.

               (ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, permit Awards
(other than Incentive Stock Options) to be transferred by a Participant, without consideration,
subject to such rules as the Committee may adopt consistent with any applicable Award agreement to
preserve the purposes of this Plan, to: (A) any person who is a “family member” of the
Participant, as such term is used in the instructions to Form S-8 under the Securities Act
(collectively, the “Immediate Family Members”); (B) a trust solely for the benefit of the
Participant and his or her Immediate Family Members; or (C) a partnership or limited liability
company whose only partners or stockholders are the Participant and his or her Immediate Family
Members; or (D) any other transferee as may be approved either (I) by the Board or the Committee in
its sole discretion, or (II) as provided in the applicable Award agreement (each transferee
described in clauses (A), (B) (C) and (D) above is hereinafter referred to as a “Permitted
Transferee”); provided, that the Participant gives the Committee advance

21

 

written notice describing the terms and conditions of the proposed transfer and the Committee
notifies the Participant in writing that such a transfer would comply with the requirements of this
Plan.

               (iii) The terms of any Award transferred in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence
shall apply to the Permitted Transferee and any reference in this Plan, or in any applicable Award
agreement, to a Participant shall be deemed to refer to the Permitted Transferee, except that (A)
Permitted Transferees shall not be entitled to transfer any Award, other than by will or the laws
of descent and distribution; (B) Permitted Transferees shall not be entitled to exercise any
transferred Option unless there shall be in effect a registration statement on an appropriate form
covering the Common Shares to be acquired pursuant to the exercise of such Option if the Committee
determines, consistent with any applicable Award agreement, that such a registration statement is
necessary or appropriate; (C) the Committee or the Company shall not be required to provide any
notice to a Permitted Transferee, whether or not such notice is or would otherwise have been
required to be given to the Participant under this Plan or otherwise; and (D) the consequences of
the termination of the Participant’s employment by, or services to, the Company or an Affiliate
under the terms of this Plan and the applicable Award agreement shall continue to be applied with
respect to the Participant, including, without limitation, that an Option shall be exercisable by
the Permitted Transferee only to the extent, and for the periods, specified in this Plan and the
applicable Award agreement.

          (c) Tax Withholding. (i) A Participant shall be required to pay to the Company or any
Affiliate, and the Company or any Affiliate shall have the right and is hereby authorized to
withhold, from any cash, Common Shares, other securities or other property deliverable under any
Award or from any compensation or other amounts owing to a Participant, the amount (in cash, Common
Shares, other securities or other property) of any required withholding taxes in respect of an
Award, its exercise, or any payment or transfer under an Award or under this Plan and to take such
other action as may be necessary in the opinion of the Committee or the Company to satisfy all
obligations for the payment of such withholding and taxes.

               (ii) Without limiting the generality of clause (i) above, the Committee may, in its sole
discretion, permit a Participant to satisfy, in whole or in part, the foregoing withholding
liability by (A) the delivery of Common Shares (which are not subject to any pledge or other
security interest and are Mature Shares) owned by the Participant having a fair market value equal
to such withholding liability or (B) having the Company withhold from the number of Common Shares
otherwise issuable or deliverable pursuant to the exercise or settlement of the Award a number of
shares with a fair market value equal to such withholding liability (but no more than the minimum
required statutory withholding liability).

          (d) No Claim to Awards; No Rights to Continued Employment; Waiver. No employee of the
Company or an Affiliate, or other person, shall have any claim or right to be granted an Award
under this Plan or, having been selected for the grant of an Award, to be selected for a grant of
any other Award. There is no obligation for uniformity of treatment of Participants or holders or
beneficiaries of Awards. The terms and conditions of Awards and the Committee’s determinations and
interpretations with respect thereto need not be the same with respect to each Participant and may
be made selectively among Participants, whether or not such Participants are similarly situated.
Neither this Plan nor any action taken hereunder shall be

22

 

construed as giving any Participant any right to be retained in the employ or service of the
Company or an Affiliate, nor shall it be construed as giving any Participant any rights to
continued service on the Board. The Company or any of its Affiliates may at any time dismiss a
Participant from employment or discontinue any consulting relationship, free from any liability or
any claim under this Plan, unless otherwise expressly provided in this Plan or any Award agreement.
By accepting an Award under this Plan, a Participant shall thereby be deemed to have waived any
claim to continued exercise or vesting of an Award or to damages or severance entitlement related
to non-continuation of the Award beyond the period provided under this Plan or any Award agreement,
notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in any written employment contract or other agreement
between the Company and its Affiliates and the Participant, whether any such agreement is executed
before, on or after the Date of Grant.

          (e) International Participants. With respect to Participants who reside or work
outside of the United States of America and who are not (and who are not expected to be) “covered
employees” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code, the Committee may in its sole
discretion amend the terms of this Plan or outstanding Awards (or establish a sub-plan) with
respect to such Participants in order to conform such terms with the requirements of local law or
to obtain more favorable tax or other treatment for a Participant, the Company or its Affiliates.

          (f) Designation and Change of Beneficiary. Each Participant may file with the
Committee a written designation of one or more persons as the beneficiary(ies) who shall be
entitled to receive the amounts payable with respect to an Award, if any, due under this Plan upon
his death. A Participant may, from time to time, revoke or change his beneficiary designation
without the consent of any prior beneficiary by filing a new designation with the Committee. The
last such designation received by the Committee shall be controlling; provided,
however, that no designation, or change or revocation thereof, shall be effective unless
received by the Committee prior to the Participant’s death, and in no event shall it be effective
as of a date prior to such receipt. If no beneficiary designation is filed by a Participant, the
beneficiary shall be deemed to be his or her spouse or, if the Participant is unmarried at the time
of death, his or her estate.

          (g) Termination of Employment/Service. Unless determined otherwise by the Committee
at any point following such event: (i) neither a temporary absence from employment or service due
to illness, vacation or leave of absence nor a transfer from employment or service with the Company
to employment or service with an Affiliate (or vice-versa) shall be considered a termination of
employment or service with the Company or an Affiliate; and (ii) if a Participant’s employment with
the Company and its Affiliates terminates, but such Participant continues to provide services to
the Company and its Affiliates in a non-employee capacity (or vice-versa), such change in status
shall not be considered a termination of employment with the Company or an Affiliate.

          (h) No Rights as a Stockholder. Except as otherwise specifically provided in this
Plan or any Award agreement, no person shall be entitled to the privileges of ownership in respect
of Common Shares that are subject to Awards hereunder until such shares have been issued or
delivered to that person.

23

 

          (i) Government and Other Regulations. (i) The obligation of the Company to settle
Awards in Common Shares or other consideration shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules, and
regulations, and to such approvals by governmental agencies as may be required. Notwithstanding
any terms or conditions of any Award to the contrary, the Company shall be under no obligation to
offer to sell or to sell, and shall be prohibited from offering to sell or selling, any Common
Shares pursuant to an Award unless such shares have been properly registered for sale pursuant to
the Securities Act with the Securities and Exchange Commission or unless the Company has received
an opinion of counsel, satisfactory to the Company, that such shares may be offered or sold without
such registration pursuant to an available exemption therefrom and the terms and conditions of such
exemption have been fully complied with. The Company shall be under no obligation to register for
sale under the Securities Act any of the Common Shares to be offered or sold under this Plan. The
Committee shall have the authority to provide that all certificates for Common Shares or other
securities of the Company or any Affiliate delivered under this Plan shall be subject to such stop
transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee may deem advisable under this Plan, the
applicable Award agreement, the federal securities laws, or the rules, regulations and other
requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission, any securities exchange or inter-dealer
quotation system upon which such shares or other securities are then listed or quoted and any other
applicable federal, state, local or non-U.S. laws, and, without limiting the generality of Section
9 of this Plan, the Committee may cause a legend or legends to be put on any such certificates to
make appropriate reference to such restrictions. Notwithstanding any provision in this Plan to the
contrary, the Committee reserves the right to add any additional terms or provisions to any Award
granted under this Plan that it in its sole discretion deems necessary or advisable in order that
such Award complies with the legal requirements of any governmental entity to whose jurisdiction
the Award is subject.

               (ii) The Committee may cancel an Award or any portion thereof if it determines, in its sole
discretion, that legal or contractual restrictions and/or blockage and/or other market
considerations would make the Company’s acquisition of Common Shares from the public markets, the
Company’s issuance of Common Shares to the Participant, the Participant’s acquisition of Common
Shares from the Company and/or the Participant’s sale of Common Shares to the public markets,
illegal, impracticable or inadvisable. If the Committee determines to cancel all or any portion of
an Award in accordance with the foregoing, the Company shall pay to the Participant an amount equal
to the excess of (A) the aggregate fair market value of the Common Shares subject to such Award or
portion thereof canceled (determined as of the applicable exercise date, or the date that the
shares would have been vested or delivered, as applicable), over (B) the aggregate Exercise Price
or Strike Price (in the case of an Option or SAR, respectively) or any amount payable as a
condition of delivery of Common Shares (in the case of any other Award). Such amount shall be
delivered to the Participant as soon as practicable following the cancellation of such Award or
portion thereof.

          (j) Payments to Persons Other Than Participants. If the Committee shall find that any
person to whom any amount is payable under this Plan is unable to care for his affairs because of
illness or accident, or is a minor, or has died, then any payment due to such person or his estate
(unless a prior claim therefor has been made by a duly appointed legal representative) may, if the
Committee so directs the Company, be paid to his spouse, child, relative, an institution
maintaining or having custody of such person, or any other person deemed

24

 

by the Committee to be a proper recipient on behalf of such person otherwise entitled to
payment. Any such payment shall be a complete discharge of the liability of the Committee and the
Company therefor.

          (k) Nonexclusivity of this Plan. Neither the adoption of this Plan by the Board nor
the submission of this Plan to the stockholders of the Company for approval shall be construed as
creating any limitations on the power of the Board to adopt such other incentive arrangements as it
may deem desirable, including, without limitation, the granting of stock options or other
equity-based awards otherwise than under this Plan, and such arrangements may be either applicable
generally or only in specific cases.

          (l) No Trust or Fund Created. Neither this Plan nor any Award shall create or be
construed to create a trust or separate fund of any kind or a fiduciary relationship between the
Company or any Affiliate, on the one hand, and a Participant or other person or entity, on the
other hand. No provision of this Plan or any Award shall require the Company, for the purpose of
satisfying any obligations under this Plan, to purchase assets or place any assets in a trust or
other entity to which contributions are made or otherwise to segregate any assets, nor shall the
Company maintain separate bank accounts, books, records or other evidence of the existence of a
segregated or separately maintained or administered fund for such purposes. Participants shall
have no rights under this Plan other than as general unsecured creditors of the Company, except
that insofar as they may have become entitled to payment of additional compensation by performance
of services, they shall have the same rights as other employees under general law.

          (m) Reliance on Reports. Each member of the Committee and each member of the Board
shall be fully justified in acting or failing to act, as the case may be, and shall not be liable
for having so acted or failed to act in good faith, in reliance upon any report made by the
independent public accountant of the Company and its Affiliates and/or any other information
furnished in connection with this Plan by any agent of the Company or the Committee or the Board,
other than himself.

          (n) Relationship to Other Benefits. No payment under this Plan shall be taken into
account in determining any benefits under any pension, retirement, profit sharing, group insurance
or other benefit plan of the Company except as otherwise specifically provided in such other plan.

          (o) Governing Law. The Plan shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the
internal laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to the conflict of laws provisions.

          (p) Severability. If any provision of this Plan or any Award or Award agreement is or
becomes or is deemed to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction or as to any
person or entity or Award, or would disqualify this Plan or any Award under any law deemed
applicable by the Committee, such provision shall be construed or deemed amended to conform to the
applicable laws, or if it cannot be construed or deemed amended without, in the determination of
the Committee, materially altering the intent of this Plan or the Award, such provision shall be
construed or deemed stricken as to such jurisdiction, person or entity or Award and the remainder
of this Plan and any such Award shall remain in full force and effect.

25

 

          (q) Obligations Binding on Successors. The obligations of the Company under this Plan
shall be binding upon any successor corporation or organization resulting from the merger,
amalgamation, consolidation or other reorganization of the Company, or upon any successor
corporation or organization succeeding to substantially all of the assets and business of the
Company.

          (r) Code Section 162(m) Approval. If so determined by the Committee, the provisions
of this Plan regarding Performance Compensation Awards shall be disclosed and reapproved by
stockholders no later than the first stockholder meeting that occurs in the fifth year following
the year in which stockholders previously approved such provisions, in each case in order for
certain Awards granted after such time to be exempt from the deduction limitations of Section
162(m) of the Code. Nothing in this clause, however, shall affect the validity of Awards granted
after such time if such stockholder approval has not been obtained.

          (s) Expenses; Gender; Titles and Headings. The expenses of administering this Plan
shall be borne by the Company and its Affiliates. Masculine pronouns and other words of masculine
gender shall refer to both men and women. The titles and headings of the sections in this Plan are
for convenience of reference only, and in the event of any conflict, the text of this Plan, rather
than such titles or headings shall control.

          (t) Other Agreements. Notwithstanding the above, the Committee may require, as a
condition to the grant of and/or the receipt of Common Shares under an Award, that the Participant
execute lock-up, stockholder or other agreements, as it may determine in its sole and absolute
discretion.

          (u) Section 409A. The Plan and all Awards granted hereunder are intended to comply
with, or otherwise be exempt from, Section 409A of the Code. The Plan and all Awards granted under
this Plan shall be administered, interpreted, and construed in a manner consistent with Section
409A of the Code to the extent necessary to avoid the imposition of additional taxes under Section
409A(a)(1)(B) of the Code. Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, in no event
shall the Committee exercise its discretion to accelerate the payment or settlement of an Award
where such payment or settlement constitutes deferred compensation within the meaning of Section
409A of the Code unless, and solely to the extent that, such accelerated payment or settlement is
permissible under Treasury Regulation section 1.409A-3(j)(4) or any successor provision.

          (v) Payments. Participants shall be required to pay, to the extent required by
applicable law, any amounts required to receive Common Shares under any Award made under this Plan.
