REPLACEMENT LINE OF CREDIT NOTE

 

February 4, 2005

 

$18,000,000.00

 

On January 31, 2008, (the “Maturity Date”), for value received, FIRST REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUST OF NEW JERSEY, a business trust organized in the State of New Jersey, (the “Borrower”) promises to pay to the order of THE PROVIDENT BANK (the “Bank”) at the office of the Bank located at 830 Bergen Avenue,
Jersey City, New Jersey, or at such other place as the holder hereof may from time to time appoint in writing, in lawful money of the United States of America in immediately available funds, the principal sum of Eighteen Million and 00/100 ($18,000,000.00) Dollars (the “Line of Credit”)or such lesser amount as may then be the aggregate unpaid principal balance of all loans made by the Bank to the Borrower hereunder (each, a “Loan” and collectively, the “Loans”) as shown on
the schedule attached to and made a part of this Note or as maintained on the records of the Bank.

 

The Borrower promises to pay interest at said office in like money on the unpaid principal amount of each Loan from time to time outstanding at a rate per annum, to be elected by the Borrower at the time each Loan is made, equal to either (i) a fixed rate of one hundred seventy-five basis points above LIBOR for an Interest Period of one
(1), two (2), or three (3) months (a Loan bearing interest at this rate is sometimes hereinafter called a “LIBOR Loan”), or (ii) the Prime Rate (a Loan bearing interest at this rate is sometimes hereinafter called a “Prime Rate Loan”); provided, however, that no Interest Period with respect to a LIBOR Loan shall extend beyond the Maturity Date; and provided, further, that if prior to the end of any such Interest Period the Borrower and the Bank fail to agree upon a new Interest Period
therefor so as to maintain such Loan as a LIBOR Loan within the pertinent time set forth in Section 1 hereof, such LIBOR Loan shall automatically be converted into a Prime Rate Loan at the end of such Interest Period and shall be maintained as such until a new fixed rate and a new Interest Period therefor are agreed upon. Any Loan made while a Libor Loan is outstanding shall bear interest at the same rate as the existing Libor Loan for the remainder of the existing Interest Period. All computations of interest
shall be made on the basis of a 360 day year for the actual number of days elapsed.

 

Interest on each Loan shall be payable monthly on the first day of each month commencing on the first such day to occur after a Loan is made hereunder and, together with principal, on the Maturity Date hereof. If any payment of principal or interest becomes due on a day on which the banks in the State of New Jersey are required or permitted
by law to remain closed, such payment may be made on the next succeeding day on which such banks are open, and such extensions shall be included in computing interest in connection with such payment.

 

All payments shall be made by Borrower to Bank at 830 Bergen Avenue, Jersey City, New Jersey or such other place as Bank may from time to time specify in writing in lawful currency of the United States of America in immediately available funds, without counterclaim or setoff and free and clear of, and without any deduction or withholding
for, any taxes or other payments.

 

  

  

  

All payments shall be applied first to the payment of all fees, expenses and other amounts due to the Bank (excluding principal and interest), then to accrued interest, and the balance on account of outstanding principal; provided, however, that after maturity of this Note or upon the occurrence of an Event of Default payments will be
applied to the obligations of Borrower to Bank as Bank determines in its sole discretion.

 

Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default or after the Maturity Date, Borrower’s right to select interest rate options shall cease and the unpaid principal of all Loans shall, at the option of the Bank, bear interest at a rate which is four (4) percentage points per annum greater than the Prime Rate (the Default Rate). In no event
shall interest payable hereunder be in excess of the maximum rate of interest permitted under applicable law.

 

If the entire amount of any required installment of principal and/or interest is not paid in full within ten (10) days after the same is due, the Borrower shall pay a late fee equal to four percent (4%) of the required payment.

 

The Borrower hereby expressly authorizes the Bank to record in its records or on the attached schedule the amount and date of each Loan, the rate of interest thereon, Interest Period thereof and the date and amount of each payment of principal. All such notations shall be presumptive as to the correctness thereof; provided, however, the
failure of the Bank to make any such notation shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower under this Note.

 

In consideration of the granting of the Loans evidenced by this Note, the Borrower hereby agrees as follows:

 

1.           Loan Requests.  Requests for LIBOR Loans, and for Interest Periods subsequent to the initial Interest Period applicable thereto, shall be made not less than three (3) Business
Days prior to the first day of each Interest Period for each such Loan. Requests for Prime Rate Loans may be made up until 1 p.m. on the date the Loan is to be made. Any request for a Loan may be written or oral, but if oral, written confirmation thereof must be received by the Bank within three (3) Business Days thereafter.

 

2.           Prepayment. The Borrower shall have the right to prepay any amount hereunder at any time and from time to time, in whole or in part; subject, however, to payment of any break funding indemnification
amounts owing on Libor Loans pursuant to paragraph 5 below.

 

3.           Alternate Rate of Interest. In the event, and on each occasion, that on the day two Business Days prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a LIBOR Loan, the Bank shall have
determined that reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBOR Rate, the Bank shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, give notice of such determination to the Borrower. In the event of any such determination, until the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, the Bank shall use the applicable thirty, sixty or ninety day U.S. Treasury Rate plus one-hundred seventy-five basis points for purposes of calculating the interest rate on a LIBOR Loan (a loan bearing interest at this rate is
sometimes hereinafter called a “US Treasury Rate Loans”). Each determination by the Bank hereunder shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Thus, for any such interest rate period that the Bank shall have determined that reasonable

 

  

2

  

means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBOR Rate, Borrower may elect between the Prime Rate option or the applicable US Treasury Rate option.

 

4.           Change in Legality. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, if any change in any law or regulation or in the interpretation thereof by any governmental authority
charged with the administration or interpretations thereof shall make it unlawful for the Bank to make or maintain any LIBOR Loan, then, by written notice to the Borrower, the Bank may:

 

(i)           declare that LIBOR Loans will not thereafter be made by the Bank hereunder, whereupon the Borrower shall be prohibited from requesting LIBOR Loans from the Bank hereunder unless such declaration is subsequently withdrawn; and

 

(ii)           require that all outstanding LIBOR Loans made by it be converted at Borrower’s option to either Prime Rate Loans or US Treasury Rate Loans, in which event (x) all such LIBOR Loans shall be automatically converted to Prime Rate Loans or US Treasury Rate Loans as
of the effective date of such notice as provided in paragraph (b) below and (y) all payments and prepayments of principal which would otherwise have been applied to repay the converted LIBOR Loans shall instead be applied to repay the Prime Rate Loans or US Treasury Rate Loans resulting from the conversion of such LIBOR Loans.

 

(b)           For purposes of this Section 4, a notice to the Borrower by the Bank pursuant to sub-paragraph (a) above shall be effective, if lawful, on the last day of the then current Interest Period.

 

5.           Renewal.   Provided that on the Maturity Date (a) there is no Event of Default (as hereinafter defined) then occurring under this Note or any other Loan Document (as hereinafter
defined), and (b) the Bank has not exercised the Call Option set forth below, then this Note will be automatically extended for additional terms of twenty-four (24) months (“Renewal Period”). Upon the maturity date of any such Renewal Period, the Note shall be renewed for an additional period of 24 months provided that Borrower is in compliance with the renewal conditions set forth in subparagraphs 5a and 5b above.

 

6.           Call Option. The Bank shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to call this Note due and payable in full (the “Call Option”) on the annual anniversary date of this Note,
beginning on the first anniversary date. Bank shall provide the Borrower notice of Bank’s election to exercise the Call Option within sixty (60) days prior to or following each such anniversary date. In the event that the Bank exercises the Call Option then Borrower shall be required to repay the Note in full within twenty-four (24) months following the date of the Call Option. Following exercise by the Bank of the Call Option no further advances under this Note shall be permitted and no new letters of
credit shall be issued under this Note.

12.           Definitions. As used herein:

 

(a)           “Business Day” means any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or day which shall be in the State of New Jersey a legal holiday or day on which banking institutions are required or authorized to close.

 

(b)           The term “LIBOR” or “LIBOR Rate” shall mean, as applicable to any LIBOR Loan, the rate per annum as determined on the basis of the offered rates for deposits in U.S. Dollars, for a period of time comparable to such LIBOR Loan which is reported
in the Wall Street Journal Money Rates section as the London Interbank Offered Rate on the day that is two (2) London Banking Days preceding the first day of such LIBOR Loan; provided, however, if the rate described above does not appear in the Wall Street Journal on any applicable interest determination date, the LIBOR rate shall be the rate (rounded upward, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point), determined on the basis of the offered rates for deposits in U.S. dollars for
a period of time comparable to such LIBOR Loan which are offered by any major banks in the London Interbank market at approximately 11:00 a.m. London time, on the day that is two (2) London Banking Days preceding the first day of such LIBOR Loan as selected by Bank.

 

(c)           “Interest Period” means that period selected by the Borrower, within the limitations of the second paragraph of this Note, during which a LIBOR Loan may bear interest at the applicable fixed rate.

 

(d)           “Prime Rate” means the variable per annum rate of interest so designated from time to time as the prime rate published in the Wall Street Journal as its prime rate. The determination and publication of such Prime Rate shall not in any way preclude or limit
Bank from lending to certain borrowers from time to time at a rate of interest less than such Prime Rate.

 

(e)           “U.S. Treasury Rate” means the applicable thirty, sixty or ninety day United States Treasury Note rate as published in the Wall Street Journal.

13.           Payment of Line of Credit Fees. Borrower shall pay to Bank a minimum annual fee for the Line of Credit established under this Note in the amount of $15,000.00 on the date of this
Note and on each anniversary date of this Note. In addition, Borrower shall pay to Bank a fee equal to one-quarter of one (1%) of each advance under this Note (“Advance Fee(s)”). No Advance fee shall be due in any twelve month loan year unless and until the aggregate amount of all Advance Fees exceed $15,000.00 in that loan year. Notwithstanding the foregoing the total amount of fees (exclusive of letter of credit fees) payable in any 12 month loan year shall be the greater of (a) $15,000.00, or (b)
the aggregate amount of Advance Fees payable in any loan year less $15,000.00. In the event that the Bank exercises its Call Option then (a) if the outstanding principal balance of this Note is greater than or equal to $10,000,000.00, the minimum annual fee for the Line of Credit shall be $10,000.00 payable on each anniversary of this Note, and (b) if the outstanding principal balance of this Note is less than $10,000,000.00 but greater than zero, the minimum annual fee for the Line of Credit shall be $5,000.00
payable on each anniversary of this Note.

 

14.           Loan Covenants.    A. During the term of this Note Borrower shall maintain a minimum of $5,000,000.00 of liquidity which shall be net of any outstandings under this
Note which have not been utilized for acquisition, development, stabilization, or other Bank approved real property related expenses. When calculating liquidity the following may be included by Borrower as liquid assets:

 

(i)           Escrow deposits held by third parties for the purpose of deposits on properties under contract to be purchased or for improvements under contracts to be performed.

 

(ii)           Borrower funds utilized for the acquisition, development, stabilization, mortgage payoff and/or prepayment penalty which, if such funds had been taken under this Note, would not be netted out of the liquidity position by their nature of being outstanding under this Note.

 

This covenant shall be tested against funds advanced during the previous quarter. This covenant will be tested semi-annually and will be based on the prior two consecutive quarters’ liquidity average.

 

B.           With respect to the Collateral, Borrower shall maintain a minimum Debt Service Coverage Ratio of 1.20 to 1 which shall be tested annually. For purposes of this provision, the term Debt Service Coverage Ratio shall mean rental revenue, less operating expenses (exclusive
of depreciation), management fees, vacancy rates, bad debts and other expense or charges which Bank, at its sole discretion, determines to be reductions for rental revenue divided by principal and interest payments calculated on the basis of the fully drawn down $18,000,000.00 Line of Credit at the prevailing ten (10) year United States Treasury Note yield plus one hundred seventy-five (175) basis points amortized over a twenty-five (25) year period. All calculations utilized in underwriting this ratio shall
be performed by Bank, in its sole discretion.

 

C.           Borrower shall maintain a Debt Service Coverage Ratio of 1.20 to 1 on all other real estate holdings of Borrower exclusive of (a) the Collateral, b) any property of Borrower that (i) is subject to construction financing with a funded interest reserve to pay debt service,
and (ii) has not been stabilized, and (c) all non-stabilized property of Borrower. The Debt Service

 

  

7

  

Coverage Ratio shall be tested annually and will be based on a net operating income based on the last two actual quarters annualized for the entire year together with actual debt service on such real estate holdings. If any “interest only” financing on any of the other real estate holdings is converted to a permanent loan
within twelve (12) months prior to the date of testing, then the permanent loan amount will be utilized for the purposes of this calculation.

 

D.           If Borrower does not meet the Debt Service Coverage Ratios required in sub-sections 14(B) and 14(C) above (a) then the availability under the Line of Credit (less the amount of any outstanding letters of credit) will be immediately reduced to an amount that would cause
compliance with a 1.20 to 1 Debt Service Coverage Ratio, and (b) following notice from Bank to Borrower of such non-compliance, Borrower shall have thirty (30) days to cure such non-compliance, and in the event Borrower fails to timely cure such non-compliance the Bank shall have the right to declare a default under this Note.

 

15.           Loan Conditions.  (a) If outstanding borrowings under this Note exceed $5,000,000.00 (other than for amounts outstanding on the date hereof) or if any single borrowing exceeds
$2,000,000.00, then Borrower shall advise Bank in writing as to the purpose of such Loan, the source of repayment and the expected time frame of repayment.

 

(b) The Bank reserves the right to approve any change of the present management company of the Collateral, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Any unapproved change in such management shall constitute an event of default under this Note.

 

16.           Waiver Of Notice By Borrower.  Presentment, demand of payment, notice of dishonor or nonpayment, protest, notice of protest on this Note, and the giving of notice of default
or other notice to any party liable on this Note are hereby waived, jointly and severally, by the Borrower and by any and all, such other parties, including without limitation any guarantors who at any time may be liable hereon in any capacity. It is expressly agreed by the Borrower and all such other parties, that the maturity of this Note, any payment hereunder, or any term or condition hereof, may be extended, modified, waived or renewed from time to time without in any way affecting the liability of the Borrower.
The Borrower and all such other parties consent to the release of any collateral, with or without substitution, and to the release or addition, without notice and without affecting their liability hereunder of any makers, endorsers, guarantors or sureties.

 

17.           Change Of Interest Rate After Maturity.  After the Maturity Date, and provided the term of this Note is not renewed in accordance with Section 5 above, any unpaid balance of
this Note (including principal and interest) shall bear interest at the Default Rate.

 

18.           No Usurious Amounts.  Anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower does not agree and shall not be obligated to pay interest hereunder at a rate which
is in excess of the maximum rate permitted by law. If by the terms of this Note, the Borrower is at any time required to pay interest at a rate in excess of such maximum rate, the rate of interest under this Note shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to such maximum rate and the portion of all prior interest payments in excess of such maximum rate shall be applied to and shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of the outstanding principal balance.

 

  

8

  

19.           Partial Invalidity. The unenforceability or invalidity of any one or more provisions shall not render any other provisions herein contained unenforceable or invalid.

 

20.           Binding Effect.  The covenants, conditions and agreements contained in this Note shall bind and the benefits thereof shall inure to, the respective parties hereto and their respective
heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns; provided that this Note cannot be assigned by the Borrower without the prior express written consent of the Bank.

 

21.           No Oral Modifications.  This Note may not be changed or terminated orally, but only by an agreement in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of any waiver, change,
modification or discharge is sought.

 

22.           Disclosure Of Financial Information. The Bank is hereby authorized to disclose any financial or other information about the Borrower to any regulatory body or agency having jurisdiction

23.           Completion Of The Note.  The Bank is authorized by the Borrower, without notice, to date this Note as of the day when the first disbursement of the Loan evidenced hereby is made
and to fill in any blank spaces to conform to the terms upon which the Loan is made.

 

24.           Remedies Of Bank.  The remedies of the Bank, as provided herein, shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued singly, successively or together, at the sole discretion
of the Bank, and may be exercised as often as occasion therefor shall occur, and the failure to exercise any such right or remedy shall in no event be construed as a waiver or release thereof. The Bank shall have the right to take any action it deems appropriate without the necessity of resorting to any Collateral securing this Note.

 

25.           Right Of Setoff By The Bank.  For so long as the Bank is the holder of this Note, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default hereunder, in addition to any other remedy provided
by law, the Bank shall have the right immediately and without notice or other acts to setoff against any of the Borrower’s obligations under this Note any sum owed by the Bank or any of its affiliates in any capacity to the Borrower whether due or not, or any property of the undersigned in the possession of the Bank or any of its affiliates, and the Bank shall be deemed to have exercised such right of setoff and to have made a charge against any such sum or property immediately upon the occurrence of an
Event of Default, even though the actual book entries may be made at some time subsequent.

 

26.           Captions.  The captions preceding the text of the sections of this Note are used solely for the convenience of reference and shall not affect the meaning or construction of this

29.           Replacement Note.  This Note replaces and supercedes the Line of Credit Note from Borrower to Bank, dated June 20, 2002 (the “Prior Note”). The Borrower hereby confirms
that any Collateral granted to the Bank as security for repayment of the Prior Note, including but not limited to liens, security interests, mortgages, and pledges granted by the Borrower or third parties (if applicable), shall continue unimpaired and in full force and effect and shall be deemed to secure the obligations under this Note.

      DARLING
INTERNATIONAL INC. COMPENSATION COMMITTEE

      AMENDED
AND RESTATED EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION PROGRAM POLICY STATEMENT

       

      (Revised
January 8, 2010)

       

       

      This
policy is a statement of the plan for implementation of the Amended and Restated
Executive Compensation Program (the “Program”) effective
January 8, 2010 for certain executives of Darling International Inc. (the “Company”), pursuant
to the Company’s 2004 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Omnibus Plan”)
approved by its stockholders in May 2005.  This Program supersedes the
prior executive compensation plans, which were adopted under the Omnibus Plan on
June 16, 2005 and January 15, 2009, respectively (the “Prior Programs”);
however, the Prior Programs will remain in effect in respect of awards
heretofore granted under the Prior Programs.  Awards granted to
employees under the Program are intended to be “qualified performance based
compensation” under Article 12 of the Omnibus Plan.

       

      Program
Objectives

       

      
        	
                ·  

              	
                Reward
      Company executives for the achievement of specific annual, long-term and
      strategic goals of the Company throughout business
  cycles;

              

      

       

      
        	
                ·  

              	
                Align
      the short and long-term interests of Company executives with the interests
      of stockholders;

              

      

       

      
        	
                ·  

              	
                Attract
      and retain superior executives;

              

      

       

      
        	
                ·  

              	
                Provide
      compensation to Company executives that is competitive with the
      compensation paid to similarly situated executives;
  and

              

      

       

      
        	
                ·  

              	
                Create
      retention incentives for Company executives and provide an opportunity for
      increased equity ownership by Company
  executives.

              

      

       

      Eligibility and
Participation

       

      Participants
of the Program (each, a “Program Participant”
and collectively, the “Program
Participants”) include the Company’s chief executive officer
(the “CEO”), the Executive
Vice President, Finance and Administration (the “CFO”), the Company’s
Executive Vice Presidents the (“EVPs”), the three
most highly compensated executive officers, if any, of the Company other than
the CEO, the CFO and the EVPs (together with the CEO, the CFO, and the
EVPs,  the “named executive
officers”) and such other executive officers as the Compensation
Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Compensation
Committee”) or the CEO may determine from time to time.

       

      Non-employee
directors of the Company will continue to receive formula-based equity
compensation as more fully described below.

       

      Structure and
Implementation

       

      The
elements of compensation for each Program Participant are base salary, annual
incentive bonus and long-term incentive equity awards.

       

       

      
        
          1

        

        
          
          

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

      
      

      Base Salary: The base salary element
is intended to compensate the Program Participants for services rendered during
each fiscal year.  Base salary ranges will be determined for a Program
Participant based on his/her position and responsibility and should generally be
set at or near the 50th
percentile of base salary paid to similarly situated executives of general
industrial companies that have similar total revenue and market capitalization
and/or compete with the Company for management talent (“Peer Companies”);
provided, that the Compensation Committee shall have authority to deviate from
such percentile target as it deems necessary or appropriate to achieve the
Program objectives.  Salary information of Peer Companies will be
determined by using market data supplied by an outside global human resources
consulting firm or other independent third party resource.

       

      Annual
Incentives:  The annual incentive bonus element for each
Program Participant will be the possibility of a cash bonus that will be awarded
upon the Program Participant’s achievement of both of two separate
components:  the Company’s realization of certain financial measures,
which will account for 75% of the annual incentive bonus, and the achievement of
specific strategic, operational and personal goals (“SOPs”) designed for
each Plan Participant based on his/her title and roles and responsibilities with
the Company.  The SOPs will account for 25% of the annual incentive
bonus.

       

      The
financial measures component will be based on the Company’s yearly return on
gross investment (“ROGI”), which is
defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization
divided by the sum of total assets plus accumulated depreciation minus other
liabilities (other than those incurred to financing institutions), including,
but not limited to, accounts payable, accrued expenses, pension liabilities,
other non-current liabilities and deferred income taxes.  The
Company’s yearly ROGI will be calculated as of the end of each fiscal year based
on the Company’s financial statements prepared for and presented in Company’s
Annual Report on Form 10-K; however, from time to time, the calculation of ROGI
will be adjusted in the discretion of the Compensation Committee for excess cash
on hand or in extraordinary circumstances.  A Program Participant will
receive 100% of his/her target payout with respect to the financial measures
component of the annual award if the Company attains an annual ROGI for the
fiscal year equal to the 50th
percentile of the Peer Companies ROGI as calculated by an outside global human
resources firm.  The Compensation Committee will also set a threshold
and maximum ROGI for each Program Participant between which Program Participants
will receive a percentage of target payout between 25% (for achievement of the
25th percentile of the Peer Companies ROGI (the “ROGI Threshold”)) and
400% (for achievement of the 90th percentile of the Peer Companies ROGI)
depending on the actual ROGI achieved.

       

      The SOPs
component of the annual incentive bonus will be based on both the Company’s
achievement of the ROGI Threshold and a Program Participant’s achievement of
individual SOPs.  A Program Participant may receive between 0% and
100% of his/her target payout with respect to the SOPs component depending on
such participant’s performance for the fiscal year.  Prior to each
fiscal year, the CEO will set individual, objective SOPs for each Program
Participant (other than himself), which objectives will be approved by the
Compensation Committee.  With respect to the CEO, the Compensation
Committee will set and approve the CEO’s SOPs for each fiscal
year.  Following the end of each fiscal year, each Program
Participant’s performance will be evaluated against his/her SOPs by the CEO
(except with respect to his/her own performance), and the Compensation Committee
will determine the percentage of target payout to be awarded to such Program
Participant.  In the case of the CEO, the Compensation Committee will
evaluate the CEO’s performance against his/her SOPs and determine the payout for
the SOPs component of the annual incentive bonus.  Each Program
Participant must achieve a minimum of 75% of his/her SOPs to receive any payout
for the SOPs component of the annual incentive bonus.

       

      
         

         

        
          
            2

          

          
            
            

            
              

            

          

           

        

      

      Long Term
Incentives:  The long term incentive element of compensation
will be awarded to Program Participants in the form of a yearly equity grant,
which will be composed of 75% restricted stock and 25% stock options (together,
the “Grant”);
however, the Company will only award such yearly equity grants if the Company
meets certain financial objective(s) for the relevant prior fiscal year as
determined by the Compensation Committee from time to time.  The
target dollar value of the Grant (the “Target Grant Dollar
Value”) for the CEO will equal 125% of the CEO’s base salary and, for all
other Plan Participants, will range from 20% to 70% of the Program Participant’s
base salary.  The Target Grant Dollar Value for each Program
Participant, including the CEO, will be set by the Compensation
Committee.  The actual amount of the award will be based on the
Company’s actual trailing five-year ROGI average and may range from between 50%
and 150% of the Target Grant Dollar Value.  If the Company’s trailing
five-year ROGI average is less than or equal to the 25 th
percentile of the Peer Companies ROGI, a Program Participant will be eligible to
receive Grants equivalent to 50% of his/her Target Grant Dollar Value; if the
Company’s trailing five-year ROGI average is between the 25 th and
50
th percentile of Peer Companies ROGI, a Program Participant will be
eligible to receive Grants equivalent to between 50% and 100% of his/her Target
Grant Dollar Value; if the Company’s trailing five-year ROGI average is between
the 50
th and 75 th
percentile of Peer Companies ROGI, a Program Participant will be eligible to
receive Grants equivalent to between 100% and 150% of his/her Target Grant
Dollar Value; and if the Company’s trailing five-year ROGI average is over the
75
th percentile of Peer Companies ROGI, a Program Participant will be
eligible to receive Grants equivalent to a maximum amount of 150% of his/her
Target Grant Dollar Value.

       

      All
financial and other objectives for individual Grants that are intended to be
treated as "qualified performance-based compensation" under Article 12 of the
Omnibus Plan and Section 162(m) of the Code (as defined in the Omnibus Plan)
will be determined prior to the end of the first quarter of the fiscal year
during which such performance will be determined.

       

      Restricted
stock granted under the Program will account for 75% of the total
Grant.  Within the first fiscal quarter of each fiscal year, the
Compensation Committee will determine both (i) the Target Grant Dollar Value for
the target number of shares of restricted stock that each such Program
Participant will be eligible to receive for such current fiscal year if the
requisite ROGI performance is achieved and (ii) the number of shares of
restricted stock that the participant is potentially eligible to
receive.  In calculating the target number of shares of restricted
stock that each Program Participant is eligible to receive, the Compensation
Committee will divide the Target Grant Dollar Value for restricted stock
determined for each Program Participant by the closing market price of the
Company’s common stock on the last trading day of the immediately preceding
fiscal year.  For fiscal 2010, the target number of shares of
restricted stock that each Program Participant is eligible to receive will be
based on the closing market price of the Company’s common stock on January 8,
2010, the date of adoption of this Program.  Restricted stock Grants
will have no exercise price and will vest over a period of three years, with 25%
vesting immediately upon issuance and 25% vesting on each of the next three
anniversaries of the grant date.  Restricted stock will be granted on
the fourth business day after the Company releases its annual financial
results.

       

      
         

         

        
          
            3

          

          
            
            

            
              

            

          

        

      

       

      Stock
options granted under the Program will account for 25% of the total Grant. Stock
options will be granted on the fourth business day after the Company releases
its annual financial results.  Within the first fiscal quarter of each
fiscal year, the Compensation Committee will determine both (i) the Target Grant
Dollar Value for the target number of stock options that each such Program
Participant will be eligible to receive for such current fiscal year if the
requisite ROGI performance is achieved and (ii) the number of stock options that
the participant is potentially eligible to receive.  In calculating
the target number of stock options that each Program Participant is eligible to
receive, the Compensation Committee will divide the Target Grant Dollar Value
for stock options determined for each Program Participant by the closing market
price of the Company’s common stock on the last trading day of the immediately
preceding fiscal year.  For fiscal 2010, the target number of stock
options that each Program Participant is eligible to receive will be based on
the closing market price of the Company’s common stock on January 8, 2010, the
date of adoption of this Program.  The exercise price of all stock
options granted under the LTIP will be the Fair Market Value of the Company’s
