in its sole discretion, may exercise any authority of the Committee under this Plan in lieu of the
Committee’s exercise thereof, and in such instances, references herein to the Committee shall refer
to the Board. The Committee shall be governed, and shall have such composition as called for, by
the Compensation Committee Charter as such may be amended from time to time. The Committee may
designate the Chief Executive Officer or Chief Operating Officer of the Company or other Employees
to assist the Committee in the administration of the Plan, and the Committee may grant authority to
such persons to execute agreements or other documents evidencing Awards made under this Plan or
other documents entered into under this Plan on behalf of the Committee or the Company.

The foregoing notwithstanding, the Board may expressly delegate to a special subcommittee (the
“Subcommittee”), consisting of one or more directors who are also officers of the Company, the
authority, subject to specific guidelines/limitations established by the Board, to (a) designate
officers and employees of the Company and/or its subsidiaries to be recipients of Options and/or
Restricted Stock under the Plan, and (b) to determine the number of such Awards of Options and/or
Restricted Stock to be received by any such recipients; provided, however, that in order to ensure
the availability of protections and exemptions afforded by Section 16 of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 (the “Act”) and Section 162 (m) of the Internal Revenue Code, the Subcommittee shall
make no awards of Options and/or Restricted Stock pursuant to this delegation of authority to any
member of the Board, senior executive officers of the Company or other persons designated by the
Company as “statutory insiders” under Section 16 of the Act (including, but not necessarily limited
to, the Company’s General Counsel and Controller).

Acts of the Subcommittee pursuant to the foregoing delegation of authority shall be treated as
acts of the Board. The Subcommittee shall report regularly to the Board regarding any awards of
Options and/or Restricted Stock granted pursuant to this delegation of authority.

SECTION 3.2 Powers of the Committee. Subject to the express provisions and limitations set
forth in this Plan, the Committee shall be authorized and empowered to do all things necessary or

without limitation, the following:

(a) to prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to this Plan and to define
terms not otherwise defined herein;

(b) to determine which individuals are eligible to be Participants under Section 4.1 hereof,
to which of such Participants, if any, Awards shall be granted hereunder and the timing of any such
Awards;

(c) to grant Awards to Participants and determine the terms and conditions thereof, including,
but not limited to, the number of Shares subject to Awards, the designation of Options as Incentive
Stock Options or Nonqualified Stock Options, the exercise or purchase price of Shares subject to
Awards, the circumstances under which Awards become exercisable or vested or are forfeited or
expire, the circumstances under which Awards may be settled in cash or Shares, which terms may, but
need not be, conditioned upon the passage of time, continued employment, the satisfaction of
performance criteria, the occurrence of certain events (including events that the Board or the
Committee determine constitute a Change in Control), or other factors;

(d) to establish and verify the extent of satisfaction of any performance goals or other
conditions applicable to the grant, issuance, exercisability, vesting and/or ability to retain any
Award;

(e) to prescribe and amend the terms of the agreements or other documents evidencing Awards
made under this Plan (which need not be identical) and the terms of or form of any document or
notice required to be delivered to the Company by Participants under this Plan;

(f) to determine whether, and the extent to which, adjustments are required pursuant to
Section 14.2 hereof;

(g) to interpret and construe this Plan, any rules and regulations under this Plan and the
terms and conditions of any Award granted hereunder, and to waive, amend or make exceptions to any
such provisions in good faith and for the benefit of the Company; and

(h) to make all other determinations deemed necessary or advisable for the proper operation or
administration of this Plan.

SECTION 3.3 Determinations of the Committee. All decisions, determinations and interpretations
by the Committee regarding this Plan shall be final and binding on all Participants and
Beneficiaries. The Committee shall consider such factors as it deems relevant to making such
decisions, determinations and interpretations, including, without limitation, the recommendations
or advice of any director, officer or employee of the Company and such attorneys, consultants and
accountants as the Committee may select.

SECTION 3.4 Delegations to Subcommittees. The Committee may delegate to one or more separate
committees (any such committee a “Subcommittee”) composed of one or more directors of the Company
(who may, but need not be, members of the Committee) the ability to grant Awards and take the other
actions described in Section 3.2 hereof with respect to non-executive employees, and such actions
shall be treated for purposes of Section 3.3 hereof as if taken by the Committee.

STOCK SUBJECT TO THIS PLAN

SECTION 5.1 Aggregate Limits. The aggregate number of Shares that shall be available for grant
under this Plan shall be 4,000,000 Shares, plus any Shares subject to awards made under Prior Plans
that are outstanding on the Effective Date and become available pursuant to Section 5.3 hereof;
provided, however, that no more than 1,000,000 Shares of the total Shares issuable under the Plan
may be available for grant in the form of Incentive Stock Options. Any Shares granted as Options or
Stock Appreciation Rights shall be counted against this limit as one (1) Share for every one (1)
Share granted. Any Shares granted as Awards other than Options or Stock Appreciation Rights shall
be counted against this limit as 2.25 Shares for every one (1) Share granted. The aggregate number
of Shares available for grant under this Plan and the number of Shares subject to outstanding
Awards shall be subject to adjustment as provided in Section 14.2 hereof. In addition, the
aggregate number of Shares available for grant under this Plan shall not be reduced by Shares
subject to Awards granted upon the assumption of, or in substitution for, awards granted by a
business or entity that is acquired by, or whose assets are acquired by, the Company. The Shares
issued pursuant to Awards granted under this Plan may be Shares that either were reacquired by the
Company, including Shares purchased in the open market, or authorized but unissued Shares.

SECTION 5.2 Individual Limits. The aggregate number of Shares that may be granted as Options
or Stock Appreciation Rights under this Plan during any calendar year to any one Participant shall
not exceed 500,000 Shares. The aggregate number of Shares that may be granted as Restricted Stock,
Stock Units or Other Stock Unit Awards under this Plan during any calendar year to any one
Participant shall not exceed 250,000 Shares. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Plan,
the foregoing limitations shall be subject to adjustment under Section 14.2 hereof, but only to the
extent that such adjustment will not affect the status of any Award intended to qualify as
“performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code. The foregoing limitations shall
not apply to the extent that (a) compensation in connection with specific Awards made under the
Plan is not intended to be treated as “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the
Code or (b) such limitations are no longer required in order for compensation in connection with
Awards under this Plan to be treated as “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of
the Code.

SECTION 5.3 Share Add-Backs. For purposes of Section 5.1 hereof, the aggregate number of
Shares available for Awards under this Plan at any time shall not be reduced by (a) Shares subject
to Awards that have been canceled, expired, forfeited or settled in cash, (b) Shares subject to
Awards that have been retained by the Company in payment or satisfaction of the purchase price or
tax withholding obligation of an Award, or (c) Shares subject to Awards that otherwise do not
result in the issuance of Shares in connection with payment or settlement of an Award. Any Shares
that again become available for grant pursuant to clauses (a) through (c) of this Section 5.3 shall
be added back as one (1) Share if such Shares were subject to Options or Stock Appreciation Rights
and as 2.25 Shares if such Shares were subject to Awards other than Options and Stock Appreciation
Rights. In addition, Shares that have been delivered (either actually or constructively by
attestation) to the Company in payment or satisfaction of the purchase price or tax withholding
obligation of an Award or an award under any of the Prior Plans shall be available for Awards under
this Plan. Shares subject to awards made under Prior Plans that do not result in the issuance of
Shares for the reasons listed in clauses (a) through (c) of this Section 5.3 shall be available for
grant under this Plan. Each Share that again becomes available for grant in connection with awards
under Prior Plans shall be added back as one (1) Share.

ARTICLE VI

TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF OPTIONS

SECTION 6.1 Option Grants. The Committee may grant an Option or provide for the grant of an
Option, either from time to time in the discretion of the Committee or automatically upon the
occurrence of specified events, including, without limitation, the achievement of performance
goals, the satisfaction of an event or condition within the control of the recipient of the Award
or within the control of others. All Options under the Plan shall be granted subject to the terms
and conditions set forth in this Article VI.

SECTION 6.2 Option Price. The option price per share with respect to each Option shall be
determined by the Committee but shall not be less than 100% of the Market Value of the Common Stock
on the date the Option is granted; provided, however, that the option price per share of any
Incentive Stock Option will be equal to or greater than 110% of the Market Value of a Share as of
the date of grant if the Participant receiving the Incentive Stock Option owns, immediately before
the Incentive Stock Option is granted, stock representing more than 10% of the total combined
voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Subsidiary or Parent of the Company;
provided further, that the option price per share with respect to an Option that is granted in
connection with a merger, stock exchange, or other acquisition as a substitute or replacement award
for options held by optionees of the acquired entity may be less than 100% of Market Value on the
date the Option is granted.

SECTION 6.3 Duration. The Committee shall establish the term of an Option, provided that in no
event shall any Option be exercisable subsequent to the tenth anniversary of the date on which it
is granted; provided, however, that in the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to a
Participant who owns stock as of the date of the grant representing more than 10% of the total
combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Subsidiary or Parent of the
Company, the term of the Incentive Stock Option shall be five (5) years from the date on which it
is granted or such shorter term as the Committee may determine.

SECTION 6.4 Exercise. Except as provided in Section 6.9 hereof, the Shares covered by an
Option may not be purchased prior to the first anniversary of the date on which the Option is
awarded, or such longer period or periods, and subject to such conditions, as the Committee may
determine, but thereafter may be purchased upon such terms and at such times as the Committee may
determine as shall be provided in the Option Document. To the extent that the right to purchase
Shares has accrued thereunder, Options may be exercised from time to time by notice to the Company
stating the number of Shares with respect to which the Option is being exercised.

SECTION 6.5 Payment. Except as set forth herein, Shares purchased under Options shall, at the
time of purchase, be paid for in full in cash. All, or any portion, of the option price may, at the
discretion of the Committee, be paid (i) under an arrangement with the Stock Administrator where
payment is made pursuant to an irrevocable direction to the Stock Administrator to deliver all or
part of the proceeds from the sale of Shares issuable under the Option to the Company or (ii) by
the surrender (either actually or constructively by attestation) to the Company, at the time of
exercise, of Shares of previously acquired Common Stock owned by the Participant, to the extent
that such payment does not require the surrender of a fractional share of such previously acquired
Common Stock or (iii) by authorizing the Company to withhold Common Stock otherwise issuable on
exercise of the Option. Such Shares previously acquired and used to pay the option price shall be
valued at Market Value on the date the Option is exercised or as otherwise determined in accordance
with the procedures to be established by the Committee. A Participant shall have none of the rights
of a stockholder until the Shares are issued to him or her.

SECTION 6.6 Restrictions. The Committee shall determine, with respect to each Option, the
nature and extent of the restrictions, if any, to be imposed on the Shares that may be purchased
thereunder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Committee may impose conditions
restricting absolutely or conditionally the transferability of Shares acquired through the exercise
of Options for such periods, and subject to such conditions, including continued employment of the
Participant by the Company or any Subsidiary or Parent of the Company, as the Committee may
determine.

SECTION 6.7 Incentive Stock Options. Incentive Stock Options granted under this Plan will be
subject to the following additional conditions, limitations and restrictions:

(a) Eligibility. Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to Employees of the Company or a
Subsidiary or Parent of the Company.

(b) Timing of Grant. No Incentive Stock Option will be granted under this Plan after the tenth
anniversary of the date on which the Plan is adopted by the Board or, if earlier, the date on which
the Plan is approved by the Company’s stockholders.

(c) Amount of Award. The aggregate Market Value (as of the date of grant) of the Shares with
respect to which the Incentive Stock Options awarded to any Participant first become exercisable
during any calendar year may not exceed $100,000. For purposes of this $100,000 limit, the
Participant’s Incentive Stock Options under this Plan and all other plans maintained by the Company
and its Subsidiaries will be aggregated. To the extent any Incentive Stock Option would exceed the
$100,000 limit, the Incentive Stock Option will afterwards be treated as a Nonqualified Stock
Option for all purposes.

SECTION 6.8 Transferability of Options. In no event will the Committee permit an Incentive
Stock Option to be transferred by a Participant other than by will or the laws of descent and
distribution, and any Incentive Stock Option awarded under this Plan will be exercisable only by
the Participant during the Participant’s lifetime. During a Participant’s lifetime, Nonqualified
Stock Options shall be transferable during the lifetime of the Participant by gift or pursuant to a
domestic relations order to members of the Participant’s Immediate Family to the extent and in the
manner determined by the Committee and subject to the prior written consent of the Committee.

SECTION 6.9 Termination of Relationship. Unless the Committee shall determine otherwise, at
such time as a Participant ceases to be an Employee or Director of the Company or any Subsidiary or
Parent of the Company for any reason and except as provided in subsections (a), (b) or (d) below,
Options shall expire immediately as to those Shares for which they were not then exercisable, and
as to the remaining Shares for which the Options were exercisable at the time of such termination,
such Options shall expire on the earlier of the expiration of the term of the Options or according
to the following schedule:

(a) Retirement. If (i) a Participant ceases to be an Employee or Director of the Company or
any Subsidiary or Parent of the Company by reason of retirement provided that the Participant has
attained age 65 and the sum of the Participant’s age and years of service with the Company is 75 or
higher, and (ii) upon such termination all conditions to exercisability of the Options required
pursuant to Section 6.4 hereof other than such holding period have been satisfied, the holding
period required pursuant to Section 6.4 hereof shall automatically be deemed to have been
satisfied, and the Options shall expire, unless exercised, one (1) year after such termination.

(b) Death or Disability. If (i) a Participant ceases to be an Employee or Director of the
Company or any Subsidiary or Parent of the Company prior to the end of the holding period required
by Section 6.4 hereof by reason of death or disability under the provisions of an applicable
long-term disability plan, and (ii) upon such termination all conditions to exercisability of the
Options required pursuant to Section 6.4 hereof other than such holding period have been satisfied,
the holding period required pursuant to Section 6.4 hereof shall automatically be deemed to have
been satisfied, and the Options shall expire, unless exercised by the Participant, or if such
termination was as a result of Participant’s death, by Participant’s legal representatives or
heirs, one (1) year after such termination.

(c) Cause. Options shall expire upon receipt by the Participant of the notice of termination
if he or she is terminated for Cause.

(d) Change in Control. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this subsection (d), unless
the Committee shall expressly provide otherwise in the Option Document at the time of grant, in the
event a Participant ceases to be an Employee or Director of the Company or any Subsidiary or Parent
of the Company because such Participant’s relationship is involuntarily terminated by the Company
or any of its Subsidiaries (other than termination as a result of death or disability or for Cause
as described in subsections (b) and (c) above) within one (1) year following a Change in Control,
any holding period or other condition required pursuant to Section 6.4 hereof shall automatically
be deemed to have been satisfied, the Options shall become fully vested and exercisable, and the
Options shall remain exercisable for a period of one (1) year following such termination.

(e) All Other Terminations. Options shall expire, unless exercised, three (3) months after the
date of such termination; provided, however, if an Incentive Stock Option is exercised by an
Employee more than three (3) months after the termination of such Employee’s employment for any
reason (or more than twelve (12) months following such Employee’s death or if such Employee is
permanently and totally disabled, within the meaning of Section 22(e) of the Code), the Incentive
Stock Option will afterwards be treated as a Nonqualified Stock Option for all purposes. For
purposes of this Section 6.9, unless the Committee determines otherwise in its discretion, a
Participant’s relationship as an Employee or Director of the Company or any Subsidiary or Parent of
the Company will be treated as continuing intact while the Participant is on military leave, sick
leave or another Approved Leave of Absence if the period of leave does not exceed ninety (90) days,
or a longer period to the extent that such Participant’s right to reemployment with the Company or
a Subsidiary or Parent of the Company is guaranteed by statute or by contract. If the period of
leave exceeds ninety (90) days and the Participant’s right to continue as an Employee or Director
is not guaranteed by statute or contract, the relationship will be deemed to have ceased on the
91st day of such leave.

SECTION 6.10 Deferral. The Committee may permit a Participant to elect to defer receipt of all
or part of the Shares issuable upon the exercise of Options that were both outstanding and vested
as of December 31, 2004, pursuant to rules and regulations adopted by the Committee.

SECTION 6.11 Option Document. Each Option Document shall contain provisions regarding (a) the
number of Shares that may be issued upon exercise of the Option, (b) the purchase price of the
Shares and the means of payment for the Shares, (c) the term of the Option, (d) terms and
conditions on the vesting and/or exercisability of an Option, (e) restrictions on the transfer of
the Option and forfeiture provisions and (f) such further terms and conditions, in each case not
inconsistent with this Plan as may be determined from time to time by the Committee.

SECTION 6.12 No Option Repricing. Without the approval of stockholders, the Company shall not
reprice any Options, except for adjustments under Section 14.2 hereof as determined by the
Committee. For purposes of this Plan, the terms “reprice” and “repricing” shall have the meanings
given them under the relevant rules of the New York Stock Exchange.

under Section 6.1 hereof. The provisions of Stock Appreciation Rights need not be the same with
respect to each grant or each recipient. Any Stock Appreciation Right granted in tandem with an
Option may be granted at the same time such Option is granted or at any time thereafter before
exercise or expiration of such Option. All Stock Appreciation Rights under the Plan shall be
granted subject to the same terms and conditions applicable to Options as set forth in Article VI
hereof, including, without limitation, the terms and conditions set forth in Sections 6.2, 6.3 and

Stock Appreciation Rights granted in tandem with a previously granted Option shall have the terms
and conditions of such Option. Subject to the provisions of Article VI hereof, the Committee may
impose such other conditions or restrictions on any Stock Appreciation Right as it shall deem
appropriate. Stock Appreciation Rights may be settled in Shares or cash as determined by the
Committee at the time the Award is granted, so long as any cash-settled Stock Appreciation Right
(or portion thereof) that was both granted after October 3, 2004 and vests after December 31, 2004
complies with all of the applicable provisions of Section 409A of the Code and any regulations
promulgated thereunder to avoid the imposition of the additional tax under Section 409A(a)(1)(B) of
the Code.

ARTICLE VIII

TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF AWARDS OF RESTRICTED STOCK

SECTION 8.1 General. Restricted Stock may be granted to any Employee or Director of the
Company or any Subsidiary or Parent of the Company. The Committee may specify that the grant,
vesting or retention of any or all Restricted Stock is intended to satisfy the requirements for
“performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code, provided that the performance
criteria for the grant, vesting or retention of any such Restricted Stock shall be a measure based
on one or more Qualifying Performance Criteria selected by the Committee and specified at the time
the Restricted Stock is granted. The Committee shall certify the extent to which any Qualifying
Performance Criteria has been satisfied, and the amount payable as a result thereof, prior to
payment of any Restricted Stock that are intended to satisfy the requirements for
“performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code.

SECTION 8.2 Restrictions.

(a) Restriction Period and/or Vesting Conditions. With respect to each grant of Restricted
Stock under the Plan, the Committee shall determine:

(i) the time period or periods, if any, including any conditions for determining such period
or periods, during which the restrictions on such Restricted Stock shall apply (the “Restriction
Period”); provided that in no event, other than as provided in Section 8.3 hereof, shall such
restrictions terminate prior to three (3) years after the date of grant if the vesting of the
Restricted Stock is based solely on continuous employment or service as a Director or the passage
of time; provided further, that the restrictions on such Restricted Stock may lapse in monthly pro
rata installments (i.e., 1/36 per month for 3 years), and/or

(ii) other terms or conditions, if any, including the attainment of performance goals
(including the attainment of Qualifying Performance Criteria), to the right of the Participant to
receive such Restricted Stock (“Vesting Conditions”); provided, however, that in no event, other
than as provided in Section 8.3 hereof, shall the restrictions on such Restricted Stock terminate
prior to one (1) year after the date of grant if the vesting of such Restricted Stock is subject to
the attainment of Qualifying Performance Criteria (such one (1) year period to be deemed a
Restriction Period).

(b) Rights in Restricted Stock. At the time of grant of Restricted Stock to a Participant, an
electronic account representing the number of Shares granted shall be registered in the
Participant’s name but shall be held by the Company for his or her account. The Participant shall
have the entire beneficial ownership interest in, and all rights and privileges of a stockholder as
to, such Restricted Stock, including the right to vote such Restricted Stock and, unless the
Committee shall determine otherwise, the right to receive dividends thereon payable in shares of
Restricted Stock subject to the same restrictions as the Restricted Stock with respect to which it
is paid, subject to the following restrictions, except as provided by this Section 8.2 and Section
8.3 hereof: (i) the Participant shall not be entitled to delivery of the Shares until the
expiration of the Restriction Period, if any, and/or the satisfaction of any Vesting Conditions;
(ii) none of the Restricted Stock may be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged, or otherwise
encumbered or disposed of during the Restriction Period, if any, and/or prior to the satisfaction
of any Vesting Conditions; and (iii) all of the Restricted Stock shall be forfeited and all rights
of the Participant to such Restricted Stock shall terminate without further obligation on the part
of the Company unless the Participant continues to be an Employee or Director of the Company or any
Subsidiary or Parent of the Company for the entire Restriction Period, if any, and any applicable
Vesting Conditions have been satisfied. Any Shares or other securities or property received as a
result of a transaction listed in Section 14.2 hereof shall be subject to the same restrictions as
such Restricted Stock unless the Committee shall determine otherwise.

SECTION 8.3 Termination of Relationship. Unless the Committee shall determine otherwise, at
such time as a Participant ceases to be an Employee or Director of the Company or any Subsidiary or
Parent of the Company, Restricted Stock held by such Participant shall be treated as provided
below:

(a) Retirement. If (i) a Participant ceases to be an Employee or Director of the Company or
any Subsidiary or Parent of the Company prior to the end of any Restriction Period by reason of
retirement provided that the Participant has attained age 65 and the sum of the Participant’s age
and years of service with the Company is 75 or higher, and (ii) all Vesting Conditions, if any,
have been satisfied, the remaining restrictions with respect to such Participant’s Restricted
Stock, including with respect to any remaining Restriction Period, shall lapse. The Shares shall be
delivered to the Participant in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.4 hereof.

(b) Death or Disability. If (i) a Participant ceases to be an Employee or Director of the
Company or any Subsidiary or Parent of the Company prior to the end of any Restriction Period by
reason of death or disability under the provisions of an applicable long-term disability plan, and
(ii) all Vesting Conditions, if any, have been satisfied, the remaining restrictions with respect
to such Participant’s Restricted Stock, including with respect to any remaining Restriction Period,
shall lapse. The Shares shall be delivered to the Participant’s Beneficiary in accordance with the
provisions of Section 8.4 hereof.

(c) Change in Control. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 8.3, unless
the Committee shall expressly provide otherwise in the document(s) evidencing Restricted Stock at
the time of grant, in the event a Participant ceases to be an Employee or Director of the Company
or any Subsidiary or Parent of the Company because such Participant’s relationship is involuntarily
terminated by the Company or any Subsidiary or Parent of the Company or any purchaser, successor or
assign (other than a termination as a result of death or disability or for Cause as described in
subsections (a) and (b) above) within one (1) year following a Change in Control, the remaining
restrictions with respect to Restricted Stock, including with respect to any remaining Restriction
Period or Vesting Conditions, shall lapse, and the Committee may, in its sole discretion, elect to
satisfy its obligations either in cash, in Shares, in shares of equity securities of the entity (or
its parent) resulting from such Change in Control or in any combination of the foregoing.

(d) All Other Terminations. If a Participant ceases to be an Employee or Director of the
Company or any Subsidiary or Parent of the Company prior to the end of a Restriction Period for any
reason other than death, disability, retirement or involuntary termination within one year after a
Change in Control as provided in subsections (a), (b) or (c) above, the Participant shall
immediately forfeit all Restricted Stock then subject to any restrictions, including with respect
to any Restriction Period or Vesting Conditions, except that the Committee may, if it finds that
the circumstances in the particular case so warrant, allow a Participant to retain any or all of
the Restricted Stock then subject to the restrictions of Section 8.2 hereof and all restrictions
applicable to such Restricted Stock shall lapse. The Shares shall be delivered to the Participant
in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.4 hereof.

SECTION 8.4 Payment of Restricted Stock. At the end of the Restriction Period, if any, and
after all Vesting Conditions, if any, have been satisfied, or at such earlier time as provided for
in Section 8.3 hereof, all restrictions applicable to the Restricted Stock shall lapse, and the
Shares equal to the number of Restricted Stock, free of all restrictions, shall be delivered to the
Participant or his or her Beneficiary, as the case may be.

ARTICLE IX

STOCK UNITS

SECTION 9.1 Stock Units. The Committee may also grant Awards of Stock Units under the Plan to
any Employee or Director of the Company or any Subsidiary or Parent of the Company. The Committee
may specify that the grant, vesting or retention of any or all Stock Units is intended to satisfy
the requirements for “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code, provided
that the performance criteria for the grant, vesting or retention of any such Stock Units shall be
a measure based on one or more Qualifying Performance Criteria selected by the Committee and
specified at the time the Stock Units are granted. The Committee shall certify the extent to which
any Qualifying Performance Criteria has been satisfied, and the amount payable as a result thereof,
prior to payment of any Stock Units that are intended to satisfy the requirements for
“performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code. Awards of Stock Units shall be
payable in Shares or cash as determined by the Committee. The Committee may permit a Participant to
elect to defer receipt of payment of all or part of any Award of Stock Units pursuant to rules and
regulations adopted by the Committee; provided, however, that no such deferral shall be allowed if
the Committee determines, in its sole discretion, that the deferral would result in the imposition
of the additional tax under Section 409A(a)(1)(B) of the Code. Unless the Committee provides
otherwise at the time an Award of Stock Units to a Participant is made, all Stock Units granted
under the Plan shall be subject to vesting periods and/or periods of restriction which are not less
stringent than those specified in Section 8.2 hereof with respect to awards of Restricted Stock.

ARTICLE X

TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF INCENTIVE BONUSES

SECTION 10.1 Incentive Bonuses. Each Incentive Bonus Award will confer upon the Participant
the opportunity to earn a future payment tied to the level of achievement with respect to one or
more performance criteria established for a performance period established by the Committee.

SECTION 10.2 Incentive Bonus Document. Each Incentive Bonus Document shall contain provisions
regarding (a) the target and maximum amount payable to the Participant as an Incentive Bonus, (b)
the performance criteria and level of achievement versus these criteria that shall determine the
amount of such payment, (c) the term of the performance period as to which performance shall be
measured for determining the amount of any payment, (d) the timing of any payment earned by virtue
of performance, (e) restrictions on the alienation or transfer of the Incentive Bonus prior to
actual payment, (f) forfeiture provisions and (g) such further terms and conditions, in each case
not inconsistent with this Plan, as may be determined from time to time by the Committee.

SECTION 10.3 Performance Criteria. The Committee shall establish the performance criteria and
level of achievement with respect to such criteria that shall determine the target and maximum
amount payable under an Incentive Bonus Award, which criteria may be based on Company performance
with respect to financial-related or other goals and/or personal achievement of individual
performance goals. The maximum amount payable as an Incentive Bonus may be a multiple of the target
amount payable. The maximum amount payable as an Incentive Bonus under this Plan during any
calendar year to any one Participant shall not exceed $4,000,000 unless such Incentive Bonus is not
intended to be treated as “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code or such
limitation is no longer required under Section 162(m) of the Code. The Committee may specify the
percentage of the target Incentive Bonus that is intended to satisfy the requirements for
“performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code, provided that the performance
criteria for any portion of an Incentive Bonus that is intended by the Committee to satisfy the
requirements for “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code shall be a
measure based on one or more Qualifying Performance Criteria selected by the Committee and
specified at the time the Incentive Bonus Award is granted. The Committee shall certify the extent
to which any Qualifying Performance Criteria has been satisfied, and the amount payable as a result
thereof, prior to payment of any Incentive Bonus that is intended to satisfy the requirements for
“performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code.

SECTION 10.4 Timing and Form of Payment. The Committee shall determine the timing of payment
of any Incentive Bonus. The Committee may provide for or, subject to such terms and conditions as
the Committee may specify, may permit a Participant to elect for the payment of any Incentive Bonus
to be deferred to a specified date or event; provided, however, that no such deferral shall be
allowed if the Committee determines, in its sole discretion, that the deferral would result in the
imposition of the additional tax under Section 409A(a)(1)(B) of the Code.  An Incentive
Bonus may be payable in Shares or in cash. Any Incentive Bonus that is paid in cash shall not
affect the number of Shares otherwise available for issuance under this Plan.

SECTION 10.5 Discretionary Adjustments. Notwithstanding satisfaction of any performance goals,
the amount paid under an Incentive Bonus Award on account of either financial performance or
personal performance evaluations may be reduced by the Committee on the basis of such further
considerations as the Committee shall determine.

ARTICLE XI

OTHER STOCK UNIT AWARD

SECTION 11.1 Other Stock Unit Award. Subject to the terms and provisions of this Plan and
applicable law, the Committee, at any time and from time to time, may issue to Participants, either
alone or in addition to other Awards made under this Plan, Other Stock Unit Awards that may be in
the form of Shares or other securities. The value of each such Award shall be based, in whole or in
part, on the value of the underlying Shares or other securities. The Committee, in its sole and
complete discretion, may determine that an Award, either in the form of an Other Stock Unit Award
under this Section 11.1 or as an Award otherwise granted pursuant to this Plan, may provide to the
Participant (a) dividends or dividend equivalents (payable on a current or deferred basis) and (b)
cash payments in lieu of or in addition to an Award. Subject to the provisions of this Plan, the
Committee in its sole and complete discretion shall determine the terms, restrictions, conditions,
vesting requirements, and payment rules (all of which are sometimes hereinafter collectively
referred to as “Other Stock Unit Award Rules”) of the Award. The Award for any such Other Stock
Unit Award shall specify the Other Stock Unit Award Rules of each Award as determined by the
Committee. However, each Other Stock Unit Award need not be subject to identical Other Stock Unit
Award Rules.

SECTION 11.2 Other Stock Unit Award Rules. The Committee, in its sole and complete discretion,
may grant an Other Stock Unit Award subject to the following Other Stock Unit Award Rules:

(a) All rights with respect to such Other Stock Unit Awards granted to a Participant shall be
exercisable during his or her lifetime only by such Participant or his or her guardian or legal
representative.

(b) Other Stock Unit Awards may require the payment of cash consideration by the Participant
upon receipt of the Award or provide that the Award, and any Shares or other securities issued in
conjunction with the Award, be delivered without the payment of cash consideration.

(c) The Committee, in its sole and complete discretion, may establish certain Qualifying
Performance Criteria that may relate in whole or in part to receipt of the Other Stock Unit Awards.

(d) Other Stock Unit Awards may be subject to a deferred payment schedule; provided, however,
that no such deferral shall be allowed if the Committee determines, in its sole discretion, that
the deferral would result in the imposition of the additional tax under Section 409A(a)(1)(B) of
the Code. Furthermore, all Other Stock Unit Awards granted under the Plan shall be subject to
vesting periods and/or periods of restriction which are not less stringent than those specified in
Section 8.2 hereof with respect to awards of Restricted Stock.

(e) The Committee, in its sole and complete discretion, as a result of certain circumstances,
including, without limitation, the assumption of, or substitution of stock unit awards of a company
with which the Company participates in an acquisition, separation, or similar corporate
transaction, may waive or otherwise remove, in whole or in part, any restriction or condition
imposed on an Other Stock Unit Award at the time of grant.

ARTICLE XII

DIVIDENDS AND DIVIDEND EQUIVALENTS

SECTION 12.1 Dividends and Dividend Equivalents. Any Award may provide the Participant with
the right to receive dividend payments or dividend equivalent payments on the Shares subject to the
Award, whether or not such Award has been exercised or is vested. Such payments may be made in cash
or may be credited as cash or Stock Units to a Participant’s account and later settled in cash or
Shares or a combination thereof, as determined by the Committee. Such payments and credits may be
subject to such conditions and contingencies as the Committee may establish.

ARTICLE XIII

REGULATORY APPROVALS AND LISTING

SECTION 13.1 Regulatory Approvals and Listing. The Company shall not be required to issue to a
Participant or a Beneficiary, as the case may be, any certificate for any Shares upon exercise of
an Option or Stock Appreciation Right or for any Restricted Stock granted under this Plan or to
make any payment with respect to any Incentive Bonus, Stock Unit or Other Stock Unit Award granted
under this Plan prior to (a) the obtaining of any approval from any governmental agency which the
Company, in its sole discretion, shall determine to be necessary or advisable, (b) the admission of
such Shares to listing on any stock exchange on which the Common Stock may then be listed, and (c)
the completion of any registration or other qualification of such Shares under any state or federal
law or rulings or regulations of any governmental body which the Company, in its sole discretion,
shall determine to be necessary or advisable.

ARTICLE XIV

CHANGES IN CAPITAL STRUCTURE

SECTION 14.1 Corporate Actions Unimpaired. The existence of outstanding Awards (including any
Options) shall not affect in any way the right or power of the Company or its stockholders to make
or authorize any or all adjustments, recapitalizations, reorganizations, exchanges, or other
changes in the Company’s capital structure or its business, or any merger or consolidation of the
Company, or any issuance of Shares or other securities or subscription rights thereto, or any
issuance of bonds, debentures, preferred or prior preference stock ahead of or affecting the Shares
or other securities of the Company or the rights thereof, or the dissolution or liquidation of the
Company, or any sale or transfer of all or any part of its assets or business, or any other
corporate act or proceeding, whether of a similar character or otherwise. Further, except as
expressly provided herein or by the Committee, (a) the issuance by the Company of shares of stock
or any class of securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, for cash, property, labor
or services, upon direct sale, upon the exercise of rights or warrants to subscribe therefore, or
upon conversion of shares or obligations of the Company convertible into such shares or other
securities, (b) the payment of a dividend in property other than Shares, or (c) the occurrence of
any similar transaction, and in any case whether or not for fair value, shall not affect, and no
adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number of Shares subject to Options
or other Awards theretofore granted or the purchase price per Share, unless the Committee shall
determine, in its sole discretion, that an adjustment is necessary to provide equitable treatment
to a Participant.

SECTION 14.2 Adjustments Upon Certain Events. If the outstanding Shares or other securities of
the Company, or both, for which the Award is then exercisable or as to which the Award is to be
settled shall at any time be changed or exchanged by declaration of a stock dividend, stock split,
combination of shares, extraordinary dividend of cash and/or assets, recapitalization, or
reorganization, the Committee shall appropriately and equitably adjust the number and kind of
Shares or other securities which are subject to this Plan or subject to any Awards theretofore
granted, and the exercise or settlement prices of such Awards, so as to maintain the proportionate
number of Shares or other securities without changing the aggregate exercise or settlement price.

ARTICLE XV

constructively by attestation), in each case having a Market Value equal to the amount required or
elected to be withheld or paid, or by the Stock Administrator paying such amount pursuant to an
irrevocable commitment by the Stock Administrator to deliver to the Company proceeds from the sale
of the Shares issuable under the Award. Any such election is subject to such conditions or
procedures as may be established by the Committee and may be subject to approval by the Committee.

an amendment thereto authorized by the Committee) expressly states that the Award is transferable
as provided hereunder, no Award granted under this Plan, nor any interest in such Award, may be
sold, assigned, conveyed, gifted, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise transferred in any manner
prior to the vesting or lapse of any and all restrictions applicable thereto, other than (a) by

Change in Control that such amendment or alteration either (i) is required or advisable in order
for the Company, the Plan or the Award to satisfy any law or regulation or to meet the requirements
of any accounting standard, or (ii) is not reasonably likely to significantly diminish the benefits
provided under such Award, or that any such diminishment has been adequately compensated.

LEAVE OF ABSENCE

SECTION 20.1 Leave of Absence. Unless the Committee shall determine otherwise, a leave of
absence other than an Approved Leave of Absence shall be deemed a termination of employment for

ARTICLE XXI

GENERAL PROVISIONS

SECTION 21.1 Employment At Will. Neither the Plan nor the grant of any Award nor any action by
the Company or any Subsidiary or Parent of the Company or the Committee shall be held or construed
to confer upon any person any right to be continued in the employ of the Company or any Subsidiary
or Parent of the Company. The Company and each Subsidiary and Parent expressly reserve the right to

whenever in the sole discretion of the Company or any Subsidiary or Parent of the Company, as the
case may be, its interest may so require.

ARTICLE XXII

NON-EXCLUSIVITY OF PLAN

SECTION 22.1 Non-Exclusivity of 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 or the Committee to adopt such other incentive
arrangements as either may deem desirable, including without limitation, the granting of stock
options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, stock units or incentive bonuses otherwise
than under this Plan, and such arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only

not be required to register in a Participant’s name or deliver any Shares prior to the completion
of any registration or qualification of such Shares under any federal, state or local law or any
ruling or regulation of any government body which the Committee shall determine to be necessary or
advisable. This Plan is intended to constitute an unfunded arrangement for a select group of
management and other key employees. No Option shall be exercisable unless a registration statement
with respect to the Option is effective or the Company has determined that such registration is
unnecessary. Unless the Awards and Shares covered by this Plan have been registered under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Company has determined that such registration is
unnecessary, each person receiving an Award and/or Shares pursuant to any Award may be required by
the Company to give a representation in writing that such person is acquiring such Shares for his

is converted into debt or equity securities of the Maker in the Maker’s next financing involving
sales by Maker of a class of its preferred stock or convertible debt securities, or any other
similar or equivalent financing transaction.

This Note shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York as such laws
apply to contracts made and to be performed entirely within the State of New York.

If this Note is not paid when due, the Lender may, in its discretion, proceed to protect and
enforce its rights by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Lender shall deem most effectual
to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or
agreement under this Note or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any
other proper remedy.

The Maker and each surety, endorser, guarantor, and other party ever liable for payment of any
sums of money payable on this Note, jointly and severally, waive presentment and demand for
payment, protest, notice of protest and nonpayment, notice of the intention to accelerate, notice
of acceleration, and agree that their liability on this Note shall not be affected by any renewal
or extension in the time of payment hereof, by any release or change in any security for the
payment of this Note, and hereby consent to any and all renewals, extensions, indulgences,
releases, or changes, regardless of the number of such renewals, extensions, releases, or changes.

In case any provision in this Note shall be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the validity,
legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or
impaired thereby.

In any case where any date provided herein shall not be a business day, then (notwithstanding
any other provision of this Note) the event required or permitted on such date shall be required or
permitted, as the case may be, on the next succeeding business day with the same force and effect
as if made on the date upon which such event was required or permitted pursuant hereto.

No delay or omission of Lender to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any event of
default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such event or default
or any acquiescence therein. Every right or remedy given hereby or by law may be exercised from
time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient.

In Witness Whereof, the undersigned hereby executes this Promissory Note as of the
date first above written
