     4. Administration: The Plan shall be administered under the supervision of the Board of
Directors of the Issuer, which may exercise its powers, to the extent herein provided, through the
agency of its Compensation and Management Development Committee (the “Committee”), which shall be
appointed by the Board of Directors of the Issuer.

     (a) Composition of Committee. The Committee shall consist of not less than two (2) members of
the Board who are intended to meet the definition of “outside director” under the provisions of
Section 162(m) of the Code and the definition of “non-employee directors” under the provisions of
the Exchange Act or rules or regulations promulgated thereunder.

     (b) Delegation and Administration. The Committee may delegate to one or more separate
committees (any such committee a “Subcommittee”) composed of one or more directors of the Issuer
(who may, but need not be, members of the Committee) the ability to grant Awards with respect to
participants who are not executive officers of the Company under the provisions of the Exchange Act
or rules or regulations promulgated thereunder, and such actions shall be treated for all purposes
as if taken by the Committee. Any action by any such Subcommittee within the scope of such
delegation shall be deemed for all purposes to have been taken by the Committee and references in
this Plan to the Committee shall include any such Subcommittee. The Committee may delegate the
administration of the Plan to an officer or officers of the Issuer, and such administrator(s) may
have the authority to execute and distribute agreements or other documents evidencing or relating
to Awards granted by the Committee under this Plan, to maintain records relating to the grant,
vesting, exercise, forfeiture or expiration of Awards, to process or oversee the issuance of shares
of Common Stock upon the exercise, vesting and/or settlement of an Award, to interpret the terms of
Awards and to take such other actions as the Committee may specify, provided that in no case shall
any such administrator be authorized to grant Awards under the Plan. Any action by any such
administrator within the scope of its delegation shall be deemed for all purposes to have been
taken by the Committee and references in this Plan to the Committee shall include any such
administrator, provided that the actions and interpretations of any such administrator shall be
subject to review and approval, disapproval or modification by the Committee.

     (c) Regulations. The Committee, from time to time, may adopt rules and regulations
(“Regulations”) for carrying out the provisions and purposes of the Plan and make such other
determinations, not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, as the Committee shall deem
appropriate. The interpretation and construction of any provision of the Plan by the Committee
shall, unless otherwise determined by the Board of Directors, be final and conclusive.

     (d) Records and Actions. The Committee shall maintain a written record of its proceedings. A
majority of the Committee shall constitute a quorum, and the acts of a majority of the members
present at any meeting at which a quorum is present, or acts unanimously approved in writing, shall
be the acts of the Committee.

     5. Eligibility: Awards may be granted only to present or future officers and key employees
of the Company, including Subsidiaries and Affiliates which become such after the effective date of
the Plan. Any officer or key employee of the Company shall be eligible to receive one or more
Awards under the Plan. Any director who is not an officer or employee of the Company shall be
ineligible to receive an Award under the Plan. The adoption of this Plan shall not be deemed to
give any officer or employee any right to an Award, except to the extent and upon such terms and
conditions as may be determined by the Committee.

     6. Qualifying Performance Criteria: Awards under Section 8 of this Plan shall be, and any
other type of Award (other than incentive stock options) in the discretion of the Committee may be,
contingent upon achievement of Qualifying Performance Criteria.

     (a) Available Criteria. For purposes of this Plan, the term “Qualifying Performance Criteria”
shall mean any one or more of the following performance criteria, either individually,
alternatively or in any combination, applied to either the Company as a whole or to a business
unit, Affiliate or Subsidiary, either individually, alternatively or in any combination, and
measured either annually or cumulatively over a period of years, on an absolute basis or relative
to a pre-established target, to previous years’ results or to a designated comparison group, in
each case as specified by the Committee in the Award:

	 	(1)	 	net sales,
	 
	 	(2)	 	revenue,
	 
	 	(3)	 	gross profit,

3

 

	 	(4)	 	operating profit,
	 
	 	(5)	 	net earnings,
	 
	 	(6)	 	earnings per share,
	 
	 	(7)	 	profit margin (gross, operating or net),
	 
	 	(8)	 	cash flow, net cash flow or free cash flow,
	 
	 	(9)	 	acquisition integration synergies (measurable savings and
efficiencies resulting from integration),
	 
	 	(10)	 	acquisition integration milestone achievements,
	 
	 	(11)	 	stock price performance,
	 
	 	(12)	 	total stockholder return,
	 
	 	(13)	 	expense reduction,
	 
	 	(14)	 	debt or net debt reduction, and
	 
	 	(15)	 	financial return ratios (including return on equity, return on
assets or net assets, return on capital or invested capital and return on
operating profit).

     (b) Adjustments. The Committee may adjust any evaluation of performance under a Qualifying
Performance Criteria to exclude the effects of any of the following items or events that occurs or
otherwise impacts reported results during a performance period: (1) asset write-downs, (2)
litigation or claim judgments or settlements, (3) changes in tax law, accounting principles or
other such laws or provisions affecting reported results, (4) accruals for reorganization or
restructuring programs, (5) acquisition and integration expenses and purchase accounting, (6)
share-based payments, and (7) any extraordinary non-recurring items as described in Accounting
Principles Board Opinion No. 30 and/or in management’s discussion and analysis of financial
condition and results of operations appearing in the Issuer’s annual report to stockholders for the
applicable year. Notwithstanding satisfaction or completion of any Qualifying Performance
Criteria, to the extent specified at the time of grant of an Award, the number of shares, stock
options, stock appreciation rights, performance shares, performance units, restricted stock, or
restricted stock units or other benefits granted, issued, retainable and/or vested under an Award
on account of satisfaction of such Qualifying Performance Criteria may be reduced by the Committee
on the basis of such further considerations as the Committee in its sole discretion shall
determine.

     (c) Establishment and Achievement of Targets. The Committee shall establish the specific
targets for the selected Qualified Performance Criteria. For Awards that are intended to qualify
for exemption from the limitation on deductibility imposed by Section 162(m) of the Code or any
successor provision, the targets shall be established within the required time period. These
targets may be set at a specific level or may be expressed as relative to the comparable measure at
comparison companies or a defined index. In cases where Qualifying Performance Criteria are
established, the Committee shall determine the extent to which the criteria have been achieved and
the corresponding level to which vesting requirements have been satisfied or other restrictions are
to be removed from the Award or the extent to which a participant’s right to receive an Award
should lapse in cases where the Qualifying Performance Criteria have not been met, and shall
certify these determinations in writing. The Committee may provide for the determination of the
attainment of such targets in installments where it deems appropriate.

     7. Stock Options: Stock options under the Plan shall consist of incentive stock options
under Section 422 of the Code or nonqualified stock options (options not intended to qualify as
incentive stock options), as the Committee shall determine. In addition, the Committee may grant
stock appreciation rights in conjunction with an option, as set forth in Section 7(b)(12), or may
grant an option in conjunction with an award of performance units or performance shares, as set
forth in Section 7(b)(11) (an “Associated Option”).

     Each option shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:

4

 

     (a) Grant of Options. The Committee shall (1) select the officers and key employees of the
Company to whom options may from time to time be granted, (2) determine whether incentive stock
options or nonqualified stock options are to be granted, (3) determine the number of shares to be
covered by each option so granted, (4) determine the terms and conditions (not inconsistent with
the Plan) of any option granted hereunder (including but not limited to restrictions upon the
options, conditions of their exercise (including as to nonqualified stock options, subject to any
Qualifying Performance Criteria), or restrictions on the shares of Common Stock issuable upon
exercise thereof), (5) determine whether nonqualified stock options or incentive stock options
granted under the Plan shall include stock appreciation rights and, if so, the Committee shall
determine the terms and conditions thereof in accordance with Section 7(b)(12) hereof, (6)
determine whether any nonqualified stock options granted under the Plan shall be Associated
Options, and (7) prescribe the form of the instruments necessary or advisable in the administration
of options.

     (b) Terms and Conditions of Option. Any option granted under the Plan shall be evidenced by a
Stock Option Agreement entered into by the Company and the optionee, in such form as the Committee
shall approve, which agreement shall be subject to the following terms and conditions and shall
contain such additional terms and conditions not inconsistent with the Plan, and in the case of an
incentive stock option not inconsistent with the provisions of the Code applicable to incentive
stock options, as the Committee shall prescribe:

     (1) Number of Shares Subject to an Option. The Stock Option Agreement shall specify the
number of shares of Common Stock subject to the Agreement. If the option is an Associated
Option, the number of shares of Common Stock subject to such Associated Option shall
initially be equal to the number of performance units or performance shares subject to the
Award, but one share of Common Stock shall be canceled for each performance unit or
performance share paid out under the Award.

     (2) Option Price. The purchase price per share of Common Stock purchasable under an
option will be determined by the Committee but will be not less than the Fair Market Value of
a share of Common Stock on the date of the grant of the option, except as provided in Section
19 relating to assumed or substitute Awards.

     (3) Option Period. The period of each option shall be fixed by the Committee, but no
option shall be exercisable after the expiration of ten years from the date the option is
granted.

     (4) Consideration. Unless the Committee determines otherwise, each optionee, as
consideration for the grant of an option, shall remain in the continuous employ of the
Company for at least one year from the date of the granting of such option, and no option
shall be exercisable until after the completion of such one year period of employment by the
optionee.

     (5) Exercise of Option. The Committee shall determine the time or times at which an
option may be exercised in whole or in part during the option period. An optionee may
exercise an option by giving written notice of exercise to the Company specifying the number
of shares to be purchased. Such written notice must be accompanied by payment in full of the
purchase price and Withholding Taxes (as defined in Section 13 hereof), due either (i) by
certified or bank check, (ii) by payment through a broker in accordance with procedures
permitted by Regulation T of the Federal Reserve Board, (iii) in shares of Common Stock owned
by the optionee having a Fair Market Value at the date of exercise equal to such purchase
price, provided that payment in shares of Common Stock will not be permitted unless at least
100 shares of Common Stock are required and delivered for such purpose, (iv) in any
combination of the foregoing, or (v) by any other method that the Committee approves. At its
discretion, the Committee may modify or suspend any method for the exercise of stock options,
including any of the methods specified in the previous sentence. Delivery of shares for
exercising an option shall be made either through the physical delivery of shares or through
an appropriate certification or attestation of valid ownership. Shares of Common Stock used
to exercise an option shall have been held by the optionee for the requisite period of time
to avoid adverse accounting consequences to the Company with respect to the option. No
shares shall be issued until full payment therefor has been made. An optionee shall have the
rights of a stockholder only with respect to shares of stock that have been recorded on the
Company’s books on behalf of the optionee or for which certificates have been issued to the
optionee.

     Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, the Committee may, in its sole
discretion, allow the exercise of a lapsed grant if the Committee determines that: (i) the
lapse was solely the result of the Company’s inability to execute the exercise of an option
Award due to conditions beyond the Company’s control and (ii) the optionee made valid and
reasonable efforts to exercise the Award. In the event the Committee makes such a
determination, the Company shall allow the exercise to occur as promptly as possible
following its receipt of exercise instructions subsequent to such determination.

5

 

     (6) Nontransferability of Options. No option or stock appreciation right granted under
the Plan shall be transferable by the optionee other than by will or by the laws of descent
and distribution, and such option or stock appreciation right shall be exercisable, during
the optionee’s lifetime, only by the optionee.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may set forth in a Stock Option Agreement
at the time of grant or thereafter, that the options (other than incentive stock options) may
be transferred to members of the optionee’s immediate family, to one or more trusts solely
for the benefit of such immediate family members and to partnerships in which such family
members or trusts are the only partners. For this purpose, immediate family means the
optionee’s spouse, parents, children, stepchildren, grandchildren and legal dependants. Any
transfer of options under this provision will not be effective until notice of such transfer
is delivered to the Company.

     (7) Termination of Employment Other than by Retirement, Death or Disability. If an
optionee shall cease to be employed by the Company for any reason (other than termination of
employment by reason of Retirement, death or Disability) after the optionee shall have been
continuously so employed for one year after the granting of the option, or as otherwise
determined by the Committee, the option shall be exercisable only to the extent that the
optionee was otherwise entitled to exercise it at the time of such cessation of employment
with the Company, unless otherwise determined by the Committee. The option shall remain
exercisable for three months after such cessation of employment (or, if earlier, the end of
the option period), unless the Committee determines otherwise. The Plan does not confer upon
any optionee any right with respect to continuation of employment by the Company.

     (8) Retirement of Optionee. If an optionee shall cease to be employed by the Company by
reason of Retirement after the optionee shall have been continuously employed by the Company
for a period of at least one year after the granting of the option, or as otherwise
determined by the Committee, all remaining unexercised portion(s) of the option shall
immediately vest and become exercisable by the optionee and shall remain exercisable for the
remainder of the option period set forth therein, except that, in the case of an incentive
stock option, the option shall remain exercisable for three months following Retirement (or,
if earlier, the end of the option period).

     (9) Death or Disability of Optionee. An optionee who ceases to be employed by reason of
Disability shall be treated, for vesting purposes, as though the optionee remained in the
employ of the Company until the earlier of (i) cessation of payments under a disability pay
plan of the Company, (ii) the optionee’s death, or (iii) the optionee’s 65th birthday.

     Except as otherwise provided in Section 7(b)(14), in the event of the optionee’s death
(i) while in the employ of the Company, (ii) while Disabled as described in the preceding
paragraph or (iii) after cessation of employment due to Retirement, the option shall be fully
exercisable by the executors, administrators, legatees or distributees of the optionee’s
estate, as the case may be, at any time following such death. In the event of the optionee’s
death after cessation of employment for any reason other than Disability or Retirement, the
option shall be exercisable by the executors, administrators, legatees or distributees of the
optionee’s estate, as the case may be, at any time during the twelve month period following
such death. Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless the Committee determines otherwise, in no
event shall an option be exercisable unless the optionee shall have been continuously
employed by the Company for a period of at least one year after the option grant, and no
option shall be exercisable after the expiration of the option period set forth in the Stock
Option Agreement. In the event any option is exercised by the executors, administrators,
legatees or distributees of the estate of a deceased optionee, the Company shall be under no
obligation to issue stock thereunder unless and until the Company is satisfied that the
person or persons exercising the option are the duly appointed legal representatives of the
deceased optionee’s estate or the proper legatees or distributees thereof.

     (10) No Deferral Feature. No option or stock appreciation right granted under this Plan
shall include any feature for the deferral of compensation other than, in the case of an
option, the deferral of recognition of income until the later of exercise or disposition of
the option under Section 83 of the Code, or the time the stock acquired pursuant to the
exercise of the option first becomes substantially vested (as defined in regulations
interpreting Section 83 of the Code), or, in the case of a stock appreciation right, the
deferral of recognition of income until the exercise of the stock appreciation right.

     (11) Long-Term Performance Awards. The Committee may from time to time grant
nonqualified stock options under the Plan in conjunction with and related to an award of
performance units or performance shares made under a Long-Term Performance Award as set forth
in Section 8(b)(11). In such event, notwithstanding any other provision hereof, (i) the
number of shares to which the Associated Option applies shall initially be equal to the
number of performance units or performance shares granted by the Award, but such number of shares shall be reduced on a one-share-for-one unit or share

6

 

basis to the extent that the Committee determines, pursuant to the terms of the Award,
to pay to the optionee or the optionee’s beneficiary the performance units or performance
shares granted pursuant to such Award, and (ii) such Associated Option shall be cancelable in
the discretion of the Committee, without the consent of the optionee, under the conditions
and to the extent specified in the Award.

     (12) Stock Appreciation Rights. In the case of any option granted under the Plan,
either at the time of grant or by amendment of such option at any time after such grant,
there may be included a stock appreciation right which shall be subject to such terms and
conditions, not inconsistent with the Plan, as the Committee shall impose, including the
following:

          (A) A stock appreciation right shall be exercisable to the extent, and only
to the extent, that the option in which it is included is at the time exercisable, and
may be exercised within such period only at such time or times as may be determined by
the Committee (and in no event after expiration of ten years from the date the option
was granted);

          (B) A stock appreciation right shall entitle the optionee (or any person
entitled to act under the provisions of Section 7(b)(9)) to surrender unexercised the
option in which the stock appreciation right is included (or any portion of such
option) to the Company and to receive from the Company in exchange therefor that
number of shares having an aggregate value equal to (or, in the discretion of the
Committee, less than) the excess of the value of one share (provided such value does
not exceed such multiple of the option price per share as may be specified by the
Committee) over the option price per share specified in such option (as determined by
the Committee in accordance with Section 7(b)(2)) times the number of shares called
for by the option, or portion thereof, which is so surrendered. The Committee shall
be entitled to cause the Company to settle its obligation, arising out of the exercise
of a stock appreciation right, by the payment of cash equal to the aggregate value of
the shares the Company would otherwise be obligated to deliver or partly by the
payment of cash and partly by the delivery of shares. Any such election shall be made
within 30 business days after the receipt by the Committee of written notice of the
exercise of the stock appreciation right. The value of a share for this purpose shall
be the Fair Market Value thereof on the last business day preceding the date of the
election to exercise the stock appreciation right;

          (C) No fractional shares shall be delivered under this Section 7(b)(12) but in
lieu thereof a cash adjustment shall be made;

          (D) If a stock appreciation right included in an option is exercised, such
option shall be deemed to have been exercised to the extent of the number of shares
called for by the option or portion thereof which is surrendered on exercise of the
stock appreciation right and no new option may be granted covering such shares under
this Plan; and

          (E) If an option which includes a stock appreciation right is exercised, such
stock appreciation right shall be deemed to have been canceled to the extent of the
number of shares called for by the option or portion thereof is exercised and no new
stock appreciation rights may be granted covering such shares under this Plan.

     (13) Incentive Stock Options. Incentive stock options may only be granted to employees
of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries and parent corporations, as defined in Section 424 of the
Code. In the case of any incentive stock option granted under the Plan, the aggregate Fair
Market Value of the shares of Common Stock (determined at the time of grant of each option)
with respect to which incentive stock options granted under the Plan and any other plan of
the Issuer or its parent or a Subsidiary which are exercisable for the first time by an
employee during any calendar year shall not exceed $100,000 or such other amount as may be
required by the Code.

     (14) Rights of Transferee. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if an
option has been transferred in accordance with Section 7(b)(6), the option shall be
exercisable solely by the transferee. The option shall remain subject to the provisions of
the Plan, including that it will be exercisable only to the extent that the optionee or
optionee’s estate would have been entitled to exercise it if the optionee had not transferred
the option. In the event of the death of the optionee prior to the expiration of the right
to exercise the transferred option, the period during which the option shall be exercisable
will terminate on the date one year following the date of the optionee’s death. In the event
of the death of the transferee prior to the expiration of the right to exercise the option,
the period during which the option shall be exercisable by the executors, administrators,
legatees and distributees of the transferee’s estate, as the case may be, will terminate on
the date one year

7

 

following the date of the transferee’s death. In no event will the option be
exercisable after the expiration of the option period set forth in the Stock Option
Agreement. The option shall be subject to such other rules as the Committee shall determine.

     (15) No Reload. Options shall not be granted under this Plan in consideration for and
shall not be conditioned upon the delivery of shares of Common Stock in payment of the option
price and/or tax withholding obligation under any other employee stock option.

     8. Long-term Performance Awards: Long-term performance awards under the Plan shall consist
of the conditional grant of a specified number of performance units or performance shares. The
conditional grant of a performance unit to a participant will entitle the participant to receive a
specified dollar value, variable under conditions specified in the Award, if the Qualifying
Performance Criteria specified in the Award are achieved and the other terms and conditions thereof
are satisfied. The conditional grant of a performance share to a participant will entitle the
participant to receive a specified number of shares of Common Stock, or the equivalent cash value,
as determined by the Committee, if the Qualifying Performance Criteria specified in the Award are
achieved and the other terms and conditions thereof are satisfied. Each Award shall be subject to
the following terms and conditions:

     (a) Grant of Awards. The Committee shall (1) select the officers and key executives of the
Company to whom Awards under this Section 8 may from time to time be granted, (2) determine the
number of performance units or performance shares covered by each Award, (3) determine the terms
and conditions of each performance unit or performance share awarded and the award period and
performance objectives with respect to each Award, (4) determine the extent to which a participant
may elect to defer payment of a percentage of an Award (the “Deferred Portion”) pursuant to the
terms of a deferred compensation plan of the Company, (5) determine whether payment with respect to
the portion of an Award which has not been deferred (the “Current Portion”) and the payment with
respect to the Deferred Portion of an Award shall be made entirely in cash, entirely in Common
Stock or partially in cash and partially in Common Stock, (6) determine whether the Award is to be
made independently of or in conjunction with a nonqualified stock option granted under the Plan,
and (7) prescribe the form of the instruments necessary or advisable in the administration of the
Awards.

     (b) Terms and Conditions of Award. Any Award conditionally granting performance units or
performance shares to a participant shall be evidenced by a Performance Unit Agreement or
Performance Share Agreement, as applicable, executed by the Company and the participant, in such
form as the Committee shall approve, which agreement shall contain in substance the following terms
and conditions applicable to the Award and such additional terms and conditions as the Committee
shall prescribe:

     (1) Number and Value of Performance Units. The Performance Unit Agreement shall specify
the number of performance units conditionally granted to the participant. If the Award has
been made in conjunction with the grant of an Associated Option, the number of performance
units granted shall initially be equal to the number of shares which the participant is
granted the right to purchase pursuant to the Associated Option, but one performance unit
shall be canceled for each share of the Issuer’s Common Stock purchased upon exercise of the
Associated Option or for each stock appreciation right included in such option that has been
exercised. The Performance Unit Agreement shall specify the threshold, target and maximum
dollar values of each performance unit and corresponding performance objectives as provided
under Section 8(b)(5).

     (2) Number and Value of Performance Shares. The Performance Share Agreement shall
specify the number of performance shares conditionally granted to the participant. If the
Award has been made in conjunction with the grant of an Associated Option, the number of
performance shares granted shall initially be equal to the number of shares which the
participant is granted the right to purchase pursuant to the Associated Option, but one
performance share shall be canceled for each share of the Issuer’s Common Stock purchased
upon exercise of the Associated Option or for each stock appreciation right included in such
option that has been exercised. The Performance Share Agreement shall specify that each
Performance Share will have a value equal to one (1) share of Common Stock.

     (3) Award Periods. For each Award, the Committee shall designate an award period with a
duration to be determined by the Committee in its discretion, but in no event less than three
calendar years, within which specified performance objectives are to be attained. There may
be several award periods in existence at any one time and the duration of performance
objectives may differ from each other.

     (4) Consideration. Each participant, as consideration for the award of performance
units or performance shares, shall remain in the continuous employ of the Company for at
least one year after the date of the making of such Award, and

8

 

no Award shall be payable until after the completion of such one year of employment by
the participant, except as otherwise determined by the Committee.

     (5) Performance Objectives. The Committee shall select the Qualifying Performance
Criteria and specific targets for each award period.

     (6) Determination and Payment of Performance Units or Performance Shares Earned. As
soon as practicable after the end of an award period, the Committee shall determine the
extent to which Awards have been earned on the basis of the Company’s actual performance in
relation to the Qualifying Performance Criteria as set forth in the Performance Unit
Agreement or Performance Share Agreement and certify these results in writing. The
Performance Unit Agreement or Performance Share Agreement shall specify that as soon as
practicable after the end of each award period, the Committee shall determine whether the
conditions of Sections 8(b)(4) and 8(b)(5) hereof have been met and, if so, shall ascertain
the amount payable or shares which should be distributed to the participant in respect of the
performance units or performance shares. As promptly as practicable after it has determined
that an amount is payable or should be distributed in respect of an Award, the Committee
shall cause the Current Portion of such Award to be paid or distributed to the participant or
the participant’s beneficiaries, as the case may be, in the Committee’s discretion, either
entirely in cash, entirely in Common Stock or partially in cash and partially in Common
Stock. Payment of any Deferred Portion of an Award shall be determined by the terms of the
Company deferred compensation plan under which the deferral was elected.

     In making payment in the form of Common Stock hereunder, the cash equivalent of such
Common Stock shall be determined by the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the day the
Committee designates the performance units shall be payable.

     (7) Nontransferability of Awards and Designation of Beneficiaries. No Award under this
Section of the Plan shall be transferable by the participant other than by will or by the
laws of descent and distribution, except that a participant may designate a beneficiary
pursuant to the provisions hereof. If any participant or the participant’s beneficiary shall
attempt to assign the participant’s rights under the Plan in violation of the provisions
thereof, the Company’s obligation to make any further payments to such participant or the
participant’s beneficiaries shall forthwith terminate.

     A participant may name one or more beneficiaries to receive any payment of an Award to
which the participant may be entitled under the Plan in the event of the participant’s death,
on a form to be provided by the Committee. A participant may change the participant’s
beneficiary designation from time to time in the same manner. If no designated beneficiary
is living on the date on which any payment becomes payable to a participant’s beneficiary, or
if no beneficiary has been specified by the participant, such payment will be payable to the
participant’s estate.

     (8) Retirement and Termination of Employment Other Than by Death or Disability. In the
event of the Retirement prior to the end of an award period of a participant who has
satisfied the one year employment requirement of Section 8(b)(4) with respect to an Award
prior to Retirement, or as otherwise determined by the Committee, the participant, or his
estate, shall be entitled to a payment of such Award at the end of the award period, pursuant
to the terms of the Plan and the participant’s Performance Unit Agreement or Performance
Share Agreement, provided, however, that the participant shall be deemed to have earned that
proportion (to the nearest whole unit or share) of the value of the performance units or
performance shares granted to the participant under such Award as the number of months of the
award period which have elapsed since the first day of the calendar year in which the Award
was made to the end of the month in which the participant’s Retirement occurs, bears to the
total number of months in the award period, subject to the attainment of performance
objectives associated with the Award as certified by the Committee. The participant’s right
to receive any remaining performance units or performance shares shall be canceled and
forfeited.

     Subject to Section 8(b)(6) hereof, the Performance Unit Agreement or Performance Share
Agreement shall specify that the right to receive the performance units or performance shares
granted to such participant shall be conditional and shall be canceled, forfeited and
surrendered if the participant’s continuous employment with the Company shall terminate for
any reason, other than the participant’s death, Disability or Retirement, prior to the end of
the award period, or as otherwise determined by the Committee.

     (9) Disability of Participant. For the purposes of any Award under this Section 8,
a participant who becomes Disabled shall be deemed to have suspended active employment by
reason of Disability commencing on the date the participant becomes entitled to receive payments under a
disability pay plan of the Company and continuing until the date the

9

 

participant is no longer entitled to receive such payments. In the event a participant
becomes Disabled during an award period, but only if the participant has satisfied the one
year employment requirement of Section 8(b)(4) with respect to an Award prior to becoming
Disabled, or as otherwise determined by the Committee, upon the determination by the
Committee of the extent to which an Award has been earned pursuant to Section 8(b)(6), the
participant shall be deemed to have earned that proportion (to the nearest whole unit or
share) of the value of the performance units or performance shares granted to the participant
under such Award as the number of months of the award period in which the participant was not
Disabled bears to the total number of months in the award period, subject to the attainment
of the performance objectives associated with the Award as certified by the Committee. The
participant’s right to receive any remaining performance units or performance shares shall be
canceled and forfeited.

     (10) Death of Participant. In the event of the death prior to the end of an award
period of a participant who has satisfied the one year employment requirement with respect to
an Award under this Section 8 prior to the date of death, or as otherwise determined by the
Committee, the participant’s beneficiaries or estate, as the case may be, shall be entitled
to a payment of such Award upon the end of the award period, pursuant to the terms of the
Plan and the participant’s Performance Unit Agreement or Performance Share Agreement,
provided, however, that the participant shall be deemed to have earned that proportion (to
the nearest whole unit or share) of the value of the performance units or performance shares
granted to the participant under such Award as the number of months of the award period which
have elapsed since the first day of the calendar year in which the Award was made to the end
of the month in which the participant’s death occurs, bears to the total number of months in
the award period. The participant’s right to receive any remaining performance units or
performance shares shall be canceled and forfeited.

     The Committee may, in its discretion, waive, in whole or in part, such cancellation and
forfeiture of any performance units or performance shares.

     (11) Grant of Associated Option. If the Committee determines that the conditional grant
of performance units or performance shares under the Plan is to be made to a participant in
conjunction with the grant of a nonqualified stock option under the Plan, the Committee shall
grant the participant an Associated Option under the Plan subject to the terms and conditions
of this Section 8(b)(11). In such event, such Award shall be contingent upon the participant’s being granted such an Associated Option pursuant to which: (i) the number of shares the optionee may purchase shall initially be equal to the number of performance units or performance shares conditionally granted by the Award, (ii) such number of shares shall be
reduced on a one-share-for-one-unit or share basis to the extent that the Committee determines, pursuant to Section 8(b)(6) hereof, to pay to the participant or the
participant’s beneficiaries the performance units or performance shares conditionally granted
pursuant to the Award, and (iii) the Associated Option shall be cancelable in the discretion
of the Committee, without the consent of the participant, under the conditions and to the
extent specified herein and in Section 8(b)(6) hereof.

     If no amount is payable in respect of the conditionally granted performance units or
performance shares, the Award and such performance units or performance shares shall be
deemed to have been canceled, forfeited and surrendered, and the Associated Option, if any,
shall continue in effect in accordance with its terms. If any amount is payable in respect
of the performance units or performance shares and such units or shares were granted in
conjunction with an Associated Option, the Committee shall, within 30 days after the
determination of the Committee referred to in the first sentence of Section 8(b)(6),
determine, in its sole discretion, either:

     (A) to cancel in full the Associated Option, in which event the value of the
performance units or performance shares payable pursuant to Sections 8(b)(5) and (6)
shall be paid or the performance shares shall be distributed;

     (B) to cancel in full the performance units or performance shares, in which
event no amount shall be paid to the participant in respect thereof and no shares
shall be distributed but the Associated Option shall continue in effect in accordance
with its terms; or

     (C) to cancel some, but not all, of the performance units or performance shares,
in which event the value of the performance units payable pursuant to Sections 8(b)(5)
and (6) which have not been canceled shall be paid or the performance shares shall be
distributed and the Associated Option shall be canceled with respect to that number of shares equal to the number of conditionally granted performance units or performance shares that remain payable.

10

 

     Any action taken by the Committee pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be uniform
with respect to all Awards having the same award period. If the Committee takes no such
action, it shall be deemed to have determined to cancel in full the Award in accordance with
clause (B) above.

     (12) Compliance with Section 409A of the Code: Notwithstanding any provision of the
Plan to the contrary, in the event any Award under this Section 8 constitutes or provides for
a deferral of compensation within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, the Award shall
comply in all respects with the applicable requirements of Section 409A of the Code; the
Performance Share Agreement or Performance Unit Agreement, as the case may be, shall include
all provisions required for the Award to comply with the applicable requirements of Section
409A of the Code; and those provisions of the Performance Share Agreement or Performance Unit
Agreement, as the case may be, shall be deemed to constitute provisions of the Plan.

     9. Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units: An Award of restricted stock under the Plan
shall consist of a grant of shares of Common Stock of the Issuer, the grant, issuance, retention
and/or vesting of which is subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter provided. An Award of a
restricted stock unit to a participant will entitle the participant to receive a specified number
of shares of Common Stock or cash, as determined by the Committee, if the objectives specified in
the Award, if any, are achieved and the other terms and conditions thereof are satisfied. Each
Award shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:

     (a) Grant of Awards: The Committee shall (i) select the officers and key employees to whom
restricted stock or restricted stock units may from time to time be granted, (ii) determine the
number of shares to be covered by each Award granted, (iii) determine the terms and conditions (not
inconsistent with the Plan) of any Award granted hereunder, and (iv) prescribe the form of the
agreement, legend or other instrument necessary or advisable in the administration of Awards under
the Plan.

     (b) Terms and Conditions of Awards: Any Award granted under this Section 9 shall be evidenced
by a Restricted Stock Agreement or Restricted Stock Unit Agreement executed by the Issuer and the
participant, in such form as the Committee shall approve, which agreement shall be subject to the
following terms and conditions and shall contain such additional terms and conditions not
inconsistent with the Plan as the Committee shall prescribe:

     (1) Number of Shares Subject to an Award: The agreement shall specify the number of shares of Common Stock or the number of restricted stock units subject to the Award.

     (2) Restriction Period: The period of restriction applicable to each Award (the
“Restriction Period”) shall be established by the Committee but may not be less than one
year, unless the Committee determines otherwise. The Restriction Period applicable to each
Award shall commence on the award date.

     (3) Consideration: Each participant, as consideration for the grant of an Award, shall
remain in the continuous employ of the Company for at least one year from the date of the
granting of such Award, or as otherwise determined by the Committee, and the participant’s
right to any shares of restricted stock or restricted stock units covered by such an Award
shall be forfeited if the participant does not remain in the continuous employ of the Company
for at least one year from the date of the granting of the Award, except as otherwise
determined by the Committee.

     (4) Restriction Criteria: The Committee shall establish the criteria upon which the
Restriction Period shall be based. Restrictions shall be based upon either or both of (i)
the continued employment of the participant or (ii) the attainment of one or more Qualifying
Performance Criteria.

     (c) Terms and Conditions of Restrictions and Forfeitures: The restricted stock or restricted
stock units awarded pursuant to the Plan shall be subject to the following restrictions and
conditions:

     (1) During the Restriction Period, the participant will not be permitted to sell,
transfer, pledge or assign the Award made under this Section 9.

     (2) Except as provided in Section 9(c)(1), or as the Committee may otherwise determine,
a participant holding restricted stock shall have all of the rights of a stockholder of the
Issuer, including the right to vote the shares and receive dividends and other distributions
provided that distributions in the form of stock shall be subject to the same restrictions as
the underlying restricted stock. A participant holding restricted stock units shall have
none of the rights of a stockholder of the Issuer during the Restriction Period.

11

 

     (3) Unless the Committee shall expressly otherwise provide in the agreement relating to
an Award made under this Section 9, in the event of a participant’s Retirement, death or
Disability prior to the end of the Restriction Period for a participant who has satisfied the
one year employment requirement of Section 9(b)(3), all time-based restrictions imposed under
such Award shall immediately lapse, but such Award shall continue to be subject to the
satisfaction of any targets for Qualifying Performance Criteria set forth in the agreement
relating to such Award.

     (4) Unless the Committee shall expressly otherwise provide in the agreement relating to
an Award made under this Section 9, if during the Restriction Period a participant terminates
employment with the Company for any reason other than Retirement, death or Disability, the shares covered by a restricted stock Award that are not already vested shall be canceled and
forfeited and will be deemed to be reacquired by the Issuer and any restricted stock units
still subject to restriction shall be forfeited by the participant.

     (5) In cases of special circumstances as determined by the Committee, the Committee may,
in its sole discretion when it finds that such an action would be in the best interests of
the Company, accelerate or waive in whole or in part any or all remaining time-based
restrictions with respect to all or part of a participant’s restricted stock or restricted
stock units.

     (6) In the event that the participant fails promptly to pay or make satisfactory
arrangements as to the Withholding Taxes as provided in Section 13, (i) all shares of
restricted stock still subject to restriction shall be forfeited by the participant and will
be deemed to be reacquired by the Company; and (ii) all restricted stock units still subject
to restriction shall be forfeited by the participant.

     (7) A participant may, at any time prior to the expiration of the Restriction Period,
waive all rights to receive all or some of the shares covered by or corresponding to an Award
by delivering to the Company a written notice of such waiver.

     (8) Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 9, the Committee may adopt
rules which would permit a gift by a participant holding restricted stock or the benefits of
a restricted stock unit, to members of the participant’s immediate family (spouse, parents,
children, stepchildren, grandchildren or legal dependants) or to a trust whose beneficiary or
beneficiaries shall be either such a person or persons or the participant.

     (9) Any attempt to dispose of an Award under this Section 9 in a manner contrary to the
restrictions shall be ineffective.

     (d) Compliance with Section 409A of the Code Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to
the contrary, in the event any Award under this Section 9 constitutes or provides for a deferral of
compensation within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, the Award shall comply in all respects
with the applicable requirements of Section 409A of the Code; the Restricted Stock Agreement or
Restricted Stock Unit Agreement, as the case may be, shall include all provisions required for the
Award to comply with the applicable requirements of Section 409A of the Code; and those provisions
of the Restricted Stock Agreement or Restricted Stock Unit Agreement, as the case may be, shall be
deemed to constitute provisions of the Plan.

     10. Forfeiture of Awards; Recapture of Benefits: The Committee may, in its discretion,
provide in an agreement evidencing any Award that, in the event that the participant engages,
within a specified period after termination of employment, in certain activity specified by the
Committee that is deemed detrimental to the interests of the Company (including, but not limited
to, the breach of any non-solicitation and/or non-compete agreements with the Company), the
participant will forfeit all rights under any Awards that remain outstanding as of the time of such
act and will return to the Company an amount of shares of Common Stock with a Fair Market Value
(determined as of the date such shares are returned) or, in the case of stock appreciation rights,
performance units or restricted stock units that are settled in cash, an amount of cash, equal to
the amount of any gain realized upon the exercise of or lapsing of restrictions on any Award that
occurred within a specified time period.

     11. Determination of Breach of Conditions: The determination of the Committee as to whether
an event has occurred resulting in a forfeiture or a termination of an Award or any reduction of
the Company’s obligations in accordance with the provisions of the Plan shall be conclusive.

12

 

     12. Adjustment of and Changes in the Common Stock:

     (a) Effect of Outstanding Awards. The existence of outstanding Awards 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
Common Stock or other securities or subscription rights thereto, or any issuance of bonds,
debentures, preferred or prior preference stock ahead of or affecting the Common Stock 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, (i) the issuance by the Company of Common 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 therefor, or upon conversion of shares
or obligations to the Company convertible into such shares or other securities, (ii) the payment of
a dividend in property other than shares of Common Stock, or (iii) 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 of Common Stock subject to stock
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 or appropriate.

     (b) Adjustments. If the outstanding Common Stock or other securities of the Company, or both,
for which an Award is then exercisable or as to which an 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, reorganization, corporate
separation or division (including, but not limited to, a split-up, spin-off, split-off or
distribution to Company stockholders other than a normal cash dividend) or any similar event
affecting the Common Stock or other securities of the Company, 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 of Common Stock or other securities
without changing the aggregate exercise or settlement price.

     (c) Fractional Shares. No right to purchase fractional shares shall result from any
adjustment in stock options or stock appreciation rights pursuant to this Section 12. In case of
any such adjustment, the shares subject to the stock option or stock appreciation right shall be
rounded down to the nearest whole share.

     (d) Assumption of Awards. Any other provision hereof to the contrary notwithstanding (except
for Section 12(a)), in the event the Company is a party to a merger or other reorganization,
outstanding Awards shall be subject to the agreement of merger or reorganization. Such agreement
may provide, without limitation, for the assumption of outstanding Awards by the surviving
corporation or its parent, for their continuation by the Company (if it is the surviving
corporation), for accelerated vesting and accelerated expiration, or for settlement in cash.

     13. Taxes:

     (a) Each participant shall, no later than the Tax Date (as defined below), pay to the Company,
or make arrangements satisfactory to the Committee regarding payment of, any Withholding Tax (as
defined below) with respect to an Award, and the Company shall, to the extent permitted by law,
have the right to deduct such amount from any payment of any kind otherwise due to the participant.
The Company shall also have the right to retain or sell without notice, or to demand surrender of,
shares of Common Stock in value sufficient to cover the amount of any Withholding Tax, and to make
payment (or to reimburse itself for payment made) to the appropriate taxing authority of an amount
in cash equal to the amount of such Withholding Tax, remitting any balance to the participant. For
purposes of this paragraph, the value of shares of Common Stock so retained or surrendered shall be
the average of the high and low sales prices per share on the New York Stock Exchange composite
tape on the date that the amount of the Withholding Tax is to be determined (the “Tax Date”) and
the value of shares of Common Stock so sold shall be the actual net sales price per share (after
deduction of commissions) received by the Company.

     (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the stock options have been transferred, the optionee
shall provide the Company with funds sufficient to pay such Withholding Tax. If such optionee does
not satisfy the optionee’s tax payment obligation and the stock options have been transferred, the
transferee may provide the funds sufficient to enable the Company to pay such taxes. However, if
the stock options have been transferred, the Company shall have no right to retain or sell without
notice, or to demand surrender from the transferee of, shares of Common Stock in order to pay such
Withholding Tax.

13

 

     (c) The term “Withholding Tax” means the minimum required withholding amount applicable to the
participant, including federal, state and local income taxes, Federal Insurance Contribution Act
taxes, social insurance contributions, payroll tax, payment on account and any other governmental
impost or levy.

     (d) The participant shall be entitled to satisfy the obligation to pay any Withholding Tax, in
whole or in part, by providing the Company with funds sufficient to enable the Company to pay such
Withholding Tax or, unless the Committee determines otherwise, by requiring the Company to retain
or to accept upon delivery thereof by the participant shares of Common Stock held by the
participant for more than six months having a Fair Market Value sufficient to cover the amount of
such Withholding Tax. Each election by a participant to have shares retained or to deliver shares
for this purpose shall be subject to the following restrictions: (i) the election must be in
writing and be made on or prior to the Tax Date; (ii) the election must be irrevocable; and (iii)
the election shall be subject to the disapproval of the Committee.

     14. Change in Control.

     (a) Unless the Committee shall otherwise expressly provide in the agreement relating to an
Award, in the event an optionee’s employment with the Company terminates pursuant to a Qualifying
Termination (as defined below) during the three (3) year period following a Change in Control of
the Issuer (as defined below):

     (1) all outstanding options shall become immediately fully vested and exercisable (to
the extent not yet vested and exercisable as of the date of the Qualifying Termination); and

     (2) the Restriction Period applicable to all outstanding Awards of restricted stock and
restricted stock units shall immediately expire and all restrictions imposed under such
Awards shall immediately lapse.

     (b) Unless the Committee shall otherwise expressly provide in the agreement relating to an
Award, if the Company undergoes a Change in Control during the award period applicable to an Award
of performance shares or performance units, the number of shares or units deemed earned shall be
the greater of (i) the target number of shares or units specified in the participant’s Award
agreement or (ii) the number of shares or units that would have been earned by applying the
Qualifying Performance Criteria specified in the Award agreement to the Company’s actual
performance from the beginning of the applicable award period to the date of the Change in Control.

     (c) In addition, in the event of a Change in Control of the Issuer, the Committee may:

     (1) determine that outstanding options shall be assumed by, or replaced with comparable
options by, the surviving corporation (or a parent or subsidiary of the surviving
corporation) and that outstanding Awards shall be converted to similar awards of the
surviving corporation (or a parent or subsidiary of the surviving corporation), or

     (2) take such other actions with respect to outstanding options and other Awards as the
Committee deems appropriate.

     (d) For purposes of this Plan, a Change in Control shall be deemed to have occurred on the
earliest of the following dates:

     (1) The date any person (as defined in Section 14(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) shall have
become the direct or indirect beneficial owner of twenty percent (20%) or more of the then
outstanding common shares of the Issuer;

     (2) The date the stockholders of the Issuer approve a merger or consolidation of the
Issuer with any other corporation other than (i) a merger or consolidation which would result
in the voting securities of the Issuer outstanding immediately prior thereto continuing to
represent at least 75% of the combined voting power of the voting securities of the Issuer or
the surviving entity outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation, or (ii) a
merger or consolidation effected to implement a recapitalization of the Issuer in which no
Person acquires more than 50% of the combined voting power of the Issuer’s then outstanding
securities;

     (3) The date the stockholders of the Issuer approve a plan of complete liquidation of
the Issuer or an agreement for the sale or disposition by the Issuer of all or substantially
all of the Issuer’s assets; or

14

 

     (4) The date there shall have been a change in a majority of the Board of Directors of
the Issuer within a two (2) year period beginning after the effective date of the Plan,
unless the nomination for election by the Issuer’s stockholders of each new director was
approved by the vote of two-thirds of the directors then still in office who were in office
at the beginning of the two (2) year period.

     (e) For purposes of this Plan provision, a Qualifying Termination shall be deemed to have
occurred under the following circumstances:

     (1) A Company-initiated termination for reasons other than the employee’s death,
Disability, resignation without good cause, willful misconduct or activity deemed detrimental
to the interests of the Company, provided the participant executes a general release and,
where applicable, a non-solicitation and/or non-compete agreement with the Company;

     (2) The participant resigns with good cause, which includes (i) a substantial adverse
alteration in the nature or status of the participant’s responsibilities, (ii) a reduction in
the participant’s base salary or levels of entitlement or participation under any incentive
plan, award program or employee benefit program without the substitution or implementation of
an alternative arrangement of substantially equal value, or (iii) the Company requiring the
participant to relocate to a work location more than fifty (50) miles from the participant’s
work location prior to the Change in Control.

     15. Amendment of the Plan: The Board of Directors may amend or suspend this Plan at any time
and from time to time; provided, however, that the Board of Directors shall submit for stockholder
approval any amendment (other than an amendment pursuant to the adjustment provisions of Section
12) required to be submitted for stockholder approval by law, regulation or applicable stock
exchange requirements or that otherwise would:

     (a) increase the limitations in Section 3;

     (b) reduce the price at which stock options may be granted to below Fair Market Value on the
date of grant;

     (c) reduce the option price of outstanding stock options;

     (d) extend the term of this Plan; or

     (e) change the class of persons eligible to be participants.

In addition, no such amendment or alteration shall be made which would impair the rights of any
participant, without such participant’s consent, under any Award theretofore granted, provided that
no such consent shall be required with respect to any amendment or alteration if the Committee
determines in its sole discretion 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.

     16. Miscellaneous:

     (a) By accepting any benefits under the Plan, each participant and each person claiming under
or through such participant shall be conclusively deemed to have indicated acceptance and
ratification of, and consent to, any action taken or to be taken or made under the Plan by the
Company, the Board, the Committee or any other committee appointed by the Board.

     (b) No participant or any person claiming under or through him shall have any right or
interest, whether vested or otherwise, in the Plan or in any Award, contingent or otherwise, unless
and until all of the terms, conditions and provisions of the Plan and the Agreement that affect
such participant or such other person shall have been complied with.

     (c) Neither the adoption of the Plan nor its operation shall in any way affect the rights and
powers of the Company to dismiss or discharge any employee at any time.

     17. Term of the Plan: This Plan was approved by the Board of Directors of the Issuer on
February 17, 2006 and will become effective on May 1, 2006, subject to the affirmative vote of the
holders of a majority of the votes cast at the 2006 annual

15

 

meeting of stockholders. The Plan shall expire on May 31, 2011, unless suspended or
discontinued earlier by action of the Board of Directors. The expiration of the Plan, however,
shall not affect the rights of participants under Awards theretofore granted to them, and all
Awards shall continue in force and operation after termination of the Plan except as they may lapse
or be terminated by their own terms and conditions.

     18. Employees Based Outside of the United States: Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan
to the contrary, in order to foster and promote achievement of the purposes of the Plan or to
comply with provisions of laws in other countries in which the Company operates or has Employees,
the Committee, in its sole discretion, shall have the power and authority to (i) determine which
employees employed outside the United States are eligible to participate in the Plan, (ii) modify
the terms and conditions of Awards granted to employees who are employed outside the United States,
(iii) establish subplans, modified option exercise procedures and other terms and procedures to the
extent such actions may be necessary or advisable, and (iv) grant to employees employed in
countries wherein the granting of stock options is impossible or impracticable, as determined by
the Committee, stock appreciation rights with terms and conditions that, to the fullest extent
possible, are substantially identical to the stock options granted hereunder; provided, however,
that in no event shall the exercise price of an option or stock appreciation right be less than the
Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the date of grant and provided, further, that in no
event shall an option or stock appreciation right be exercisable after the expiration of ten years
from the date of grant thereof.

     19. Grants in Connection with Corporate Transactions and Otherwise: Nothing contained in
this Plan shall be construed to (i) limit the right of the Committee to assume the equity-based
awards or make substitute Awards under this Plan to an employee of another corporation who becomes
an employee of the Company by reason of a corporate merger, consolidation, acquisition of stock or
property, reorganization or liquidation involving the Company in substitution for an award granted
by such corporation, or (ii) limit the right of the Company to grant options or make other awards
outside of this Plan. The terms and conditions of any substitute or assumed Awards may vary from
the terms and conditions required by the Plan. Any substitute or assumed Awards that are made
pursuant to this Section 19 shall not count against the limitations provided under Section 3.

     20. Governing Law: The validity, construction, interpretation and effect of the Plan and
agreements issued under the Plan shall be governed and construed by and determined in accordance
with the laws of the State of Indiana, without giving effect to the conflict of laws provisions
thereof. The Committee may provide that any dispute as to any Award shall be presented and
determined in such forum as the Committee may specify, including through binding arbitration.

     21. Unfunded Plan: Insofar as it provides for Awards, the Plan shall be unfunded. Although
bookkeeping accounts may be established with respect to participants who are granted Awards under
this Plan, any such accounts will be used merely as a bookkeeping convenience. The Company shall
not be required to segregate or earmark any cash or other property which may at any time be
represented by Awards, nor shall this Plan be construed as providing for such segregation or
earmarking, nor shall the Company or the Committee be deemed to be a trustee of stock or cash to be
awarded under the Plan.

     22. Compliance with Other Laws and Regulations: This Plan, the grant and exercise of Awards
hereunder, and the obligation of the Issuer to sell, issue or deliver shares of Common Stock under
such Awards, shall be subject to all applicable federal, state and local laws, rules and
regulations and to such approvals by any governmental or regulatory agency as may be required. The
Issuer shall not be required to register in a participant’s name or deliver any shares of Common
Stock 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. To the extent the Issuer is unable to or the
Committee deems it infeasible to obtain authority from any regulatory body having jurisdiction,
which authority is deemed by the Issuer’s counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale
of any shares of Common Stock hereunder, the Issuer shall be relieved of any liability with respect
to the failure to issue or sell such shares as to which such requisite authority shall not have
been obtained. No stock option shall be exercisable and no shares of Common Stock shall be issued
and/or transferable under any other Award unless a registration statement with respect to the
shares underlying such stock option is effective and current or the Issuer has determined that such
registration is unnecessary.

     23. Liability of Issuer: The Issuer shall not be liable to a participant or other persons as
to (a) the non-issuance or sale of shares of Common Stock as to which the Issuer has been unable to
obtain from any regulatory body having jurisdiction the authority deemed by the Issuer’s counsel to
be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any shares hereunder; and (b) any tax consequence
expected, but not realized, by any participant or other person due to the receipt, exercise or
settlement of any Award granted hereunder.

     24. Prior Plan: Following the effective date of this Plan, the Company shall not make any
additional awards under the Zimmer Holdings, Inc. 2001 Stock Incentive Plan.

ZIMMER HOLDINGS, INC.

2006 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN

NONQUALIFlED STOCK OPTION

     Zimmer Holdings, Inc (the “Company”) hereby grants pursuant to the terms of the heretofore
designated stock option plan (the “Plan”) to the heretofore named employee (the “Optionee”), as a
matter of separate inducement and agreement in connection with her/his employment, and not as or in
lieu of any salary or other compensation for her/his services, and upon the terms and conditions
set forth below, the option to purchase the number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of the
common stock of Zimmer Holdings, Inc., par value $.01 per share (“Common Stock”), heretofore set
forth (this “Option”) on or before the expiration of ten years from the date hereof (the
“Expiration Date”) at the aforementioned exercise price per share. The Board of Directors of the
Company (the “Board”) has authorized the Compensation and Management Development Committee of the
Board (the “Committee”) to administer the Plan.

     This Option is granted upon and subject to the following terms and conditions:

     1. No Option may be exercised hereunder for the purchase of shares unless the Optionee shall
have remained in the continuous employ of the Company or of one of its subsidiaries for one year
following the date hereof. Thereafter, provided that the Optionee shall at the time of such
exercise, except as specifically set forth herein to the contrary, been in the employ of the
Company or of one of its subsidiaries, this Option may from time to time prior to the Expiration
Date be exercised in the manner hereinafter set forth, and this Option may be exercised (i) only to
the extent of 25 percent of the number of shares to which this Option applies on or after the first
anniversary and prior to the second anniversary of the date of grant hereof, (ii) only to the
extent of 50 percent of the number of shares to which this Option applies on or after the second
anniversary and prior to the third anniversary of the date of grant hereof, (iii) only to the
extent of 75 percent of the number of shares to which this Option applies on or after the third
anniversary and prior to the fourth anniversary of the date of grant hereof; and (iv) in its
entirety on or after the fourth anniversary of the date of grant hereof.

 

 

     2. This Option hereby granted may be exercised, in whole or in part in accordance with the
vesting schedule set forth in Section 1 above, by the delivery of an exercise notice to the Company
or the Company’s designated agent. The exercise notice will be effective upon receipt by the
appropriate person at the Company or the Company’s agent and upon payment of the exercise price,
any fees and any other amounts due to cover the withholding taxes, payroll taxes and similar-type
payments as described herein. Such exercise notice (which, in the Company’s discretion, may be, or
may be required to be, given by electronic, telefax or other specified means) shall specify the
number of shares with respect to which this Option is being exercised and such other
representations and agreements as may be required by the Company. In the event the specified
Expiration Date falls on a day which is not a regular business day at the Company’s executive
office in Warsaw, Indiana, then such written notification must be received on or before the last
regular business day prior to such Expiration Date. Payment is to be made by certified personal
check, or bank draft, by payment through a broker in accordance with procedures permitted by
Regulation T of the Federal Reserve Board, or by delivery of a certificate or certificates for
shares of Common Stock owned by the Optionee for at least six months having a fair market value at
the date of exercise equal to the purchase price for such shares, or in any combination of the
foregoing; provided, however, that payment in shares of Common Stock will not be permitted unless
at least 100 shares of Common Stock are required and delivered for such purpose. Any stock
certificate or certificates so delivered must be endorsed, or accompanied by an appropriate stock
power, to the order of Zimmer Holdings, Inc., with the signature guaranteed by a bank or trust
company or by a member firm of the New York Stock Exchange. No shares shall be sold or delivered
hereunder until full payment for such shares has been made. At its discretion, the Committee may
modify or suspend any method for the exercise of this Option. The Optionee shall have the rights
of a shareholder only with respect to shares of stock for which certificates have been issued to
her/him.

     3. The Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any certificate or certificates for
shares of its Common Stock purchased upon the exercise of any part of this Option prior to (i) the
admission of such shares to listing on any stock exchange on which the stock may then be listed,
(ii) the completion of any registration or other qualification of such shares under any state or
federal law or rulings or regulations of any governmental regulatory body, (iii) the obtaining of
any consent or approval or other clearance from any governmental agency, which the Company shall,
in its sole discretion, determine to be necessary or advisable, and (iv) the payment to the
Company, upon its demand, of any amount requested by the Company for the purpose of satisfying its
withholding obligation, if any, with respect to federal, state or local income or FICA or earnings
tax or any other applicable tax assessment (plus interest or penalties thereon, if any, caused by a
delay in making such payment) incurred by reason of the exercise of this Option or the transfer of
shares thereupon (the “Withholding Tax Obligation”). The Optionee may satisfy the Withholding Tax
Obligation by authorizing the Company or its agent to withhold an appropriate number of shares
being issued on exercise; provided, however, that the value of the shares withheld shall not exceed
the Company’s minimum required Withholding Tax Obligation with respect to the exercise of this
Option.

     4. This Option is not transferable by the Optionee otherwise than by will or by the laws of
descent and distribution, and is exercisable, during the life of the Optionee, only by her/him.

     5. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof:

          (a) If the Optionee shall retire or cease to be employed by the Company or any of its
subsidiaries for any reason (other than death or disability entitling the Optionee to receive
payments under a disability pay plan of the Company or any of its subsidiaries) after the Optionee
shall have been continuously so employed for one year from the aforementioned date of grant, the
Optionee may exercise this Option only to the extent that the Optionee was otherwise entitled to
exercise it at the time of such retirement or cessation of employment with the Company or any of
its subsidiaries, but in no event after (i) the date that is ten years next succeeding the date
this Option was granted, in the case of retirement or cessation of employment with the Company or
any of its subsidiaries on or after the Optionee’s 65th birthday, or on or after the Optionee’s
55th birthday after having completed 10 years of service with the Company or any of its
subsidiaries, or on or after the date the sum of the Optionee’s age plus years of service, when
rounded up to the next highest number, equals at least 70 and the Optionee has completed ten years
of service with the Company or any of its subsidiaries and the Optionee’s employment terminates for
any reason other than death, disability, resignation, willful misconduct, or activity deemed
detrimental to the interest of the Company and, where applicable, the Optionee has executed a
general release, a covenant not to compete and/or a covenant not to solicit as required by the
Company, or (ii) the date that is three months next succeeding retirement or cessation of
employment, in the case of any other retirement or cessation of employment with the Company or any
of its subsidiaries.

          (b) Whether military or government service or other bona fide leave of absence shall
constitute termination of employment for the purpose of this Option shall be determined in each
case by the Committee in its sole discretion.

          (c) If the Optionee has been continuously employed by the Company or one of its subsidiaries
for one year after the granting of this Option and retires or ceases to be so employed by reason of
disability entitling such Optionee to receive payments under a disability pay plan of the Company
or a subsidiary, the Optionee shall be treated as though he/she remained in the employ of the
Company or a subsidiary until the earlier of (i) cessation of payments under the disability pay
plan, (ii) death, or (iii) attainment of 65th birthday.

          (d) Except as provided in section 4, in the event of the death of the Optionee while in the
employ of the Company or of any of its subsidiaries or within whichever period after retirement or
cessation of employment of the Optionee specified in subparagraphs (a) and (c) is applicable, and
after he/she shall have been continuously so employed for one year after the granting

2

 

of her/his Option, this Option theretofore granted to her/him shall be exercisable by the
executors, administrators, legatees or distributees of her/his estate, as the case may be, only to
the extent that the Optionee would have been entitled to exercise it if the Optionee were then
living, subject to subparagraph (e) herein, but in the case of the death of any Optionee after
retirement or cessation of employment in no event after the later of (i) the date twelve months
next succeeding such death and (ii) the last day of the period after Retirement or other cessation
of employment of the Optionee specified in subparagraphs (a)(i) or (a)(ii) and provided, in any
case, not after the Expiration Date.

          In the event this Option is exercised by the executors, administrators, legatees or
distributees of the estate of the Optionee, the Company shall be under no obligation to issue stock
hereunder unless and until the Company is satisfied that the person or persons exercising this
Option are the duly appointed legal representatives of the Optionee’s estate or the proper legatees
or distributees thereof.

          (e) The provisions of section 1 hereof restricting the percentage of shares of an Option
grant which can be exercised prior to the fourth anniversary of the date of such grant shall not
apply if (i) the Optionee has reached age 60; (ii) the Optionee dies while in the employ of the
Company or any of its subsidiaries; (iii) the Optionee shall have retired or ceased to be employed
by the Company or any of its subsidiaries (1) on or after the Optionee’s 65th birthday, or (2) on
or after the Optionee’s 55th birthday after having completed 10 years of service with the Company
or any of its subsidiaries, or (3) on or after the date the sum of the Optionee’s age plus years of
service, when rounded up to the next highest number, equals at least 70 and the Optionee has
completed ten years of service with the Company or any of its subsidiaries and the Optionee’s
employment terminates for any reason other than death, resignation, willful misconduct, or activity
deemed detrimental to the interest of the Company and, where applicable, the Optionee has executed
a general release, a non-solicitation and/or non-compete agreement with the Company as required by
the Company; or (iv) the Optionee’s employment terminates for any reason other than death,
resignation, willful misconduct, or activity deemed detrimental to the interest of the Company
provided the Optionee executes a general release and, where applicable, a non-solicitation and/or
non-compete agreement with the Company as required by the Company. For the purposes of this
Option, service with Bristol-Myers Squibb Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates before the
effective date of the Plan shall be included as service with the Company.

     6. Under certain circumstances, if the Optionee’s employment with the Company or one of its
subsidiaries terminates during the three year period following a change in control of the Company,
this Option may become fully vested and exercisable. Please refer to the Plan for more
information.

     7. If prior to the Expiration Date changes occur in the outstanding Common Stock by reason of
stock dividends, recapitalization, mergers, consolidations, stock splits, combinations or exchanges
of shares and the like, the exercise price per share and the number and class of shares subject to
this Option shall be appropriately adjusted by the Committee, whose determination shall be
conclusive. If as a result of any adjustment under this paragraph any Optionee should become
entitled to a fractional share of stock, the Optionee shall have the right to purchase only the
adjusted number of full shares and no payment or other adjustment will be made with respect to the
fractional share so disregarded.

     8. Until the Optionee is advised otherwise by the Committee, all notices and other
correspondence with respect to this Option will be effective upon receipt at the following address:

Compensation and Management Development Committee of the Board of Directors of Zimmer Holdings, Inc.

Zimmer Holdings, Inc.

345 East Main Street

Post Office Box 708

Warsaw, Indiana 46581-0708

     9. Except as explicitly provided in this agreement, this agreement will not confer any rights
upon the Optionee, including any right with respect to continuation of employment by the Company or
any of its subsidiaries or any right to future awards under the Plan. In no event shall the value,
at any time, of this agreement, the Common Stock covered by this agreement or any other benefit
provided under this agreement be included as compensation or earnings for purposes of any other
compensation, retirement, or benefit plan offered to employees of the Company or its subsidiaries
unless otherwise specifically provided for in such plan.

     10. As a condition of receiving the Option, the Optionee has entered into or reaffirmed a
non-solicitation and/or non-compete agreement with the Company. The Optionee understands and
agrees that if he or she violates any provision of such agreement, the Committee may require the
Optionee to forfeit his or her right to any unexercised portion of the Option, even if vested, and,
to the extent any portion of the Option has previously been exercised, the Committee may require
the Optionee to return to the Company any shares of Common Stock received by the Optionee upon such
exercise or any cash proceeds received by the Optionee upon the sale of any such shares.

     11. The Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to the
Option granted under and participation in the Plan or future options that may be granted under the
Plan by electronic means or to request the Optionee’s consent to participate in the Plan by
electronic means. The Optionee hereby consents to receive such documents by electronic

3

 

delivery and, if requested, to agree to participate in the Plan through an on-line or
electronic system established and maintained by the Company or a third party designated by the
Company.

     12. The Board and the Committee shall have full authority and discretion, subject only to the
express terms of the Plan, to decide all matters relating to the administration and interpretation
of the Plan and this agreement and all such Board and Committee determinations shall be final,
conclusive, and binding upon the Optionee and all interested parties. The terms and conditions set
forth in this agreement are subject in all respects to the terms and conditions of the Plan, as
amended from time to time, which shall be controlling. This agreement contains the entire
understanding of the parties and may not be modified or amended except in writing duly signed by
the parties. The waiver of, or failure to enforce, any provision of this agreement or the Plan by
the Company will not constitute a waiver by the Company of the same provision or right at any other
time or a waiver of any other provision or right. The various provisions of this agreement are
severable and any determination of invalidity or unenforceability of any provision shall have no
effect on the remaining provisions. This agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit
of the successors, assigns, and heirs of the respective parties. The validity and construction of
this agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Indiana.
