	4.  	Administration of the Plan

     The Plan shall be administered by the Committee, consisting of not less than two members
appointed by the Board. The Committee shall be the Compensation Committee of the Board unless the
Board shall appoint another committee to administer the Plan. The Board from time to time may
appoint members previously appointed and may fill vacancies, however caused, in the Committee. In
the absence of the Committee, the full Board may take any and all action with respect to the Plan.

     Subject to the express provisions of the Plan, the Committee shall have the authority to take
any and all actions (including directing the Custodian as to the acquisition of shares) necessary
to implement the Plan and to interpret the Plan, to prescribe, amend and rescind rules and
regulations relating to it, and to make all other determinations necessary or advisable in
administering the Plan. All of such determinations shall be final and binding upon all persons.
The Committee may request advice or assistance or employ such other persons as are necessary for
proper administration of the Plan. The Committee may delegate administration of the Plan to one or
more employees of the Company or any Subsidiary.

	5.  	Eligible Employees

     All employees of the Company or its Subsidiaries shall be eligible to participate in the Plan
as of the first Investment Date coincident with or following commencement of employment, or as soon
as administratively practicable thereafter.

     No director of the Company or of any Subsidiary who is not an employee shall be eligible to
participate in the Plan. No independent contractor who is not an employee shall be eligible to
participate in the Plan.

	6.  	Election to Participate

     Each Eligible Employee may become a Participant by filing with the Committee an Enrollment
Form authorizing specified regular payroll deductions from his or her Compensation. Such regular
payroll deductions shall be subject to a minimum deduction of $10.00 per pay period and a maximum
deduction of $100.00 per pay period. All regular payroll deductions shall be credited to the
Payroll Deduction Account that the Company has established in the name of the Participant. The
Committee may establish other limits on the amounts of payroll deductions and may change the
payroll deduction limits from time to time.

     Original Enrollment Forms for a quarterly period must be filed before the Investment Date as
prescribed by the Committee. Failure to file an Enrollment Form within the prescribed filing period
shall preclude the Eligible Employee from participation until the next Investment Date.

     A Participant may cease his or her participation in the Plan at any time. An Eligible
Employee who has ceased to be a Participant may not again become a Participant until the next
Investment Date. Not more than one (1) time during any quarterly period, a Participant may
decrease his or her payroll deduction by filing a new Enrollment Form. The change will be

3

 

effective as of the payroll period following the date of the Participant’s election change
through the remainder of the quarterly period.

	7.  	Method of Purchase and Investment Accounts

     Each Participant having eligible funds in his Payroll Deduction Account on an Investment Date
shall be deemed, without any further action, to have purchased the number of shares (including
fractional shares to three (3) decimal places) which the eligible funds in his Payroll Deduction
Account could purchase at the Purchase Price on that Investment Date. All shares purchased shall
be maintained by the Custodian in a separate Investment Account for each Participant. Unless
otherwise determined by the Committee, expenses incurred in the purchase of such shares shall be
paid by the Company.

	8.  	Stock Purchases

     If directed by the Committee, the Custodian shall acquire shares of Company Stock for
Participants as of each Investment Date from the Company or by purchases on the open market or in
private transactions using total payroll deduction amounts received by the Custodian.

	9.  	Rights as a Shareholder

     A Participant shall have the right at any time to obtain a certificate for the full shares of
Common Stock credited to his Investment Account. A Participant shall have the right at any time to
direct that any full shares in his Investment Account be sold and that the proceeds, less expenses
of sale, be remitted to him. When a Participant ceases to be a Participant, the Participant may
elect to have his shares sold by the Custodian and the proceeds, after selling expenses, remitted
to him or the Participant may elect to have a certificate for the full shares of Common Stock
credited to his Investment Account forwarded to him. Upon any of the foregoing events, Custodian
will sell any fractional shares held in the Participant’s Investment Account and remit the proceeds
of such sale, less selling expenses, and the balance in his Payroll Deduction Account, to the
Participant.

	10.  	Rights Not Transferable

     Rights under the Plan are not transferable by a Participant, except by will or by the laws of
descent and distribution.

	11.  	Change in Capital Structure

     In the event of a stock dividend, spinoff, stock split or combination of shares,
recapitalization or merger in which the Company is the surviving corporation or other change in the
Company’s capital stock (including, but not limited to, the creation or issuance to shareholders
generally of rights, options or warrants for the purchase of common stock or preferred stock of the
Company), the number and kind of shares of stock or securities of the Company to be subject to the
Plan, the maximum number of shares or securities which may be delivered under the Plan, the
purchase price and other relevant provisions shall be appropriately adjusted by the Committee,
whose determination shall be binding on all persons.

4

 

     If the Company is a party to a consolidation or a merger in which the Company is not the
surviving corporation, a transaction that results in the acquisition of substantially all of the
Company’s outstanding stock by a single person or entity, or a sale or transfer of substantially
all of the Company’s assets, the Committee may take such actions with respect to the Plan as the
Committee deems appropriate.

     Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, the Committee may take the foregoing
actions without the consent of any Participant, and the Committee’s determination shall be
conclusive and binding on all persons for all purposes. The processing of transactions under the
Plan may either be curtailed or suspended, at the discretion of the Committee, until the completion
of any stock dividend, stock split, rights offering or other corporate action.

	12.  	Retirement, Termination and Death

     In the event of a Participant’s retirement, termination of active employment, or death, the
amount in his Payroll Deduction Account shall be refunded to him, certificates will be issued for
full shares held in his Investment Account and any fractional shares held in his Investment Account
will be sold, with the proceeds of such sale, less selling expenses, remitted to him. In the event
of his death, the amount in his Payroll Deduction Account and all shares in his Investment Account
and any proceeds from the sale of fractional shares shall be delivered to the beneficiary
designated by the Participant in a writing filed with the Company. If no beneficiary has been
designated, or if the designated beneficiary does not survive the Participant, such amounts and all
shares shall be delivered to his estate.

	13.  	Amendment of the Plan

     The Board of Directors may at any time, or from time to time, amend the Plan in any respect;
provided, however, that the shareholders of the Company must approve any amendment that would
materially modify the requirements as to eligibility for participation in the Plan.

	14.  	Termination of the Plan

     The Plan and all rights of employees hereunder shall terminate:

     (a) on the Investment Date that Participants become entitled to purchase a number of shares
greater than the number of reserved shares remaining available for purchase; or

     (b) at any prior date at the discretion of the Board of Directors.

     In the event that the Plan terminates under circumstances described in (a) above, reserved
shares remaining as of the termination date shall be issued to Participants on a pro rata basis.
Upon termination of the Plan, all amounts in an employee’s Payroll Deduction Account that are not
used to purchase Common Stock will be refunded.

	15.  	Effective Date of Plan

     The
Plan was approved by the Board of Directors on January 20, 2005.

5

 

	16.  	Government and Other Regulations

     The Plan, and the grant and exercise of the rights to purchase shares hereunder, and the
Company’s obligation to sell and deliver shares upon the exercise of rights to purchase shares,
shall be subject to all applicable federal, state and foreign laws, rules and regulations, and to
such approvals by any regulatory or government agency as may, in the opinion of counsel for the
Company, be required.

	17.  	Indemnification of Committee

     Service on the Committee shall constitute service as a director of the Company so that members
of the Committee shall be entitled to indemnification and reimbursement as directors of the Company
pursuant to its Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws.

	18.  	Governing Law

     The Plan shall be construed and administered in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth
of Virginia.

	19.  	Liability

     Neither the Company nor the Custodian will be liable for any act performed in good faith or
for any good faith omission to act, including without limitations, any claims of liability arising
out of (i) failure to terminate a Participant’s account, sell shares held in the Plan or make
investments without receipt of proper documentation and instructions and (ii) the price at which
shares are purchased or sold for a Participant’s account, including without limitation pure
fluctuation on market value after purchases or sales are made.

Exhibit 10.1

WEBSTER FINANCIAL CORPORATION

1992 STOCK OPTION PLAN

(as amended and restated effective January 31, 2005)

     Webster Financial Corporation (the “Corporation”) sets forth herein the terms of this 1992
Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”) as follows:

1. PURPOSE.

     The Plan is intended to advance the interests of the Corporation by providing eligible
individuals (as designated pursuant to Section 4 below) with an opportunity to acquire or increase
a proprietary interest in the Corporation, which thereby will create a stronger incentive to expend
maximum effort for the growth and success of the Corporation and its subsidiaries, and will
encourage such eligible individuals to remain in the employ or service of the Corporation or that
of one or more of its subsidiaries. To this end, the Plan provides for the grant of stock options
(“Options”), stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) and restricted Stock to eligible individuals.
Options granted under the Plan may be non-qualified stock options or incentive stock options, as
provided herein. Grants of Options, SARs and restricted Stock under the Plan are referred to
collectively as “Incentive Awards.” The agreements setting out the terms of such grants are
referred to collectively as “Award Agreements.” An Award Agreement may, from time to time, be
issued as a grant notice (“Grant Notice”).

2. ADMINISTRATION.

     (a) Board. The Plan shall be administered by the Board of Directors of the Corporation (the
“Board”), which shall have the full power and authority to take all actions, and to make all
determinations required or provided for under the Plan or any Incentive Award granted or Award
Agreement entered into hereunder and all such other actions and determinations not inconsistent
with the specific terms and provisions of the Plan deemed by the Board to be necessary or
appropriate to the administration of the Plan or any Incentive Award granted or Award Agreement
entered into hereunder. All such actions and determinations shall be by the affirmative vote of a
majority of the members of the Board present at a meeting at which any issue relating to the Plan
is properly raised for consideration or by unanimous consent of the Board executed in writing in
accordance with the Corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws, and with applicable
law. The interpretation and construction by the Board of any provision of the Plan or of
any Incentive Award granted or Award Agreement entered into hereunder shall be final and
conclusive.

1

 

     (b) Committee. The Board may from time to time appoint a committee to administer the Plan
(the “Committee”) consisting of two or more members of the Board who qualify in all respects as
“non-employee directors” as defined in Rule 16b-3 of the Securities and Exchange Commission under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) and “outside directors” for purposes of
Section 162(m) of the Code. The Board, in its sole discretion, may provide that the role of the
Committee shall be limited to making recommendations to the Board concerning any determinations to
be made and actions to be taken by the Board pursuant to or with respect to the Plan, or the Board
may delegate to the Committee such powers and authorities related to the administration of the
Plan, as set forth in Section 2(a) above, as the Board shall determine, consistent with the
Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws of the Corporation and applicable law. The Board may
remove members, add members, and fill vacancies on the Committee from time to time, all in
accordance with the Corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws, and with applicable
law. The majority vote of the Committee, or acts reduced to or approved in writing by a majority
of the members of the Committee, shall be the valid acts of the Committee.

     (c) No Liability. No member of the Board or of the Committee shall be liable for any action
or determination made in good faith with respect to the Plan or any Incentive Award granted or
Award Agreement entered into hereunder.

     (d) Delegation to the Committee. In the event that the Plan or any Incentive Award granted or
Award Agreement entered into hereunder provides for any action to be taken by or determination to
be made by the Board, such action may be taken by or such determination may be made by the
Committee if the power and authority to do so has been delegated to the Committee by the Board as
provided for in Section 2(b) above. Unless otherwise expressly determined by the Board, any such
action or determination by the Committee shall be final and conclusive.

3. STOCK.

     The stock that may be issued pursuant to Incentive Awards granted under the Plan shall be
shares of Common Stock, par value $.01 per share, of the Corporation (the “Stock”), which shares
may be treasury shares or authorized but unissued shares. The number of shares of Stock that may
be issued pursuant to Incentive Awards granted under the Plan shall not exceed in the aggregate
6,661,000 shares, which number of shares is subject to adjustment as hereinafter provided in
Section 17 below. Of the aggregate shares, 2,200,000 resulted from an increase to the prior share
pool, which was approved by the shareholder of the

2

 

Corporation at the Corporation’s 2003 annual meeting. If any Incentive Award expires, terminates, or is terminated for any reason before exercise or vesting in full, the shares
of Stock that were subject to the unexercised, forfeited, expired or terminated portion of such
Incentive Award shall be available for future grants of Incentive Awards under the Plan.

4. ELIGIBILITY.

     (a) Employees and Subsidiary Directors. Incentive Awards may be granted under the Plan to any
full-time employee of the Corporation or any Subsidiary (including any such employee who is an
officer or director of the Corporation or any Subsidiary) or to any directors of a Subsidiary who
are not officers or employees of the Corporation or any Subsidiary (“Subsidiary Directors”) as the
Board shall determine and designate from time to time before expiration or termination of the Plan.
(An eligible individual who receives an Incentive Award under the Plan shall be referred to as a
“Grantee.”) The maximum number of shares of Stock subject to Options or SARs that may be granted
under the Plan to any officer or other employee of the Corporation or any Subsidiary in any
calendar year is 500,000 shares (subject to adjustment as provided in Section 17 hereof). The
maximum number of shares of Stock that can be awarded under the Plan as restricted Stock to any
officer or other employee of the Corporation or any Subsidiary in any calendar year is 100,000
shares (subject to adjustment as provided in Section 17 hereof).

     (b) Non-Employee Directors. Effective April 26, 2001, directors of the Corporation who are not
officers or other salaried employees of the Corporation or any Subsidiary thereof (“Non-Employee
Directors”) shall be eligible to become a Grantee under the Plan.

     An individual may hold more than one Incentive Award, subject to such restrictions as are
provided herein.

5. EFFECTIVE DATE AND TERM OF THE PLAN.

     (a) Effective Date. The Plan was effective as of March 23, 1992. The Plan was restated
effective April 26, 2001. The Plan now is amended and restated effective January 31, 2005, and
shall be applicable to Incentive Awards granted on or after that date.

     (b) Term. The Plan shall terminate on March 20, 2013.

3

 

6. GRANT OF OPTIONS AND SHARES OF RESTRICTED STOCK.

     (a) Options. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, the Board may, at any time and
from time to time, before the date of termination of the Plan, award to a Grantee Options to
purchase such number of shares of the Stock on such terms and conditions as the Board may determine, including any terms or conditions which may be
necessary to qualify such Options as incentive stock options (“Incentive Stock Options) within the
meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the corresponding
provision of any subsequently enacted tax statute (the “Code”). The date on which the Board
approves the grant of an Option shall be considered the date on which such Option is granted. No
Option may be exercisable after the date of grant prior to the completion of a minimum of one year
of service for the Corporation or a Subsidiary from the date of such grant to the Grantee, unless
the Board provides that such service will not be required in the case of death or disability of the
Grantee, and, provided, further, that this service requirement applies solely with respect to
options granted by reason of the 2,200,000 increase in shares of Stock referenced in Section 3.
The Board shall account for which Options were granted from the increased shares in its sole and
complete discretion.

     (b) Restricted Stock Awards. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, the Board may,
at any time and from time to time, before the date of termination of the Plan, award to a Grantee
shares of restricted Stock, subject to (i) payment by the Grantee of not less than the par value of
such stock and (ii) the attainment of such performance objectives, if any, and the completion of
such service requirements, if any, as the Board shall determine and specify as a condition to
making such grant. No restricted Stock award may be issued prior to the completion of a minimum of
one year of service for the Corporation or a Subsidiary from the date of such grant to the Grantee,
unless the Board provides that such service will not be required in the case of death or disability
of the Grantee, and, provided, further, that this service requirement applies solely with respect
to restricted Stock awards granted by reason of the 2,200,000 increase in shares of Stock
referenced in Section 3. The Board shall account for which restricted Stock awards were granted
from the increased shares in its sole and complete discretion.

     Each grant of restricted Stock shall be effected by the execution of an Award Agreement
setting out the terms and conditions applicable thereto and by the issuance of shares of restricted
Stock. Any applicable performance objectives shall be established in writing by the Board before
the ninetieth day of the year in which the grant of restricted Stock is made and while the outcome
is substantially uncertain. Performance objectives shall be based on one or more of the following
criteria: the Corporation’s Stock price, income, operating profit, assets and liabilities,
stockholders equity, market share, operating revenue, operating expenses, financial ratings by
outside agencies, earnings per share or return on assets, equity or

4

 

investments. Performance objectives may include positive results, maintaining the status quo or limiting economic losses.
Upon attainment of the specified performance objectives and vesting requirements (or, to the extent
specified by the Board, partial attainment of such objectives and requirements), the Grantee shall
be entitled to shares of Stock specified in the grant (or the portion of such shares
earned by partial attainment of the objectives and requirements, as applicable) free of
restrictions, except as set out in Section 15. Upon the failure of the Grantee to pay the price
specified for the shares within the time set by the Board at the time of the grant or upon the
expiration of the specified period for attaining performance objectives without such objectives
having been achieved or upon termination of the Grantee’s employment without the Grantee having
satisfied the service requirement specified at the time of grant, except as shall otherwise have
been specified in the Award Agreement at the time of grant or in an amendment thereto, the shares
of restricted Stock (or appropriate portion thereof) shall be forfeited and shall again be
available for regrant under the terms of the Plan. The Board may require that the certificates
evidencing the grant of shares of restricted Stock hereunder be held by an officer of the
Corporation until such restrictions have expired. The Board may also cause a legend to be placed
on such certificates making appropriate reference to the restrictions to which the shares are
subject. Unless the Board otherwise provides in an Award Agreement, Grantees of restricted Stock
shall have the right to vote such Stock and the right to receive any dividends declared or paid
with respect to such Stock. The Board may provide that any dividends paid on restricted Stock must
be reinvested in shares of Stock, which may or may not be subject to the same vesting conditions
and restrictions applicable to such restricted Stock. All distributions, if any, received by a
Grantee with respect to restricted Stock as a result of any stock split, stock dividend,
combination of shares, or other similar transaction shall be subject to the restrictions applicable
to the original grant.

     Of the increase in Incentive Awards by 2,200,000 shares of Stock referenced in Section 3, no
more than 220,000 shares therefore may be actually issued as restricted Stock awards. The Board
shall account for which restricted Stock awards were granted pursuant to such amendment in its sole
and complete discretion.

     (c) Stock Appreciation Rights. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, the Board
may, at any time and from time to time, before the date of termination of the Plan award to a
Grantee a SAR. A SAR shall confer on the Grantee to whom it is awarded the right to receive, upon
exercise, the excess of (i) the fair market value of a share of Stock on the date of exercise
(determined in good faith by the Board), over (ii) the grant price. Each grant of a SAR shall be
effected by execution of an Award Agreement setting out the terms and conditions applicable
thereto. The Award Agreement for a SAR shall specify the grant price of the SAR, which shall be no
less than the fair market value of a share of Stock on the date of grant. The date on which the
Board approves the award of a SAR shall be considered

5

 

the date of grant. No SAR may be exercisable
after the date of grant prior to the completion of a minimum of one year of service for the
Corporation from the date of such grant to the Grantee, unless the Board provides that such service
will not be required in the case of death or disability of the Grantee. Each SAR shall be settled
in whole shares of Stock, with any fractional share of Stock that would result from exercise of the
SAR eliminated entirely.

     (d) Deferral. The Board may establish rules and procedures setting forth the circumstances
under which distribution or the receipt of Stock and other amounts payable with respect to an
Incentive Award shall be deferred either automatically or at the election of the Grantee and
whether and to what extent the Company shall pay or credit amounts constituting interest (at rates
determined by the Board) or dividends or deemed dividends on such deferrals.

7. LIMITATION ON INCENTIVE STOCK OPTIONS.

     An Option shall constitute an Incentive Stock Option only (i) if the Option is awarded to an
eligible individual who is an employee of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company; (ii) to the
extent specifically provided in the related Award Agreement; and (iii) to the extent that the
aggregate fair market value (determined at the time the option is granted) of the shares of Stock
with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by any Grantee
during any calendar year (under the Plan and all other plans of the Grantee’s employer corporation
and its parent and subsidiary corporations within the meaning of Section 422(d) of the Code) does
not exceed $100,000. This limitation shall be applied by taking Options into account in the order
in which they were granted.

8. AWARD AGREEMENTS.

     All Incentive Awards granted pursuant to the Plan shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement, in
such form or forms as the Board shall from time to time determine. Award Agreements granted from
time to time or at the same time need not contain similar provisions but shall be consistent with
the terms of the Plan. Each Award Agreement evidencing an award of Options shall specify whether
such Options are intended to be non-qualified stock options or Incentive Stock Options, and in the
absence of such specification such options shall be deemed non-qualified stock options. To the
extent an Award Agreement for an Option or SAR is issued in the form of a Grant Notice which omits
the specific terms governing the Option or SAR, the standard provisions set forth in this Plan
shall apply. In particular, under any such Grant Notice, the terms set forth in Sections 10, 11,
12, and 13, respectively, shall apply to (i) the term and exercisability of the Option or SAR; (ii)
the transferability of the Option or SAR; (iii) the effect of termination of service or employment;
or (iv) the rights in the event of death, disability or termination of employment on or after
attainment of the normal retirement age as defined in the Corporation’s pension plan (“Normal
Retirement”).

9. OPTION PRICE.

     The purchase price of each share of the Stock subject to an Option (the “Option Price”) shall
be fixed by the Board and stated in each Award Agreement, and shall be not less than the greater of
par value or 100 percent of the fair market value of a share of the Stock on the date the Option is
granted (as determined in good faith by the Board); provided, however, that in the event the
Grantee would otherwise be ineligible to receive an Incentive Stock Option by reason of the
provisions of Sections 422(b)(6) and 424(d) of the Code (relating to stock ownership of more than
10 percent), the Option Price of an Option which is intended to be an Incentive Stock Option shall
be not less than the greater of par value or 110 percent of the fair market value of a share of
Stock at the time such Option is granted. In the event that the Stock is listed on an established
national or regional stock exchange, is admitted to quotation on the Nasdaq National Market, or
otherwise is publicly traded in an established securities market, in determining the fair market
value of the Stock, the Board shall use the closing price of the Stock on such exchange or in such
market (the highest such closing price if there is more than one such exchange or market) on the
trading date immediately before the Option is granted (or, if there is no such closing price, then
the Board shall use the mean between the highest bid and lowest asked prices or between the high
and low prices on such date), or , if no sale of the Stock has been made on such day, on the next
preceding day on which any such sale shall have been made.

     No Option granted under the Plan shall be amended or modified so as to reduce the Option Price
of such Option and no other action shall be taken to reprice any Option if such amendment,
modification or other repricing would result in a charge against the earning of the Corporation or
any of its affiliates.

10. TERM AND EXERCISE OF OPTIONS AND SARS.

     (a) Term. Subject to Sections 12 and 13 below, each Option or SAR granted under the Plan
shall terminate and all rights to acquire shares thereunder shall cease upon the expiration of 10
years from the date such Option or SAR is granted, or on such earlier date as explicitly stated in
the Award Agreement; provided, however, that in the event the Grantee would otherwise be ineligible
to receive an Incentive Stock Option by reason of the provisions of Sections 422(b)(6) and 424(d)
of the Code (relating to stock ownership of more than 10 percent), an Option granted to such
Grantee which is intended to be an Incentive Stock Option shall in no event be exercisable after
the expiration of five years from the date it is granted.

7

 

     (b) Exercisability Period and Limitations on Exercise. Each Option or SAR shall vest and
become exercisable, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, over a period
commencing on or after the date of grant and ending upon the expiration or termination of the
Option or SAR, as the Board shall determine and set forth in the Award Agreement relating to such Option or SAR; provided, however, that to the
extent the Option or SAR is awarded pursuant to a Grant Notice, the Option or SAR shall then vest
in equal annual installments ratable on each vesting date stated in the Grant Notice or, if the
Grant Notice provides for cliff vesting, on the last day of the vesting period, subject to the
continued service of the Grantee on each vesting date or, in the case of cliff vesting, the vesting
date, such that, except as provided otherwise in Section 12 or Section 17, any portion of an Option
or SAR not yet vested or exercisable as of the date the Grantee ceases to provide continuous
services to the Corporation or a Subsidiary, shall be forfeited and shall not in the future become
exercisable. Without limiting the foregoing, the Board, subject to the terms and conditions of the
Plan, may in its sole discretion provide that an Option or SAR may not be exercised in whole or in
part for any period or periods of time during which such Option or SAR is outstanding; provided,
however, that any such limitation on the exercise of an Option or SAR may be rescinded, modified or
waived by the Board, in its sole discretion, at any time and from time to time after the date of
grant of such Option or SAR, so as to accelerate the time at which the Option or SAR may be
exercised. Each Option or SAR granted to Non-Employee Directors or Subsidiary Directors shall be
exercisable, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, over a period commencing on
the date of grant and ending on the expiration or termination of the Option or SAR as set forth in
the Award Agreement.

     (c) Method of Option Exercise. An Option that is exercisable hereunder may be exercised by
delivery to the Corporation on any business day, at its principal office, addressed to the
attention of the Committee, of written notice of exercise, which notice shall specify the number of
shares with respect to which the Option is being exercised. The minimum number of shares of Stock
with respect to which an Option may be exercised, in whole or in part, at any time shall be the
lesser of 100 shares or the maximum number of shares available for purchase under the Option at the
time of exercise. Payment of the Option Price for the shares of Stock purchased pursuant to the
exercise of an Option shall be made (i) in cash or in cash equivalents; (ii) through the tender to
the Corporation of shares of Stock, which shares shall be valued, for purposes of determining the
extent to which the Option Price has been paid thereby, at their fair market value (determined in
the manner described in Section 9 above) on the date of exercise; or (iii) by a combination of the
methods described in (i) and (ii). Unless the Award Agreement provides otherwise, payment in full
of the Option Price need not accompany the written notice of exercise provided the notice of
exercise directs that the Stock certificate or certificates for the shares for which the Option is
exercised be delivered to a licensed broker acceptable to the Corporation as the agent for the
individual

8

 

exercising the Option and, at the time such Stock certificate or certificates are
delivered, the broker tenders to the Corporation cash (or cash equivalents acceptable to the
Corporation) equal to the Option Price for the shares of Stock purchased pursuant to the exercise
of the Option plus the amount (if any) of federal and/or other taxes which the Corporation may, in its judgment, be required to withhold with
respect to the exercise of the Option. If the person exercising the Option is not the Grantee,
such person shall also deliver with the notice of exercise appropriate proof of his or her right to
exercise the Option. An attempt to exercise any Option granted hereunder other than as set forth
above shall be invalid and of no force and effect. Promptly after the exercise of an Option and
the payment in full of the Option Price of the shares of Stock covered thereby, the individual
exercising the Option shall be entitled to the issuance of a Stock certificate or certificates
evidencing his ownership of such shares. A separate Stock certificate or certificates shall be
issued for any shares purchased pursuant to the exercise of an Option which is an Incentive Stock
Option, which certificate or certificates shall not include any shares which were purchased
pursuant to the exercise of an Option which is not an Incentive Stock Option. An individual
holding or exercising an Option shall have none of the rights of a shareholder until the shares of
Stock covered thereby are fully paid and issued to him and, except as provided in Section 17 below,
no adjustment shall be made for dividends or other rights for which the record date is before the
date of such issuance.

11. TRANSFERABILITY OF INCENTIVE AWARDS.

     (a) Restricted Stock. No shares of restricted Stock shall be sold, transferred, assigned,
pledged or otherwise encumbered until the Grantee has satisfied all applicable performance
objectives, if any, and service requirements (if any) imposed as a condition to the vesting of such
shares and until the lapse or expiration of all other applicable restrictions and conditions
imposed by the Board with respect to such shares.

     (b) SARs. During the lifetime of a Grantee to whom a SAR is granted, only such Grantee (or,
in the event of legal incapacity or incompetence, the Grantee’s guardian or legal representative)
may exercise such SAR. No SAR shall be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged or otherwise
encumbered by the Grantee to whom it is granted, other than by will or the laws of descent and
distribution.

     (c) Options. During the lifetime of a Grantee to whom an Incentive Stock Option is granted,
only such Grantee (or, in the event of legal incapacity or incompetence, the Grantee’s guardian or
legal representative) may exercise such Incentive Stock Option. No Option shall be assignable or
transferable by the Grantee to whom it is granted, other than by will or the laws of descent and
distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and provided the Award Agreement sets forth this
provision explicitly, the Board, subject to the terms and conditions of

9

 

the Plan, may in its sole discretion permit a Grantee to transfer not for value all or part of an Option that is not intended
to constitute an Incentive Stock Option to a Family member or a Family Trust, provided that the
transferee shall enter into a written agreement to be bound by the terms of the Plan and the Award
Agreement and any subsequent transfer of the Option or shares of Stock shall be subject to the
transfer restrictions set out in the Plan. A transfer to an entity in which more than 50% of the
voting interests are owned by Family members (or the Grantee) in exchange for an interest in that
entity, shall be considered to be “not for value” for this purpose. For this purpose, “Family”
means the child, stepchild, grandchild, parent, stepparent, grandparent, spouse, former spouse,
sibling, niece, nephew, mother-in-law, father-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, brother-in-law
or sister-in-law of the Grantee, including adoptive relationships, or any person sharing the
Grantee’s household (other than a tenant or employee) and “Family Trust” means a trust in which
members of the Grantee’s Family have more than 50% of the beneficial interest, a foundation in
which members of the Grantee’s Family (or the Grantee) control the management of assets, and any
other entity in which a member of the Grantee’s Family (or the Grantee) owns more than 50% of the
voting interests.

12. TERMINATION OF SERVICE OR EMPLOYMENT.

     (a) Employees. With respect to an Option or SAR, upon the termination of the employment or
service of the Grantee (other than a Subsidiary Director or Non-Employee Director) with the
Corporation or a Subsidiary, other than by reason of the death or “permanent and total disability”
(within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Code) or after the Grantee’s attainment of Normal
Retirement, any Option or SAR granted pursuant to the Plan shall terminate three months after the
date of such termination of employment or service, unless earlier terminated pursuant to Section
10(a) above, and such Grantee shall have no further right to purchase shares of Stock pursuant to
such Option or to settle the SAR; provided, however, in the event the Corporation or Subsidiary, as
applicable, terminates the Grantee’s employment without “cause,” and this termination occurs prior
to full vesting and exercisability of the Option or SAR, the portion of the Grantee’s Option or SAR
considered vested and exercisable shall be determined by multiplying the number of shares of Stock
subject to the Option or SAR by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of full calendar
months during which the Grantee was employed by the Company or a Subsidiary and the denominator of
which is the number of months of service required to achieve full vesting and exercisability. For
purposes of this Section 12(a), cause shall mean termination because of the Grantee’s personal
dishonesty, incompetence, willful misconduct, breach of fiduciary duty involving personal profit,
intentional failure to perform stated duties, willful violation of any law, rule or regulation
(other than traffic violations or similar offenses) or final cease-and-desist order, or material
breach of any provision of any employment agreement between the Grantee and the Corporation or any
Subsidiary. Furthermore, in the event of a Grantee’s death

10

 

during the period following the Grantee’s termination of employment or service under this Section 12(a), the executors or
administrators or legatees or distributees of such Grantee’s estate shall have the right (subject
to the general limitations on exercise set forth in Section 10(b) above), at any time subsequent to
such Grantee’s death and before termination of the Option as provided in Section 10(a) above, to
exercise any Option held by such Grantee at the date of such Grantee’s death,
subject to any installment limitation on exercise imposed pursuant to Section 10(b) above or above
in Section 12(a), as applicable. With respect to an award of restricted Stock, upon the termination
of the employment or service of a Grantee with the Corporation or a Subsidiary other than by reason
of death or “permanent and total disability” (within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Code)
or after the Grantee’s attainment of Normal Retirement, any restricted Stock issued to such Grantee
that has not vested, or with respect to which all applicable restrictions and conditions have not
lapsed, shall immediately be deemed forfeited, unless the Board, in its discretion, determines
otherwise. Upon forfeiture of restricted Stock, the Grantee shall have no further rights with
respect to such Stock, including but not limited to any right to vote restricted Stock or any right
to receive dividends with respect to such shares of restricted Stock. Whether a leave of absence
or leave on military or government service shall constitute a termination of employment or service
for purposes of the Plan shall be determined by the Board, which determination shall be final and
conclusive. For purposes of the Plan, a termination of employment or service with the Corporation
or a Subsidiary shall not be deemed to occur if immediately thereafter the Grantee is employed with
the Corporation or any Subsidiary or is serving as a Subsidiary Director or Non-Employee Director.

     (b) Non-Employee Directors and Subsidiary Directors. Any Option or SAR granted to a
Non-Employee Director or Subsidiary Director shall not terminate until the expiration of the term
of the Option or SAR regardless of whether the Non-Employee Director or Subsidiary Director
continues to serve as a director of the Corporation, unless earlier terminated pursuant to Section
10(a) above; provided, however, that the Board may provide, by inclusion of appropriate language in
an Award Agreement, that a Grantee may (subject to the general limitations on exercise set forth in
Section 10(b) above), in the event of termination of service of the Grantee with the Corporation as
a Non-Employee Director or Subsidiary Director, exercise an Option or SAR, in whole or in part,
within a specified period of time subsequent to such termination of service and before termination
of the Option or SAR as provided in Section 10(a) above, either subject to or without regard to any
installment limitation on exercise imposed pursuant to Section 10(b) above.

13. RIGHTS IN THE EVENT OF DEATH, DISABILITY OR RETIREMENT.

     (a) Death of an Employee. If a Grantee (other than a Non-Employee Director or Subsidiary
Director) dies while employed by the Corporation or a Subsidiary, the executors or administrators
or legatees or distributees of such

11

 

Grantee’s estate shall have the right (subject to the general
limitations on exercise set forth in Section 10(b) above), at any time subsequent to such Grantee’s
death and before termination of the Option as provided in Section 10(a) above, to exercise any
Option or SAR held by such Grantee at the date of such Grantee’s death, without regard to any
installment limitation on exercise imposed pursuant to Section 10(b) above. If a Grantee dies
while employed by the Corporation or a Subsidiary, except as provided in the applicable Award
Agreement, all shares of restricted Stock granted to such Grantee shall fully vest on the date of death, and the shares of
Stock represented thereby shall be deliverable in accordance with the terms of the Plan to the
executors, administrators, legatees or distributees of the Grantee’s estate.

     (b) Disability of an Employee. If a Grantee (other than a Non-Employee Director or Subsidiary
Director) terminates employment or service with the Corporation or a Subsidiary by reason of the
“permanent and total disability” (within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Code) of such
Grantee, then such Grantee shall have the right (subject to the general limitations on exercise set
forth in Section 10(b) above), at any time subsequent to such termination of employment or service
and before termination of the Option or SAR as provided in Section 10(a) above, to exercise, in
whole or in part, any such Option or SAR held by such Grantee at the date of such termination of
employment or service, without regard to any installment limitation on exercise imposed pursuant to
Section 10(b) above. If a Grantee terminates employment or service with the Corporation or a
Subsidiary by reason of “permanent and total disability” (as defined above), except as provided in
the applicable Award Agreement, all shares of restricted Stock granted to such Grantee shall fully
vest upon such termination of employment. Whether a termination of employment or service is to be
considered by reason of “permanent and total disability” for purposes of this Plan shall be
determined by the Board, which determination shall be final and conclusive.

     (c) Death or Disability of a Non-Employee Director or Subsidiary Director. Any Option or SAR
granted to a Non-Employee Director or Subsidiary Director shall not terminate until the expiration
of the term of the Option or SAR regardless of whether the Non-Employee Director or Subsidiary
Director continues to serve as a director of the Corporation or Subsidiary, unless earlier
terminated pursuant to Section 10(a) above; provided, however, that the Board may provide, by
inclusion of appropriate language in an Award Agreement, that a Grantee (or, in the event of the
death of the Grantee, the executors or administrators or legatees or distributees of such Grantee’s
estate) may (subject to the general limitations on exercise set forth in Section 10(b) above), in
the event of termination of service of the Grantee with the Corporation as a Non-Employee Director
or Subsidiary Director because of death or disability, exercise an Option or SAR, in whole or in
part, within a specified period of time subsequent to such termination of service and before
termination of the Option or SAR as provided in Section 10(a) above, either subject to or without
regard to any installment limitation on exercise imposed pursuant to Section 10(b) above.

12

 

     (d) Normal Retirement of an Employee. If a Grantee (other than a Non-Employee Director or
Subsidiary Director) terminates employment or service with the Corporation or a Subsidiary by
reason of Normal Retirement of such Grantee, then such Grantee shall have the right, at any time
after such termination of employment or service and before termination of the Option or SAR as provided in Section 10(a)
above, to exercise, in whole or in part, any Option or SAR held by such Grantee at the date of such
termination of employment or service, without regard to any installment limitation on exercise
imposed pursuant to Section 10(b) above. In addition, if a Grantee (other than a Non-Employee
Director or Subsidiary Director) terminates employment or service with the Corporation or a
Subsidiary by reason of Normal Retirement of such Grantee, then the restrictions on such Grantee’s
restricted Stock shall lapse and the Grantee shall be entitled to the shares of Stock as specified
in the Grantee’s Award Agreement.

14. USE OF PROCEEDS.

     The proceeds received by the Corporation from the sale of Stock pursuant to Incentive Awards
granted under the Plan shall constitute general funds of the Corporation.

15. REQUIREMENTS OF LAW.

     The Corporation shall not be required to sell or issue any shares of Stock under any Incentive
Award if the sale or issuance of such shares would constitute a violation by the individual
exercising the Incentive Award or the Corporation of any provisions of any law or regulation of any
governmental authority, including without limitation any federal or state securities laws or
regulations. Specifically in connection with the Securities Act of 1933 as now in effect or as
hereafter amended (the “Securities Act”), upon exercise of any Option or SAR, unless a registration
statement under the Securities Act is in effect with respect to the shares of Stock covered by such
Option or SAR, the Corporation shall not be required to sell or issue such shares unless the Board
has received evidence satisfactory to it that the holder of such Option or SAR may acquire such
shares pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act. Any determination in
this connection by the Board shall be final, binding, and conclusive.

16. AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION OF THE PLAN.

     The Board may, at any time and from time to time, amend, suspend or terminate the Plan as to
any shares of Stock as to which Incentive Awards have not been granted; provided, however, that no
amendment by the Board shall, without approval by by a majority of the votes cast at a duly held
meeting of the

13

 

shareholders of the Corporation at which a quorum representing a majority of all
outstanding voting stock is, either in person or by proxy, present and voting on the amendment, (a)
materially change the requirements as to eligibility to receive Incentive Awards; (b) increase the
maximum number of shares of Stock in the aggregate that may be sold or otherwise awarded pursuant
to Incentive Awards granted under the Plan (except as permitted under Section 17 hereof); (c)
change the minimum Option Price set forth in Section 9 hereof or the minimum grant price
for a SAR set forth in Section 6(b) hereof (except as permitted under Section 17 hereof); (d)
increase the maximum period during which Options or SARs may be exercised; (e) extend the term of
the Plan; or (f) materially increase the benefits accruing to eligible individuals under the Plan.
Except as permitted under Section 17 hereof, no amendment, suspension or termination of the Plan
shall, without the consent of the holder of the Incentive Award, impair rights or obligations under
any Incentive Award theretofore granted under the Plan.

17. EFFECT OF CHANGES IN CAPITALIZATION.

     (a) Changes in Stock. If the outstanding shares of Stock are increased or decreased or
changed into or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or other securities of the
Corporation by reason of any recapitalization, reclassification, stock split-up, combination of
shares, exchange of shares, stock dividend or other distribution payable in capital stock, or other
increase or decrease in such shares effected without receipt of consideration by the Corporation,
occurring after the effective date of the Plan, the number and kinds of shares for the purchase of
which Incentive Awards may be granted under the Plan shall be adjusted proportionately and
accordingly by the Corporation. In addition, the number and kind of shares for which Options or
SARs are outstanding shall be adjusted proportionately and accordingly so that the proportionate
interest of the holder of the Option immediately following such event shall, to the extent
practicable, be the same as immediately before such event. Any such adjustment in outstanding
Options shall not change the aggregate Option Price or grant price payable with respect to shares
subject to the unexercised portion of the Option or SAR outstanding, but shall include a
corresponding proportionate adjustment in the Option Price or grant price per share.

     (b) Reorganization in Which the Corporation Is the Surviving Corporation. Subject to
Subsection (c) hereof, if the Corporation shall be the surviving corporation in any reorganization,
merger, or consolidation of the Corporation with one or more other corporations, any Incentive
Award theretofore granted pursuant to the Plan shall pertain to and apply to the securities to
which a holder of the number of shares of Stock subject to such Incentive Award would have been
entitled immediately following such reorganization, merger, or consolidation, and, in the case of
an Option or SAR, with a corresponding proportionate adjustment of the Option Price or grant

14

 

price per share so that the aggregate Option Price or grant price thereafter shall be the same as the
aggregate Option Price or grant price of the shares remaining subject to the Option immediately
before such reorganization, merger, or consolidation.

     (c) Reorganization in Which the Corporation Is Not the Surviving Corporation or Sale of Assets
or Stock. Upon the dissolution or liquidation of the Corporation, or upon a merger, consolidation
or reorganization of the Corporation with one or more other corporations in which the Corporation
is not the surviving corporation, or upon a sale of substantially all of the assets of the Corporation to another
corporation, or upon any transaction (including, without limitation, a merger or reorganization in
which the Corporation is the surviving corporation) approved by the Board which results in any
person or entity owning 80 percent or more of the combined voting power of all classes of stock of
the Corporation, the Plan and all Incentive Awards outstanding hereunder shall terminate, except to
the extent provision is made in writing in connection with such transaction for the continuation of
the Plan and/or the assumption of the Incentive Awards theretofore granted, or for the substitution
for such Incentive Awards of new options, stock appreciation rights or restricted Stock, as
applicable, covering the stock of a successor corporation, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, with
appropriate adjustments as to the number and kinds of shares and, in the case of Options and SARs,
exercise or grant prices, in which event the Plan and Incentive Awards theretofore granted shall
continue in the manner and under the terms so provided. In the event of any such termination of
the Plan, all restrictions on restricted Stock shall lapse and the Grantee shall become the owner
outright of the Stock and each individual holding an Option or SAR shall have the right, for 30
days immediately prior to the occurrence of such termination, to exercise such Option in whole or
in part, without regard to any limitation on exercise imposed pursuant to Section 10(b) above,
unless otherwise explicitly provided in the Award Agreement. The Board shall send written notice
of an event that will result in such a termination to all individuals who hold Options or SARs not
later than the time at which the Corporation gives notice thereof to its shareholders.

     (d) Change of
Control Accelerated Vesting. With the exception of any officer who declines to
execute the amendment to the Change of Control Agreement approved by the Board on
January 31, 2005, and except as may otherwise be explicitly provided in an Award Agreement, even if
Incentive Awards are assumed or continued in connection with such transaction, Incentive Awards
outstanding to eligible individuals who continue to render services to the Corporation or a
Subsidiary immediately prior to a Change of Control shall become fully vested, and, in the case of
Options or SARs, exercisable, upon the Change of Control.

     (e) Adjustments. Adjustments under this Section 17 related to stock or securities of the
Corporation shall be made by the Board, whose determination in

15

 

that respect shall be final, binding, and conclusive. No fractional shares of Stock or units of other securities shall be
issued pursuant to any such adjustment, and any fractions resulting from any such adjustment shall
be eliminated in each case by rounding downward to the nearest whole share or unit.

     (f) No Limitations on Corporation. The grant of an Incentive Award pursuant to the Plan shall
not affect or limit in any way the right or power of the Corporation to make adjustments,
reclassifications, reorganizations or changes of its capital or business structure or to merge, consolidate, dissolve or liquidate, or to sell or
transfer all or any part of its business or assets.

18. CHANGE OF CONTROL DEFINED.

     (a) General Rule. For the purpose of this Plan, a “Change of Control” shall mean the
occurrence of any one of the events described in Sections 18(b) through 18(e) below.

     (b) Stock Acquisition. A Change of Control shall occur upon the acquisition by any
individual, entity or group (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) (a “Person”) of beneficial ownership (within
the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of 20% or more of either (i) the then
outstanding shares of common stock of the Corporation (the “Outstanding Corporation Common Stock”)
or (ii) the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of the Corporation
entitled to vote generally in the election of directors (the “Outstanding Corporation Voting
Securities”); provided, however, that for purposes of this subsection (a), the following
acquisitions shall not constitute a Change of Control: (i) any acquisition directly from the
Corporation, (ii) any acquisition by the Corporation, (iii) any acquisition by any employee benefit
plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained by the Corporation or any company controlled by the
Corporation or (iv) any acquisition by any corporation pursuant to a transaction which complies
with clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of subsection (d) of this Section 18.

     (c) Board Change. A Change of Control shall occur when individuals who, as of January 31,
2005, constitute the Board (the “Incumbent Board”) cease for any reason to constitute at least a
majority of the Board; provided, however, that any individual becoming a director subsequent to the
date hereof whose election, or nomination for election by the Corporation’s shareholders, was
approved by a vote of at least a majority of the directors then comprising the Incumbent Board
shall be considered as though such individual were a member of the Incumbent Board, but excluding,
for this purpose, any such individual whose initial assumption of office occurs as a result of an
actual or threatened election contest with respect to the

16

 

election or removal of directors or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of a Person other than the
Board; or

     (d) Certain Other Business Transactions. A Change of Control shall occur upon consummation of
a reorganization, merger or consolidation or sale or other disposition of all or substantially all
of the assets of the Corporation (a “Business Combination”), in each case, unless, following such
Business Combination, (i) all or substantially all of the individuals and entities who were the
beneficial owners, respectively, of the Outstanding Corporation Common Stock and Outstanding
Corporation Voting Securities immediately prior to such Business Combination beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of, respectively, the then outstanding
shares of common stock and the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities
entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, as the case may be, of the corporation
resulting from such Business Combination (including, without limitation, a company which as a
result of such transaction owns the Corporation or all or substantially all of the Corporation’s
assets either directly or through one or more subsidiaries) in substantially the same proportions
as their ownership, immediately prior to such Business Combination of the Outstanding Corporation
Common Stock and Outstanding Corporation Voting Securities, as the case may be, (ii) no Person
(excluding any corporation resulting from such Business Combination or any employee benefit plan
(or related trust) of the Corporation or such corporation resulting from such Business Combination)
beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, 20% or more of, respectively, the then outstanding
shares of common stock of the corporation resulting from such Business Combination or the combined
voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of such corporation except to the extent
that such ownership existed prior to the Business Combination and (iii) at least a majority of the
members of the board of directors of the corporation resulting from such Business Combination were
members of the Incumbent Board at the time of the execution of the initial agreement, or of the
action of the Board, providing for such Business Combination.

     (e) Liquidation or Dissolution. A Change of Control shall occur upon approval by the
shareholders of the Corporation of a complete liquidation or dissolution of the Corporation.

19. DISCLAIMER OF RIGHTS.

     No provision in the Plan or in any Incentive Award granted or Award Agreement entered into
pursuant to the Plan shall be construed to confer upon any individual the right to remain in the
employ or service of the Corporation or any Subsidiary, or to interfere in any way with the right
and authority of the Corporation or any Subsidiary either to increase or decrease the compensation
of any individual at any time, or to terminate any employment or other relationship between any
individual and the Corporation or any Subsidiary.

17

 

20. NONEXCLUSIVITY OF THE PLAN.

     Neither the adoption of the Plan nor the submission of the Plan to the shareholders of the
Corporation for approval shall be construed as creating any limitations upon the right and
authority of the Board to adopt such other incentive compensation arrangements (which arrangements
may be applicable either generally to a class or classes of individuals or specifically to a
particular individual or individuals) as the Board in its discretion determines desirable,
including, without limitation, the granting of stock options otherwise than under the Plan.

21. WITHHOLDING TAXES.

     The Corporation or any Subsidiary, as the case may be, shall have the right to deduct from
payments of any kind otherwise due a Grantee any Federal, state, or local taxes of any kind
required by law to be withheld with respect to the vesting of or other lapse of restrictions
applicable to Incentive Awards or with respect to the exercise of Options or SARs. At the time of
such vesting, lapse, or exercise, the Grantee shall pay to the Corporation or such Subsidiary, as
the case may be, any amount that the Corporation or the Subsidiary may reasonably determine to be
necessary to satisfy such withholding obligation. Subject to the prior approval of the Corporation
or any Subsidiary, as the case may be, which may be withheld in the sole discretion thereof, the
Grantee may elect to satisfy such obligations, in whole or in part, (i) by causing the Corporation
or such Subsidiary to withhold shares of Stock otherwise deliverable under a restricted Stock award
or a SAR or by withholding from the Stock to be issued upon the exercise of an Option or (ii) by
delivering to the Corporation or such Subsidiary shares of Stock already owned by the Grantee. The
shares of Stock so delivered or withheld shall have a fair market value equal to the withholding
obligations. The fair market value of the shares of Stock used to satisfy the withholding
obligation shall be determined by the Corporation or any Subsidiary as of the date that the amount
of tax to be withheld is determined.
