is intended to enhance the Company’s and its Affiliates’ (as defined herein)

goals in accordance with the terms hereof. Stock options granted under the Plan

herein.

      3.1.           General.

       

      The
Committee shall have such powers and authorities related to the administration
of the Plan as are consistent with the Company’s certificate of incorporation
and bylaws and applicable law. The Committee shall have full power and authority
to take all actions and to make all determinations required or provided for
under the Plan, any Award or any Award Agreement, and shall have full power and
authority to take all such other actions and make all such other determinations
not inconsistent with the specific terms and provisions of the Plan that the
Committee deems to be necessary or appropriate to the administration of the
Plan.  The interpretation and construction by the Committee of any
provision of the Plan, any Award or any Award Agreement shall be final, binding
and conclusive. Without limitation, the Committee shall have full and final
authority, subject to the other terms and conditions of the Plan,
to:

       

      (i)
designate Grantees;

       

      (ii)
determine the type or types of Awards to be made to a Grantee;

       

      (iii)
determine the number of shares of Stock to be subject to an Award;

       

      (iv)
establish the terms and conditions of each Award (including, but not limited to,
the Option Price of any Option, the nature and duration of any restriction or
condition (or provision for lapse thereof) relating to the vesting, exercise,
transfer, or forfeiture of an Award or the shares of Stock subject thereto, and
any terms or conditions that may be necessary to qualify Options as Incentive
Stock Options);

       

      (v)
prescribe the form of each Award Agreement; and

       

      (vi)
amend, modify, or supplement the terms of any outstanding Award including the
authority, in order to effectuate the purposes of the Plan, to modify Awards to
foreign nationals or individuals who are employed outside the United States
to recognize differences in local law, tax policy, or custom.

       

      Notwithstanding
the foregoing, no amendment or modification may be made to an outstanding Option
or SAR that (i)  causes the Option or SAR to become subject to
Section 409A, (ii) reduces the Option Price or SAR Exercise Price,
either by lowering the Option Price or SAR Exercise Price or by canceling the
outstanding Option or SAR and granting a replacement Option or SAR with a lower
Option Price or SAR Exercise Price or (iii) would be treated as a repricing
under the rules of the exchange upon which the Company’s Stock trades, without,
with respect to item (i), the Grantee’s written prior approval, and with respect
to items (ii) and (iii), without the approval of the stockholders of the
Company, provided, that, appropriate adjustments may be made to outstanding
Options and SARs pursuant to Section 15.

      The
Company may retain the right in an Award Agreement to cause a forfeiture of the
gain realized by a Grantee on account of actions taken by the Grantee in
violation or breach of or in conflict with any employment agreement,
non-competition agreement, any agreement prohibiting solicitation of employees
or clients of the Company or any Affiliate thereof or any confidentiality
obligation with respect to the Company or any Affiliate thereof or otherwise in
competition with the Company or any Affiliate thereof, to the extent specified
in such Award Agreement applicable to the Grantee.  Furthermore, the
Company may annul an Award if the Grantee is terminated for Cause as defined in
the applicable Award Agreement or the Plan, as applicable. The grant of any
Award may be contingent upon the Grantee executing the appropriate Award
Agreement.

       

      3.2.           Deferral
Arrangement.

       

      The
Committee may permit or require the deferral of any Award payment into a
deferred compensation arrangement, subject to such rules and procedures as it
may establish and in accordance with Section 409A, which may include
provisions for the payment or crediting of interest or dividend equivalents,
including converting such credits into deferred Stock units.

       

      3.3.           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, any Award or Award
Agreement.

       

      3.4.           Book
Entry.

       

      Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Plan to the contrary, the Company may elect to
satisfy any requirement under this Plan for the delivery of stock certificates
through the use of book-entry.

                STOCK
      SUBJECT TO THE PLAN

              

      

       

      Subject
to adjustment as provided in Section 15 hereof, the
maximum number of shares of Stock available for issuance under the Plan shall be
4,000,000. All such shares of Stock available for issuance under the Plan shall
be available for issuance pursuant to Incentive Stock Options.  Stock
issued or to be issued under the Plan shall be authorized but unissued shares;
or, to the extent permitted by applicable law, issued shares that have been
reacquired by the Company.  The maximum number of Common Stock that
will be awarded to any one Grantee during any calendar year shall not exceed
1,000,000.

       

      The
Committee may adopt reasonable procedures for making adjustments in accordance
with Section 15. If
the Option Price of any Option granted under the Plan, or if pursuant to Section 16.3 the
withholding obligation of any Grantee with respect to an Option or other Award,
is satisfied by tendering shares of Stock to the Company (by either actual
delivery or by attestation) or by withholding shares of Stock, the number of
shares of Stock issued net of the shares of Stock tendered or withheld shall be
deemed delivered for purposes of determining the maximum number of shares of
Stock available for delivery under the Plan. To the extent that an Award under
the Plan is canceled, expired, forfeited, settled in cash, settled by issuance
of fewer shares than the number underlying the Award, or otherwise terminated
without delivery of shares to the Grantee, the shares retained by or returned to
the Company will be available under the Plan; and shares that are withheld from
such an Award or separately surrendered by the Grantee in payment of any
exercise price or taxes relating to such an Award shall be deemed to constitute
shares not delivered to the Grantee and will be available under the Plan. In
addition, in the case of any Award granted in assumption of or in substitution
for an award of a company or business acquired by the Company or a Subsidiary or
Affiliate or with which the Company or a Subsidiary or Affiliate combines,
shares issued or issuable in connection with such substitute Award shall not be
counted against the number of shares reserved under the Plan.

(10) year anniversary of the Effective Date, and may be terminated on any
earlier date as provided in Section 5.2.

       

      5.2.           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 Awards which have not been made. An amendment shall be contingent on
approval of the Company’s stockholders to the extent stated by the Board,
required by applicable law or required by applicable stock exchange listing
requirements. No Awards shall be made after termination of the Plan. No
amendment, suspension, or termination of the Plan shall, without the consent of
the Grantee, impair rights or obligations under any Award theretofore
awarded.

Providers and Other Persons.

       

      Subject
to this Section 6,
Awards may be made to any Service Provider, including any Service Provider who
is an officer or director of the Company or of any Affiliate, as the Committee
shall determine and designate from time to time in its discretion.

       

      6.2.           Successive
Awards.

       

      An
eligible person may receive more than one Award, subject to such restrictions as
are provided herein.

       

      6.3.           Stand-Alone,
Additional, Tandem, and Substitute Awards.

       

      Awards
may, in the discretion of the Committee, be granted either alone or in addition
to, in tandem with, or in substitution or exchange for, any other Award or any
award granted under another plan of the Company, any Affiliate, or any business
entity to be acquired by the Company or an Affiliate, or any other right of a
Grantee to receive payment from the Company or any Affiliate. Such additional,
tandem, and substitute or exchange Awards may be granted at any time. If an
Award is granted in substitution or exchange for another Award, the Committee
shall have the right to require the surrender of such other Award in
consideration for the grant of the new Award. The Board shall have the right, in
its discretion, to make Awards in substitution or exchange for any other award
under another plan of the Company, any Affiliate, or any business entity to be
acquired by the Company or an Affiliate. In addition, Awards may be granted in
lieu of cash compensation, including in lieu of cash amounts payable under other
plans of the Company or any Affiliate, in which the value of Stock subject to
the Award is equivalent in value to the cash compensation (for example,
Restricted Stock Units or Restricted Stock).

      Each
Award shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement, in such form or forms as the
Committee shall from time to time determine.  Without limiting the
foregoing, an Award Agreement may be provided in the form of a notice which
provides that acceptance of the Award constitutes acceptance of all terms of the
Plan and the notice.  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.

      8.1.           Option
Price.

       

      The
Option Price of each Option shall be fixed by the Committee and stated in the
related Award Agreement. The Option Price of each Incentive Stock Option shall
be at least the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the Grant Date; provided, however, that
(i) in the event that a Grantee is a Ten Percent Stockholder as of the
Grant Date, the Option Price of an Option granted to such Grantee that is
intended to be an Incentive Stock Option shall be not less than 110 percent of
the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the Grant Date, and (ii) with
respect to Awards made in substitution for or in exchange for awards made by an
entity acquired by the Company or an Affiliate, the Option Price does not need
to be at least the Fair Market Value on the Grant Date. In no case shall the
Option Price of any Option be less than the par value of a share of
Stock.

       

      8.2.           Vesting.

       

      Subject
to Section 8.3
hereof, each Option shall become exercisable at such times and under such
conditions (including without limitation performance requirements) as shall be
determined by the Committee and stated in the Award Agreement. For purposes of
this Section 8.2,
fractional numbers of shares of Stock subject to an Option shall be rounded down
to the next nearest whole number.

       

      8.3.           Term.

       

      Each
Option shall terminate, and all rights to purchase shares of Stock thereunder
shall cease, upon the expiration of ten years from the Grant
Date, or under such circumstances and on such date prior thereto as is set forth
in the Plan or as may be fixed by the Committee and stated in the related Award
Agreement (the “Termination Date”); provided, however, that in the
event that the Grantee is a Ten Percent Stockholder, an Option granted to such
Grantee that is intended to be an Incentive Stock Option at the Grant Date shall
not be exercisable after the expiration of five years from its Grant
Date.

      8.4.           Separation
from Service.

       

      Except as
otherwise provided in an Award Agreement, if a Grantee’s employment with or
service to the Company or Affiliate terminates for any reason other than Cause,
(i) Options granted to such Grantee, to the extent that they are exercisable at
the time of such termination, shall remain exercisable for a period of not more
than 90 days after such termination (one year in the case of termination by
reason of death or Disability), on which date they shall expire, and (ii)
Options granted to such Grantee, to the extent that they were not exercisable at
the time of such termination, shall expire on the date of such
termination.  In the event of the termination of a Grantee’s
employment or service for Cause, all outstanding Options granted to such Grantee
shall expire on the date of such termination.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, no Option shall be exercisable after the expiration of its
term.

       

      8.5.           Limitations
on Exercise of Option.

       

      Notwithstanding
any other provision of the Plan, in no event may any Option be exercised, in
whole or in part, (i) prior to the date the Plan is approved by the
stockholders of the Company as provided herein or (ii) after the occurrence
of an event referred to in Section 15 hereof which
results in termination of the Option.

       

      8.6.           Method
of Exercise.

       

      An Option
that is exercisable may be exercised by the Grantee’s delivery to the Company of
written notice of exercise on any business day, at the Company’s principal
office, on the form specified by the Company.  Such notice shall
specify the number of shares of Stock with respect to which the Option is being
exercised and shall be accompanied by payment in full of the Option Price of the
shares for which the Option is being exercised plus the amount (if any) of
federal and/or other taxes which the Company may, in its judgment, be required
to withhold with respect to an Award.  Except as otherwise provided by
the Committee, payments hereunder shall be made in cash or cash equivalents
acceptable to the Company.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein
to the contrary, the Committee may, solely in its discretion, approve payment in
whole or in part by an alternative method, including (i) by means of any
cashless exercise procedure approved by the Committee, (ii) in the form of
unrestricted shares of Stock already owned by the Grantee on the date of
surrender to the extent the shares of Stock have a Fair Market Value on the date
of surrender equal to the aggregate Option Price of the shares as to which such
Option shall be exercised, provided that, in the case of
an Incentive Stock Option, the right to make payment in the form of already
owned shares of Stock may be authorized only at the time of grant, or (iii) any
combination of the foregoing.

       

      8.7.           Rights
of Holders of Options.

       

      Unless
otherwise stated in the related Award Agreement, an individual holding or
exercising an Option shall have none of the rights of a stockholder (for
example, the right to receive cash or dividend payments or distributions
attributable to the subject shares of Stock or to direct the voting of the
subject shares of Stock ) until the shares of Stock covered thereby are fully
paid and issued to him. Except as provided in Section 15 hereof, no
adjustment shall be made for dividends, distributions or other rights for which
the record date is prior to the date of such issuance.

      8.8.           Delivery
of Stock Certificates.

       

      Promptly
after the exercise of an Option by a Grantee and the payment in full of the
Option Price, such Grantee shall be entitled to the issuance of a stock
certificate or certificates evidencing his or her ownership of the shares of
Stock subject to the Option.

       

      8.9.           Transferability
of Options.

       

      Except as
provided in Section 8.10, during the
lifetime of a Grantee, only the Grantee (or, in the event of legal incapacity or
incompetence, the Grantee’s guardian or legal representative) may exercise an
Option. Except as provided in Section 8.10, 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.

       

      8.10.           Family
Transfers.

       

      If
authorized in the applicable Award Agreement, a Grantee may transfer, not for
value, all or part of an Option which is not an Incentive Stock Option to any
Family Member. For the purpose of this Section 8.10, a “not for
value” transfer is a transfer which is (i) a gift, (ii) a transfer
under a domestic relations order in settlement of marital property rights; or
(iii) a transfer to an entity in which more than fifty percent of the
voting interests are owned by Family Members (or the Grantee) in exchange for an
interest in that entity. Following a transfer under this Section 8.10, any such
Option shall continue to be subject to the same terms and conditions as were
applicable immediately prior to transfer. Subsequent transfers of transferred
Options are prohibited except to Family Members of the original Grantee in
accordance with this Section 8.10 or by will
or the laws of descent and distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Committee may also provide that Options may be transferred to persons other than
Family Members. The events of termination of Service of Section 8.4 hereof shall
continue to be applied with respect to the original Grantee, following which the
Option shall be exercisable by the transferee only to the extent, and for the
periods specified, in Section 8.4.

       

      8.11.           Limitations
on Incentive Stock Options.

       

      An Option
shall constitute an Incentive Stock Option only (i) if the Grantee of such
Option 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 all
Incentive Stock Options held by such Grantee become exercisable for the first
time during any calendar year (under the Plan and all other plans of the
Grantee’s employer and its Affiliates) does not exceed $100,000. This limitation
shall be applied by taking Options into account in the order in which they were
granted.

      9.1.           Right
to Payment.

       

      A SAR
shall confer on the Grantee a right to receive, upon exercise thereof, the
excess of (i) the Fair Market Value of one share of Stock on the date of
exercise over (ii) the SAR Exercise Price, as determined by the Committee.
The Award Agreement for an SAR shall specify the SAR Exercise Price, which shall
be fixed on the Grant Date.  SARs may be granted alone or in
conjunction with all or part of an Option or at any subsequent time during the
term of such Option or in conjunction with all or part of any other Award. A SAR
granted in tandem with an outstanding Option following the Grant Date of such
Option may have a grant price that is equal to the Option Price.

       

      9.2.           Other
Terms.

       

      The Committee shall determine at the
Grant Date or thereafter, the time or times at which and the circumstances under
which a SAR may be exercised in whole or in part (including based on achievement
of performance goals and/or future service requirements), the time or times at
which SARs shall cease to be or become exercisable following termination of
Service or upon other conditions, the method of exercise, whether or not a SAR
shall be in tandem or in combination with any other Award, and any other terms
and conditions of any SAR.

       

      9.3.           Term of SARs.  The
term of a SAR granted under the Plan shall be determined by the Committee, in
its sole discretion; provided, however, that such term shall not exceed ten years.

       

      9.4.           Payment of SAR
Amount.  Upon exercise of a SAR, a Grantee shall be entitled to
receive payment from the Company in an amount determined by
multiplying:

       

      (i)   the
difference between the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of exercise over
the SAR Exercise Price; by

      

      (ii)   the
number of Shares with respect to which the SAR is exercised.

      

      SARs may
be settled in cash or Stock, as determined
by the Committee and set forth in the Award Agreement.

      10.1.           Restrictions.

       

      At the
time of grant, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, establish a period of
time (a “restricted period”) and any additional restrictions including the
satisfaction of corporate or individual performance objectives applicable to an
Award of Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units in accordance with Section 13.1 and 13.2. Each Award of Restricted
Stock or Restricted Stock Units may be subject to a different restricted period
and additional restrictions. Neither Restricted Stock nor Restricted Stock Units
may be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged or otherwise encumbered or disposed
of during the restricted period or prior to the satisfaction of any other
applicable restrictions.

      10.2.           Restricted
Stock Certificates.

       

      The
Company shall issue stock, in the name of each Grantee to whom Restricted Stock
has been granted, stock certificates or other evidence of ownership representing
the total number of shares of Restricted Stock granted to the Grantee, as soon
as reasonably practicable after the Grant Date. The Committee may provide in an
Award Agreement that either (i) the Secretary of the Company shall hold
such certificates for the Grantee’s benefit until such time as the Restricted
Stock is forfeited to the Company or the restrictions lapse, or (ii) such
certificates shall be delivered to the Grantee, provided, however, that such
certificates shall bear a legend or legends that comply with the applicable
securities laws and regulations and makes appropriate reference to the
restrictions imposed under the Plan and the Award Agreement.

       

      10.3.           Rights
of Holders of Restricted Stock.

       

      Unless
the Committee otherwise provides in an Award Agreement, holders 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 Committee 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 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 Award.

       

      10.4.           Rights
of Holders of Restricted Stock Units.

       

      
        10.4.1.
Settlement
of Restricted Stock Units.

      

       

      Restricted Stock Units may be settled
in cash or Stock, as determined by the Committee and set forth in the Award
Agreement. The Award Agreement shall also set forth whether the Restricted Stock
Units shall be settled (i) within the time period specified in Section 16.9.1 for short
term deferrals or (ii) otherwise within the requirements of
Section 409A, in which case the Award Agreement shall specify upon which
events such Restricted Stock Units shall be settled.

       

      
        10.4.2.
Voting
and Dividend Rights.

      

       

      Holders
of Restricted Stock Units shall have no rights as stockholders of the Company.
The Committee may provide in an Award Agreement that the holder of such
Restricted Stock Units shall be entitled to receive, upon the Company’s payment
of a cash dividend on its outstanding Stock, a cash payment for each Restricted
Stock Unit held equal to the per-share dividend paid on the Stock, which may be
deemed reinvested in additional Restricted Stock Units at a price per unit equal
to the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the date that such dividend is
paid to shareholders.

Creditor’s
Rights.

      

       

      A holder
of Restricted Stock Units shall have no rights other than those of a general
creditor of the Company. Restricted Stock Units represent an unfunded and
unsecured obligation of the Company, subject to the terms and conditions of the
applicable Award Agreement.

       

      10.5.           Termination
of Service.

       

      Unless
the Committee otherwise provides in an Award Agreement or in writing after the
Award Agreement is issued, upon the termination of a Grantee’s Service, any
Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units held by such Grantee that have not
vested, or with respect to which all applicable restrictions and conditions have
not lapsed, shall immediately be deemed forfeited, and the Grantee shall have no
further rights with respect to such Award.

       

      10.6.           Purchase
of Restricted Stock.

       

      The
Grantee shall be required, to the extent required by applicable law, to purchase
the Restricted Stock from the Company at a Purchase Price equal to the greater
of (i) the aggregate par value of the shares of Stock represented by such
Restricted Stock or (ii) the Purchase Price, if any, specified in the
related Award Agreement. If specified in the Award Agreement, the Purchase Price
may be deemed paid by Services already rendered. The Purchase Price shall be
payable in a form described in Section 12 or, in the
discretion of the Committee, in consideration for past Services
rendered.

       

      10.7.           Delivery
of Stock.

       

      Upon the
expiration or termination of any restricted period and the satisfaction of any
other conditions prescribed by the Committee, the restrictions applicable to
shares of Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units settled in Stock shall
lapse, and, unless otherwise provided in the Award Agreement, a stock
certificate for such shares shall be delivered, free of all such restrictions,
to the Grantee or the Grantee’s beneficiary or estate, as the case may
be.

      The
Committee may, in its sole discretion, grant (or sell at par value or such other
higher purchase price determined by the Committee) an Award of Unrestricted
Stock to any Grantee pursuant to which such Grantee may receive shares of Stock
free of any restrictions (“Unrestricted Stock”) under the Plan. Awards of
Unrestricted Stock may be granted or sold as described in the preceding sentence
in respect of past Services rendered and other valid consideration, or in lieu
of, or in addition to, any cash compensation due to such Grantee. Unless
otherwise provided by the Committee, Awards of Unrestricted Stock shall be paid
within the time period specified in Section 16.9.1 for
short-term deferrals.

STOCK

              

      

       

      12.1.           General
Rule.

       

      Payment
of the Option Price for the shares purchased pursuant to the exercise of an
Option or the Purchase Price for Restricted Stock shall be made in cash or in
cash equivalents acceptable to the Company, except as provided in this Section 12.

       

      12.2.           Surrender
of Stock.

       

      To the
extent the Award Agreement so provides, payment of the Option Price for shares
purchased pursuant to the exercise of an Option or the Purchase Price for
Restricted Stock may be made all or in part through the tender to the Company of
shares of Stock, which shares shall be valued, for purposes of determining the
extent to which the Option Price or Purchase Price has been paid thereby, at
their Fair Market Value on the date of exercise or surrender.

       

      12.3.           Cashless
Exercise.

       

      With
respect to an Option only (and not with respect to Restricted Stock), to the
extent permitted by law and to the extent the Award Agreement so provides,
payment of the Option Price may be made all or in part by delivery (on a form
acceptable to the Committee) of an irrevocable direction to a licensed
securities broker acceptable to the Company to sell shares of Stock and to
deliver all or part of the sales proceeds to the Company in payment of the
Option Price and any withholding taxes described in Section 16.3.

       

      12.4.           Other
Forms of Payment.

       

      To the extent the Award Agreement so
provides, payment of the Option Price or the Purchase Price may be made in any
other form that is consistent with applicable laws, regulations and
rules.

                TERMS
      AND CONDITIONS OF PERFORMANCE AND ANNUAL INCENTIVE
  AWARDS

              

      

       

      13.1.           Performance
Conditions.

       

      The right
of a Grantee to exercise or receive a grant or settlement of any Award, and the
timing thereof, may be subject to such performance conditions as may be
specified by the Committee. The Committee may use such business criteria and
other measures of performance as it may deem appropriate in establishing any
performance conditions, and may exercise its discretion to reduce the amounts
payable under any Award subject to performance conditions, except as limited
under Sections 13.2
hereof in the case of a Performance Award or Annual Incentive Award
intended to qualify under Code Section 162(m).

        13.2.           Performance
or Annual Incentive Awards Granted to Designated Covered
Employees.

      

       

      If and to
the extent that the Committee determines that a Performance or Annual Incentive
Award to be granted to a Grantee who is designated by the Committee as likely to
be a Covered Employee should qualify as “performance-based compensation” for
purposes of Code Section 162(m), the grant, exercise and/or settlement of
such Performance or Annual Incentive Award shall be contingent upon achievement
of pre-established performance goals and other terms set forth in this Section 13.2.

       

      
        13.2.1.
Performance
Goals Generally.

      

       

      The
performance goals for such Performance or Annual Incentive Awards shall consist
of one or more business criteria and a targeted level or levels of performance
with respect to each of such criteria, as specified by the Committee consistent
with this Section 13.2. Performance
goals shall be objective and shall otherwise meet the requirements of Code
Section 162(m) and regulations thereunder including the requirement that
the level or levels of performance targeted by the Committee result in the
achievement of performance goals being “substantially uncertain.” The Committee
may determine that such Performance or Annual Incentive Awards shall be granted,
exercised and/or settled upon achievement of any one performance goal or that
two or more of the performance goals must be achieved as a condition to grant,
exercise and/or settlement of such Performance or Annual Incentive Awards.
Performance goals may differ for Performance or Annual Incentive Awards granted
to any one Grantee or to different Grantees.

      
         

        13.2.2.
Business
Criteria.

      

       

      One or
more of the following business criteria for the Company, on a consolidated
basis, and/or specified subsidiaries or business units of the Company (except
with respect to the total stockholder return and earnings per share criteria),
shall be used exclusively by the Committee in establishing performance goals for
such Performance or Annual Incentive Awards: (i) total stockholder return;
(ii) such total stockholder return as compared to total return (on a
comparable basis) of a publicly available index such as, but not limited to, the
Standard & Poor’s 500 Stock Index; (iii) net income;
(iv) pretax earnings; (v) earnings before interest expense, taxes,
depreciation and amortization; (vi) pretax operating earnings after
interest expense and before bonuses, service fees, and extraordinary or special
items; (vii) operating margin; (viii) earnings per share;
(ix) return on equity; (x) return on capital; (xi) return on
investment; (xii) operating earnings; (xiii) working capital;
(xiv) ratio of debt to stockholders’ equity and
(xv) revenue.

      
         

        13.2.3.
Timing
for Establishing Performance Goals.

      

       

      Performance
goals shall be established not later than 90 days after the beginning of any
performance period applicable to such Performance or Annual Incentive Awards, or
at such other date as may be required or permitted for “performance-based
compensation” under Code Section 162(m).

        13.2.4.
Settlement
of Performance or Annual Incentive Awards; Other Terms.

      

       

      Settlement
of such Performance or Annual Incentive Awards shall be in cash, Stock, other
Awards or other property, in the discretion of the Committee. The Committee may,
in its discretion, reduce the amount of a settlement otherwise to be made in
connection with such Performance or Annual Incentive Awards. The Committee shall
specify the circumstances in which such Performance or Annual Incentive Awards
shall be paid or forfeited in the event of termination of Service by the Grantee
prior to the end of a performance period or settlement of Performance
Awards.

       

      13.3.           Written
Determinations.

       

      All
determinations by the Committee as to the establishment of performance goals,
the amount of any Performance Award pool or potential individual Performance
Awards and as to the achievement of performance goals relating to Performance
Awards, and the amount of any Annual Incentive Award pool or potential
individual Annual Incentive Awards and the amount of final Annual Incentive
Awards, shall be made in writing in the case of any Award intended to qualify
under Code Section 162(m). To the extent permitted by Code
Section 162(m), the Committee may delegate any responsibility relating to
such Performance Awards or Annual Incentive Awards.

       

      13.4.           Status
of Section 13.2 Awards Under Code Section 162(m).

       

      It is the
intent of the Company that Performance Awards and Annual Incentive Awards under
Section 13.2 hereof
granted to persons who are designated by the Committee as likely to be Covered
Employees within the meaning of Code Section 162(m) and regulations
thereunder shall, if so designated by the Committee, constitute “qualified
performance-based compensation” within the meaning of Code Section 162(m)
and regulations thereunder. Accordingly, the terms of Section 13.2, including
the definitions of Covered Employee and other terms used therein, shall be
interpreted in a manner consistent with Code Section 162(m) and regulations
thereunder. The foregoing notwithstanding, because the Committee cannot
determine with certainty whether a given Grantee will be a Covered Employee with
respect to a fiscal year that has not yet been completed, the term Covered
Employee as used herein shall mean only a person designated by the Committee, at
the time of grant of Performance Awards or an Annual Incentive Award, as likely
to be a Covered Employee with respect to that fiscal year. If any provision of
the Plan or any agreement relating to such Performance Awards or Annual
Incentive Awards does not comply or is inconsistent with the requirements of
Code Section 162(m) or regulations thereunder, such provision shall be
construed or deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such
requirements.

                REQUIREMENTS
      OF LAW

              

      

       

      14.1.           General.

       

      The
Company shall not be required to sell or issue any shares of Stock under any
Award if the sale or issuance of such shares would constitute a violation by the
Grantee, any other individual exercising an Option, or the Company of any
provision of any law or regulation of any governmental authority, including
without limitation any federal or state securities laws or regulations. If at
any time the Company shall determine, in its discretion, that the listing,
registration or qualification of any shares subject to an Award upon any
securities exchange or under any governmental regulatory body is necessary or
desirable as a condition of, or in connection with, the issuance or purchase of
shares hereunder, no shares of Stock may be issued or sold to the Grantee or any
other individual exercising an Option pursuant to such Award unless such
listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval shall have been
effected or obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to the Company, and
any delay caused thereby shall in no way affect the date of termination of the
Award. Specifically, in connection with the Securities Act, upon the exercise of
any Option or the delivery of any shares of Stock underlying an Award, unless a
registration statement under such Act is in effect with respect to the shares of
Stock covered by such Award, the Company shall not be required to sell or issue
such shares unless the Committee has received evidence satisfactory to it that
the Grantee or any other individual exercising an Option may acquire such shares
pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act. Any
determination in this connection by the Committee shall be final, binding, and
conclusive. The Company may, but shall in no event be obligated to, register any
securities covered hereby pursuant to the Securities Act. The Company shall not
be obligated to take any affirmative action in order to cause the exercise of an
Option or the issuance of shares of Stock pursuant to the Plan to comply with
any law or regulation of any governmental authority. As to any jurisdiction that
expressly imposes the requirement that an Option shall not be exercisable until
the shares of Stock covered by such Option are registered or are exempt from
registration, the exercise of such Option (under circumstances in which the laws
of such jurisdiction apply) shall be deemed conditioned upon the effectiveness
of such registration or the availability of such an exemption.

       

      14.2.           Rule
16b-3.

       

      During
any time when the Company has a class of equity security registered under
Section 12 of the Exchange Act, it is the intent of the Company that Awards
and the exercise of Options granted hereunder will qualify for the exemption
provided by Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act. To the extent that any provision
of the Plan or action by the Board or Committee does not comply with the
requirements of Rule 16b-3, it shall be deemed inoperative to the extent
permitted by law and deemed advisable by the Board, and shall not affect the
validity of the Plan. In the event that Rule 16b-3 is revised or replaced, the
Board may exercise its discretion to modify this Plan in any respect necessary
to satisfy the requirements of, or to take advantage of any features of, the
revised exemption or its replacement.

                EFFECT
      OF CHANGES IN CAPITALIZATION

              

      

       

      15.1.           Changes
in Stock.

       

      If the
number of outstanding shares of Stock is increased or decreased or the shares of
Stock are changed into or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or
other securities of the Company on account of any recapitalization,
reclassification, stock split, reverse split, 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 Company occurring after the Effective Date, the number and kinds of shares
for which grants of Options and other Awards may be made under the Plan shall be
adjusted proportionately and accordingly by the Company; provided that any such
adjustment shall comply with Section 409A. In addition, the number and kind
of shares for which Awards are outstanding shall be adjusted proportionately and
accordingly so that the proportionate interest of the Grantee immediately
following such event shall, to the extent practicable, be the same as
immediately before such event. Any such adjustment in outstanding Options or
SARs shall not change the aggregate Option Price or SAR Exercise Price payable
with respect to shares that are subject to the unexercised portion of an
outstanding Option or SAR, as applicable, but shall include a corresponding
proportionate adjustment in the Option Price or SAR Exercise Price per share.
The conversion of any convertible securities of the Company shall not be treated
as an increase in shares effected without receipt of consideration.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of any distribution to the Company’s
stockholders of securities of any other entity or other assets (including an
extraordinary cash dividend but excluding a non-extraordinary dividend payable
in cash or in stock of the Company) without receipt of consideration by the
Company, the Company shall in such manner as the Company deems appropriate,
adjust (i) the number and kind of shares subject to outstanding Awards
and/or (ii) the exercise price of outstanding Options and Stock
Appreciation Rights to reflect such distribution.

       

      15.2.           Definition
of Change in Control.

       

      Unless an
Award Agreement provides for a different meaning, a “Change in Control” shall
mean the occurrence of any of the following:

       

      
        
          	 
      	
                  (i)

                	
                  Any
      ‘person’ (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange
      Act) becomes the ‘beneficial owner’ (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under
      the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company
      representing more than fifty percent (50%)  of the total voting power
      represented by the Company’s then-outstanding voting securities, provided, however, that a
      Change in Control shall not be deemed to occur if an employee benefit plan
      (or a trust forming a part thereof) maintained by the Company, directly or
      indirectly, becomes the beneficial owner of more than fifty percent
      (50%) of the then-outstanding voting securities of the Company after
      such acquisition;

                

        

      

       

      
        	 
      	
                (ii)

              	
                A
      majority of the members of the Board is replaced during any 12-month
      period commencing on the Effective Date, by directors whose appointment or
      election is not endorsed by a majority of the members of the Board prior
      to the date of the appointment;

              

      

       

      
        	 
      	
                (iii)

              	
                The
      consummation of a merger or consolidation of the Company with any other
      corporation, other than a merger or consolidation which would result in
      (a) the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately
      prior thereto continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or
      being converted into voting securities of the surviving entity) at least
      fifty percent (50%) of the total voting power represented by the
      voting securities of the Company or such surviving entity outstanding
      immediately after such merger or consolidation; or (b) the directors
      of the Company immediately prior thereto continuing to represent at least
      fifty percent (50%) of the directors of the Company or such surviving
      entity immediately after such merger or consolidation;
  or

                (iv)

              	
                The
      consummation of the sale or disposition by the Company of all or
      substantially all of the Company’s
assets.

              

      

       

      Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if it is determined that an Award hereunder is subject to the
requirements of Section 409A, the Company will not be deemed to have undergone a
Change in Control unless the Company is deemed to have undergone a change in
control pursuant to the definition in Section 409A.

       

      15.3.           Effect
of Change in Control; Corporate Transactions

       

      The
Committee shall determine the effect of a Change in Control upon Awards, and
such effect may be set forth in the appropriate Award Agreement.  Unless an Award
Agreement explicitly provides otherwise, if the Company is to be consolidated
with or acquired by another entity in a merger, sale of all or substantially all
of the Company’s assets other than a transaction to merely change the state of
incorporation (a “Corporate Transaction”), the Committee or the board of
directors of any entity assuming the obligations of the Company hereunder (the
“Successor Board”), shall, as to outstanding Options and/or SARs, either
(i) make appropriate provision for the continuation of such Options and/or
SARs by substituting on an equitable basis for the Shares then subject to such
Options and/or SARs either the consideration payable with respect to the
outstanding shares of Common Stock in connection with the Corporate Transaction
or securities of any successor or acquiring entity; or (ii) upon written
notice to the Grantees, provide that all Options and/or SARs must be exercised
(either to the extent then exercisable or, at the discretion of the Committee
or, upon a change of control of the Company, all Options and/or SARs being made
fully exercisable for purposes of this Section 15.3), within a specified number
of days of the date of such notice, at the end of which period the Options
and/or SARs shall terminate; or (iii) terminate all Options and/or SARs in
exchange for a cash payment equal to the excess of the Fair Market Value of the
Shares subject to such Options and/or SARs (either to the extent then
exercisable or, at the discretion of the Committee, all Options and/or SARs
being made fully exercisable for purposes of this Section 15.3) over the
exercise price thereof.

       

      Unless an
Award Agreement explicitly provides otherwise, with respect to outstanding
grants of Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units and/or Unrestricted Stock,
the Committee or the Successor Board, shall either (i) make appropriate
provisions for the continuation of such grants of Restricted Stock, Restricted
Stock Units and/or Unrestricted Stock by substituting on an equitable basis for
the Shares then subject to such Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units and/or
Unrestricted Stock either the consideration payable with respect to the
outstanding Shares of Common Stock in connection with the Corporate Transaction
or securities of any successor or acquiring entity; or (ii) upon written notice
to the Grantees, provide that all grants of Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock
Units and/or Unrestricted Stock must be accepted (to the extent then subject to
acceptance) within a specified number of days of the date of such notice, at the
end of which period the offer of the Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units
and/or Unrestricted Stock shall terminate; or (iii) terminate all grants of
Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units and/or Unrestricted Stock in exchange
for a cash payment equal to the excess of the Fair Market Value of the Shares
subject to such Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units and/or Unrestricted
Stock over the purchase price thereof, if any.  In addition, in the
event of a Corporate Transaction, the Administrator may waive any or all Company
repurchase rights with respect to outstanding Restricted Stock and/or Restricted
Stock Units.

      15.4.           Reorganization
Which Does Not Constitute a Change in Control.

       

      If the
Company undergoes any reorganization, merger, or consolidation of the Company
with one or more other entities which does not constitute a Change in Control,
any Option or SAR 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 Option or SAR would have been entitled immediately following
such reorganization, merger, or consolidation, with a corresponding
proportionate adjustment of the Option Price or SAR Exercise Price per share so
that the aggregate Option Price or SAR Exercise Price thereafter shall be the
same as the aggregate Option Price or SAR Exercise Price of the shares remaining
subject to the Option or SAR immediately prior to such reorganization, merger,
or consolidation. Subject to any contrary language in an Award Agreement, any
restrictions applicable to such Award shall apply as well to any replacement
shares received by the Grantee as a result of the reorganization, merger or
consolidation.

       

      15.5.           Adjustments.

       

      Adjustments
under this Section 15 related to
shares of Stock or securities of the Company shall be made by the Committee,
whose determination in that respect shall be final, binding and conclusive. No
fractional shares or 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.

       

      15.6.           No
Limitations on Company.

       

      The
making of Awards pursuant to the Plan shall not affect or limit in any way the
right or power of the Company 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.

      PROVISIONS

              

      

       

      16.1.           Disclaimer
of Rights.

       

      No
provision in the Plan or in any Award Agreement shall be construed to confer
upon any individual the right to remain in the employ or service of the Company
or any Affiliate, or to interfere in any way with any contractual or other right
or authority of the Company either to increase or decrease the compensation or
other payments to any individual at any time, or to terminate any employment or
other relationship between any individual and the Company. In addition,
notwithstanding anything contained in the Plan to the contrary, unless otherwise
stated in the applicable Award Agreement, no Award granted under the Plan shall
be affected by any change of duties or position of the Grantee, so long as such
Grantee continues to be a Service Provider, if applicable. The obligation of the
Company to pay any benefits pursuant to this Plan shall be interpreted as a
contractual obligation to pay only those amounts described herein, in the manner
and under the conditions prescribed herein. The Plan shall in no way be
interpreted to require the Company to transfer any amounts to a third party

      16.2.           Nonexclusivity
of the Plan.

       

      Neither
the adoption of the Plan nor the submission of the Plan to the stockholders of
the Company 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
particular individuals), including, without limitation, the granting of stock
options as the Board in its discretion determines desirable.

       

      16.3.           Withholding
Taxes.

       

      The
Company or an Affiliate, as the case may be, shall have the right to deduct from
payments of any kind otherwise due to a Grantee any federal, state, or local
taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld (i) with respect to the
vesting of or other lapse of restrictions applicable to an Award, (ii) upon
the issuance of any shares of Stock upon the exercise of an Option, or
(iii) pursuant to an Award. At the time of such vesting, lapse, or
exercise, the Grantee shall pay to the Company or the Affiliate, as the case may
be, any amount that the Company or the Affiliate may reasonably determine to be
necessary to satisfy such withholding obligation. Subject to the prior approval
of the Company or the Affiliate, which may be withheld by the Company or the
Affiliate, as the case may be, in its sole discretion, the Grantee may elect to
satisfy such obligations, in whole or in part, (i) by causing the Company
or the Affiliate to withhold shares of Stock otherwise issuable to the Grantee
or (ii) by delivering to the Company or the Affiliate shares of Stock
already owned by the Grantee. The shares of Stock so delivered or withheld shall
have an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to such withholding obligations. The
Fair Market Value of the shares of Stock used to satisfy such withholding
obligation shall be determined by the Company or the Affiliate as of the date
that the amount of tax to be withheld is to be determined. A Grantee who has
made an election pursuant to this Section 16.3 may satisfy
his or her withholding obligation only with shares of Stock that are not subject
to any repurchase, forfeiture, unfulfilled vesting, or other similar
requirements.

       

      16.4.           Captions.

       

      The use
of captions in this Plan or any Award Agreement is for the convenience of
reference only and shall not affect the meaning of any provision of the Plan or
any Award Agreement.

       

      16.5.           Other
Provisions.

       

      Each
Award Agreement may contain such other terms and conditions not inconsistent
with the Plan as may be determined by the Committee, in its sole
discretion.

       

      16.6.           Number
and Gender.

       

      With
respect to words used in this Plan, the singular form shall include the plural
form, the masculine gender shall include the feminine gender, etc., as the
context requires.

      16.7.           Severability.

       

      If any
provision of the Plan or any Award Agreement shall be determined to be illegal
or unenforceable by any court of law in any jurisdiction, the remaining
provisions hereof and thereof shall be severable and enforceable in accordance
with their terms, and all provisions shall remain enforceable in any other
jurisdiction.

       

      16.8.           Governing
Law.

       

      The
validity and construction of this Plan and the instruments evidencing the Awards
hereunder shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard
to any choice of law principles thereof or of any other
jurisdiction.

       

      16.9.           Section 409A.

       

      
        16.9.1.
Short-Term
Deferrals.

      

       

      For each
Award intended to comply with the short-term deferral exception provided for
under Section 409A, the related Award Agreement shall provide that such
Award shall be paid out by the later of (i) the 15th day of
the third month following the Grantee’s first taxable year in which the Award is
no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture or (ii) the 15th day of
the third month following the end of the Company’s first taxable year in which
the Award is no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture.

       

      
        16.9.2.
Adjustments.

      

       

      To the
extent that the Board determines that a Grantee would be subject to the
additional 20% tax imposed on certain deferred compensation arrangements
pursuant to Section 409A as a result of any provision of any Award, to the
extent permitted by Section 409A, such provision shall be deemed amended to
the minimum extent necessary to avoid application of such additional tax. The
Board shall determine the nature and scope of such amendment.

       

      16.10.           Stockholder
Approval; Effective Date of Plan.

       

      The Plan
shall be effective as of November 12, 2008, the date of its approval by the
Board (the "Effective Date").  Any Option that is designated as an
Incentive Stock Option shall be a Non-Qualified Stock Option if the Plan is not
approved by the shareholders of the Company within twelve (12) months after the
Effective Date of the Plan.  No award that is intended to qualify as
performance-based compensation within the meaning of section 162(m) of the Code
shall be effective unless and until the Plan is approved by the stockholders of
the Company.
