Forest Oil Corporation

2007 Annual Incentive
Plan

 

Summary

 

 

Plan Objectives

 

The Annual Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) has been designed to meet the
following objectives:

 

•                  Provide an
annual incentive plan framework that is performance-driven and focused on
objectives that are critical to the Company’s success.

 

•                  Offer
competitive cash compensation opportunities to all key employees.

 

•                  Reward
outstanding achievement.

 

Basic Plan Concept

 

The Plan generally provides annual incentive awards, which will be
determined primarily on the basis of the Company’s consolidated results on
selected financial, operating and other performance measures.  However, business unit or department performance
and individual performance will also be considered in determining the actual
participant award payout.  Therefore, the
Company shall have the flexibility to adjust individual awards to reflect
individual or team performance.

 

Performance Measures and
Weights

 

Each year the Company will establish the threshold, target and
outstanding performance levels on each performance measure and its appropriate
weighting.  These performance measures
and their weighting will be reviewed (and modified, if appropriate) in light of
changing Company priorities and strategic objectives.

 

The recommended 2007 Company performance measures and
their respective weightings are described in detail in Attachment I.

 

Plan Administration

 

The Plan will be administered by the Compensation Committee (“Committee”)
of the Board of Directors and the President and Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”)
(for all positions except his own). 
Certain elements of the Plan administration will be delegated to the
senior Human Resources executive of the Company.  The Executive Vice President and Chief
Financial Officer will verify the performance calculation for the performance
and operating measures in consultation with the Senior Vice President,
Corporate Planning and Development who shall be responsible for the estimation
of the Company’s oil and gas reserves.

 

 

 

Actual performance goals, standards, award determinations and
modifications to the Plan design must be approved by the Committee.

Once the total bonus pool has been established
following the performance calculations, the President & CEO shall have the
discretion to distribute bonus monies within business units and the corporate
group or to move monies from one group to another, and to allocate incentive
monies to individuals, based on his assessment (with advice of other senior
managers) as to individual or group performance.

 

Targets

 

Targets for the total Plan will be set consistent with the following:

 

•                  Threshold —
Minimum level at which payout occurs. 
The threshold percentage is 25% of the target award percentage.

 

•                  Target — Level
at which the participant receives the target award percentage.

 

•                  Outstanding —
Level at which the participant receives 200% of the target award percentage.

 

Completion percentages between Threshold, Target and Outstanding will
be determined, with the exception of Total Shareholder Return, by
interpolation.  Completion for results
above Outstanding will be directly proportional to the change in completion
between Target and Outstanding.

 

The Completion Percentage for Total Shareholder Return is defined in
the section describing the Total Shareholder Return measure.  Targets shall be adjusted for material
changes made during the year to the business plan or scope thereof, or to the
capital expenditure budget.

 

Maximum Completion

 

Although there will be no limit on completion of individual financial
measures, completion for the total Plan will be limited to 200% of target.

 

Performance Levels

 

Performance levels will be set for individual measures.  Results below the Threshold will equate to a
zero completion percentage.

 

 

 

A minimum 25% completion threshold is required for the total Plan.

 

Completion Calculation

 

Completion for total financial measures will be the sum of the weighted
completion for each individual measure. 
Completion for each individual measure will be equal to the completion
percentage of each measure times the weighting for that measure.

 

Property Sales

 

In computing results, non-budgeted property sales are not to be
considered.  To avoid non-budgeted
property sales from affecting results, they will be incorporated into
performance measures as though they had been budgeted.

 

Participants

 

The CEO shall determine which employees are to be participants in the
Plan.  If a participant’s employment with
the Company is terminated for any reason prior to payment, no bonus
award will be paid.

 

The target award percentage for the CEO is established by the
Committee. Target award percentages for Company officers are subject to the
approval of the Committee. The CEO is authorized to establish and adjust at his
discretion the target award percentages for non-officer Plan participants. Plan
participants who change positions and/or have their individual target incentive
levels changed during the Plan year will have their award prorated accordingly.  All awards paid will be rounded to the
nearest $100.

 

Incentive compensation awards will be calculated based upon the
participant’s base salary in effect at the end of the Plan year or earned
salary if the participant was a new hire during the year.

 

Board of Directors’
Discretion

 

The granting of any and
all incentive compensation awards is at the discretion of the Forest Oil
Corporation Board of Directors.

 

 

 

Forest Oil Corporation

Financial Measure

Total Shareholder Return

 

 

Objective

 

Measure Total Return to Shareholders relative to a peer group.

 

Definition

 

Total Return to Shareholders equals year-end share price plus common
dividends per share paid (plus capital returned to shareholders through share
repurchase) during the Plan year minus the beginning share price divided by
beginning share price.

 

Share Price

 

Year-end share price shall be defined as the closing price on the last
trading day in December of each year. 
The beginning share price shall be defined as the closing price on the
last trading day in December of the prior year (2006).

 

In the event either the Company or a member of the peer group is
acquired for cash, the year-end share price shall be defined as the cash
purchase price per share.  If a member of
the peer group is acquired for stock, the year-end share price shall be defined
as the exchange ratio multiplied by the closing price of the acquirer on the
last trading day of the year.  In an
acquisition involving both cash and stock, each component of the purchase price
will be measured as described above to calculate a pro forma year-end stock
price.

 

Peer Group

 

The peer group shall comprise companies selected by the Committee that
reflect the size, operational complexities and business challenges faced by
Forest Oil.

 

Completion Percentage

 

The Completion Percentage will be determined based on the Company’s
ranking among the selected peer companies with regard to Total Shareholder
Return as detailed in Attachment 1A.

Financial Measure

Cash Cost

 

 

Objective

 

Measure cash cost on an annual basis.

 

Definition

 

Corporate:  The
sum of direct operating expense and expensed workovers, but excluding ad
valorem taxes, transportation expense and total expensed G&A for the
Company, divided by total production for the Company measured in MCFE.

 

Business Unit:  The sum of direct
operating expense and expensed workovers, but excluding ad valorem taxes,
transportation expense, allocated corporate G&A expense for the business
unit, and total expensed G&A administrative costs for the Company, divided
by production for the business unit measured in MCFE.

 

Cash Cost excludes production severance
taxes.  Additionally, the calculation of
Cash Cost for the Canadian business unit shall be calculated at the Plan
exchange rate ignoring any variance between the actual exchange rate and the
exchange rate assumed in the Plan.

 

Targets

 

Measured against an approved Annual Plan with:

 

•                  Threshold equal
to achievement of 105% of Business Plan objective (Attachment 1B)

 

•                  Target equal to
achievement of 100% of Business Plan objective (Attachment 1B)

 

•                  Outstanding

Financial Measure

Acquisitions

 

 

Objective

 

Measure on a yearly basis the amount of oil and gas, converted to Bcfe,
acquired by the Company.

 

Definition

 

The target objective for 2007 Acquisitions is
to replace the 2007 Production target.

 

Acquisitions are calculated by adding the volumetric
amount of estimated proved reserves acquired by any method by the Company in
2007.

 

Targets

 

•                  Threshold is an
amount shown on Attachment 1C.

 

•                  Target is an
amount shown on Attachment 1C.

 

•                  Outstanding is

Operating
Measure

Production

 

 

Objective

 

Measure net production on
an annual basis.

 

Definition

 

Net production equals
total net production (after royalty and other burdens) equal to that set forth
in the annual Business Plan.

 

Should a business unit
overspend budgeted Capex significantly, the Production target will either be
proportionately adjusted or the target level will become the threshold for
payout under this measure.

 

The calculation of net
production volumes for the Canadian business unit shall be calculated as if
Plan oil and gas prices were experienced, with no volume adjustments being made
for higher or lower prices.

 

Targets

 

Measured against an approved Annual Plan with:

 

•                  Threshold equal
to achievement of 95% of Business Plan objective (Attachment 1D).

 

•                  Target equal to
achievement of 100% of Business Plan objective (Attachment 1D).

 

•                  Outstanding
equal to achievement of 110% of Business Plan objective (Attachment 1D).

capital projects.

 

Definition

 

Pre-tax rate-of-return on all capital projects during the year
including drilling projects, acquisitions, recompletions, land lease, seismic
and capitalized G&A.  The price
assumptions to be utilized will be those utilized for the Investment Results

connection with an acquisition.  In
evaluating the accomplishment of this objective, the Compensation Committee
will take into account all revisions to estimated proved reserves made in 2007.

Pool.  The maximum aggregate number

hundred-fifty thousand (750,000) Shares.  The Shares may be authorized, but unissued,
or reacquired Common Stock.

(b)           Lapsed Awards. 
If an Award expires or becomes unexercisable without having been
exercised in full, is surrendered pursuant to an Exchange Program, or, with
respect to Performance Shares, Performance Units, Restricted Stock or
Restricted Stock Units, is forfeited to or repurchased by the Company due to
failure to vest, the unpurchased Shares (or for Awards other than Options or
Stock Appreciation Rights the forfeited or repurchased Shares) which were

returned to the Plan and will not become available for future distribution
under the Plan; provided, however, that if Shares issued pursuant to Awards are
repurchased by the Company or are forfeited to the Company due to their failure
to vest, such Shares will become available for future grant under the Plan.  Shares used to pay the exercise price of an
Award or to satisfy the minimum statutory withholding obligations related to an
Award will not become

available for future grant or sale under the
Plan.  To the extent an Award under the
Plan is paid out in cash rather than Shares, such cash payment will not result
in reducing the number of Shares available for issuance under the Plan.

4.     Administration.  The Plan will be administered by (A) the Board or

Plan; (iii) to prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating
to the Plan, including the ability to accelerate the vesting of awards granted
to Outside Directors who will not stand for reelection; (iv) to make such other
determinations and take such other actions as permitted under the Plan; (v) to determine
the terms and conditions of any, and, with the approval of the shareholders if
necessary, to institute any Exchange Program and (vi) to make all other determinations deemed
necessary or advisable for administering the Plan.  The Administrator’s decisions, determinations
and interpretations will be final and binding on all Participants and any other
holders of Awards.

5.     Grants of
Awards under the Plan.

(a)           Procedure for Grants.  All
grants of Awards to Outside Directors under this Plan shall be made strictly in
accordance with the following provisions:

(b)           Type of Option.  If Options are granted pursuant to the Plan
they will be Nonstatutory Stock Options and, except as otherwise provided
herein, will be subject to the other terms and conditions of the Plan.

(c)           Eligibility
for Awards.  An Outside Director is
eligible for Awards under the Plan (is an “Eligible Outside Director”) if such
person:

(i)    is first elected as an Outside Director on
or following the date this Plan is adopted by the Board; or

(ii)   is designated by the Board of Directors as an
Eligible Outsider Director.

(d)           Initial Option Award.  Each person who first becomes an Outside
Director on or following the date this Plan is adopted by the Board will
automatically be granted an Option to purchase fifty thousand (50,000) Shares
(the “Initial Option  Award”) upon
the later of (x) the date such person first becomes an Outside Director,
whether through election by the shareholders of the Company or appointment by
the Board to fill a vacancy and (y) the date that the Plan is approved by the shareholders
of the Company; provided, however, that an Inside Director who ceases to be an
Inside Director, but who remains a Director, will not receive an Initial Option  Award.

(e)           Annual Option  Award.  Each Eligible Outside Director will be
automatically granted an Option to purchase twelve thousand (12,000) Shares (an
“Annual 

 

5

 

Option Award”) on the date of each Annual General
Meeting of the Company beginning in 2007, if as of such date, such Eligible Outside
Director has served on the Board for at least the preceding six (6) months.

(f)            Terms.  The terms of each Award granted pursuant to
the Plan will be as follows:

(i)    If the
Award is an Option, the term of the Award will be ten (10) years; provided, however,
that the Option may expire earlier pursuant to Section 8 hereof.

(ii)   To the
extent not in conflict with the terms of this Section, the other terms and
conditions of the Plan will apply to Awards granted pursuant to this Section.

(g)           Acceleration
of Awards.  If
a Participant’s status as a Service Provider terminates as result of the
Participant’s death or Disability, each outstanding Award granted to the
Participant under the Plan shall be immediately vested in full as of the date
of such termination.

(h)           Form and Timing
of Payment.  Payment of
earned Performance Units or Restricted Stock Units granted under the Plan will
be made as soon as practicable after the applicable vesting date.  On the date set forth in the Award Agreement,
all unvested Performance Units or Restricted Stock Units will be forfeited to
the Company.

(i)            Amendment.  The Administrator in its discretion may
change and otherwise revise the terms of Awards granted under this Plan for
Awards granted on or after the date the Administrator determines to make any
such change or revision, including, without limitation, the allocation between
types of equity Awards, the number of Shares subject to such Awards, the
vesting schedule and the exercise or purchase price thereof.  The Administrator will determine from time to
time whether other service by Directors on committees of the Board not covered
by the Plan warrants grants of Awards for such service, and will have the power
and authority to modify the Plan from time to time to establish non-discretionary,
automatic award grants to be made to such committee members on such terms and
at such times as the Administrator will determine.

6.             Consideration.  The consideration to be paid for the Shares to be
issued upon exercise of an Award or the purchase of Shares thereunder shall
consist entirely of: (i) cash; (ii) check; (iii) other Shares, provided that
such Shares have a Fair Market Value on the date of surrender
equal to the aggregate exercise or purchase price of the Shares as to which
such Awards shall be exercised and provided that accepting such Shares, in the
sole discretion of the Administrator, shall not result in any adverse
accounting consequences to the Company; (iv) consideration received by the Company under a
broker-assisted (or other) cashless exercise program implemented by the Company
in connection with the Plan; (v) such other consideration and method of payment
for the issuance of Shares to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws; or (vi)
any combination of the foregoing methods of payment.

 

6

 

7.             Exercise of Options or Stock
Appreciation Rights.  Any Option or Stock Appreciation Right
granted hereunder will be exercisable as set forth in Section 5 hereof;
provided, however, that no Option or Stock Appreciation Right shall be
exercisable until shareholder approval of the Plan in accordance with Section
25 hereof has been obtained.  An Option
or Stock Appreciation Right may not be exercised for a fraction of a Share.

An Option or Stock Appreciation Right will be deemed
exercised when the Company receives: (i) notice of exercise (in such form
as the Administrator specify from time to time) from the person entitled to
exercise the Option, and (ii) full payment for the Shares with respect to
which the Option or Stock Appreciation Right is exercised (together with
applicable tax withholdings).  Full
payment may consist of any consideration and method of payment authorized under
the Plan and Applicable Law.  Shares
issued upon exercise of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right will be issued in
the name of the Participant or, if requested by the Participant, in the name of
the Participant and his or her spouse. 
Until the Shares are issued (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on
the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the
Company), no right to vote or receive dividends or any other rights as a
shareholder will exist with respect to the Shares subject to an Option or Stock
Appreciation Right, notwithstanding the exercise of the Option or Stock
Appreciation Right, as applicable.  The
Company will issue (or cause to be issued) such Shares promptly after the
Option or Stock Appreciation Right, as applicable is exercised.  No adjustment will be made for a dividend or
other right for which the record date is prior to the date the Shares are
issued.

Exercising an Option or Stock
Appreciation Right in any manner will decrease the number of Shares thereafter
available, both for purposes of the Plan and for sale under the Option or Stock Appreciation Right, as
applicable, by the number of Shares as to
which the Option or Stock Appreciation Right is exercised.

8.             Termination of Status as a Service
Provider.

(a)           Termination of Relationship as a
Service Provider.  If a Participant ceases
to be a Service Provider, other
than termination as a result of the Participant’s death or Disability, the Participant may exercise his or
her Option or Stock Appreciation Right, as applicable, within ninety (90) days
following such termination to the extent that the Option or Stock Appreciation
Right, as applicable, is vested on the date of termination (but in no event
later than the expirationof the term of such Award, as set forth in the Award
Agreement).  If on the date of
termination the Participant is not vested as to his or her entire Option or
Stock Appreciation Right, as applicable, the Shares covered by the unvested
portion of the Award will revert to the Plan. 
If after termination the Participant does not exercise his or her Option
or Stock Appreciation Right, as applicable, within the above-specified time
period, the Award will terminate, and the Shares covered by such Award will
revert to the Plan.

(b)           Death or Disability of Participant.  If a Participant ceases to be a Service Provider as a result of the
Participant’s death or Disability, the Option or Stock Appreciation Right, as
applicable, may be exercised following the Participant’s termination within six
(6) months  following the date of such termination
to the extent that the Option or Stock Appreciation Right, as applicable, is
vested on the date of termination (but in no event later than the expiration

7

 

of the term of such Award as set forth in the Award
Agreement), by the Participant or, in the case of the Participant’s death, the
Participant’s designated beneficiary, provided such beneficiary has been
designated prior to Participant’s death in a form acceptable to the
Administrator.  If no such beneficiary
has been designated by the Participant, then such Award may be exercised by the
personal representative of the Participant’s estate or by the person(s) to whom
the Award is transferred pursuant to the Participant’s will or in accordance
with the laws of descent and distribution. 
If the Option or Stock Appreciation Right, as applicable, is not so
exercised within the above-specified time period, the Option will terminate,
and the Shares covered by such Award will revert to the Plan.

9.             Options.

(a)           Grant of Options.  Subject to the terms and provisions of the
Plan and pursuant to Section 5(i), the Administrator, may change or add

discretion, will determine.

(b)           Terms.  The terms of each Option granted pursuant to

last day of the month, if there is no corresponding date); as to an additional
one-third (1/3rd) of the Shares subject to the Option on the second annual anniversary
of the date of grant thereafter (or on the last day of the month, if there is
no corresponding date); and as to an final one-third (1/3rd) of the Shares
subject to the Option on the third annual anniversary of the date of grant
thereafter (or on the last day of the month, if there is no corresponding

Provider through each applicable vesting date.

(iv)  Subject to
Section 5(g) and Section 18, each Annual Option  Award
will vest and become exercisable as to one hundred percent (100%) of the Shares
subject to the Option on the earlier of the next Annual General Meeting or the

through such date.

(c)           Option

(d)           Expiration of Options.  An Option granted under the Plan will expire
upon the date determined by the Administrator, in its sole discretion, and set
forth in the Award Agreement. 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the rules of Section 8 also will
apply to Options.

10.          Restricted Stock.

(a)           Grant
of Restricted Stock.  Subject to the
terms and provisions of the Plan and pursuant to Section 5(i), the
Administrator, may change or add automatic Awards granted pursuant to Section 5
to include Awards of Restricted Stock in such amounts as the Administrator, in
its sole discretion, will determine.

(b)           Restricted
Stock Agreement.  Each Award of
Restricted Stock will be evidenced by an Award Agreement that will specify the
vesting criteria, number of Shares granted, and such other terms and conditions
as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, will determine; provided,
however, that an Award of Restricted Stock shall not be fully vested before a
period of restriction (“Period of Restriction”) of a minimum of three (3)
years.  Vesting shall be no more
favorable than pro rata and occur as to no more than 1/3rd of the number of the
Shares on each one-year anniversary of the grant date.  Unless the Administrator determines
otherwise, the Company as escrow agent will hold Shares of Restricted Stock
until the restrictions on such Shares have lapsed.

(c)           Other
Restrictions.  The Administrator, in
its sole discretion, may impose such other restrictions on Shares of Restricted
Stock as it may deem advisable or appropriate.

(d)           Removal
of Restrictions.  Except as otherwise

Administrator determines otherwise.

(f)            Dividends
and Other Distributions.  During the
Period of Restriction, Participants holding Shares of Restricted Stock will be
entitled to receive all dividends and other distributions paid with respect to
such Shares, unless the Administrator provides otherwise.  If any such dividends or distributions are
paid in Shares, the Shares will be subject to the same restrictions on
transferability and forfeitability as the Shares of Restricted Stock with
respect to which they were paid.

(g)           Return
of Restricted Stock to Company.  On
the date set forth in the Award Agreement, the Restricted Stock for which
restrictions have not lapsed will revert to the Company and again will become
available for grant under the Plan.

11.          Restricted Stock Units.

(a)           Grant.  Subject to the terms and provisions of
the Plan and pursuant to Section 5(i), the Administrator, may change or add
automatic Awards granted pursuant to Section 5 to include different or
additional Awards of Restricted Stock Units in such amounts as the
Administrator, in its sole discretion, will determine.

(b)           Restricted
Stock Unit Agreement.  Each Award of Restricted Stock Units will be
evidenced by an Award Agreement that will specify the vesting criteria, the
number of Shares granted, and such other terms and conditions as the
Administrator, in its sole discretion, will determine.

(c)           Vesting
Criteria and Other Terms.  The Administrator will set
vesting criteria in its discretion, which, depending on the extent to which the
criteria are met, will determine the number of Restricted Stock Units that will
be paid out to the Participant.  The
Administrator may set vesting criteria based upon the achievement of
Company-wide, business unit, or individual goals (including, but not limited
to, continued employment or status as a
Service Provider), or any other basis determined by the Administrator in
its discretion.  An Award of Restricted
Stock Units shall not be fully vested until a minimum period of three (3) years
from the date of grant.  Vesting shall be
no more favorable than pro rata and occur as to no more than 1/3rd of the
number of the Shares on each one-year anniversary of the grant date.

(d)           Form and Timing of Payment.  Upon meeting the applicable vesting criteria,
the Participant will be entitled to receive a payout as determined by the
Administrator.  Payment of earned
Restricted Stock Units will be made as soon as practicable after the date(s)
determined by the Administrator and set forth in the Award Agreement.  The Administrator, in its sole discretion,
may only settle earned Restricted Stock Units in cash, Shares, or a combination
of both.

(e)           Cancellation.  On the date set forth in the Award Agreement,
all unearned Restricted Stock Units will be forfeited to the Company.

12.          Stock
Appreciation Rights.

(a)           Grant
of Stock Appreciation Rights. 
Subject to the terms and provisions of the Plan and pursuant to Section
5(i), the Administrator, may change or add automatic Awards granted pursuant to
Section 5 to include Awards of Stock Appreciation Rights.

(b)           Stock
Appreciation Right Agreement.  Each
Stock Appreciation Right grant will be evidenced by an Award Agreement that
will specify the exercise price, the term of the Stock Appreciation Right, the
conditions of exercise, and such other terms and conditions as the
Administrator, in its sole discretion, will determine.

(c)           Exercise
Price.  The per share exercise price
for the Shares to be issued pursuant to exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right
will be one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value on the date of
grant.

(d)           Expiration
of Stock Appreciation Rights.  A
Stock Appreciation Right granted under the Plan will expire upon the date
determined by the Administrator, in its sole

10

 

discretion,
and set forth in the Award Agreement. 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the rules of Section 8 also will
apply to Stock Appreciation Rights.

(e)           Payment
of Stock Appreciation Right Amount. 
Upon exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right, a Participant will 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 exercise price; times

(ii)   The number
of Shares with respect to which the Stock Appreciation Right is exercised.

At the discretion of the Administrator, the payment upon Stock
Appreciation Right exercise may be in cash, in Shares of equivalent value, or
in some combination thereof.

13.          Performance Units and Performance
Shares.

(a)           Grant of Performance Units/Shares. 
Performance Units and Performance Shares may be granted to Service
Providers at any time and from time to time, as will be determined by the
Administrator, in its sole discretion. 
The Administrator will have complete discretion in determining the
number of Performance Units and Performance Shares granted to each Participant.

(b)           Value of Performance Units/Shares. 
Each Performance Unit will have an initial value that is established by
the Administrator on or before the date of grant.  Each Performance Share will have an initial
value equal to the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant.

(c)           Performance Objectives and Other Terms. 
The Administrator will set performance objectives or other vesting provisions
(including, without limitation, continued status as a Service Provider) in its
discretion which, depending on the extent to which they are met, will determine
the number or value of Performance Units/Shares that will be paid out to the
Service Providers.  The time period
during which the performance objectives or other vesting provisions must be met
will be called the “Performance Period.” 
The duration of a Performance Period shall be no less than three (3)
years.  Vesting shall be no more favorable
than pro rata and occur as to no more than 1/3rd of the number of the Shares on
each one-year anniversary of the grant date. 
Each Award of Performance Units/Shares will be evidenced by an Award
Agreement that will specify the Performance Period, and such other terms and
conditions as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, will determine.  The Administrator may set performance
objectives based upon the achievement of Company-wide, divisional, or
individual goals, applicable federal or state securities laws, or any other
basis determined by the Administrator in its discretion.

(d)           Earning of Performance
Units/Shares.  After the applicable
Performance Period has ended, the holder of Performance Units/Shares will be
entitled to receive a payout of the number of Performance Units/Shares earned
by the Participant over the Performance Period,

11

 

to be determined as a function of the extent to which
the corresponding performance objectives or other vesting provisions have been
achieved.  After the grant of a
Performance Unit/Share, the Administrator, in its sole discretion, may reduce
or waive any performance objectives or other vesting provisions for such
Performance Unit/Share.

(e)           Form and Timing of Payment of
Performance Units/Shares.  Payment of
earned Performance Units/Shares will be made as soon as practicable after the
expiration of the applicable Performance Period.  The Administrator, in its sole discretion,
may pay earned Performance Units/Shares in the form of cash, in Shares (which
have an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to the value of the earned
Performance Units/Shares at the close of the applicable Performance Period) or
in a combination thereof.

(f)            Cancellation of Performance
Units/Shares.  On the date set forth
in the Award Agreement, all unearned or unvested Performance Units/Shares will
be forfeited to the Company, and again will be available for grant under the
Plan.

14.          Nontransferability
of Awards.  An Award may not be sold, pledged, assigned,
hypothecated, transferred, or disposed of in any manner other than by will or
by the laws of descent or distribution and may be exercised, during the
lifetime of the Participant, only by the Participant.

15.          Awards Generally.

(a)           Limitations.  Awards may be granted only to Outside
Directors.

(b)           Shares.  In the event that any Award granted under the
Plan would cause the number of Shares subject to outstanding Awards plus the
number of Shares previously issued pursuant to an Award to exceed the number of
shares available for issuance under the Plan pursuant to Section 3, then the
remaining Shares available for award grant will be allocated on a pro rata
basis.  No further grants will be made
until such time, if any, as additional Shares become available for grant under
the Plan through action of the Board or the shareholders to increase the number
of Shares which may be issued under the Plan or through the forfeiture of
Shares issued pursuant to Awards previously granted hereunder as provided in
Section 3 hereof.

16.          No Guarantee of
Continued Service.  The Plan shall not confer upon any
Participant any rights with respect to continuation of service as a Director or
other Service Provider or nomination to serve as a Director, nor shall it
interfere in any way with any rights which the Director or the Company may have
to terminate the Director’s relationship with the Company at any time.

17.          Term of Plan.  The Plan will become effective upon the earlier to
occur of its adoption by the Board or its approval by the shareholders of the
Company as described in Section 25 of the Plan.  It will continue in effect for a term of ten
(10) years unless sooner terminated under Section 20 hereof.

12

 

18.          Dissolution, Merger or Asset Sale.

(a)           Dissolution
or Liquidation.  In the event of the proposed dissolution or
liquidation of the Company, the Administrator will notify each Participant as
soon as practicable prior to the effective date of such proposed
transaction.  The Administrator may
determine that each outstanding Option shall be exercisable as to all or any
part of the Option, including Shares as to which the Option would not otherwise
be exercisable, for such period as determined by the Administrator and ending
immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed action.  To the extent it has not been previously
exercised, an Award will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of
such proposed action.

(b)           Change
in Control.  In the event of
a merger or Change in Control, each outstanding Award will be treated as the
Administrator determines, including, without limitation, that each Award be
assumed or an equivalent option or right substituted by the successor
corporation or a Parent or Subsidiary of the successor corporation; provided,
however, that in all cases, upon a Change in Control the Participant will fully
vest in and have the right to exercise all of his or her outstanding Options
and Stock Appreciation Rights, including Shares as to which such Awards would
not otherwise be vested or exercisable, all restrictions on Restricted Stock
and Restricted Stock Units will lapse (so as to become one hundred percent
(100%) vested), and, with respect to Awards with performance-based vesting, all
performance goals or other vesting criteria will be deemed achieved at one
hundred percent (100%) of target levels and all other terms and conditions
met.  The Administrator will not be
required to treat all Awards similarly in the transaction.

For the purposes of this subsection (c), an Award will
be considered assumed if, following the Change in Control, the Award confers
the right to purchase or receive, for each Share subject to the Award
immediately prior to the Change in Control, the consideration (whether stock,
cash, or other securities or property) received in the Change in Control by
holders of Common Stock for each Share held on the effective date of the
transaction (and if holders were offered a choice of consideration, the type of
consideration chosen by the holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares);
provided, however, that if such consideration received in the Change in Control
is not solely common stock of the successor corporation or its Parent, the
Administrator may, with the consent of the successor corporation, provide for
the consideration to be received upon the exercise of an Option or Stock
Appreciation Right or upon the payout of a Performance Share, Performance Unit,
or Restricted Stock Unit, for each Share subject to such Award (or in the case of
an Award settled in cash, the number of implied shares determined by dividing
the value of the Award by the per share consideration received by holders of
Common Stock in the Change in Control), to be solely common stock of the
successor corporation or its Parent equal in fair market value to the per share
consideration received by holders of Common Stock in the Change in Control.

With respect to Awards that
are assumed or substituted for, if on the date of or following such assumption
or substitution the Participant’s status as a Director or a director of the
successor corporation, as applicable, is terminated other than upon a voluntary
resignation by the Participant (unless such resignation is at the request of
the acquirer), then the Participant will fully vest in and have the right to
exercise Options as to all of the Shares underlying such Award, including those
Shares which would not otherwise be vested or exercisable.

 

13

 

19.          Time of Granting Awards.  The date of grant of an Award will, for all purposes,
be the date determined in accordance with Sections 5 hereof.  Notice of the determination shall be given to
each Participant to whom an Award is so granted within a reasonable time after
the date of such grant.

20.          Amendment and Termination of the Plan.

(a)           Amendment and Termination.  The Administrator may at any time amend,
alter, suspend or terminate the Plan.

(b)           Shareholder Approval.  The Company will obtain shareholder approval
of any Plan amendment to the extent necessary and desirable to comply with
Applicable Laws.

(c)           Effect of Amendment or Termination.  No amendment, alteration, suspension or
termination of the Plan will impair the rights of any Participant, unless
mutually agreed otherwise between the Participant and the Administrator, which
agreement must be in writing and signed by the Participant and the
Company.  Termination of the Plan will
not affect the Administrator’s ability to exercise the powers granted to it
hereunder with respect to Awards granted under the Plan prior to the date of
such termination.

21.          Conditions on Issuance of Shares.

(a)           Legal Compliance.  Shares will not be issued pursuant to the
exercise of an Award unless the exercise of such Award and the issuance and
delivery of such Shares will comply with Applicable Laws and will be further
subject to the approval of counsel for the Company with respect to such
compliance.

(b)           Investment Representations.  As a condition to the exercise of an Award,
the Company may require the person exercising such Award to represent and
warrant at the time of any such exercise that the Shares are being purchased
only for investment and without any present intention to sell or distribute
such Shares if, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, such a
representation is required.

22.          Inability to Obtain Authority.  The inability of the Company to obtain
authority from any regulatory body having jurisdiction, which authority is
deemed by the Company’s counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale
of any Shares hereunder, will relieve the Company of any liability in respect
of the failure to issue or sell such Shares as to which such requisite
authority will not have been obtained. 
The Company has no obligation to register any Shares issued pursuant to
this Plan under the securities laws of any jurisdiction.

23.          Reservation of Shares.  The Company, during the term of this Plan, will at all
times reserve and keep available such number of Shares as will be sufficient to
satisfy the requirements of the Plan.

24.          Award
Agreement.  Awards will be evidenced by written
agreements in such form as the Administrator will approve.

14

 

25.          Shareholder
Approval.  The Plan will be subject to approval by
the shareholders of the Company within twelve (12) months after the date the
Plan is adopted by the Board.  Such
shareholder approval will be obtained in the manner and to the degree required
under Applicable Laws.
