 SECTION 4 
 DETERMINATION OF AWARDS 
  
 (a) Performance Criteria. 
  
 (i) Prior to the beginning of each Performance Period, or at such later time as may be permitted by applicable provisions of the Code, the
Committee shall establish: (1) the Covered Employees and other employees who will be Participants in the Plan; (2) each Participant’s target Award for such Performance Period; and (3) the performance objective or objectives that must be
satisfied in order for a Participant to receive an Award for such Performance Period. Any such performance objectives will be based upon the achievement of one or more of the following criteria, as determined by the Committee: (i) revenue
growth; (ii) earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization; (iii) earnings before interest, taxes and amortization; (iv) operating income; (v) pre- or after-tax income; (vi) cash flow; (vii)
cash flow per share; (viii) net earnings; (ix) earnings per share; (x) return on equity; (xi) return on invested capital; (xii) return on assets; (xiii) economic value added (or an equivalent metric);
(xiv) share price performance; (xv) total shareholder return; (xvi) improvement in or attainment of expense levels; (xvii) improvement in or attainment of working capital levels; (xviii) debt reduction; or
(xix) any other criteria the Committee in its sole discretion deems appropriate. 
  

 (ii) Any of the performance objectives set forth above may measure performance on a
Company-wide basis or with respect to one or more business units, divisions or Subsidiaries, and either in absolute terms, relative to the performance of one or more similarly situated companies, relative to the performance of an index covering a
peer group of companies, or other external measures of the selected performance criteria. Any performance objective may measure performance on an individual basis, as appropriate. 
  
 (iii) In the application of performance objectives to Award determinations under the Plan, the Committee may
(i) make adjustments it deems advisable in order to give consideration to changes made in accounting rules, principles or methods, or extraordinary events, and make adjustments to financial performance measures in recognition of such
occurrences, (ii) exclude special charges, restructuring charges, discontinued operations and unusual or infrequent accounting adjustments, restatements or reclassifications which they deem significant; provided that such adjustments
are identified in the Company’s financial statements or management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations contained in the Company’s most recent annual report filed with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission pursuant to the Exchange Act; and provided, further, that any such adjustments or exclusions are stated and taken into account at the time the performance objectives for a particular Performance Period are
determined in accordance with Section 4(a)(i) hereof. 
  
 (iv) Except as otherwise provided for herein, no payments shall be made hereunder in respect of any Performance Period, unless the Committee shall certify in writing following the end of each such Performance Period that the performance
objectives applicable to such Performance Period have been satisfied. 
  
 (b) Partial Year Participation and Termination. 
  
 (i) If an employee becomes a Participant with respect to any Performance Period after the beginning of such Performance Period, such Participant shall receive, if and when payments with respect to Awards for such
Performance Period are made under Section 5 hereof, a payment equal to a fraction of the value, as determined by the Committee pursuant to Section 4, of such Participant’s Award (if any) with respect to such Performance Period. The numerator of
such fraction shall be the number of complete months that such Participant was a Participant during such Performance Period and the denominator shall be the total number of months in such Performance Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the
case of a newly hired Participant, the 

  

 
Committee may provide for a guaranteed bonus, or a bonus that would exceed the bonus that would otherwise be payable in the Plan. 
  
 (ii) Unless otherwise determined by the Committee in its
sole discretion at the time the performance criteria are selected for a particular Performance Period in accordance with Section 4(a), if a Participant’s employment terminates for any reason prior to the date on which the Peformance Period ends
hereunder, such Participant shall forfeit all rights to any and all Awards which have not yet been paid under the Plan; provided that if a Participant’s employment terminates as a result of death, disability or retirement (as defined
under any retirement plan of the Company or a Subsidiary) the Committee shall give consideration at its sole discretion to the payment of a partial bonus with regard to the portion of the Performance Period worked. 
  
 (iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Participant’s
employment terminates for any reason prior to the date on which the Award is paid hereunder, the Committee, in its discretion, may waive any forfeiture pursuant to Section 4(b) in whole or in part. 
  
 (c) Maximum Amount Payable. The maximum award payable hereunder for
any Performance Period shall in no event exceed $1.25million. 
  
 SECTION 5 
 PAYMENT OF AWARDS 
  
 Each Participant shall be eligible to receive, as soon as practicable after the amount of such Participant’s Award for a Performance Period has been
determined in accordance with the terms of the Plan, payment of the Award in cash, stock, options, other stock-based awards or any combination thereof determined by the Committee subject to such restrictions and/or vesting or deferred requirements
as the Committee shall have determined prior to the commencement of the applicable Performance Period (and communicated to the Participant). Equity or equity-based awards shall be granted under the terms and conditions of one or more of the
Company’s Stock Plans. Payment of the award may be deferred in accordance with a written election by the Participant pursuant to procedures established by the Committee. 
  
 SECTION 6 
 EFFECTIVENESS OF PLAN, AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION 
  
 The
Plan shall be effective as of January 1, 2004. The Committee may amend, suspend, discontinue or terminate the Plan at any time and from time to time. No action under this section which adversely affects a Participant’s rights to, or interest
in, an Award granted prior to the date of such action shall be effective unless the Participant shall have agreed thereto in writing. Unless earlier terminated, the Plan shall terminate 

  

 
on the day immediately prior to the first meeting of the stockholders of the Company in 2008 at which directors will be elected. 
  
 SECTION 7 
 OTHER PROVISIONS 
  
 (a) No Participant or other person shall have any claim or right to be granted an Award under this Plan until such Award is actually granted. Neither the establishment of this Plan, nor any action taken hereunder, shall be construed as
giving any Participant any right to be retained in the employ of the Company. Nothing contained in this Plan shall limit the ability of the Company to make payments or awards to Participants under any other plan, agreement or arrangement.

  
 (b) The rights and benefits of a Participant hereunder are
personal to the Participant and, except for payments made following a Participant’s death, shall not be subject to any voluntary or involuntary alienation, assignment, pledge, transfer, encumbrance, attachment, garnishment or other disposition.

  
 (c) Awards under this Plan shall not constitute compensation
for the purpose of determining participation or benefits under any other plan of the Company unless specifically included as compensation in such plan. 
  
 (d) The Company shall have the right to deduct from Awards any taxes or other amounts required to be withheld by law. 
  
 (e) Nothing contained in the Plan shall be construed to prevent the Company
or any Subsidiary from taking any corporate action which is deemed by it to be appropriate or in its best interest, whether or not such action would have an adverse effect on any awards made under the Plan. No Participant or other person shall have
any claim against the Company or any Subsidiary as a result of any such action. 
  
 (f) The Plan shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Delaware. 
  
 (g) No member of the Committee or the Board, and no officer, employee or agent of the Company shall be liable for any act or action hereunder, whether of
commission or omission, taken by any other member, or by any officer, agent, or employee, or, except in circumstances involving bad faith, for anything done or omitted to be done in the administration of the Plan.
