-10-

counting, avoid double counting, and provide for adjustments in any case in which the number of shares of Company Non-Voting Stock actually distributed differs from the number of shares of Company Non-Voting Stock previously counted in connection with such Award.

(b)   

Type of Shares Distributable.  Any shares of Company Non-Voting Stock delivered with respect to any Award may consist, in whole or in part, of authorized and un-issued shares of Company Non-Voting Stock or shares of Company Non-Voting Stock reacquired by the Company through purchase in the open market or in private transactions.

(determined in accordance with the terms of this Plan) of the Company Non-Voting Stock at the date of grant; and provided further that if the Committee approves the grant of a Stock Option with an exercise price to be determined on a future date, the exercise price shall be not less than 100% (or 110%, as applicable) of the Fair Market Value on such future date.

(b)   

Stock Option Term.  The term of each Stock Option shall be fixed by the Committee, provided that no Stock Option shall be exercisable more than ten (10) years after the date the Option is granted; and provided further that the term of an Incentive Stock Option granted to a Ten Percent Stockholder shall not exceed five (5) years.

(c)   

Exercisability.  Stock Options shall be exercisable at such time or times and subject to such terms and conditions as shall be determined by the Committee.  If the Committee provides, in its discretion, that any Stock Option is exercisable subject to certain limitations (including, without limitation, that such Stock Option is exercisable only in installments or within certain time periods), the Committee may waive such limitations on the exercisability at any time at, or after, grant, in whole or in part (including, without limitation, waiver of the installment exercise provisions or acceleration of the time at which such Stock Option may be exercised), based on such factors, if any, as the Committee shall determine, in its sole discretion.

(d)   

Notice of Exercise and Payment. An Option shall be exercisable only by delivery of a written, electronic or other method of notice approved by the Company to the Company’s Treasurer or any other officer or agent of the Company designated by the Committee to accept such notices on its behalf, specifying the number of shares of Company Non-Voting Stock for which it is exercised. If the shares are not at that time effectively registered under the Securities Act, the Participant shall include with such notice a letter, in form and substance satisfactory to the Company, confirming that the shares are being purchased for the Participant’s own account for investment and not with a view to distribution. Payment shall be made in full at the time the Option is exercised. Payment shall be made by (i) cash or check, (ii) delivery and assignment (either by actual delivery or attestation) to the Company or its agent of shares of Company Non-Voting Stock having been owned by the Participant for such period as the Committee may determine and having a Fair Market Value as of the date of exercise equal to the exercise price, provided that such shares are not subject to any repurchase, forfeiture, unfulfilled vesting or other similar requirements, (iii) if approved by the Committee, delivery of the Participant’s promissory note for the exercise price (but not if the Participant is a director or executive officer of the Company), or (iv) solely to the extent permitted by applicable law, if the Company Non-Voting Stock is traded on a national securities exchange or quoted on a

-13-

national quotation system sponsored by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, and the Committee authorizes, through a procedure whereby the Participant delivers irrevocable instructions to a broker reasonably acceptable to the Committee to deliver promptly to the Company an amount equal to the purchase price, and (v) any combination of (i) – (iv) above or any other means the Committee deems acceptable and that are permitted by applicable law.

(e)   

Non-Transferability of Options.  Except as expressly provided in an Option Agreement, no Stock Option shall be transferable by the Participant otherwise than by will, the laws of descent and distribution or by operation of the last validly filed beneficiary designation, filed on a form acceptable to the Company, and all Stock Options shall be exercisable, during the Participant’s lifetime, only by the Participant.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may determine, in its sole discretion, at the time of grant or thereafter that a Non-Qualified Stock Option that is otherwise not transferable pursuant to this Section is transferable to a Family Member in whole or in part and in such circumstances, and under such conditions, as determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion. A Non-Qualified Stock Option that is transferred to a Family Member of the optionee pursuant to the preceding sentence (i) may not be subsequently transferred otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution and (ii) remains subject to the terms of this Plan and the applicable Award Agreement.  Any shares of Company Non-Voting Stock acquired upon the exercise of a Non-Qualified Stock Option by a permissible transferee of a Non-Qualified Stock Option or held by a permissible transferee pursuant to a transfer after the exercise of the Non-Qualified Stock Option shall be subject to the terms of this Plan and the applicable Award Agreement.

(f)   

No Rights to Options; No Stockholder Rights. No employee shall have any claim to be granted an Option under the Plan, and there is no obligation for uniformity of treatment of employees. No Option shall confer upon a Participant any rights as a stockholder or any claim to dividends paid with respect to any shares of Company Non-Voting Stock to which the Option relates unless and until such shares of Company Non-Voting Stock are duly issued to him or her in accordance with the terms of the Option Agreement.

(g)   

Cancellation and Rescission of Options.  Unless otherwise determined by the Committee at grant, each Option Agreement shall provide that a Participant who engages or has engaged in Detrimental Activity after the Grant Date of any Option, all vested and unvested Options held by the Participant shall thereupon terminate and expire and the Participant shall have no further rights with respect thereto.

(h)   

Options to Participants Outside the United States. The Committee may modify the terms of any Option under the Plan granted to a Participant

-14-

who is, at the time of grant or during the term of the Option, resident or primarily employed outside of the United States in any manner deemed by the Committee to be necessary or appropriate in order that such Option shall conform to laws, regulations, and customs of the country in which the Participant is then resident or primarily employed, or so that the value and other benefits of the Option to the Participant, as affected by foreign tax laws and other restrictions applicable as a result of the Participant’s residence or employment abroad, shall be comparable to the value of such an Option to a Participant who is resident or primarily employed in the United States. An Option may be modified under this subsection in a manner that is inconsistent with the express terms of the Plan, so long as such modifications will not contravene any applicable law or regulation.

(i)   

Termination of Options. Each Option shall terminate and may no longer be exercised in accordance with the following provisions:

(i)

if the Participant’s employment shall have been terminated  by his or her resignation or by the Company or Subsidiary for Cause, all of the Participant’s right to exercise the Options (to the extent that the Options were exercisable (vested) on the date of termination of employment) shall terminate and may no longer be exercised on the first to occur of (A) the date that is forty-five (45) days from the termination date or (B) the expiration date of the Option; provided that, with respect to a termination for Cause, a duly authorized officer or officers of the Company may determine, solely in his or their discretion to limit the exercise of Options to a time period shorter than that described in (A); if the Participant’s employment shall have been terminated by the Company or Subsidiary without Cause (before his or her Disability or death), then the Participant may at any time within a period of fifteen (15) months after such date of Termination (or, if sooner, the Option’s expiration date as set forth on the Award Agreement) exercise his or her Options to the extent that the Options were exercisable (vested) on the date of termination of employment;

(ii)

if the Participant’s employment shall have been terminated because of his or her Disability, then all of his or her Options shall become exercisable (vested) immediately on the date of Termination and the Participant may at any time within a period of fifteen (15) months after the Participant’s Termination because of Disability (or, if sooner, the Option’s expiration date as set forth on the Award Agreement) exercise any or all of such Options; and

(iii)

if the Participant dies, then all of his or her Options shall become exercisable (vested) immediately on the date of death and his or her estate, personal representative or beneficiary to whom it has been transferred (in accordance with the terms of this Plan) may at any time within a period of fifteen (15) months after the Participant’s death (or, if

-15-

sooner, the Option’s expiration date as set forth on the Award Agreement) exercise any or all of such Options;

provided, however, that the Committee may, at its sole discretion, provide specifically in an Award Agreement for such other period of time (shorter or longer than as set forth above) during which a Participant may exercise an Option after Termination as the Committee may approve, subject to the overriding limitation that no Option may be exercised to any extent by anyone after the date of expiration of the Option.

(j)   

Unvested Stock Options.  Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, or as otherwise set forth herein, including, without limitation, at Section 6.3(i)(i), (ii) or (iii), Stock Options that are not vested (either by operation of this Plan or under an agreement or otherwise) as of the date of a Participant’s Termination for any reason shall terminate and expire as of the date of such Termination.

(k)   

Incentive Stock Option Limitations.  To the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the time of grant) of the Company Non-Voting Stock with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by an Eligible Employee during any calendar year under this Plan and/or any other stock option plan of the Company or any Subsidiary exceeds $100,000, such Options shall be treated as Non-Qualified Stock Options.  Incentive Stock Options shall be granted to Employees only. Should any provision of this Plan not be necessary in order for the Stock Options to qualify as Incentive Stock Options, or should any additional provisions be required, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, amend this Plan accordingly, without the necessity of obtaining the approval of the Voting Stockholders of the Company (unless such approval is required in order to allow for the continued granting of Incentive Stock Options).

(l)   

Form, Modification, Extension and Renewal of Stock Options.  Subject to the terms and conditions and within the limitations of this Plan, Stock Options shall be evidenced by such form of agreement or grant as is approved by the Committee, and the Committee may, in its sole discretion, modify, extend or renew outstanding Stock Options granted under this Plan (provided that the rights of a Participant are not reduced without his or her consent and provided further that such action does not subject the Stock Option to Section 409A of the Code).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, an outstanding Option may not be modified to reduce the exercise price thereof nor may a new Option at a lower price be substituted for a surrendered Option (other than adjustments or substitutions in accordance with Section 4.2), unless such action is approved by the Voting Stockholders of the Company.

-16-

(m)   

Other Terms and Conditions.  Stock Options may contain such other provisions, which shall not be inconsistent with any of the terms of this Plan, as the Committee shall, in its sole discretion, deem appropriate.

ARTICLE VII

RESTRICTED STOCK

7.1   

Awards of Restricted Stock.  Shares of Restricted Stock may be issued either alone or in addition to other Awards granted under the Plan.  The Committee shall, in its sole discretion, determine the Eligible Employees to whom, the time or times at which, and the performance conditions (if any) applicable to, grants of Restricted Stock and shall also determine the number of shares of Company Non-Voting Stock to be awarded, the price (if any) to be paid by the Participant, the time or times within which such Awards may be subject to forfeiture, the vesting schedule and rights to acceleration thereof, and all other terms and conditions of the Awards.  As it deems necessary or appropriate, including to comply with Code Section 162(m), the Committee may condition receipt of the grant of Restricted Stock upon the attainment of annual performance goals, as described in Section 7.3.  In addition, the Committee may condition the vesting of Restricted Stock upon the attainment of specified performance targets or such other factors as the Committee may determine, in its sole discretion, including compliance with the requirements of Section 162(m) of the Code.  Unless otherwise determined by the Committee at grant, each Award of Restricted Stock shall provide that in the event the Participant engages in Detrimental Activity after the grant of Restricted Stock, all unvested Restricted Stock shall be immediately forfeited to the Company.

7.2   

Awards and Certificates.  Participants selected to receive Restricted Stock Awards shall comply with the applicable terms and conditions of the Restricted Stock Award.  Further, all Awards shall be subject to the following:

(a)   

Purchase Price.  The purchase price, if any, of Restricted Stock shall be fixed by the Committee.  The purchase price for shares of Restricted Stock may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be more or less than par value and may be zero.

(b)   

Non-Issuance of Certificates.  Participants receiving an Award of Restricted Stock shall be issued neither shares of Company Non-Voting Stock nor a certificate in respect of such Award.  Rather, each such Award shall be recorded as a book entry in such manner as is administratively expedient and permitted by law.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Committee, in its sole discretion, determines to issue a Participant receiving an Award of Restricted Stock a stock certificate in respect of such shares of Restricted Stock, such certificate shall be registered in the name of such Participant, and, if applicable, shall bear an appropriate legend referring to the terms, conditions, and restrictions applicable to such Award substantially in the following form:

“The transferability of this certificate and the shares represented by this certificate are subject to the terms and conditions (including,

-17-

without limitation, the right of Eaton Vance Corp. to repurchase the shares) of the Eaton Vance Corp. 2013 Omnibus Incentive Plan and an Award Agreement entered into by the registered owner and Eaton Vance Corp.  Copies of such Plan and Award Agreement are on file in the offices of Eaton Vance Corp.”

In such case, the Committee may require that the stock certificates evidencing shares of Restricted Stock be held in custody by a designated escrow agent (which may, but need not be, the Company) until the restrictions thereon shall have lapsed, and include any restrictions or limitations that the Committee may otherwise deem necessary or appropriate.

(c)   

Restrictions and Restriction Period.  During the period or periods established by the Committee and set forth in the Restricted Stock Agreement (i.e., the Restriction Period), each Award of Restricted Stock shall be subject to limitations on transferability and a Risk of Forfeiture (which may take the form of a right of the Company to repurchase the Restricted Stock for such consideration, if any, as the Committee shall have determined at grant) arising on the basis of such conditions related to the continuation of employment or the attainment of performance goals or otherwise as the Committee may determine. Any such Risk of Forfeiture may be waived, or the Restriction Period shortened, at any time by the Committee on such basis as it deems appropriate.

(d)   

Rights Pending Lapse of Risk of Forfeiture.  Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or in an Award Agreement, at all times prior to lapse of the Risk of Forfeiture applicable to, or forfeiture or repurchase of, an Award of Restricted Stock, the Participant shall have all of the rights of, and be subject to the limitations of, a non-Voting Stockholder of the Company as to such shares of Company Non-Voting Stock; provided, however, that any dividends (whether paid in cash, stock or property) declared and paid by the Company with respect to shares of Restricted Stock shall not be paid to the Participant until such time all Risks of Forfeiture (including any performance objectives) with respect to such Award have been satisfied or attained.  The Committee, as determined at the time of an Award, may permit or require the payment of cash dividends to be deferred and, if the Committee so determines, reinvested in additional Restricted Stock to the extent shares of Company Non-Voting Stock are available under Section 4.

(e)   

Effect of Termination.  Unless otherwise determined by the Committee at or after grant and subject to the applicable provisions of the Restricted Stock Agreement, upon Termination with the Company and its Subsidiaries for any reason during the Restriction Period, all shares of Restricted Stock still subject to Risk of Forfeiture shall be forfeited (or subject to repurchase, if applicable); provided, however, that military or sick leave shall not be deemed a termination of employment or other

-18-

association, if it does not exceed the longer of ninety (90) days or the period during which the absent Participant’s reemployment rights, if any, are guaranteed by statute or by contract.

(f)   

Lapse of Restrictions.  Subject to Section 12.4 below (relating to satisfaction of withholding obligations), if and when the Risk of Forfeiture expires without a prior forfeiture of the Restricted Stock, the bookkeeping entry reflecting the Award of Restricted Stock shall be updated to reflect that the Award is no longer subject to a Risk of Forfeiture; provided that, if the Committee so determines, the Committee may authorize certificates with respect to such shares of Company Non-Voting Stock and instruct that they be delivered to the Participant, subject to all requirements set forth herein.  

(g)   

Non-Transferability.  No Award shall be transferable by the Participant otherwise than by will, the laws of descent and distribution or by operation of the last validly filed beneficiary designation, filed on a form acceptable to the Company.  Any Award that is transferred to a Family Member or beneficiary pursuant to the preceding sentence (i) may not be subsequently transferred otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution and (ii) remains subject to the terms of this Plan and the applicable Award Agreement.  Any shares of Company Non-Voting Stock held by a permissible transferee shall be subject to the terms of this Plan and the applicable Award Agreement.

(h)   

Buyouts.  The Company may at any time offer to buy out any outstanding Award of Restricted Stock for a payment in cash, shares of Company Non-Voting Stock or other property based on such terms and conditions as the Committee shall determine.

(i)   

Awards to Participants Outside the United States.  The Committee may modify the terms of any Award under the Plan granted to a Participant who is, at the time of grant or during the term of the Award, resident or primarily employed outside of the United States in any manner deemed by the Committee to be necessary or appropriate in order that such Award shall conform to laws, regulations, and customs of the country in which the Participant is then resident or primarily employed, or so that the value and other benefits of the Award to the Participant, as affected by foreign tax laws and other restrictions applicable as a result of the Participant’s residence or employment abroad, shall be comparable to the value of such an Award to a Participant who is resident or primarily employed in the United States.  An Award may be modified under this subsection in a manner that is inconsistent with the express terms of the Plan, so long as such modifications will not contravene any applicable law or regulation.

7.3   

Additional Requirements for Performance Awards.  Restricted Stock may be granted to Covered Employees or others (as the Committee may determine) subject to the attainment of pre-established performance goals, as described below.  Restricted Stock

-19-

(including Restricted Stock granted contingent upon the attainment of pre-established performance goals) may also be granted subject to a Risk of Forfeiture based on the provisions of Section 7.2(d) above, and may include that the Risk of Forfeiture may lapse upon the achievement of additional pre-established performance goal or goals and other terms as set forth in this Section 7.3.

(a)   

Performance Goals Generally.  The performance goals for such Performance Awards shall include one or more business criteria and may (but need not) include a targeted level or levels of performance with respect to each such criterion, as specified by the Committee consistent with this Section 7.3.  Performance goals shall be objective, shall be for a specified period and shall otherwise meet the requirements for performance-based compensation under Code Section 162(m), including the requirement that the outcome of performance goals be “substantially uncertain” at the time established.  The Committee may determine that such Award shall be granted upon achievement of any one or more performance goal or that two or more of the performance goals must be attained as a condition to vesting or delivery of shares of Company Non-Voting Stock or retention or non-forfeiture of such Award.  Performance goals may differ for separate Awards granted to any one Participant or to different Participants, and may be different for Performance Periods.

(b)   

Business Criteria.  One or more of the following business criteria for the Company, on a consolidated basis, and/or for specified Subsidiaries, business units, funds or ventures of the Company (except with respect to the total stockholder return and earnings per share criteria), shall be used by the Committee in establishing performance goals for such Award:  (1) earnings per share; (2) revenues; (3) cash flow; (4) cash flow return on investment; (5) return on assets, return on investment, return on capital, or return on equity; (6) identification and/or consummation of investment opportunities or completion of specified projects in accordance with corporate business plans; (7) operating margin; (8) net income, net operating income, pretax earnings, pretax earnings before interest and depreciation and amortization, pretax operating earnings after interest expense and before incentives and service fees and extraordinary or special items, operating earnings or adjusted operating earnings; (9) total stockholder return; (10) commissions paid or payable to certain marketing personnel which are subjected to the Participant’s customary override commissions; (11) any of the above goals as compared to the performance of a published or special index deemed applicable by the Committee including, but not limited to, the Standard & Poor’s 500 Stock Index or other indexes or groups of comparable companies referenced in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K in respect to Item 401(l) of Regulation S-K; (12) new exchange fund assets acquired during a performance period; (13) the value of all financial assets resulting from an extraordinary acquisition of assets; (14) the performance of one or more of the Eaton Vance funds as compared to a peer group or index or other

-20-

benchmark deemed applicable by the Committee; (15) the volume of sales of Eaton Vance funds; and (16) Operating Income.  The Committee may specify that such performance criteria shall be adjusted to include or exclude, as appropriate, any one or more of the following:  (a) the results of consolidated funds, (b) stock based compensation expense, (c) write offs of intangible assets or goodwill associated with acquisitions or similar transactions, (d) extraordinary and non-recurring items, (e) the cumulative effects of changes in accounting principles, (f) gains or losses on dispositions of discontinued operations, (g) the write down of any asset, (h) charges for restructuring or rationalization programs, (i) amortization of intangibles associated with acquisitions,  (j) other acquisition related charges or expenses, (k) impairment charges, (l) gain or loss on minority equity investments, (m) non-cash income tax expenses, (n) expenses associated with incentive compensation, (o) net income attributable to non-controlling and other beneficial interests, (p) equity in net income of affiliates, (q) non-recurring expenses related to closed-end fund offerings, and (r) the effects of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations.  Such performance criteria and adjustments thereto may be determined on a GAAP or non-GAAP basis, as determined by the Committee at the time the performance goal is established.  The specific performance goal or goals established by the Committee with respect to such Award or the terms of the Award Agreement shall be subject to adjustment by the Committee for any change in law, regulations and interpretations occurring after the Grant Date of the Award so as to enable all compensation to a Covered Employee attributable to the Award to constitute “performance-based compensation” within the meaning of Code Section 162(m).

(c)   

Timing For Establishing Performance Goals.  Performance goals applicable to both (i) Awards of Restricted Stock granted upon the condition that a specified goal or goals be achieved during a Performance Period, or (ii) Awards of Restricted Stock granted subject to a Risk of Forfeiture that lapses upon the achievement of pre-established performance goals shall be measured over the applicable Performance Period.  The Performance Period will be specified in the Restricted Stock Agreement.  Performance goals shall be established not later than 90 days after the beginning of any Performance Period applicable to such Award, or at such other date as may be required or permitted for “performance-based compensation” under Code Section 162(m).  

(d)   

Special Definitions.  For purposes of this Section:  “performance period” means the period over which an applicable performance goal or goals must be met; “extraordinary acquisition of assets” means an unusual or nonrecurring event affecting the Company or any Subsidiary, or any business division or unit or the financial statements of the Company or any Subsidiary, involving the acquisition of new financial assets to be managed or administered for advisory or other fees by any Subsidiary or

-21-

any business division or unit, such as the acquisition of investment companies or partnerships (or their assets) previously managed by other persons, the acquisition of other investment advisory or management firms (or their assets) or the formation of joint ventures, partnerships or similar entities with other firms, provided that such fees shall be based upon such assets and payable to the Subsidiary or business division or unit upon consummation of the transaction (but the formation of new investment companies or partnerships by the Company or any Subsidiary or the acquisition of new private accounts to be managed by the Company or any Subsidiary in the ordinary course of its business shall not constitute an extraordinary acquisition of assets); and “new exchange fund assets” means all financial assets acquired during a performance period resulting from the private offering of shares or units of one or more exchange funds offered and managed by any Subsidiary or Subsidiaries of the Company, including all qualifying assets acquired by an exchange fund during a performance period to ensure the nontaxability of the exchange of contributed securities for shares or units of the fund (with all financial assets acquired by an exchange fund during a performance period valued as at the close of business on the exchange date, using the valuation of such assets employed by the fund at such date).

ARTICLE VIII

CHANGE IN CONTROL PROVISIONS

8.1   

Benefits.  In the event of a Change in Control of the Company and except as otherwise provided by the Committee in any Award Agreement, a Participant’s unvested Award shall not automatically vest and a Participant’s Award shall be treated in accordance with one of the following methods determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion:

(a)   

Awards, whether or not then vested, shall be continued, assumed, have new rights substituted therefore, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, and restrictions applicable to any Award granted prior to the Change in Control shall not lapse upon a Change in Control; provided that, for purposes of Incentive Stock Options, any assumed or substituted Stock Option shall comply with the requirements of Treasury Regulation Section 1.424-1 (and any amendments thereto).

(b)   

The Committee, in its sole discretion, may provide for the purchase of any Awards by the Company or a Subsidiary or any acquiring or successor person or entity for an amount of cash equal to the excess of the Change in Control Price (as defined below) of the shares of Company Non-Voting Stock covered by such Awards, over the aggregate exercise price of such Awards, if any, and any applicable tax withholding.  For purposes of this Section 8.1, “Change in Control Price” shall mean the highest price per share of Company Non-Voting Stock paid in any transaction related to a Change in Control of the Company.

-22-

(c)   

The Committee may, in its sole discretion, provide for the cancellation of any Awards without payment, if (i) in the case of Stock Options, the Change in Control Price is less than the exercise price of such Option and (ii) in the case of any Award, such Award is unvested (i.e., remains subject to a Risk of Forfeiture) upon the closing date of the Change in Control.

(d)   

The Committee may, upon written notice to Participants, provide that all of the Participant’s unexercised Awards will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of the Change in Control unless exercised by the Participant (to the extent then exercisable) within a specified period of time following the date of such notice.

(e)   

Notwithstanding anything else herein, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, provide for accelerated vesting or lapse of restrictions, of an Award at the time of grant or at any time thereafter.

In taking any of the actions permitted under this Section 8.1, the Committee shall not be obligated by the Plan to treat all Awards, or all Awards held by a Participant, or all Awards of the same type, identically.  

ARTICLE IX

FORMULA PLAN FOR NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTORS

9.1   

Formula Plan, In General.  Non-Employee Directors of the Company shall be granted Director Options as described in Section 9.2 and a Phantom Stock Awards as described in Section 9.3.  Unless otherwise specifically provided in this Article IX, all Options granted under Section 9.2 shall be subject to the general rules set forth for Option Awards under this Plan, including as set forth in Article VI.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, grant Awards to Non-Employee Directors that are different from, and/ or in addition to the Awards set forth below.

9.2   

Director Option.  At the first Board meeting following the first election to the Board of a person who was not, within twelve months preceding election, either an officer or employee of the Company or any Subsidiary, a Non-Employee Director shall be granted an Option to purchase such number of shares of Company Non-Voting Stock that, on the Grant Date, has a value under the Black-Scholes method of $50,000 (using the methodology used by the Company in determining the value of Options granted to Eligible Employees). On the first business day in November in each year, each Non-Employee Director shall receive a Director Option to purchase such number of shares of Company Non-Voting Stock that, on the Grant Date, has a value under the Black-Scholes method of $50,000 (using the methodology used by the Company in determining the value of Options granted to Eligible Employees). In the event that on any Grant Date there is not a sufficient number of shares of Company Non-Voting Stock available to implement fully the preceding sentences, then each such director shall receive a pro rata portion of the Director Option contemplated by the preceding sentences. The Option Price for each Director Option shall be the Fair Market Value (as defined herein) for the Grant Date.  Each Director Option shall become exercisable immediately on the date of grant. No Director

-23-

Option shall be exercisable later than ten years after the date of grant. It is intended that each Director Option automatically granted pursuant to this Section 9.2 shall be made pursuant to a formula plan as defined in Release No. 34-37260 of the Securities and Exchange Commission (adopting restated Rule 16b-3).  

9.3   

Phantom Stock.  At the first Board meeting following the first election to the Board of a person who was not, within twelve months preceding election, either an officer or employee of the Company or any Subsidiary, a Non-Employee Director shall be granted a Phantom Stock Award equivalent to $50,000, with the number of units of Phantom Stock actually awarded equal to $50,000 divided by the Fair Market Value of a share of Company Non-Voting Stock on the Grant Date. On the first business day in November in each year, each Non-Employee Director shall be granted a Phantom Stock Award equivalent to $50,000, with the number of units of Phantom Stock actually awarded equal to $50,000 divided by the Fair Market Value of a share of Company Non-Voting Stock on the Grant Date.  

(a)   

Settlement.  Phantom Stock Awards will vest and be settled on the first to occur of the second anniversary of the Grant Date or the date of the Non-Employee Director’s Termination (other than for Cause), or because of death, Disability or Unforeseeable Emergency, or upon a Change in Control.  Phantom Stock Awards shall be settled in a lump sum cash payment equivalent to the number of units of Phantom Stock held (after adjustment under Sections 9.3(e) and (f)) on the settlement date multiplied by the Fair Market Value of a share of Company Non-Voting Stock on such date.  

(b)   

Non-Transferability of Phantom Stock Award.  Except as specifically authorized by the Committee, Phantom Stock Awards, or the rights represented thereby, shall not be transferable by the Participant otherwise than by will, the laws of descent and distribution or by operation of the last validly filed beneficiary designation, filed on a form acceptable to the Company.  Any Award that is transferred to a Family Member or beneficiary pursuant to the preceding sentence (i) may not be subsequently transferred otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution and (ii) remains subject to the terms of this Plan and the applicable Award Agreement.  Any shares of Company Non-Voting Stock held by a permissible transferee shall be subject to the terms of this Plan and the applicable Award Agreement.

(c)   

Purported Transfers.  Except as specifically authorized by the Committee, no purported assignment or transfer of a Phantom Stock Award, or of the rights represented thereby, whether voluntary or involuntary, by operation of law or otherwise (except by will, the laws of descent and distribution, or by operation of the last validly filed beneficiary designation), shall vest in the assignee or transferee any interest or right herein whatsoever.

(d)   

Unfunded Promise; No Stockholder Rights. The grant of a Phantom Stock Award (as adjusted herein) shall constitute an unfunded promise by the Company to pay a cash amount, in accordance with the requirements of

-24-

this Section 9.3. Such cash amount is to be paid exclusively from the general assets of the Company, and the Non-Employee Director receiving such Award shall be an unsecured creditor of the Company with respect to all Phantom Stock Awards.  Except as specifically provided herein, no Phantom Stock Award shall confer upon a Non-Employee Director any rights as a Voting Stockholder or non-Voting Stockholder with respect to the Award contemplated herein.  

(e)   

Dividends.  As dividends are paid with respect to Company Non-Voting Stock, a number of units of Phantom Stock with a current value equal to the amount of the dividend will be allocated to the account of each Non-Employee Director with respect to each unit of Phantom Stock Awarded hereunder at the time such dividends are paid to the stockholders of the Company.  The number of units of Phantom Stock allocable will be determined by first determining the value of the total dividend that would have been paid to a Non-Employee Director if each unit of Phantom Stock held by him or her at such time was an actual share of Company Non-Voting Stock, and dividing the aggregate value of the hypothetical dividend by the Fair Market Value of a share of Company Non-Voting Stock, as of the date the dividend is declared (rounded up to one additional unit, as necessary).

(f)   

Adjustments.  Adjustments shall be made to the number of units of Phantom Stock held by a Non-Employee Director, as necessary, in accordance with Section 4.2.

(g)   

Taxes.  Amounts received with respect to a Phantom Stock Award are taxable as regular income upon settlement.  Non-Employee Directors receiving such Awards are solely responsible for payment of all state, federal and local taxes applicable thereto.

ARTICLE XI

UNFUNDED PLAN

11.1   

Unfunded Status of Plan.  This Plan is an “unfunded” plan for incentive and deferred compensation.  With respect to any payments as to which a Participant has a fixed and vested interest but that are not yet made to a Participant by the Company, nothing contained herein shall give any such Participant any rights that are greater than those of a general unsecured creditor of the Company.

ARTICLE XII

GENERAL PROVISIONS

12.1   

Legend.  The Committee may require each person receiving shares of Company Non-Voting Stock pursuant to a Stock Option or other Award under the Plan to represent to and agree with the Company in writing that the Participant is acquiring the shares without a view to distribution thereof.  In addition to any legend required by this Plan, the certificates for such shares may include any legend that the Committee, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate to reflect any restrictions on transfer.

All certificates for shares of Company Non-Voting Stock delivered under the Plan shall be subject to such stop transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee may, in its sole discretion, deem advisable under the rules, regulations and other requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission, any stock exchange upon which the Company Non-Voting Stock is then listed or any national securities exchange system upon whose system the Company Non-Voting Stock is then quoted, any applicable Federal or state securities law, and any applicable corporate law, and the Committee may cause a legend or legends to be put on any such certificates to make appropriate reference to such restrictions.

12.2   

Other Plans.  Nothing contained in this Plan shall prevent the Board from adopting other or additional compensation arrangements, subject to Voting Stockholder approval if such approval is required; and such arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases.

12.3   

No Right to Employment or Directorship.  Neither this Plan nor the grant of any Option or other Award hereunder shall give any individual any right with respect to continuance of employment, consultancy or directorship by the Company or any Subsidiary, nor shall they be a limitation in any way on the right of the Company or any Subsidiary by which an employee is employed or a consultant or Non-Employee Director is retained to Terminate his or her employment, consultancy or directorship at any time.

12.4   

Withholding of Taxes.  The Company shall have the right to deduct from any payment to be made pursuant to this Plan, or to otherwise require, prior to the issuance or delivery of any shares of Company Non-Voting Stock or the payment of any cash hereunder, payment by the Participant of, any Federal, state or local taxes required by law to be withheld, including without limitation, upon the vesting of Restricted Stock (or other Award that is taxable upon vesting).  Upon an election by a Participant under Section 83(b) of the Code, he or she shall pay all required withholding to the Company.  Any statutorily required withholding obligation with regard to any Participant may be satisfied, subject to the prior consent of the Committee, by reducing the number of shares of Company Non-Voting Stock otherwise deliverable or by delivering shares of Company Non-Voting Stock already owned; provided, however, that except as otherwise required by the Committee, the total tax withholding where shares of Company Non-Voting Stock are being used to satisfy tax obligations cannot exceed the Company’s minimum statutory withholding obligations (based on minimum statutory withholding rates for federal and state tax purposes, including payroll taxes, that are applicable to such supplemental taxable income).

(b)   

If at any time counsel to the Company shall be of the opinion that any sale or delivery of shares of Company Non-Voting Stock pursuant to an Option or other Award is or may in the circumstances be unlawful or result in the imposition of excise taxes on the Company under the statutes, rules or regulations of any applicable jurisdiction, the Company shall have no obligation to make such sale or delivery, or to make any application or to effect or to maintain any qualification or registration under the Securities Act or otherwise, with respect to shares of Company Non-Voting Stock or Awards, and the right to exercise any Option or other Award shall be suspended until, in the opinion of said counsel, such sale or delivery shall be lawful or will not result in the imposition of excise taxes on the Company.

(c)   

Upon termination of any period of suspension under this Section 12.6, any Award affected by such suspension which shall not then have expired or terminated shall be reinstated as to all shares available before such suspension and as to shares which would otherwise have become available during the period of such suspension, but no such suspension shall extend the term of any Award.
