Each Option shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement that shall specify the type of Option granted, the exercise price, the duration of the Option, the number of shares of Stock to which the Option pertains, and such other provisions as the Committee shall determine.

Award Agreements evidencing Options may incorporate all or any of the terms of the Plan by reference and shall comply with and be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in Sections 6.2 through 6.6 below.

6.2Exercise Price. The exercise price for each Option shall be established in the discretion of the Committee; provided, however, that (a) the exercise price per share shall be not less than the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the effective date of grant of the Option and (b) no Incentive Stock Option granted to a Ten Percent Owner shall have an exercise price per share less than one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the effective date of grant of the Option. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Option (whether an Incentive Stock Option or a Nonstatutory Stock Option) may be granted with an exercise price lower than the minimum exercise price set forth above if such Option is granted pursuant to an assumption or substitution for another option in a manner qualifying under the provisions of Section 409A of the Code and Section 424(a) of the Code.

6.3Exercise Period. Options shall be exercisable at such time or times, or upon such event or events, and subject to such terms, conditions, performance criteria and restrictions as shall be determined by the Committee and set forth in the Award Agreement evidencing such Option; provided, however, that (a) no Option shall be exercisable after the expiration of ten (10) years after the effective date of grant of such Option, (b) no Incentive Stock Option granted to a Ten Percent Owner shall be exercisable after the expiration of five (5) years after the effective date of grant of such Option, and (c) no Option granted to a prospective Employee or prospective Director may become exercisable prior to the date on which such person commences Service. Subject to the foregoing, unless otherwise specified by the Committee in the grant of an Option, any Option granted hereunder shall have a term of ten (10) years from the effective date of grant of the Option, unless earlier terminated in accordance with its provisions.

6.4Payment of Exercise Price. The purchase price of Stock upon exercise of any Option shall be paid in full by such methods as shall be permitted by the Committee or as provided in a Participant’s Award Agreement, which need not be the same for all Participants, and subject to the following:

(a)Forms of Consideration Authorized. Except as otherwise provided below, payment of the exercise price for the number of shares of Stock being purchased pursuant to any Option shall be made

(i)in cash, by check, or cash equivalent,

10

(ii)by tender to the Company, or attestation to the ownership, of shares of Stock owned by the Participant having a Fair Market Value not less than the exercise price,

(iii)by delivery of a properly executed notice of exercise together with irrevocable instructions to a broker providing for the assignment to the Company of the proceeds of a sale or loan with respect to some or all of the shares being acquired upon the exercise of the Option (including, without limitation, through an exercise complying with the provisions of Regulation T as promulgated from time to time by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System) (a “Cashless Exercise”),

(iv)if an option is a Nonstatutory Stock Option, by a “net exercise” arrangement pursuant to which the Company will reduce the number of shares of Stock issuable upon exercise by the largest whole number of shares with a Fair Market Value that does not exceed the aggregate exercise price; provided, however, that the Company will accept a cash or other payment from the Participant to the extent of any remaining balance of the aggregate exercise price not satisfied by such reduction in the number of whole shares to be issued. Shares of Stock will no longer be subject to an Option and will not be exercisable thereafter to the extent that (A) shares issuable upon exercise are reduced to pay the exercise price pursuant to the “net exercise,” (B) shares are delivered to the Participant as a result of such exercise, and (C) shares are withheld to satisfy Tax-Related Items withholding obligations,

(v)in any other form of legal consideration that may be acceptable to the Committee and specified in the applicable Award Agreement, or

(vi)by any combination thereof.

The Committee may at any time or from time to time grant Options which do not permit all of the foregoing forms of consideration to be used in payment of the exercise price or which otherwise restrict one or more forms of consideration. The proceeds from payment of the Option exercise prices shall be added to the general funds of the Company and shall be used for general corporate purposes.

(b)Limitations on Forms of Consideration.

(i)Tender of Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Option may not be exercised by tender to the Company, or attestation to the ownership, of shares of Stock to the extent such tender or attestation would constitute a violation of the provisions of any law, regulation or agreement restricting the redemption of the Company’s stock. Unless otherwise provided by the Committee, an Option may not be exercised by tender to the Company, or attestation to the ownership, of shares of Stock unless such shares either have been owned by the Participant for more than six (6) months (and not used for another Option exercise by attestation during such period) or were not acquired, directly or indirectly, from the Company.

(ii)Cashless Exercise. The Company reserves, at any and all times, the right, in the Company’s sole and absolute discretion, to establish, decline to approve or terminate any program or procedures for the exercise of Options by means of a Cashless Exercise, including with respect to one or more Participants specified by the Company notwithstanding that such program or procedures may be available to other Participants.

6.5Effect of Termination of Service.

(a)Option Exercisability. Subject to earlier termination of the Option as otherwise provided herein and unless otherwise provided by the Committee in the grant of an Option and set forth in the Award Agreement, an Option shall be exercisable after a Participant’s termination of Service only during the applicable time period determined in accordance with this Section and thereafter shall terminate:

11

(i)Death or Disability. If the Participant’s Service is terminated by reason of the death or Disability of the Participant, the Option, to the extent unexercised and exercisable on the date on which the Participant’s Service terminated, may be exercised by the Participant (or the Participant’s guardian or legal representative or other person who acquired the right to exercise the Option by reason of the Participant’s death) at any time prior to the expiration of six (6) months (or such longer period of time as determined by the Committee, in its discretion) after the date on which the Participant’s Service terminated, but in any event no later than the date of expiration of the Option’s term as set forth in the Award Agreement evidencing such Option (the “Option Expiration Date”). If an Option intended to be an Incentive Stock Option is exercised by a Participant more than three (3) months following the Participant’s termination of Service by reason of a Disability which is not a “permanent and total disability” as defined in Section 22(e)(3) of the Code, such exercise will be treated as the exercise of a Nonstatutory Stock Option to the extent required by Section 422 of the Code. The Participant’s Service shall be deemed to have terminated on account of death if the Participant dies within three (3) months after the Participant’s termination of Service.

(ii)Retirement. If the Participant’s Service is terminated by reason of the Retirement of the Participant, the Option may be exercised at such time (but in any event no later than the Option Expiration Date) and in such amounts as shall be determined by the Committee at the time of grant of the Option and set forth in the Award Agreement.

(iii)Termination for Cause. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, if the Participant’s Service is terminated for Cause, the Option shall terminate and cease to be exercisable immediately upon such termination of Service.

(iv)Other Termination of Service. If the Participant’s Service terminates for any reason, except death, Disability, Retirement or Cause, the Option, to the extent unexercised and exercisable by the Participant on the date on which the Participant’s Service terminated, may be exercised by the Participant within thirty (30) days (or such longer period of time as determined by the Committee, in its discretion) after the date on which the Participant’s Service terminated, but in any event no later than the Option Expiration Date.

(b)Extension if Exercise Prevented by Law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, other than termination of Service for Cause, if the exercise of an Option within the applicable time periods set forth in Section 6.5(a) is prevented by the provisions of Section 12.1 below regarding compliance with securities laws, the Option shall remain exercisable until thirty (30) days after the date the Participant is notified by the Company that the Option is exercisable, but in any event no later than the Option Expiration Date.

(c)Extension if Participant Subject to Section 16(b). Notwithstanding the foregoing, other than termination of Service for Cause, if a sale within the applicable time periods set forth in Section 6.5(a) of shares acquired upon the exercise of the Option would subject the Participant to suit under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, the Option shall remain exercisable until the earliest to occur of (i) the tenth (10th) day following the date on which a sale of such shares by the Participant would no longer be subject to such suit, (ii) the one hundred and ninetieth (190th) day after the Participant’s termination of Service, or (iii) the Option Expiration Date.

12

6.6Transferability of Options. During the lifetime of the Participant, an Option shall be exercisable only by the Participant or the Participant’s guardian or legal representative. No Option shall be assignable or transferable by the Participant, except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent permitted by the Committee, in its discretion, and set forth in the Award Agreement evidencing such Option, a Nonstatutory Stock Option shall be assignable or transferable subject to the applicable limitations, if any, described in the General Instructions to Form S-8 Registration Statement under the Securities Act.

SECTION 7. RESTRICTED STOCK

7.1Grant of Restricted Stock. Subject to the provisions of Section 1.3, 3 and 5, Awards of Restricted Stock may be granted to Participants at any time and from time to time as shall be determined by the Committee, including, without limitation, upon the attainment of one or more Performance Goals as described in Section 9.4. If either the grant of Restricted Stock or the lapsing of the Restriction Period is to be contingent upon the attainment of one or more Performance Goals, the Committee shall follow procedures substantially equivalent to those set forth in Sections 9.3 through 9.5. Each grant of Restricted Stock shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement that shall specify the number of shares of Stock subject to and the other terms, conditions and restrictions of such Award as the Committee shall determine. No Restricted Stock Award or purported Restricted Stock Award shall be a valid and binding obligation of the Company unless evidenced by a fully executed Award Agreement. Award Agreements evidencing Restricted Stock Awards may incorporate all or any of the terms of the Plan by reference and shall comply with and be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in Sections 7.2 through 7.6 below.

7.2Purchase Price. No monetary payment (other than applicable Tax-Related Items withholding) shall be required as a condition of receiving shares of Restricted Stock, the consideration for which shall be services actually rendered to a Participating Company or for its benefit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Participant shall furnish consideration in the form of cash or past services rendered to a Participating Company or for its benefit having a value not less than the par value of the shares of Stock subject to such Restricted Stock Award.

7.3Vesting and Restrictions on Transfer. Shares issued pursuant to any Restricted Stock Award may or may not be made subject to Vesting Conditions based upon the satisfaction of such Service requirements, conditions, restrictions or performance criteria, including, without limitation, Performance Goals as described in Section 9.4, as shall be established by the Committee and set forth in the Award Agreement evidencing such Award. During any Restriction Period in which shares acquired pursuant to a Restricted Stock Award remain subject to Vesting Conditions, such shares may not be sold, exchanged, transferred, pledged, assigned or otherwise alienated or hypothecated. Upon request by the Company, each Participant shall execute any agreement evidencing such transfer restrictions prior to the receipt of shares of Stock hereunder and shall promptly present to the Company any and all certificates representing shares of Stock acquired hereunder for the placement on such certificates of appropriate legends evidencing any such transfer restrictions. All rights with respect to Restricted Stock granted to a Participant hereunder shall be exercisable during his or her lifetime only by such Participant.

7.4Other Restrictions. The Committee may impose such other restrictions on any shares of Restricted Stock granted hereunder as it may deem advisable, including, without limitation, restrictions under applicable Federal securities law and under any blue sky or state securities laws applicable to such shares, and may legend the certificates representing the Restricted Stock to give appropriate notice of such restrictions.

13

7.5Voting Rights; Dividends and Distributions. Except as provided in this Section, Section 7.4 and any Award Agreement, during the Restriction Period applicable to shares subject to a Restricted Stock Award, the Participant shall have all of the rights of a stockholder of the Company holding shares of Stock, including the right to vote such shares. Participants may, if the Committee so determines, be credited with dividends paid with respect to shares of Common Stock underlying a Restricted Stock Award in a manner determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, provided that payment of such dividends complies with or qualifies for an exemption under Section 409A of the Code. The Committee may apply any restrictions to the dividends that the Committee deems appropriate. The Committee, in its sole discretion, may determine the form of payment of dividends, including cash, shares of Stock or Restricted Stock. However, in the event of a dividend or distribution paid in shares of Stock or any other adjustment made upon a change in the capital structure of the Company as described in Section 5.3, then any and all new, substituted or additional securities or other property (other than normal cash dividends) to which the Participant is entitled by reason of the Participant’s Restricted Stock Award shall be immediately subject to the same Vesting Conditions as the shares subject to the Restricted Stock Award with respect to which such dividends or distributions were paid or adjustments were made.

7.6Effect of Termination of Service. Unless otherwise provided by the Committee in the grant of a Restricted Stock Award and set forth in the Award Agreement, the effect of a Participant’s termination of Service on his or her Restricted Stock Award shall be as follows:

(a)Death or Disability. If the Participant’s Service is terminated by reason of the death or Disability of the Participant during the Restriction Period, the restrictions applicable to the shares of Restricted Stock pursuant to Section 7.3 shall terminate automatically with respect to all such shares.

(b)Other Termination of Service. If the Participant’s Service terminates during the Restriction Period for any reason except death or Disability, any shares of Restricted Stock still subject to restrictions pursuant to Section 7.3 at the date of such termination shall be forfeited and automatically reacquired by the Company; provided, however, that, in the event of an involuntary termination of the Participant’s Service, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may waive the automatic forfeiture of any or all such shares and/or add such new restrictions to such shares of Restricted Stock as it deems appropriate.

SECTION 8. RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS

8.1Grant of Restricted Stock Units. Subject to the provisions of Sections 1.3, 3 and 5, Awards of Restricted Stock Units may be granted to Participants at any time and from time to time as shall be determined by the Committee, including, without limitation, upon the attainment of one or more Performance Goals as described in Section 9.4. If either the grant of a Restricted Stock Unit Award or the Vesting Conditions with respect to such Award is to be contingent upon the attainment of one or more Performance Goals, the Committee shall follow procedures substantially equivalent to those set forth in Sections 9.3 through 9.5. Restricted Stock Unit Awards shall be evidenced by Award Agreements specifying the number of Restricted Stock Units subject to the Award, in such form as the Committee shall from time to time establish. No Restricted Stock Unit Award or purported Restricted Stock Unit Award shall be a valid and binding obligation of the Company unless evidenced by a fully executed Award Agreement. Award Agreements evidencing Restricted Stock Units may incorporate all or any of the terms of the Plan by reference and shall comply with and be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in Sections 8.2 through 8.7 below.

8.2Purchase Price. No monetary payment (other than applicable Tax-Related Items withholding, if any) shall be required as a condition of receiving a Restricted Stock Unit Award, the consideration for which shall be services actually rendered to a Participating Company or for its benefit.

14

8.3Vesting.

8.4Voting, Dividend Equivalent Rights and Distributions. Participants shall have no voting rights with respect to shares of Stock represented by Restricted Stock Units until the date of the issuance of such shares (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company). Participants may, if the Committee so determines, be credited with dividend equivalents paid with respect to shares of Common Stock underlying a Restricted Stock Unit Award in a manner determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, provided that payment of such dividend equivalents complies with or qualifies for an exemption under Section 409A of the Code. The Committee may apply any restrictions to the dividend equivalents that the Committee deems appropriate. The Committee, in its sole discretion, may determine the form of payment of dividend equivalents, including cash, shares of Stock or Restricted Stock Units. In the event of a dividend or distribution paid in shares of Stock or any other adjustment made upon a change in the capital structure of the Company as described in Section 5.3, appropriate adjustments shall be made in the Participant’s Restricted Stock Unit Award so that it represents the right to receive upon settlement any and all new, substituted or additional securities or other property (other than normal cash dividends) to which the Participant would entitled by reason of the shares of Stock issuable upon settlement of the Award, and all such new, substituted or additional securities or other property shall be immediately subject to the same Vesting Conditions as are applicable to the Award.

8.5Effect of Termination of Service. Unless otherwise provided by the Committee in the grant of a Restricted Stock Unit Award and set forth in the Award Agreement, the effect of a Participant’s termination of Service on his or her Restricted Stock Unit Award shall be as follows:

(a)Death or Disability. If the Participant’s Service is terminated by reason of the death or Disability of the Participant during the vesting period, the Vesting Conditions applicable to the Restricted Stock Units pursuant to Section 8.3 shall terminate automatically with respect to all such Restricted Stock Units.

(b)Other Termination of Service. If the Participant’s Service terminates during the vesting period for any reason except death or Disability, any Restricted Stock Units still subject to Vesting Conditions pursuant to Section 8.3 at the date of such termination shall be forfeited; provided, however, that, in the event of an involuntary termination of the Participant’s Service, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may waive the Vesting Conditions of any or all such Restricted Stock Units and/or add such new Vesting Conditions to such Restricted Stock Units as it deems appropriate.

8.6Settlement of Awards. The Company shall issue to a Participant on the date on which Restricted Stock Units subject to the Participant’s Restricted Stock Unit Award vest or on such other date determined by the Committee, in its discretion, and set forth in the Award Agreement one (1) share of Stock (and/or any other new, substituted or additional securities or other property pursuant to an adjustment described in Section 8.4) for each Restricted Stock Unit then becoming vested or otherwise to be settled on such date, subject to the withholding of applicable Tax-Related Items. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if permitted by the Committee and set forth in the Award Agreement, the Participant may elect in accordance with terms specified in the Award Agreement to defer receipt of all or any portion of the shares of Stock or other property otherwise issuable to the Participant pursuant to this Section. Any deferral election made pursuant to the terms of this Section 8.6 shall be made by giving notice in a manner and within the time prescribed by the Company and in compliance with Section 409A of the Code.

15

8.7Nontransferability of Restricted Stock Unit Awards. Prior to the issuance of shares of Stock in settlement of a Restricted Stock Unit Award, the Award shall not be subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, or garnishment by creditors of the Participant or the Participant’s beneficiary, except transfer by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.

SECTION 9. PERFORMANCE SHARES AND PERFORMANCE UNITS

9.1Grant of Performance Shares or Performance Units. Subject to the provisions of Sections 1.3, 3 and 5, the Committee, at any time and from time to time, may grant Awards of Performance Shares or Performance Units to such Participants and in such amounts, as it shall determine. Each grant of a Performance Share or Performance Unit Award shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement that shall specify the number of Performance Shares or Performance Units subject thereto, the value of each Performance Share or Performance Unit, the Performance Goals and Performance Period applicable to the Award, and the other terms, conditions and restrictions of the Award as the Committee shall determine. No Performance Share or Performance Unit Award or purported Award shall be a valid and binding obligation of the Company unless evidenced by a fully executed Award Agreement. Award Agreements evidencing Performance Share or Performance Unit Awards may incorporate all or any of the terms of the Plan by reference and shall comply with and be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in Sections 9.2 through 9.10 below.

9.2Value of Performance Shares and Performance Units. Unless otherwise provided by the Committee in granting an Award, each Performance Share shall have an initial value equal to the Fair Market Value of one (1) share of Stock, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 5.3, on the effective date of grant of the Performance Share, and each Performance Unit shall have an initial value of one hundred dollars ($100). The final amount payable to the Participant in settlement of a Performance Share or Performance Unit will depend on the extent to which Performance Goals established by the Committee are attained within the applicable Performance Period established by the Committee.

9.3Establishment of Performance Goals and Performance Period. The Committee, in its discretion, shall establish in writing the Performance Period and Performance Goal(s) applicable to each Performance Share or Performance Unit Award. Unless otherwise permitted in compliance with the requirements under Section 162(m) with respect to “performance-based compensation” and to the extent the Performance Share or Performance Unit Award is intended to be “performance-based compensation,” the Committee shall establish the Performance Goal(s) applicable to each Award no later than the earlier of (a) the date ninety (90) days after the commencement of the applicable Performance Period or (b) the date on which 25% of the Performance Period has elapsed, and, in any event, at a time when the outcome of the Performance Goals remains substantially uncertain. Such Performance Goal(s), when measured at the end of the Performance Period, shall determine the ultimate value of the Award to be paid to the Participant. To the extent the Performance Share or Performance Unit Award is intended to be “performance-based compensation,” the Performance Goals, once established, shall not be changed during the Performance Period. The Company shall notify each Participant granted a Performance Share or Performance Unit Award of the terms of such Award, including the Performance Period and applicable Performance Goals.

9.4Measurement of Performance Goals. Performance Goals shall be established by the Committee on the basis of targets to be attained (“Performance Targets”) with respect one or more Performance Measures of business or financial performance. Performance Measures shall have the same meanings as used in the Company’s financial statements, or if such terms are not used in the Company’s financial statements, they shall have the meaning applied pursuant to generally accepted accounting principles, or as used generally in the Company’s industry. Performance Targets may include a minimum, maximum, target level and intermediate levels of performance, with the ultimate value of a Performance Share or Performance Unit Award determined by the level attained during the applicable Performance Period. A Performance Target may be stated as an absolute value or as a value determined relative to a standard selected by the Committee. Performance Measures and/or Performance Goals shall be calculated with respect to the Company and each Subsidiary Corporation consolidated therewith for financial reporting purposes or such division or other business unit thereof as may be selected by the Committee.

16

For purposes of the Plan, the Performance Measures applicable to an Award shall be calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, but prior to the accrual or payment of any Performance Share or Performance Unit Award for the same Performance Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing and to the extent permitted by Section 162(m) with respect to Awards intended to be “performance-based compensation,” the Committeewill appropriately make adjustments in the method of calculating the attainment of Performance Goals for a Performance Period as follows, unless the terms of an Award provide for different types of adjustments: (1) to exclude restructuring and/or other nonrecurring charges; (2) to exclude exchange rate effects; (3) to exclude the effects of changes to generally accepted accounting principles; (4) to exclude the effects of any statutory adjustments to corporate tax rates; (5) to exclude the effects of any “extraordinary items” as determined under generally accepted accounting principles; (6) to exclude the dilutive effects of acquisitions or joint ventures; (7) to assume that any business divested by the Company achieved performance objectives at targeted levels during the balance of a Performance Period following such divestiture; (8) to exclude the effect of any change in the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company by reason of any stock dividend or split, stock repurchase, reorganization, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, spin-off, combination or exchange of shares or other similar corporate change, or any distributions to common stockholders other than regular cash dividends; (9) to exclude the effects of stock-based compensation and the award of bonuses under the Company’s bonus plans; (10) to exclude costs incurred in connection with potential acquisitions or divestitures that are required to expensed under generally accepted accounting principles; (11) to exclude the goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges that are required to be recorded under generally accepted accounting principles and (12) to exclude the effect of any other unusual, non-recurring gain or loss or other extraordinary item.

9.5Determination of Value of Performance Shares and Performance Units. As soon as practicable following the completion of the Performance Period for each Performance Share and Performance Unit Award, the Committee shall certify in writing the extent to which the applicable Performance Goals have been attained and the resulting final value of the Award earned by the Participant and to be paid upon its settlement in accordance with the terms of the Award Agreement. The Committee shall have no discretion to increase the value of an Award payable upon its settlement in excess of the amount called for by the terms of the Award Agreement on the basis of the degree of attainment of the Performance Goals as certified by the Committee. However, notwithstanding the attainment of any Performance Goal, if permitted under a Participant’s Award Agreement evidencing a Performance Share or Performance Unit Award, the Committee shall have the discretion, on the basis of such criteria as may be established by the Committee, to reduce some or all of the value of an Award that would otherwise be paid upon its settlement. No such reduction may result in an increase in the amount payable upon settlement of another Participant’s Award. As soon as practicable following the Committee’s certification, the Company shall notify the Participant of the determination of the Committee.

17

9.6Dividend Equivalents. Participants may, if the Committee so determines, be credited with dividends or dividend equivalents paid with respect to shares of Common Stock underlying a Performance Share or Performance Unit Award in a manner determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, provided that payment of such dividends or dividend equivalents complies with or qualifies for an exemption under Section 409A of the Code. The Committee may apply any restrictions to the dividends or dividend equivalents that the Committee deems appropriate. The Committee, in its sole discretion, may determine the form of payment of dividend equivalents, including cash, shares of Stock, Performance Shares or Performance Units.

9.7Form and Timing of Payment. Payment of the ultimate value of a Performance Share or Performance Unit Award earned by a Participant as determined following the completion of the applicable Performance Period pursuant to Sections 9.5 and 9.6 may be made in cash, shares of Stock, or a combination thereof as determined by the Committee. Payments in shares of Stock shall be determined by (i) the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the last day of such Performance Period, (ii) the average Fair Market Value of a share of Stock over the first thirty (30) days of such Performance Period or (iii) in such other manner as determined by the Committee in advance of or within the first ninety (90) days of the Performance Period. Payment may be made in a lump sum or installments as prescribed by the Committee and set forth in the Award Agreement. If any payment is to be made on a deferred basis, the Committee may, but shall not be obligated to, provide for the payment of Dividend Equivalents or interest during the deferral period. Any payment made on a deferred basis shall be made in a manner and within the time prescribed by the Committee and in compliance with Section 409A of the Code.

9.8Restrictions Applicable to Payment in Shares. Shares of Stock issued in payment of any Performance Share or Performance Unit Award may be fully vested and freely transferable shares or may be shares of Restricted Stock subject to Vesting Conditions as provided in Section 7.3. Any such shares of Restricted Stock shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement and shall be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in Sections 7.3 through 7.6 above.

9.9Effect of Termination of Service. Unless otherwise provided by the Committee in the grant of a Performance Share or Performance Unit Award and set forth in the Award Agreement, the effect of a Participant’s termination of Service on his or her Performance Share or Performance Unit Award shall be as follows:

(a)Death, Disability or Retirement. If the Participant’s Service is terminated by reason of the death, Disability or Retirement of the Participant while he or she is the holder of a Performance Share or Performance Unit Award but before the completion of the applicable Performance Period, the value of the Participant’s Award shall be determined by the extent to which the applicable Performance Goals have been attained with respect to the entire Performance Period and shall be prorated based on the number of months of the Participant’s Service during the Performance Period. Payment shall be made following the end of the Performance Period in any manner permitted by Section 9.7.

(b)Other Termination of Service. If the Participant’s Service terminates for any reason except death, Disability or Retirement before the completion of the Performance Period applicable to a Performance Share or Performance Unit Award held by such Participant, such Award shall be forfeited in its entirety; provided, however, that in the event of an involuntary termination of the Participant’s Service, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may waive the automatic forfeiture of all or any portion of any such Award and provide for payment of such Award or portion thereof on the same basis as if the Participant’s Service had terminated by reason of Retirement.

9.10Nontransferability. Prior to settlement in accordance with the provisions of the Plan, no Performance Share or Performance Unit may be subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, exchange, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, or garnishment by creditors of the Participant or the Participant’s beneficiary, except transfer by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. All rights with respect to a Performance Share or Performance Unit Award granted to a Participant hereunder shall be exercisable during his or her lifetime only by such Participant or the Participant’s guardian or legal representative.

18

SECTION 10. OTHER STOCK-BASED AWARDS

Other Stock-Based Awards valued in whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise based on, Stock, including the appreciation in value thereof may be granted either alone or in addition to Stock Awards. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Committee will have sole and complete authority to determine the persons to whom and the time or times at which such Other Stock-Based Awards will be granted, the number of shares of Stock (or the cash equivalent thereof) to be granted pursuant to such Other Stock-Based Awards and all other terms and conditions of such Other Stock-Based Awards.

In the event the Acquiring Corporation elects not to assume or substitute for such outstanding Awards, and provided that the Participant’s Service has not terminated prior to the effective date of the Change in Control (unless, the Participant’s Service terminated within three (3) months prior to the effective date of the Change in Control or, with respect to Performance Shares or Performance Units, the Participant’s Service terminated by reason of the death, Disability or Retirement of the Participant), all unexercisable, unvested or unpaid portions of such outstanding Awards shall become, in accordance with this Section 11.1 and Section 11.2 below, immediately exercisable and vested in full immediately prior to the effective date of the Change in Control and immediately payable, as applicable, within ten (10) days following the effective date of the Change in Control. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the value of Performance Shares and Performance Units shall be determined and paid based upon the greater of (i) the extent to which the applicable Performance Goals have been attained during the Performance Period up to the effective date of the Change in Control or (ii) the pre-established 100% of target level with respect to each Performance Target comprising the applicable Performance Goals.

Any Options which are neither assumed or substituted for by the Acquiring Corporation nor exercised as of the date of the Change in Control shall terminate as of the effective date of the Change in Control.

SECTION 12. REQUIREMENTS OF LAW

12.1Compliance with Securities Law. The granting of Awards and the issuance of shares of Stock pursuant to any Award shall be subject to compliance with all applicable laws, rules, and regulations, and to such approvals by any governmental agencies, securities exchanges or market systems as may be required. In addition, no Option may be exercised unless (a) a registration statement under the Securities Act shall at the time of exercise of the Option be in effect with respect to the shares issuable upon exercise of the Option or (b) in the opinion of legal counsel to the Company, the shares issuable upon exercise of the Option may be issued in accordance with the terms of an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. The inability of the Company to obtain from any regulatory body having jurisdiction the authority, if any, deemed by the Company’s legal counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any shares hereunder shall relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to issue or sell such shares as to which such requisite authority shall not have been obtained.

15.3Rights as a Stockholder. A Participant shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to any shares covered by an Award until the date of the issuance of a certificate for such shares (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company). No adjustment shall be made for dividends, distributions or other rights for which the record date is prior to the date such certificate is issued, except as provided in Section 5.3 or another provision of the Plan.

15.4Provision of Information. Each Participant shall be given access to information concerning the Company equivalent to that information generally made available to the Company’s common stockholders.

15.5Unfunded Obligation. Any amounts payable to Participants pursuant to the Plan shall be unfunded obligations for all purposes, including, without limitation, Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. No Participating Company shall be required to segregate any monies from its general funds, or to create any trusts, or establish any special accounts with respect to such obligations. The Company shall retain at all times beneficial ownership of any investments, including trust investments, which the Company may make to fulfill its payment obligations hereunder. Any investments or the creation or maintenance of any trust or any Participant account shall not create or constitute a trust or fiduciary relationship between the Committee or any Participating Company and a Participant, or otherwise create any vested or beneficial interest in any Participant or the Participant’s creditors in any assets of any Participating Company. The Participants shall have no claim against any Participating Company for any changes in the value of any assets which may be invested or reinvested by the Company with respect to the Plan.

15.6Indemnification. In addition to such other rights of indemnification as they may have as members of the Committee or officers or employees of the Participating Company Group, members of the Committee and any officers or employees of the Participating Company Group to whom authority to act for the Committee or the Company is delegated shall be indemnified by the Company against all reasonable expenses, including attorneys’ fees, actually and necessarily incurred in connection with the defense of any action, suit or proceeding, or in connection with any appeal therein, to which they or any of them may be a party by reason of any action taken or failure to act under or in connection with the Plan, or any right granted hereunder, and against all amounts paid by them in settlement thereof (provided such settlement is approved by independent legal counsel selected by the Company) or paid by them in satisfaction of a judgment in any such action, suit or proceeding, except in relation to matters as to which it shall be adjudged in such action, suit or proceeding that such person is liable for gross negligence, bad faith or intentional misconduct in duties; provided, however, that within sixty (60) days after the institution of such action, suit or proceeding, such person shall offer to the Company, in writing, the opportunity at its own expense to handle and defend the same.

15.7Compliance With Section 409A of the Code. The Plan and all Awards made hereunder shall be interpreted, construed and operated to reflect the intent of the Company that all aspects of the Plan and the Awards shall be interpreted either to be exempt from the provisions of Section 409A of the Code or, to the extent subject to Section 409A of the Code, comply with Section 409A of the Code and any regulations and other guidance thereunder. This Plan may be amended at any time, without the consent of any party, to avoid the application of Section 409A of the Code in a particular circumstance or that is necessary or desirable to satisfy any of the requirements under Section 409A of the Code, but the Company shall not be under any obligation to make any such amendment.

22

Anything in this Plan to the contrary notwithstanding, if an Award constitutes an item of deferred compensation under Section 409A of the Code and becomes payable by reason of a Participant’s termination of employment or service with the Board shall not be made to the Participant unless the Participant’s termination of employment or service with the Board constitutes a “separation from service” (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and any the regulations or other guidance thereunder). In addition, no such payment or distribution shall be made to the Participant prior to the earlier of (a) the expiration of the six-month period measured from the date of the Participant’s separation from service or (b) the date of the Participant’s death, if the Participant is deemed at the time of such separation from service to be a “specified employee” (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and any the regulations or other guidance thereunder) and to the extent such delayed commencement is otherwise required in order to avoid a prohibited distribution under Section 409A of the Code and any the regulations or other guidance thereunder. Except as provided in an Award Agreement, all payments which had been delayed pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence shall be paid to the Participant in a lump sum upon expiration of such six-month period (or, if earlier, upon the Participant’s death).

15.8Non-Exempt Employees. If an Option is granted to an Employee who is a non-exempt employee for purposes of the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, as amended, the Option will not be first exercisable for any shares of Stock until at least six (6) months following the date of grant of the Option (although the Award may vest prior to such date). Consistent with the provisions of the Worker Economic Opportunity Act, (i) if such non-exempt employee dies or suffers a Disability, (ii) upon a corporate transaction in which such Option is not assumed, continued, or substituted, (iii) upon a Change in Control, or (iv) upon the Participant’s retirement (as such term may be defined in the Participant’s Award Agreement in another agreement between the Participant and the Company, or, if no such definition, in accordance with the Company’s then current employment policies and guidelines), the vested portion of any Options may be exercised earlier than six months following the date of grant. The foregoing provision is intended to operate so that any income derived by a non-exempt employee in connection with the exercise or vesting of an Option will be exempt from his or her regular rate of pay. To the extent permitted and/or required for compliance with the Worker Economic Opportunity Act to ensure that any income derived by a non-exempt employee in connection with the exercise, vesting or issuance of any shares under any other Award will be exempt from the employee’s regular rate of pay, the provisions of this Section 15.8 will apply to all Awards and are hereby incorporated by reference into such Award Agreements.

15.9Compliance with Section 16(b). With respect to Participants who are Insiders, all transactions under the Plan are intended to comply with all applicable conditions of Rule 16b-3. All transactions under the Plan involving Insiders are subject to such conditions, regardless of whether the conditions are expressly set forth in the Plan. Any provision of the Plan that is contrary to a condition of Rule 16b-3 shall not apply to such Insiders.

15.10Electronic Delivery. Any reference herein to a written agreement or document will include any agreement or document delivered electronically, filed publicly at www.sec.gov (or any successor website thereto) or posted on the Company’s intranet.

15.11Clawback/Recovery. All Awards granted under the Plan will be subject to recoupment in accordance with any clawback policy that the Company is required to adopt pursuant to the listing standards of any national securities exchange or association on which the Company’s securities are listed or as is otherwise required by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act or other applicable law. In addition, the Committee may impose such other clawback, recovery or recoupment provisions in an Award Agreement as the Committee determines necessary or appropriate, including but not limited to a reacquisition right in respect of previously acquired shares of Stock or other cash or property upon the occurrence of cause.
