The Plan provides for payment of various forms of incentive compensation, and accordingly, is not intended to be a plan that is subject to ERISA, and shall be administered accordingly.

(a)        Authorized Shares. Subject to adjustment in a manner consistent with any adjustment made pursuant to Section 1.3(f), the total number of shares of Common Stock reserved and available for issuance in connection with Awards under the Plan shall not exceed 3,000,000 shares. The maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued under the Plan pursuant to the exercise of Incentive Stock Options is 2,000,000 shares.

No fractional shares shall be issued under the Plan. Payment for any fractional shares that would otherwise be issuable hereunder in the absence of the immediately preceding sentence shall be made in cash.

(b)     Share Counting. No Award may be granted if the number of shares of Common Stock to be delivered in connection with such Award exceeds the number of shares of Common Stock remaining available under this Plan, minus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable in settlement of or relating to then-outstanding Awards. For purposes of the immediately preceding sentence, (i) Awards of Options and Stock Appreciation Rights shall count against the number of shares remaining available for issuance pursuant to Awards granted under the Plan as one (1) share of Common Stock for each share of Common Stock subject to such Awards, and (ii) Full Value Awards shall count against the number of shares of Common Stock remaining available for issuance pursuant to Awards granted under the Plan as one and seventy-threeone-hundredths (1.73) shares of Common Stock for each share of Common Stock covered by such Awards.

(c)    Availability of Shares Not Issued Under Awards. Shares of Common Stock subject to an Award under this Plan that expires or is canceled, forfeited, exchanged, settled in cash, or otherwise terminated shall be added back to the Plan’s share reserve. With respect to any Options and Stock Appreciation Rights that expire or are canceled, forfeited, exchanged, settled in cash, or otherwise terminated, the Plan’s share reserve shall be credited with one (1) share of Common Stock for each share of Common Stock subject to such Awards. With respect to any Full-Value Awards that expire or are canceled, forfeited, exchanged, settled in cash, or otherwise terminated, the Plan’s share reserve shall be credited with one and seventy-three one-hundredths (1.73) shares of Common Stock for each share of Common Stock subject to such Awards. Notwithstanding the foregoing, shares of Common Stock subject to an Award under this Plan may not again be made available for issuance under the Plan if such shares of Common Stock are: (i) shares of Common Stock delivered to or withheld by the Company to pay the exercise price of an Option; (ii) shares of Common Stock delivered to or withheld by the Company to pay the withholding taxes related to an Award; or (iii) shares of Common Stock repurchased by the Company on the open market with the proceeds of an Award paid to the Company by or on behalf of a Participant. For the avoidance of doubt, when Stock Appreciation Rights are exercised and settled in shares of Common Stock, the full number of shares of Common Stock exercised shall no longer be available for issuance under the Plan.

(d)        Certain Limitations on Awards to Employees and Service Providers. The maximum number of shares of Common Stock subject to Options or Stock Appreciation Rights awarded to any one Employee or Service Provider pursuant to this Plan in any calendar year shall not exceed 2,000,000 shares. The maximum number of shares of Common Stock which may be subject to Full-Value Awards made to any one Employee or Service Provider pursuant to this Plan in any calendar year shall be 1,500,000 shares. The maximum amount of compensation which may be paid to any Employee or Service Provider in any calendar year pursuant to Awards that shall be settled in cash shall not exceed $7,500,000. The foregoing limitations on the number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued and that may be subject to Awards are subject to adjustment as provided in Section 1.3(f).

(e)        Certain Limitations on Awards to Non-Employee Directors. The maximum number of shares of Common Stock subject to Options or Stock Appreciation Rights awarded to any one Non-Employee Director pursuant to this Plan in any calendar year shall not exceed 400,000 shares. The maximum number of shares of Common Stock which may be subject to Full-Value Awards made to any one Non-Employee Director pursuant to this Plan in any calendar year shall be 300,000 shares. The maximum amount of compensation which may be paid to any Non-Employee Director in any calendar year pursuant to Awards that shall be settled in cash shall not exceed $500,000. The foregoing limitations on the number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued and that may be subject to Awards are subject to adjustment as provided in Section 1.3(f).

(f)        Share Adjustments. Notwithstanding the above, in the event that at any time after the Effective Date the outstanding shares of Common Stock are changed into or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or other securities of the Company by reason of a merger, consolidation, recapitalization, reclassification, stock split, stock dividend, combination

EXHIBIT 10.1

of shares or the like, the aggregate number and class of securities available under the Plan shall be appropriately adjusted by the Board. Upon the occurrence of any of the events described in the immediately preceding sentence, in order to preserve the fair value of Awards subject to the Plan, the Board shall adjust any or all of the following so that the fair value of the Award immediately after the event is equal to the fair value of the Award immediately prior to the event: (i) the remaining number of authorized shares of Common Stock with respect to which Awards may be granted, (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock subject to each and all outstanding Awards, (ii) the Exercise Price or other similar value with respect to an Award, (iv) the Performance Goals applicable to any outstanding Awards intended to qualify as Performance-Based Compensation (subject to such limitations as appropriate under Section 162(m) of the Code), and (v) any other terms of an Award that are affected by the event. Any adjustments to an outstanding Option or Stock Appreciation Right shall be made (x) without change in the total Exercise Price applicable to the Option or Stock Appreciation Right or any unexercised portion of the Option or Stock Appreciation Right (except for any change in such aggregate price resulting from rounding-off of share quantities or prices) and (y) with any necessary corresponding adjustment in Exercise Price per share. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all such adjustments, if any, shall be made in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code in the case of an Award to which Section 409A of the Code is applicable or would be so as a result of or in connection with any actual or proposed adjustment(s), in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 424(a) of the Code in the case of Incentive Stock Options, and in a manner consistent with Section 162(m) of the Code in the case of any Award held by a Covered Employee and intended to constitute Performance-Based Compensation. The Board’s determinations shall be final, binding and conclusive with respect to the Company and all other interested persons.

1.4        Prohibition of Repricing of Options and Stock Appreciation Rights Without Stockholder Approval. Except in connection with a corporate transaction involving the Company (including, without limitation, any stock dividend, distribution (whether in the form of cash, Common Shares, other securities, or other property), stock split, extraordinary cash dividend, recapitalization, Change in Control, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, repurchase, or exchange of shares of Common Stock or other securities, or similar transaction(s)), in no event shall the Exercise Price of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right be reduced following the grant of the Option or Stock Appreciation Right, nor shall an Option or Stock Appreciation Right be cancelled in exchange for a replacement Option or Stock Appreciation Right with a lower Exercise Price or in exchange for another type of Award or cash payment without stockholder approval. Notwithstanding the foregoing, appropriate adjustments may be made to outstanding Options and Stock Appreciation Rights pursuant to Section 1.3(f) and may be made to make changes to achieve compliance with applicable law, including Section 409A of the Code.

No member of the Board or the Committee shall be liable for any action or determination made in good faith with respect to the Plan or any Award granted hereunder, and the members of the Board and the Committee shall be entitled to indemnification to the fullest extent permitted by law and reimbursement by the Company and its Affiliates in respect of any claim, loss, damage or expense (including legal fees) arising from or 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 finally adjudged in such action, suit or proceeding that such person is liable for gross negligence, bad faith or intentional misconduct in the performance of his/her duties.

1.6        Granting of Awards to Participants. The Committee shall have the authority to grant, prior to the expiration date of the Plan, Awards to such Employees, Service Providers and Non-Employee Directors as may be selected by it, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan. In selecting the persons to receive Awards, including the type and size of the Award, the Committee may consider the contribution the recipient has made and/or may make to the growth of the Company or its Affiliates and any other factors that it may in good faith deem relevant. No member of the Committee shall vote or act upon any matter relating solely to himself/herself and shall affirmatively and formally recuse from any such actions (or discussions) at the earliest possible moment. Grants of Awards to members of the Committee must be ratified by the Board. In no event shall any Employee, Service Provider or Non-Employee Director, nor his, her or its legal representatives, heirs, legatees, distributees or successors have any right to participate in the Plan, except to such extent, if any, as permitted under the Plan and as the Board or the Committee may determine.

1.7Term of Plan. The Plan shall become effective on the Effective Date. No Award shall be granted under the Plan prior to the date on which the Plan is approved by the stockholders of the Company, unless its grant, vesting and settlement are expressly conditioned upon the approval of the Plan by the stockholders of the Company within twelve (12) months of the date the Plan was adopted by the Board. If the Plan is not approved by the stockholders of the Company within twelve (12) months of the date the Plan was adopted by the Board, all Awards, if any, granted under the Plan shall be automatically cancelled without any action required by the Company, the Board or the Committee and without any payment or consideration. If the Plan is timely approved by the stockholders of the Company and becomes effective, neither Awards properly granted under the Plan nor the authority of the Board or the Committee to amend, alter, adjust, suspend, discontinue, or terminate any such Award or to waive any conditions or rights under such Award, shall terminate by reason of the expiration of the term of the Plan. If not sooner terminated under the provisions of Section 1.8, the Plan shall terminate upon, and no further Awards shall be made, after the tenth (10th) anniversary of the Effective Date.

1.8Amendment and Discontinuance of the Plan. The Board may amend, suspend or terminate the Plan at any time without prior notice to or consent of any person; provided, however, that, except as permitted under Section 10.9 in connection with a Change of Control, no amendment (other than any amendment the Board deems necessary in order to permit Awards to

EXHIBIT 10.1

meet the requirements of the Code or other applicable laws, or to prevent adverse tax consequences to the Participants), suspension or termination of the Plan may without the consent of the holder of an Award, terminate such Award or adversely affect such person’s rights with respect to such Award in any material respect unless or to the extent specified in the Award itself; and provided further that, no amendment shall be effective prior to its approval by the stockholders of the Company, to the extent such approval is required by (a) applicable legal requirements or (b) the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Company’s stock may be listed.

In addition, during any periods when Awards of Restricted Stock are made and the Company does not have in place an effective registration statement on Form S-8 or other available form permitted by the Securities and Exchange Commission, any certificate or certificates representing shares of Restricted Stock (vested or unvested) shall bear a legend similar to the following:

“The shares represented by this certificate have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), or any other securities law. No sale, transfer or other disposition of such securities, or of any interest therein, may be made or shall be recognized unless in the satisfactory written opinion of counsel for, or other counsel satisfactory to, the issuer such transaction would not violate or require registration under the Act or other law.”

6.4        Delivery of Shares of Common. Stock. After the satisfaction of all of the terms and conditions set by the Committee with respect to an Award of Restricted Stock (including the withholding requirements and other requirements of ARTICLE XI), a certificate for the number of shares that are no longer subject to such restrictions, terms and conditions shall be delivered to the Participant.

Should the Participant die before receiving all vested amounts payable hereunder, the balance shall be paid to the Participant’s estate by this date.

ARTICLE VIII

OTHER STOCK OR PERFORMANCE-BASED AWARDS

The Committee is hereby authorized to grant to Employees, Service Providers and Non-Employee Directors “Other Stock or Performance-Based Awards,” which shall consist of a right which (a) is not an Award described in any other Article of this Plan and (b) is denominated or payable in, valued in whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise based on or related to, shares of Common Stock or cash as deemed by the Committee to be consistent with the purposes of this Plan. Subject to the terms

EXHIBIT 10.1

of this Plan, the Committee shall determine the terms and conditions of any such Other Stock or Performance-Based Awards, including the applicable Performance Criteria (if any) which shall be contained in an Award Agreement covering such Awards. Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Plan, to the extent any Other Stock or Performance-Based Awards are subject to vesting, except as otherwise may be required under Section 409A of the Code, upon the vesting of Other Stock or Performance-Based Awards, payment or the settlement of such Award shall be made (whether in cash or shares of Common Stock or a combination of both) in a single lump sum no later than the fifteenth (15th) day of the third (3rd) calendar month following the date on which vesting occurs. If the Committee determines that an Other Stock or Performance-Based Award to a Covered Employee shall meet the requirements for Performance-Based Compensation, the applicable Award Agreement shall so state and it and the Award shall be subject to and comply with ARTICLE IX.

ARTICLE IX

PERFORMANCE-BASED COMPENSATION

9.1        Awards of Performance-Based Compensation. Award Agreements for Awards that are intended and designated by the Committee as subject to the requirements for Performance-Based Compensation, other than Awards of Options and Stock Appreciation Rights, shall so state, shall specify Performance Criteria, each of which shall constitute a Performance Goal, and shall, along with the Award, be subject to and comply with this ARTICLE IX.

9.2        Performance Goals.

(a) General. Performance Goals shall be established by the Committee for each Performance Period and set forth in each Award Agreement. Each Performance Goal shall consist of and incorporate (i) one or more designated Business Criteria, (ii) the quantitatively determinable level(s), standard(s), degree(s) or range(s) of achievement to be applied to each such Business Criteria for the Performance Period, and (iii) the amount of compensation (which shall be objectively determinable under one or more formulas or pre-determined standards) that shall vest under the Performance Goal for the achievement of each specified Business Criteria at the prescribed level(s), standard(s), degree(s) or range(s). Performance-Based Compensation shall vest and shall be paid only if and to the extent vested under the Performance Goals. Performance Goals shall be established, Award shall be granted and the Award Agreement shall be provided to Participant and shall become binding at a time when the achievement of or outcome under each applicable Performance Goal is “substantially uncertain” (within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code), and in all events by no later than the earlier of the 90th day of the Performance Period or the lapse of 25 percent (25%) of the Performance Period, unless otherwise required or permitted for “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code. Performance Goals may differ among Awards granted to any one Participant or for Awards granted to different Participants. The Committee shall have the discretion to reduce the amount of Performance-Based Compensation payable under an Award (even if it has otherwise vested under the applicable Performance Goal) for a Participant’s negative conduct or other activities or factors as the Committee may determine, but it shall not have the authority to increase Performance-Based Compensation above the amount which vests under the Performance Goals or to pay or provide compensation in lieu of Performance-Based Compensation which does not so vest.

(b) Business Criteria. The Business Criteria are as follows and includes each of the following as well on an “adjusted basis” as determined by the Committee:

EXHIBIT 10.1

i.	stock price;
ii.	earnings per share;
iii.	increase in revenues;

ix.	increase in assets;
x.	return on investment;
xi.	return on capital employed;
xii.	increase in working capital;
xiii.	return on equity;
xiv.	economic value added;
xv.	gross margin;
xvi.	net income;
xvii.	pretax earnings;

xxiii.	debt reduction;
xxiv.	successful completion of an acquisition, initial public offering, private placement of equity or debt;

A Performance Goal applicable to an Award may provide for a targeted level or levels of achievement measured on a GAAP or non-GAAP basis, as determined by the Committee. A Performance Goal also may (but is not required to) be based solely by reference to the performance of the individual, the Company as a whole or any subsidiary, division, business segment or business unit of the Company, or any combination thereof or based upon the relative performance of other companies or upon comparisons of any of the indicators of performance relative to a peer group of other companies. Unless otherwise stated, such a Performance Goal need not be based upon an increase or positive result under a particular business criterion and could include, for example, maintaining the status quo or limiting economic losses (measured, in each case, by reference to specific business criteria). The Committee, in its sole discretion, may provide that one or more objectively determinable adjustments shall be made to one or more of the Performance Goals applicable to an Award. Such adjustments may include one or more of the following: (i) items related to a change in accounting principle; (ii) items relating to financing activities; (iii) expenses for restructuring or productivity initiatives; (iv) other non-operating items; (v) items related to acquisitions; (vi) items attributable to the business operations of any entity acquired by the Company during the applicable performance period; (vii) items related to the disposal of a business or segment of a business; (viii) items related to discontinued operations that do not qualify as a segment of a business under applicable accounting standards; (ix) items attributable to any stock dividend, stock split, combination or exchange of stock occurring during the applicable performance period; (x) any other items of significant income or expense which are determined to be appropriate adjustments; (xi) items relating to unusual or extraordinary corporate transactions, events or developments, (xii) items related to amortization of acquired intangible assets; (xiii) items that are

EXHIBIT 10.1

outside the scope of the Company’s core, on-going business activities; (xiv) items relating to changes in tax laws; (xv) items relating to asset impairment charges; (xvi) items relating to gains or losses for litigation, arbitration and contractual settlements; or (xvii) items relating to any other unusual or nonrecurring events or changes in applicable law, accounting principles or business conditions.

(c) Written Determinations. All determinations by the Committee as to the establishment of Performance Goals and the amount and terms of each Award shall be made in writing. In addition, the Committee shall certify in writing prior to the payment of any compensation under any Award designated as intended to comply with the requirements of Performance-Based Compensation the results under each Business Criteria on which any Performance Goal is based, whether (and, if applicable, the degree to which) each Performance Goal and each other material term of the Award were satisfied, and the resulting amount of compensation vested and payable under such Award. The Committee may not delegate any responsibility relating to Awards subject to this ARTICLE IX.

(d) Status of Awards under Section 162(m) of the Code. It is the intent of the Company that Awards granted to Covered Employees and designated as intended to comply with the requirements for Performance-Based Compensation shall comply with the requirements necessary to constitute Performance-Based Compensation under Section 162(m)(4)(c) of the Code. Accordingly, the terms of this ARTICLE IX shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with Section 162(m) of the Code. If any provision of this Plan otherwise applicable to an Award that is designated as intended to comply with the requirements for Performance-Based Compensation does not so comply or is inconsistent with the provisions of this ARTICLE IX, with the effect that such Award would not comply with the requirements for Performance-Based Compensation, such other provision shall be construed or deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such requirements and the provisions of this ARTICLE IX shall prevail with respect to such Award, but only to the extent necessary to prevent that Award from failing to comply with the requirements for Performance-Based Compensation.

ARTICLE X

CERTAIN PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO ALL AWARDS

10.1.General. Awards shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement between the Company and the Participant in such forms as the Committee shall provide and may be granted on the terms and conditions set forth herein. In addition, the Committee may impose on any Award or the exercise thereof, such additional terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan, as the Committee shall determine. The terms, conditions and/or restrictions contained in an Award may differ from the terms, conditions and restrictions contained in any other Award. The Committee may amend an Award; provided, however, that, subject to Section 10.9, no amendment of an Award may, without the consent of the holder of the Award, adversely affect such person’s rights with respect to such Award in any material respect. (Adjustments pursuant to Section 1.3(f) shall not be considered as adversely affecting a person’s rights.) The Board or the Committee shall retain full power and discretion to accelerate or waive, at any time, any term or condition of an Award that is not mandatory under the Plan; provided, however, that subject to Section 10.9, the Board or the Committee shall not have the discretion to accelerate or waive any term or condition of an Award, to increase the amount, if any, otherwise payable in accordance with the terms of the Award, or to pay any amount in lieu of an amount not earned or vested under the terms of an Award if such Award is intended to qualify as Performance-Based Compensation and such discretion would cause the Award not to so qualify. Except in cases in which the Board or the Committee is authorized to require other forms of consideration under the Plan, or to the extent other forms of consideration must be paid to satisfy the requirements of the Alberta Business Corporations Act, no consideration other than services may be required for the grant of any Award.

10.2Stand-Alone, Additional and Tandem Awards. Awards granted under the Plan may, in the discretion of the Board or the Committee, be granted either alone or in addition to, or in tandem with, any other Award or any award granted under another plan of the Company, any Affiliate or any business entity to be acquired by the Company or an Affiliate, or any other right of a Participant to receive payment from the Company or any Affiliate. Any such additional or tandem Awards may be granted at any time. In addition, Awards may be granted in lieu of cash compensation, including in lieu of cash amounts payable under other plans of the Company or any Affiliate. Any action contemplated or otherwise permitted under this Section 10.2 shall be allowed and effective only to the extent that such action would not cause or otherwise result in adverse consequences under Section 409A of the Code.

10.3Term of Awards. The term or Restricted Period of each Award that is an Option, Stock Appreciation Right, Phantom Stock, Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Unit or Other Stock or Performance-Based Award shall be for such period as may be determined by the Board or the Committee; provided, however, that in no event shall the term of any such Award exceed a period of ten (10) years (or such shorter terms as may be required in respect of an Incentive Stock Option under Section 422 of the Code).

EXHIBIT 10.1

10.4Securities Requirements. No exercise of any Option or any Stock Appreciation Right shall be effective, and no payment of cash or transfer of shares of Common Stock will be made unless and until all then-applicable requirements imposed by federal and state securities and other laws, rules and regulations and by any regulatory agencies having jurisdiction and by any stock market or exchange upon which the Common Stock may be listed, have been fully met and the Company may require the Participant to take any reasonable action to meet such requirements. Company shall not be obligated to take any affirmative action in order to cause the issuance or transfer of shares pursuant to an Award to comply with any law or regulation described in the second preceding sentence.

10.5.Transferability.

(a)  Non-Transferable Awards. Except as otherwise specifically provided in the Plan, no Award and no right under the Plan, contingent or otherwise, other than Restricted Stock which has vested, will be (i) assignable, saleable or otherwise transferable by a Participant except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order or (ii) subject to any encumbrance, pledge or charge of any nature. No transfer by will or by the laws of descent and distribution shall be effective to bind the Company unless the Committee shall have been furnished with a copy of the deceased Participant’s will or such other evidence as the Committee may deem necessary to establish the validity of the transfer. Any attempted transfer in violation of this Section shall be void and ineffective for all purposes.

(b)  Ability to Exercise Rights. Except as otherwise specifically provided under the Plan, only the Participant or his or her guardian (if the Participant becomes Disabled), or in the event of his or her death, his or her legal representative or beneficiary, may exercise Options or Stock Appreciation Rights, receive cash payments and deliveries of shares or otherwise exercise rights under the Plan. The executor or administrator of the Participant’s estate, or the person or persons to whom the Participant’s rights under any Award will pass by will or the laws of descent and distribution, shall be deemed to be the Participant’s beneficiary or beneficiaries of the rights of the Participant hereunder and shall be entitled to exercise such rights as are provided hereunder.

10.6No Rights as a Stockholder. Except as otherwise provided in Section 6.3(b), a Participant who has received a grant of an Award or a transferee of such Participant shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to any shares of Common Stock until such person becomes the holder of record. Except as otherwise provided in Section 6.3(b) or Section 10.15, no adjustment shall be made for dividends (ordinary or extraordinary, whether in cash, securities or other property) or distributions or other rights for which the record date is prior to the date such stock certificate is issued.

10.7Listing and Registration of Shares of Common Stock. The Company, in its discretion, may postpone the issuance and/or delivery of shares of Common Stock upon any exercise of an Award until completion of such stock exchange listing, registration or other qualification of such shares under any state and/or federal law, rule or regulation as the Company may consider appropriate, and may require any Participant to make such representations and furnish such information as it may consider appropriate in connection with the issuance or delivery of the shares in compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations.

10.8Termination.

(a)  Termination for any reason. Except as otherwise provided in Section 10.8(b), upon the termination of Participant , any unvested Award granted pursuant to the Plan outstanding at the time of such termination and all rights thereunder shall be forfeited and shall wholly and completely terminate and no further vesting shall occur.

(b)  Continuation. The Board or the Committee, in its discretion, may provide for the continuation of any Award beyond a Participant’s termination for such period and upon such terms and conditions as the Board or the Committee may determine, except to the extent that such continuation would cause the Award to become subject to the provisions of Section 409A of the Code or cause adverse tax consequences under Section 409A, if the Award is subject to the provisions of Section 409A. This Section 10.8(b) shall not apply to any Award intended to qualify as Performance-Based Compensation.

10.9Change of Control.

(a) Change of Control. Unless otherwise provided in the Award Agreement, in the event of a Change of Control, any outstanding Awards shall be subject to the following rules:

(i) Options and Stock Appreciation Rights. All Options and Stock Appreciation Rights shall be fully vested and exercisable and the Committee shall either (1) give a Participant a reasonable opportunity to exercise the Option or Stock Appreciation Right before the transaction resulting in the Change of Control, or (2) pay the Participant the difference between the exercise price for the Option and Stock Appreciation Right and the consideration provided to other similarly

EXHIBIT 10.1

situated shareholders in such Change of Control. In either case, such Option and Stock Appreciation Right shall be cancelled immediately following the Change of Control. The Committee shall not be obligated to treat all Options and Stock Appreciation Rights subject to this Section 10.9 in the same manner.

(ii) Lapse of Restricted Stock and Unit Restrictions that are not Performance-Based. Any restrictions imposed on Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units that are not subject to Performance Criteria shall lapse. Restricted Stock Units shall be paid in cash or stock as provided in the Award document. If Restricted Stock Units are exempt from the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, the Restricted Stock Units shall be paid within thirty (30) days following the Change of Control. If Restricted Stock Units are subject to the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, then the time of payment will depend on whether the Change of Control is a distribution event under Treas. Reg. §1.409A-3(a)(5) (a “409A Change of Control”). If the Change of Control is a 409A Change of Control, then the Restricted Stock Units subject to the requirements of Section 409A of the Code shall be paid within the thirty (30) day period following the six (6) month anniversary of the Change of Control. If the Change of Control is not a 409A Change of Control, Restricted Stock Units subject to the requirements of Section 409A of the Code shall be paid as of the earlier of the time specified in the Award Agreement or one day after the six (6) month anniversary of the date the Participant has a Separation from Service following such Change of Control.

(iii) Vesting, Payment, and Achievement of Awards Subject to Performance Criteria. Awards subject to Performance Criteria shall vest at target.

(b) Right to Cash-Out. The Board shall, in connection with a Change of Control, have the right to require all, but not less than all, Participants to transfer and deliver to the Company all Awards previously granted to the Participants in exchange for an amount equal to the Cash Value of the Awards. Such right shall be exercised by written notice to all affected Participants. The amount payable to each Participant by the Company pursuant to this Section 10.9(b) shall be in cash or by certified check paid within five (5) days following the transfer and delivery of such Award (but in no event later than fifty (50) days following the date of the Change of Control) and shall be reduced by any taxes required to be withheld.

10.10Payment or Settlement of Awards. Unless otherwise specified in an Award Agreement, any Award may be settled in cash, shares of Common Stock, or a combination of cash and Common Stock. For this purpose, the withholding of shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable upon settlement of an Award in order to satisfy withholding taxes or to make payment for the Exercise Price of an Award shall be treated as settled in cash.

10.11Lock-Up Agreement. In the event of any underwritten public offering of the Company’s securities made by the Company pursuant to an effective registration statement filed under the Securities Act, the Board and the Committee shall have the right to impose market stand-off restrictions on each Award recipient whereby such Participant shall not offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge, hypothecate, grant any option to purchase or make any short sale of, or otherwise dispose of any shares of stock of the Company or any rights to acquire stock of the Company for such period of time from and after the effective date of such registration statement as may be established by the underwriter for such public offering; provided, however, that such period of time shall not exceed one hundred eighty (180) days from the effective date of the registration statement to be filed in connection with such public offering. The foregoing limitation shall not apply to shares registered in the public offering under the Securities Act.

10.12Stockholder Agreements/Investment Representations. As a condition to the exercise of an Option or the issuance of Common Stock hereunder, the Committee or the Board may require the Participant to enter into such agreements (including but not limited to a buy/sell or voting trust agreement) with respect to the shares as may be required of other stockholders of the Company. In addition, the Committee or the Board may require the Participant to represent and warrant at the time of any such exercise or issuance that the shares are being purchased only for investment and without any present intention to sell or distribute such shares, if, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, such a representation is required by any relevant provisions of law.

10.13Exemptions from Section 16(b) Liability. It is the intent of the Company that the grant of any Awards to or other transaction by a Participant who is subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act shall be exempt from Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act pursuant to an applicable exemption (except for transactions acknowledged by the Participant in writing to be non-exempt). Accordingly, if any provision of this Plan or any Award Agreement does not comply with the requirements of Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act as then applicable to any such transaction, such provision shall be construed or deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to the applicable requirements of Rule 16b-3 so that such Participant shall avoid liability under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act.

EXHIBIT 10.1

10.14Minimum Vesting Requirement. No Award shall vest earlier than the date that is one (1) year following the date the Award is made; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) the Committee may waive or provide for the lapse of such vesting restrictions upon the Participant’s death, Disability or upon a Change of Control, and (b) Awards that result in the issuance of an aggregate of up to five percent (5%) of the Common Stock that may be authorized for grant under Section 1.3(a) of the Plan (as such authorized number of shares of Common Stock may be adjusted as provided under the terms of the Plan) may be granted to any one or more Participants without regard to the minimum vesting requirement of this Section 10.14.

10.15Dividend and Dividend Equivalents. The Committee may provide that any Award (other than Options and Stock Appreciation Rights) that relates to shares of Common Stock shall earn dividends or dividend equivalents; provided, however, that the Committee shall not provide for the current payment of dividends or dividend equivalents with respect to any shares of Common Stock subject to an outstanding Award (or portion thereof) that has not vested. For any such Award, the Committee may provide only for the accrual of dividends or dividend equivalents that will not be payable to the Participant unless and until, and only to the extent that, the Award vests. Dividend or dividend equivalent rights shall be as specified in the Award Agreement or pursuant to a resolution adopted by the Committee with respect to outstanding Awards. No dividends or dividend equivalents shall be paid on Options or Stock Appreciation Rights.

ARTICLE XI

WITHHOLDING FOR TAXES

Any issuance of Common Stock pursuant to the exercise of an Option or a Stock Appreciation Right (if applicable) or in payment of any other Award under the Plan shall not be made until appropriate arrangements satisfactory to the Company have been made for the payment of any tax amounts (federal, state, local or other) that may be required to be withheld or paid by the Company with respect thereto. Such arrangements may, at the discretion of the Committee, include allowing the Participant to request the Company to withhold shares of Common Stock being acquired pursuant to the Award, whether through the exercise of an Option or as a distribution pursuant to the Award, which have an aggregate Fair Market Value as of the date of such withholding that is not greater than the maximum statutory withholding rate, together with payment of any remaining portion of such tax amounts in cash or by certified check payable and acceptable to the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if on the date of an event giving rise to a tax withholding obligation on the part of the Company the person is an officer or individual subject to Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act, such person may direct that such tax withholding be effectuated by the Company withholding the necessary number of shares of Common Stock (at the tax rate required by applicable law) from such Award payment or exercise.

ARTICLE XII

MISCELLANEOUS

Participants shall have no rights under the Plan other than as general unsecured creditors of the Company, except that insofar as they may have become entitled to payment of additional compensation by performance of services, they shall have the same rights as other Employees, Service Providers or Non-Employee Directors under general law. 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 nor constitute a trust or fiduciary relationship between the Committee or any Affiliate and a Participant, nor otherwise create any vested or beneficial interest in any Participant nor the Participant’s creditors in any assets of the Company or any Affiliate. The Participants shall have no claim against any Affiliate for any changes in the value of any assets which may be invested or reinvested by the Company with respect to the Plan. The Plan shall not constitute an “employee benefit plan” for purposes of Section 3(3) of ERISA.

12.10    Stockholder Agreements. The Board or the Committee may, from time to time, condition the grant, exercise or payment of any Award upon such Participant entering into a stockholders’ agreement, voting agreement, repurchase agreement or lockup or market standoff agreement in such form or forms as approved from time to time by the Board.

12.11    Specified Employee under Section 409A of the Code. Subject to any other restrictions or limitations contained herein, in the event that a “specified employee” (as defined under Section 409A of the Code) becomes entitled to a payment under the Plan that is subject to Section 409A of the Code on account of a “separation from service” (as defined under Section 409A of the Code), such payment shall not occur until the date that is six (6) months plus one (1) day from the date of such “separation from service.”

12.12    No Additional Deferral Features. No Award shall contain or reflect, include or be subject to, or be amended or affected or supplemented by any other agreement (including, but not limited to, employment agreements, other plan or arrangements of deferred compensation) so as to contain, reflect, include or be subject to, a “deferral feature” or an “additional deferral feature” within the meaning and usage of those terms under Section 409A of the Code.

12.13    Compliance with Section 409A of the Code. Certain items of compensation paid pursuant to this Plan are or may be subject to Section 409A of the Code.

12.14    Claw-back Policy.
