WHEREAS, the Participant is an Employee of the Company;

WHEREAS, the Company wishes to provide the Participant the opportunity to earn a cash bonus based on the Company’s success in reducing expenses for the fiscal years 2006 through 2008 (the “Performance Period”) subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement; and

WHEREAS, all capitalized terms not defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings given such terms in the Plan.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the various covenants and agreements herein contained, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1.   Eligibility, Grant and Vesting of Target Award

(a) The Participant shall be eligible to participate in the Company’s Plan on the terms and subject to the conditions contained herein and in the Plan.

(b) The Participant’s initial target award shall be equal to $[80% of the cash portion of the Target LTIP Award] (the “Initial Target Award”). The Initial Target Award shall be earned in full by the Participant so long as (a) the Company’s expenses for fiscal year 2008 are at or below $ [ ] (the “Expense Target”) and (b) the Participant remains a full-time employee of the Company from the date hereof until January 1, 2009 (the “Vesting Date” and, together with the Expense Target, the “Vesting Conditions”).

(c) The Participant shall also be eligible for an additional cash bonus (the “Additional Target Award”) based on the Participant’s contribution over the course of the Performance Period toward meeting the Company’s Expense Target. The Additional Target Award, if any, shall be determined and awarded by the Company during the first quarter of 2009 and shall be payable on the same terms as, and subject to the same conditions as, the Initial Target Award (together with the Additional Target Award, if any, the “Target Award”).

(d) To the extent that the Company falls short of the Expense Target, the

Target Award shall be reduced or eliminated by multiplying it by the Applicable Payout Percentage as established in Exhibit A hereto that corresponds to the actual amount of expenses incurred by the Company in fiscal year 2008.

(e) Subject to Section 5, and assuming satisfaction of the Vesting Conditions, the Target Award, if any, will be paid in cash to the Participant promptly following completion of the Company’s annual audit for the 2008 fiscal year, which is expected to be complete on or before March 15, 2009.

(f) The Employee agrees not to take any actions that would serve to reduce artificially or inappropriately the Company’s expenses in fiscal year 2008 by accelerating expenses into fiscal year 2007 or delaying expenses into fiscal year 2009 or otherwise. The Participant further agrees to notify the Board through the Company’s Chief Compliance Officer, currently the Senior Vice President of Human Resources, as provided in the USA Mobility, Inc. Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, of any actions taken by other Company employees that, in the judgment of the Participant, may constitute such an inappropriate shifting or manipulation of expenses.

2.   Forfeiture or Proration of Target Award

(a) Termination without Cause; Death; Disability . If the Participant is terminated by the Company without Cause (as hereinafter defined), dies or Participant’s employment terminates due to permanent disability (as determined under the Company’s long-term disability policy) prior to the Vesting Conditions being satisfied, the Participant’s Target Award will equal the product of (i) the Target Award, multiplied by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days the Participant was continuously employed with the Company or an Affiliate thereof from January 1, 2006 through the termination date, and the denominator of which is 1095 days and (iii) multiplied by the Applicable Payout Percentage upon determination thereof. The amount, if any, of the Target Award as so determined shall be paid in accordance with the provisions of Section 1(e).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Change in Control (as defined herein) occurs after the Participant’s termination of employment by the Company without Cause or upon death or permanent disability, but prior to January 1, 2009, and the Company is on track with respect to its targeted expense reduction goals set forth in the Company’s 2006 to 2010 Long Term Strategic Plan (Fourth Quarter 2005) immediately prior to the Change In Control, as reasonably determined by the Committee in its business judgment with input from the Company’s CEO, then immediately prior to the closing of the transaction that results in a Change In Control, Participant (or if applicable Participant’s Estate) shall be entitled to receive a cash award under the Plan equal to the product of (A) the Initial Target Award, multiplied by (B) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days the Participant was continuously employed with the Company or an Affiliate thereof from January 1, 2006 through the date of Participant’s termination of employment, and Participant (or Participant’s estate, if applicable) shall not be entitled to any other portion of the Initial Target Award. This Agreement shall terminate upon any such payment to Participant or Participant’s estate.

(b) Termination for Cause. If the Participant’s employment is terminated by the Company for Cause, the Participant shall forfeit his or her Target Award without any further action by the Company, immediately upon such termination, and the Participant will have no further rights pursuant to this Agreement.

(c) Change in Control. So long as (i) the Company is on track with respect to its targeted expense reduction goals set forth in the Company’s 2006 to 2010 Long Term Strategic Plan (Fourth Quarter 2005) immediately prior to any Change In Control, as reasonably determined by the Committee in its business judgment with input from the Company’s CEO, and (ii) the Participant is employed by the Company immediately prior to the closing of the transaction that results in a Change of Control, then immediately prior to such closing Participant shall be entitled to receive a cash award equal to the product of (A) the Initial Target Award, multiplied by (B) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days the Participant was continuously employed with the Company or an Affiliate thereof from January 1, 2006 through the date immediately prior to the closing date of the transaction that results in a Change of Control. This Agreement shall terminate and Participant shall have no further rights hereunder upon (i) the payment of any cash award to Participant under this Section 2(c), or (ii) if no such payment is made under this Section 2(c), upon the closing of the transaction that results in a Change in Control.

(d) Examples. For illustration purposes only, if the Participant’s Target Award is $[ ], the Company’s total expenses for the twelve month period ending on December 31, 2008 are $ [ ] and the Participant remains continuously employed by the Company through January 1, 2009, the Participant’s Target Award will be $[ ] (85 multiplied by $[ ]). Assuming the same facts except that the Participant is terminated by the Company without Cause on February 3, 2008, the Participant’s Target Award will be $[ ] ($[ ] multiplied by 764/1095 multiplied by         .85).

EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN

RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT

THIS RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”), dated effective as of [ ] (the “Grant Date”), between USA Mobility, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and      (the “Participant”).

WITNESSETH:

WHEREAS, the Company maintains the USA Mobility, Inc. Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”);

WHEREAS, the Participant is an employee of the Company;

WHEREAS, the Company wishes to provide the Participant the opportunity to earn shares of restricted stock based on the Company’s success in reducing expenses for the fiscal years 2006 through 2008 (the “Performance Period”) subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement; and

WHEREAS, all capitalized terms not defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings given such terms in the Plan.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the various covenants and agreements herein contained, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Eligibility, Grant of and Vesting of Restricted Stock

(a) The Participant shall be eligible to participate in the Company’s Plan on the terms and subject to the conditions contained herein and in the Plan.

(b) The Company hereby grants to the Participant a total of [80% of the initial equity portion/$28.67 (the average stock price for the five days preceding February 1, 2006, the Board’s approval of the LTIP)] shares of Restricted Stock (the “Initial Target Award”), subject to the terms, restrictions and other conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Plan.

(c) The Initial Target Award shall be earned in full by the Participant so long as (a) the Company’s expenses for fiscal year 2008 are at or below $[ ] (the “Expense Target”) and (b) the Participant remains a full-time employee of the Company from the date hereof until January 1, 2009 (the “Vesting Date” and, together with the Expense Target, the “Vesting Conditions”).

(d) The Participant shall also be eligible for an additional award of restricted shares (the “Additional Target Award”) based on the Participant’s contribution over the course of the Performance Period toward meeting the Company’s Expense Target. The Additional Target Award, if any, shall be determined and awarded by the Company during the first quarter of 2009 and shall be payable on the same terms as, and subject to the same conditions as, the Initial Target Award (together with the Additional Target Award, if any, the “Target Award Shares” or “Shares”).

(e) To the extent that the Company falls short of the Expense Target, the

Target Award Shares shall be reduced or eliminated by multiplying the total Target Award Shares by the Applicable Payout Percentage contained on Exhibit A hereto.

(f) The Company shall cause the Shares to be issued and a stock certificate or certificates representing the Shares to be registered in the name of the Participant or held in book entry form promptly upon execution of this Agreement. If a stock certificate or certificates is issued, it shall be delivered to, and held in custody by the Company until such shares are forfeited, or vest and distributed to the Participant or Participant’s estate, in accordance with this Agreement.

(g) Subject to Section 5, and assuming satisfaction of the Vesting Conditions, the Target Award Shares, if any, shall be distributed to the Participant promptly following completion of the Company’s annual audit for the 2008 fiscal year, which is expected to be completed on or before March 15, 2009.

(h) The Employee agrees not to take any actions that would serve to reduce artificially or inappropriately the Company’s expenses in fiscal year 2008 by accelerating expenses into fiscal year 2007 or delaying expenses into fiscal year 2009 or otherwise. The Participant further agrees to notify the Board through the Company’s Chief Compliance Officer, currently the Senior Vice President of Human Resources, as provided in the USA Mobility, Inc. Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, of any actions taken by other Company employees that, in the judgment of the Participant, may constitute such an inappropriate shifting or manipulation of expenses.

2. Forfeiture or Proration of Target Award Shares

(a) Termination without Cause; Death; Disability. If the Participant is terminated by the Company without Cause (as hereinafter defined), dies or Participant’s employment terminates due to permanent disability (as determined under the Company’s long-term disability policy) prior to the Vesting Conditions being satisfied, the Participant shall be entitled to retain the number of Shares equal to the product of (i) the total number of Shares granted pursuant to this Agreement, multiplied by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days the Participant was continuously employed with the Company or an Affiliate thereof from January 1, 2006 through the termination date, and the denominator of which is 1095 days, rounded down to the nearest whole number and (iii) multiplied by the Applicable Payout Percentage upon determination thereof. The amount, if any, of the Target Award Shares as so determined shall be distributed in accordance with the provisions of Section 1(g); the remainder of the Target Award Shares shall be forfeited by the Participant.

Notwithstanding the foregoing if a Change in Control (as defined herein) occurs after the Participant’s termination of employment by the Company without Cause or upon death or permanent disability, but prior to January 1, 2009, and the Company is on track with respect to its targeted expense reduction goals set forth in the Company’s 2006 to 2010 Long Term Strategic Plan (Fourth Quarter 2005) immediately prior to the Change In Control, as reasonably determined by the Committee in its business judgment with input from the Company’s CEO, then immediately prior to the closing of the transaction that results in a Change in Control, that number of shares equal to the product of (A) the total number of Shares granted pursuant to this Agreement, multiplied by (B) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days the Participant was continuously employed with the Company or an Affiliate thereof from January 1, 2006 through the date of Participant’s termination of employment, shall vest and be distributed to Participant or Participant’s estate, as applicable. This Agreement shall terminate upon any such distribution of Shares to Participant or Participant’s estate.

(b) Termination for Cause. If the Participant’s employment is terminated by the Company for Cause, the Participant shall forfeit his or her Target Award Shares without any further action by the Company, immediately upon such termination, and the Participant will have no further rights pursuant to this Agreement.

(c) Change in Control. So long as (i) the Company is on track with respect to its targeted expense reduction goals set forth in the Company’s 2006 to 2010 Long Term Strategic Plan (Fourth Quarter 2005) immediately prior to any Change In Control, as reasonably determined by the Committee in its business judgment with input from the Company’s CEO, and (ii) the Participant is employed by the Company immediately prior to the closing of the transaction that results in a Charge In Control, then immediately prior to such closing, that number of Shares equal to the product of (A) the total number of Shares granted pursuant to this Agreement, multiplied by (B) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days the Participant was continuously employed with the Company or an Affiliate thereof from January 1, 2006 through the date immediately prior to the closing date of the transaction that results in a Change of Control, shall vest and be distributed to Participant. This Agreement shall terminate and any unvested Shares shall be forfeited upon either (i) the distribution of any Shares to participant under this Section 2(c), or (ii) if no distribution is made under this Section 2(c), upon the closing of the transaction that results in a Change in Control.

(d) Examples. For illustration purposes only, if the Participant is awarded a total of [ ] Shares, the Company’s total expenses for the twelve month period ending on December 31, 2008 are $[ ] and the Participant remains continuously employed by the Company through January 1, 2009, [ ] Shares shall vest (.85 multiplied by [ ]) and the remaining Shares shall be forfeited. Assuming the same facts except that the Participant is terminated by the Company without Cause on February 3, 2008, [ ] Shares shall vest ([ ] multiplied by 764/1095 days multiplied by .85) and the remaining Shares shall be forfeited.

(e) Rights As A Stockholder. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, the Participant shall have all rights and privileges of a stockholder of the Company with respect to the Shares, including voting rights and the right to be credited on an unvested basis with dividends and distributions paid with respect to such Shares as provided in Section 2(f) herein.

(f) Dividends. The Company will retain custody of all cash dividends and other distributions (“Retained Distributions”) made or declared with respect to the Shares (and such Retained Distributions will be subject to the restrictions and the other terms and conditions under this Agreement that are applicable to the Shares) until such time, if ever, as the Shares with respect to which such Retained Distributions shall have been made, paid or declared shall have become vested as provided by this Agreement. If so approved by the Company, the Participant may elect whether such Retained Distributions received in the form of cash will be held in an interest bearing account or, with the consent of the Committee, reinvested in purchasing additional Shares; provided that the election shall not be made during a period in which any stockholder is prohibited from trading under any policy of the Company or by the rules of the Exchange Act. Such Retained Distributions shall be paid as soon as administratively possible, but no later than 45 days, after such Retained Distributions have vested pursuant to satisfaction of the Vesting Conditions, or as provided under Section 2 (a) or Section 2 (c), if applicable.

(g) Spendthift Clause. No Shares or any interest or right therein or part thereof, prior to vesting in accordance with the terms hereof, shall be liable for the debts, contracts or engagements of the Participant or his or her successors in interest or shall be subject to disposition by transfer, alienation, anticipation, pledge, hypothecation, encumbrance, assignment or any other means, whether such disposition be voluntary or involuntary or by operation of law by judgment, levy, attachment, garnishment or any other legal or equitable proceedings (including bankruptcy), any attempted disposition thereof shall be null and void and of no effect; provided however, that this subsection shall not prevent transfers by will or by the applicable laws of descent and distribution.

APPENDIX A TO RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT

1. Grant of the RSUs. As set forth in the Grant Notice, the Corporation has granted the Participant RSUs in exchange for past and future services to the Corporation. However, no Shares shall be issued to the Participant until the time set forth in Section 2. Prior to actual payment of any Shares, such RSUs will represent an unsecured obligation of the Corporation, payable only from the general assets of the Corporation.

2. Issuance of Shares.

(a) Subject to Section 2(b), Shares shall be issued to the Participant on the earlier of (i) the date the Participant is no longer an Eligible Director, or (ii) immediately prior to the date of a Change in Control (to the extent such Change in Control results in a “change in ownership of a corporation,” a “change in effective control of a corporation” or a “change in ownership of a substantial portion of a corporation’s assets,” as such provisions are used in Section 409A of the Code). After such date the Corporation shall promptly cause to be issued (either in book-entry form or otherwise) to the Participant or the Participant’s beneficiaries, as the case may be, Shares with respect to such vested RSUs. No fractional Shares shall be issued under this Agreement.

(b) No Shares shall be issued to the Participant pursuant to this Section 2 during the six-month period following the Participant’s termination of service as an Eligible Director unless the Corporation determines, in its good faith judgment, that issuing such Shares at the time or times indicated in this Section would not cause the Participant to incur an additional tax under Section 409A of the Code (in which case such Shares shall be issued at the time or times indicated in this Section). If the issuance of any Shares are delayed as a result of the previous sentence, on the first day following the end of the six-month period, the Corporation will issue to the Participant the Shares that would have otherwise been previously paid to the Participant under this Agreement (as such Shares may have been adjusted pursuant to the terms of the Plan).

3. Death of Participant. Any distribution or delivery to be made to the Participant under this Agreement will, if the Participant is then deceased, be made to the administrator or executor of the Participant’s estate. Any such administrator or executor must furnish the Corporation with (a) written notice of his or her status as transferee, and (b) evidence satisfactory to the Corporation to establish the validity of the transfer and compliance with any laws or regulations pertaining to said transfer.

4. Taxes. The Participant is ultimately liable and responsible for all taxes owed in connection with the RSU, regardless of any action the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries takes with respect to any tax withholding obligations that arise in connection with the RSU. Neither the Corporation nor any of its subsidiaries makes any representation or undertaking regarding the treatment of any tax withholding in connection with the grant of the RSU or the subsequent sale of Shares issuable pursuant to the RSU. The Corporation and its subsidiaries do not commit and are under no obligation to structure the RSU to reduce or eliminate the Participant’s tax liability.

5. Dividends. In the event the Corporation declares dividends or distributions with respect to the Shares subject to the RSUs granted pursuant to this Agreement, the Participant shall be entitled to receive additional RSUs, issued in accordance with Section 2 of this Agreement, in an amount determined by dividing the cash value (as determined by the Committee if such dividend or distribution is not in cash) any such dividend or distribution by the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on date the dividend or distribution is declared, provided that the Participant remains an Eligible Director on the record date of such dividend or distribution. In the event of the Participant’s death or termination of employment for any reason between the date the dividend or distribution is declared and the applicable record date, the Participant’s estate or the Participant, as applicable, will receive such dividends or distributions in the form otherwise payable to the holders of shares of Stock, provided that the estate or the Participant, as applicable, continues to hold the Shares upon which the dividends or distribution are declared through the applicable record date.

6. Rights as Stockholder. Except at set forth in Section 5 of this Agreement, neither the Participant nor any person claiming under or through the Participant will have any of the rights or privileges of a stockholder of the Corporation in respect of any Shares deliverable hereunder unless and until certificates representing such Shares (which may be in book entry form) will have been issued and recorded on the records of the Corporation or its transfer agents or registrars, and delivered to the Participant (including through electronic delivery to a brokerage account). After such issuance, recordation and delivery, the Participant will have all the rights of a stockholder of the Corporation with respect to voting such Shares and receipt of dividends and distributions on such Shares.

7. Award is Not Transferable. Except to the limited extent provided in Section 3 above, this Award of RSUs and the rights and privileges conferred hereby will not be transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated in any way by the Participant (whether by operation of law or otherwise) and will not be subject to sale under execution, attachment or similar process, until the Participant has been issued the Shares. Upon any attempt by the Participant to transfer, assign, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of this Award, or any right or privilege conferred hereby, or upon any attempted sale under any execution, attachment or similar process, this Award and the rights and privileges conferred hereby immediately will become null and void.

8. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, represents the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the RSUs.

9. Binding Agreement. Subject to the limitation on the transferability of this Award contained herein, this Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the heirs, legatees, legal representatives, successors and assigns of the parties hereto.

10. Additional Conditions to Issuance of Certificates for Shares. The Corporation shall not be required to issue any certificate or certificates for Shares hereunder prior to fulfillment of any or all the following conditions (as determined by the Committee): (a) the admission of such Shares to listing on all stock exchanges on which such class of stock is then listed; (b) the completion of any registration or other qualification of such Shares under any state or federal law or under the rulings or regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission or any other governmental regulatory body, which the Committee shall, in its absolute discretion, deem necessary or advisable; (c) the obtaining of any approval or other clearance from any state or federal governmental agency, which the Committee shall, in its absolute discretion, determine to be necessary or advisable; and (d) the lapse of such reasonable period of time following the date set forth in Section 2 as the Committee may establish from time to time for reasons of administrative convenience.

11. Plan Governs. This Agreement is subject to all terms and provisions of the Plan. In the event of a conflict between one or more provisions of this Agreement and one or more provisions of the Plan, the provisions of the Plan will govern.

12. Committee Authority. The Committee will have the power to interpret the Plan and this Agreement and to adopt such rules for the administration, interpretation and application of the Plan and the Agreement as are consistent therewith and to interpret or revoke any such rules. All actions taken and all interpretations and determinations made by the Committee in good faith will be final and binding upon the Participant, the Corporation and all other interested persons. No member of the Committee will be personally liable for any action, determination or interpretation made in good faith with respect to the Plan or this Agreement.

13. Captions. Captions provided herein are for convenience only and are not to serve as a basis for interpretation or construction of this Agreement.

14. Agreement Severable. In the event that any provision in this Agreement will be held invalid or unenforceable, such provision will be severable from, and such invalidity or unenforceability will not be construed to have any effect on, the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

15. Notice of Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed by the internal substantive laws, but not the choice of law rules of the State of Delaware.

USA Mobility, Inc.
Senior Management Bonus Plan
2006

(Short Term Incentive Plan, STIP)

Purpose

The purpose of USA Mobility, Inc.’s 2006 Senior Management Bonus Plan is to establish a coordinated effort to achieve key financial objectives and to provide a competitive total compensation opportunity for participants based on successful results.

Measurement Criteria, Definitions and Calculations

One Net Customer (Subscriber) and one Cash Flow annual objective have been determined by the Board and will apply to all participants in the plan except regional vice presidents. Performance against these targets will be based upon overall Corporate attainment of the objectives and will be weighted as indicated below. The performance review period will be annual (January 1 through December 31, 2006) with the exception of regional vice presidents, who will be evaluated quarterly.

Senior Management Targets for 2006:

    [ ] in Operating Cash Flow- 70% weighting

    [ ] Subscribers- 30% weighting

Quarterly revenue and subscriber targets have been established for regional vice presidents based upon the size and potential of the respective Region. Performance against these two targets will be based upon specific Regional attainment of the respective revenue and subscriber objectives. The third criteria, Corporate performance against the Corporate operating cash flow objective, is included and will be weighted according to the list below.

RVP Targets for 2006:

    Quarter ending regional Subscribers (Units in Service) –40% weighting

    Quarter ending regional Revenue – 40% weighting

    Quarterly Corporate Operating Cash Flow – 20% weighting

Participation

The 2006 Senior Management Bonus Plan begins on January 1, 2006 and ends on December 31, 2006. Generally speaking, all members of Senior Management including CEO, COO, CFO, General Counsel, EVPs, SVPs, VPs and RVPs are eligible to participate in the 2006 Management Bonus Plan (see attached Exhibit C for a list of participating employees).

    An employee who is hired, promoted or transferred into of the above bonus-eligible positions after January 1, 2006 but before October 1, 2006 will participate in the Plan on a pro-rated basis according to his/her employment action date. In these cases, the pro-ration would be based on the number of full months worked out of 12 in a bonus-eligible position during the performance review period.

    Any employee who is hired, promoted or transferred into a bonus- eligible position on or after October 1, 2006 will not be eligible to participate in the 2006 Management Bonus Plan.

Payment

Annual Bonus awards will be paid as soon as practicable after the annual audit has been completed and the annual 10K report has been filed with the SEC.

For Regional Vice Presidents whose bonuses are paid quarterly, each bonus shall be paid as soon as practicable after the 10Q has been completed and filed with the SEC.

An employee’s annual (or pro-rated, if applicable) salary as of December 31, 2006 will be used to calculate bonus targets and awards.

If a bonus-eligible individual’s employment is involuntarily terminated (other than for cause), he/she will be eligible to receive a pro-rated bonus based on Company Operating Performance, calculated with available data and in no event greater than 100% of the individual’s pro-rated Target Bonus minus any amounts already paid in 2006 bonus, provided the employee has executed an appropriate release and followed any other applicable and customary termination procedures.

If a bonus-eligible individual’s employment is involuntarily terminated (other than for cause) after the review period ends but before bonuses are paid, he/she will receive a bonus award calculated and paid as if he/she remained employed on the date of such payment, provided the employee has executed an appropriate release and followed any other applicable and customary termination procedures. In both the afore-mentioned circumstances, bonus awards will be paid on the earlier of: (1) the same date as bonus awards are paid to continuing employees; or (2) December 31, 2007.

Bonus-eligible individuals who voluntarily terminate their employment before a bonus award is paid will receive no bonus award.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Plan, no payments contemplated by this Plan will be paid during the six-month period following the employee’s termination of service unless the Company determines, in its good faith judgment, that paying such amounts at the time or times indicated in this Section would not cause the employee to incur an additional tax under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and related Department of Treasury guidance (including such Department of Treasury guidance as may be issued after the adoption hereof) (in which case such amounts shall be paid at the time or times indicated herein). If the payment of any amounts are delayed as a result of the previous sentence, on the first day following the end of the six-month period, the Company will pay the employee a lump-sum amount equal to the cumulative amounts that would have otherwise been previously paid to the employee under this Plan during such six month period.

Policies

All rights are forfeited to a bonus award under the 2006 Senior Management Bonus Plan if employment is terminated for CAUSE prior to the date bonuses are paid. As used in the 2006 Senior Management Bonus Plan, CAUSE shall mean the participant’s continued failure as determined by the company to satisfactorily perform his/her reasonable assigned duties in the capacity employed (other than as a result of incapacity due to physical or mental condition) or the participant’s willful engagement in illegal conduct or gross misconduct which is materially and demonstrably injurious to the Company, or conviction of a felony.

The 2006 Senior Management Bonus Plan replaces all former management bonus plans and is in no way indicative of future bonus plans. The CEO participates in the plan consistent with the terms of his employment agreement. The adoption of the 2006 Senior Management Bonus Plan shall not be deemed to give any employee the right to employment with the Company or to interfere with the right of the Company to discharge any employee at any time, nor shall it be deemed to give the Company the right to require any employee to remain in its employ.
