SECTION 2. ADMINISTRATION.
     The Plan shall be administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board or such other committee of the Board, composed of not less than two Disinterested Persons, each of whom shall be appointed by and serve at the pleasure of the Board. If at any time no Committee shall be in office, the functions of the Committee specified in the Plan shall be exercised by the Board.

2


 

     (a) to select the officers, employees and directors to whom Awards may from time to time be granted; provided that awards to non-employee directors may be made only in accordance with Section 13;
     (b) to determine whether and to what extent Incentive Stock Options, Non-Qualified Stock Options, Stock Appreciation Rights and Restricted Stock or any combination thereof are to be granted hereunder;
     (c) to determine the number of shares of Stock to be covered by each Award granted hereunder;
     (d) to determine the terms and conditions of any Award granted hereunder (including, but not limited to, the option price (subject to Section 5(a)), any vesting restriction or limitation and any vesting acceleration or forfeiture waiver regarding any Award and the shares of Stock relating thereto, based on such factors as the Committee shall determine);
     (e) to modify, amend or adjust the terms and conditions of any Award, at any time or from time to time, including, but not limited to, with respect to performance goals and measurements applicable to performance-based Awards pursuant to the terms of the Plan;
     (f) to determine to what extent and under what circumstances Stock and other amounts payable with respect to an Award shall be deferred; and
     (g) to determine under what circumstances a Stock Option may be settled in cash or Stock under Section 5(j).
     The Committee shall have the authority to adopt, alter and repeal such administrative rules, guidelines and practices governing the Plan as it shall, from time to time, deem advisable, to interpret the terms and provisions of the Plan and any Award issued under the Plan (and any agreement relating thereto) and to otherwise supervise the administration of the Plan.
     The Committee may act only by a majority of its members then in office, except that the members thereof may (i) delegate to an officer of the Company the authority to make decisions pursuant to paragraphs (c), (f), (g), (h) and (i) of Section 5 (provided that no such delegation may be made that would cause Awards or other transactions under the Plan to cease to be exempt from Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act) and (ii) authorize any one or more of their number or any officer of the Company to execute and deliver documents on behalf of the Committee.
     Any determination made by the Committee or pursuant to delegated authority pursuant to the provisions of the Plan with respect to any Award shall be made in the sole discretion of the Committee or such delegate at the time of the grant of the Award or, unless in contravention of any express term of the Plan, at any time thereafter. All decisions made by the Committee or any appropriately delegated officer pursuant to the provisions of the Plan shall be final and binding on all persons, including the Company and Plan participants.

SECTION 3. STOCK SUBJECT TO PLAN.
     Subject to adjustment as provided herein, the total number of shares of Stock of the Company available for grant under the Plan shall be 1,500,000; provided that no “covered employee”, as such term is defined in Section 162(m) of the Code, shall be granted more than 100,000 shares of Stock in any taxable year. Shares subject to an Award under the Plan may be authorized and unissued shares or may be treasury shares.
     If any shares of Restricted Stock are forfeited for which the participant did not receive any benefits of ownership (as such phrase is construed by the Commission or its Staff), or if any Stock Option (and related Stock Appreciation Right, if any) terminates without being exercised, or if any Stock Appreciation Right is exercised for cash, shares subject to such Awards shall again be available for distribution in connection with Awards under the Plan.
     In the event of any merger, reorganization, consolidation, recapitalization, stock dividend, stock split, extraordinary distribution with respect to the Stock or other change in corporate structure affecting the Stock, the Committee or Board may make such substitution or adjustments in the aggregate number and kind of shares reserved for issuance under the Plan, in the number, kind and option price of shares subject to outstanding Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights, in the number and kind of shares subject to other outstanding Awards granted under the Plan and/or such other substitution or adjustments in the consideration receivable upon exercise as it may determine to be appropriate in its sole discretion; provided, however, that the number of shares subject to any Award shall always be a whole number. Such adjusted option price shall also be used to determine the amount payable by the Company upon the exercise of any Stock Appreciation Right associated with any Stock Option.
SECTION 4. ELIGIBILITY.
     Officers, employees and directors of the Company, its subsidiaries and Affiliates who are responsible for or contribute to the management, growth and profitability of the business of the Company, its subsidiaries and Affiliates are eligible to be granted Awards under the Plan. Except as expressly authorized by Section 13 of the Plan, however, no grant shall be made to a director who is not an officer or a salaried employee.
SECTION 5. STOCK OPTIONS.
     Stock Options may be granted alone or in addition to other Awards granted under the Plan and may be of two types: Incentive Stock Options and Non-Qualified Stock Options. Any Stock Option granted under the Plan shall be in such form as the Committee may from time to time approve.
     The Committee shall have the authority to grant any optionee Incentive Stock Options, Non-Qualified Stock Options or both types of Stock Options (in each case with or without Stock Appreciation Rights). Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to employees of the Company and its subsidiaries (within the meaning of Section 424(f) of the Code). To the extent that any Stock Option is not designated as an Incentive Stock Option or even if so designated does not qualify as an Incentive Stock Option, it shall constitute a Non-Qualified Stock Option.

4


 

     The Committee may authorize the Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation, who need not be a Disinterested Person, to grant in any calendar year a Non-Qualified Stock Option (with or without Stock Appreciation Rights) for up to 3,000 shares of Stock to any employee of the Company who is not an executive officer of the Company subject to Section 1.6 of the Exchange Act. The Committee may limit or qualify such authorization in any manner it deems appropriate. Stock Options granted by the Chief Executive Officer shall have the terms and conditions determined by the Committee and the Committee shall periodically review such grants.
     Stock Options shall be evidenced by option agreements, the terms and provisions of which may differ. An option agreement shall indicate on its face whether it is intended to be an agreement for an Incentive Stock Option or a Non-Qualified Stock Option. The grant of a Stock Option shall occur on the date the Committee by resolution selects an individual to be a participant in any grant of a Stock Option, determines the number of shares of Stock to be subject to such Stock Option to be granted to such individual and specifies the terms and provisions of the Stock Option. The Company shall notify a participant of any grant of a Stock Option, and a written option agreement or agreements shall be duly executed and delivered by the Company to the participant. Such agreement or agreements shall become effective upon execution by the participant.
     Anything in the Plan to the contrary notwithstanding, no term of the Plan relating to Incentive Stock Options shall be interpreted, amended or altered nor shall any discretion or authority granted under the Plan be exercised so as to disqualify the Plan under Section 422 of the Code or, without the consent of the optionee affected, to disqualify any Incentive Stock Option under such Section 422.
     Stock Options granted under the Plan shall be subject to the following terms and conditions and shall contain such additional terms and conditions as the Committee shall deem desirable:
     (a) Option Price. The option price per share of Stock purchasable under a Stock Option shall be determined by the Committee and set forth in the option agreement, and shall not be less than the Fair Market Value of the Stock subject to the Stock Option on the date of grant, except that any Stock Options granted on the effective date of the Company’s initial public offering of Common Stock shall have an option price per share equal to the price per share paid by the public in such offering.
     (b) Option Term. The term of each Stock Option shall be fixed by the Committee, but no Stock Option shall be exercisable more than 10 years after the date the Stock Option is granted.
     (c) Exercisability. Except as otherwise provided herein, Stock Options shall be exercisable at such time or times and subject to such terms and conditions as shall be determined by the Committee. If the Committee provides that any Stock Option is exercisable only in installments, the Committee may at any time waive such installment exercise provisions, in whole or in part, based on such factors as the Committee may determine. In addition, the Committee may at any time, in whole or in part, accelerate the exercisability of any Stock Option.

5


 

     (d) Method of Exercise. Subject to the provisions of this Section 5, Stock Options may be exercised, in whole or in part, at any time during the option term by giving written notice of exercise to the Company specifying the number of shares of Stock subject to the Stock Option to be purchased.
     The option price of Stock to be purchased upon exercise of any Option shall be paid in full in cash (by certified or bank check or such other instrument as the Company may accept) or, if and to the extent set forth in the option agreement, may also be paid by one or more of the following: (i) in the form of unrestricted Stock already owned by the optionee (and, in the case of the exercise of a Non-Qualified Stock Option, Restricted Stock subject to an Award hereunder) based in any such instance on the Fair Market Value of the Stock on the date the Stock Option is exercised; provided, however, that, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option, the right to make a payment in the form of already owned shares of Stock may be authorized only at the time the Stock Option is granted; (ii) by requesting the Company to withhold from the number of shares of Stock otherwise issuable upon exercise of the Stock Option that number of shares having an aggregate fair market value on the date of exercise equal to the exercise price for all of the shares of Stock subject to such exercise; or (iii) by a combination thereof, in each case in the manner provided in the option agreement
     In the discretion of the Committee, payment for any shares subject to a Stock Option may also be made by delivering a properly executed exercise notice to the Company, together with a copy of irrevocable instructions to a broker to deliver promptly to the Company the amount of sale or loan proceeds to pay the purchase price. To facilitate the foregoing, the Company may enter into agreements for coordinated procedures with one or more brokerage firms.
     If payment of the option exercise price of a Non-Qualified Stock Option is made in whole or in part in the form of Restricted Stock, the number of shares of Stock to be received upon such exercise equal to the number of shares of Restricted Stock used for payment of the option exercise price shall be subject to the same forfeiture restrictions to which such Restricted Stock was subject, unless otherwise determined by the Committee.
     No shares of Stock shall be issued until full payment therefor has been made. Subject to any forfeiture restrictions that may apply if a Stock Option is exercised using Restricted Stock, an optionee shall have all of the rights of a stockholder of the Company holding the Stock that is subject to such Stock Option (including, if applicable, the right to vote the shares and the right to receive dividends), when the optionee has given written notice of exercise, has paid in full for such shares and, if requested, has given the representation described in Section 11(a).
     (e) Non-transferability of Stock Options. No Stock Option shall be transferable by the optionee other than (i) by will or by the laws of descent and distribution or (ii) in the case of a Non-Qualified Stock Option, pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order (as defined in the Code or Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, or the rules thereunder). All Stock Options shall be exercisable, during the optionee’s lifetime, only by the optionee or by the guardian or legal representative of the optionee or, in the case of a Non-Qualified Stock Option, its alternate payee pursuant to such qualified domestic relations order, it being understood that the terms “holder” and “optionee” include the guardian and legal representative of the optionee named in the option agreement and any person to whom an option

6


 

is transferred by will or the laws of descent and distribution or, in the case of a Non-Qualified Stock Option, pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order.
     (f) Termination by Death. If an optionee’s employment terminates by reason of death, any Stock Option held by such optionee may thereafter be exercised, to the extent then exercisable, or on such accelerated basis as the Committee may determine, for a period of one year (or such other period as the Committee may specify in the option agreement) from the date of such death or until the expiration of the stated term of such Stock Option, whichever period is the shorter. In the event of termination of employment due to death, if an Incentive Stock Option is exercised after the expiration of the exercise periods that apply for purposes of Section 422 of the Code, such Stock Option will thereafter be treated as a Non-Qualified Stock Option.
     (g) Termination by Reason of Disability. If an optionee’s employment terminates by reason of Disability, any Stock Option held by such optionee may thereafter be exercised by the optionee, to the extent it was exercisable at the time of termination, or on such accelerated basis as the Committee may determine, for a period of three years (or such shorter period as the Committee may specify in the option agreement) from the date of such termination of employment or until the expiration of the stated term of such Stock Option, whichever period is the shorter; provided, however, that if the optionee dies within such three-year period (or such shorter period), any unexercised Stock Option held by such optionee shall, notwithstanding the expiration of such three-year (or such shorter) period, continue to be exercisable to the extent to which it was exercisable at the time of death for a period of 12 months from the date of such death or until the expiration of the stated term of such Stock Option, whichever period is the shorter. In the event of termination of employment by reason of Disability, if an Incentive Stock Option is exercised after the expiration of the exercise periods that apply for purposes of Section 422 of the Code, such Stock Option will thereafter be treated as a Non-Qualified Stock Option.
     (h) Termination by Reason of Retirement. If an optionee’s employment terminates by reason of Retirement, any Stock Option held by such optionee may thereafter be exercised by the optionee, to the extent it was exercisable at the time of such Retirement or on such accelerated basis as the Committee may determine, for a period of three years (or such shorter period as the Committee may specify in the option agreement) from the date of such termination of employment or until the expiration of the stated term of such Stock Option, whichever period is the shorter; provided, however, that if the optionee dies within such three-year (or such shorter) period, any unexercised Stock Option held by such optionee shall, notwithstanding the expiration of such three-year (or such shorter) period, continue to be exercisable to the extent to which it was exercisable at the time of death for a period of 12 months from the date of such death or until the expiration of the stated term of such Stock Option, whichever period is the shorter. In the event of termination of employment by reason of Retirement, if an Incentive Stock Option is exercised after the expiration of the exercise periods that apply for purposes of Section 422 of the Code, such Stock Option will thereafter be treated as a Non-Qualified Stock Option.
     (i) Other Termination. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, if an optionee incurs a Termination of Employment for any reason other than death, Disability or Retirement, any Stock Option held by such Optionee shall thereupon terminate, except that such Stock Option, to the extent then exercisable, or on such accelerated basis as the Committee may

7


 

determine, may be exercised for the lesser of one year from the date of such Termination of Employment or the balance of such Stock Option’s term if such Termination of Employment of the optionee is involuntary and without Cause; provided, however, that if the optionee dies within such one-year period, any unexercised Stock Option held by such optionee shall notwithstanding the expiration of such one-year period, continue to be exercisable to the extent to which it was exercisable at the time of death for a period of 12 months from the date of such death or until the expiration of the stated term of such Stock Option, whichever period is the shorter. In the event of Termination of Employment for any reason other than death, Disability or Retirement, if an Incentive Stock Option is exercised after the expiration of the exercise periods that apply for purposes of Section 422 of the Code, such Stock Option will thereafter be treated as a Non-Qualified Stock Option. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, for the purposes of the Plan “Cause” shall mean (i) the conviction of the optionee for committing a felony under Federal law or the law of the state in which such action occurred, (ii) dishonesty in the course of fulfilling the optionee’s employment duties or (iii) willful and deliberate failure on the part of the optionee to perform his employment duties in any material respect.
     (j) Cashing Out of Stock Option. On receipt of written notice of exercise, the Committee may elect to cash out all or part of the portion of the shares of Stock for which a Stock Option is being exercised by paying the optionee an amount, in cash or Stock, equal to the excess of the Fair Market Value of the Stock over the option price times the number of shares of Stock for which to the Option is being exercised on the effective date of such cash out.
     Cash outs pursuant to this Section 5(j) relating to options held by optionees who are actually or potentially subject to Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act shall comply with the “window period” provisions of Rule 16b-3(e), to the extent applicable, and, in the case of cash outs of Non-Qualified Stock Options held by such optionees, the Committee may determine Fair Market Value under the pricing rule set forth in Section 6(b)(ii)(2).
     (k) Change in Control Cash Out. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, during the 60-day period from and after a Change in Control (the “Exercise Period”), unless the Committee shall determine otherwise at the time of grant, an optionee shall have the right, whether or not the Stock Option is fully exercisable and in lieu of the payment of the exercise price for the shares of Stock being purchased under the Stock Option and by giving notice to the Company, to elect (within the Exercise Period) to surrender all or part of the Stock Option to the Company and to receive cash, within 30 days of such notice, in an amount equal to the amount by which the Change in Control Price per share of Stock on the date of such election shall exceed the exercise price per share of Stock under the Stock Option (the “Spread”) multiplied by the number of shares of Stock granted under the Stock Option as to which the right granted under this Section 5(k) shall have been exercised; provided, however, that if the Change in Control is within six months of the date of grant of a particular Stock Option held by an optionee who is an officer or director of the Company and is subject to Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act no such election shall be made by such optionee with respect to such Stock Option prior to six months from the date of grant. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, if the end of such 60-day period from and after a Change in Control is within six months of the date of grant of a Stock Option held by an optionee who is an officer or director of the Company and is subject to Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, such Stock Option shall be cancelled in exchange for a cash payment to the optionee, effected on the day which is six months and one day after the date of grant of

8


 

such Option, equal to the Spread multiplied by the number of shares of Stock granted under the Stock Option.
     (l) Modification. Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan or any stock option agreement to the contrary, no Modification shall be made in respect to any Stock Option if such Modification would result in the Stock Option constituting a deferral of compensation or having an additional deferral feature.
     (m) Subject to Subjection (n) below, a “Modification” for purposes of Subsection (l), above, shall mean any change in the terms of a Stock Option (or change in the terms of the Plan or applicable stock option agreement) that may provide the holder of the Stock Option with a direct or indirect reduction in the exercise price of the Stock Option or an additional deferral feature, or an extension or renewal of the Stock Option, regardless of whether the holder in fact benefits from the change in terms. An extension of a Stock Option refers to the granting to the holder of an additional period of time within which to exercise the Stock Option beyond the time originally prescribed. A renewal of a Stock Option is the granting by the Company of the same rights or privileges contained in the original stock option agreement for the Stock Option on the same terms and conditions.
     (n) Notwithstanding Subsection (m) above, it shall not be a Modification to change the terms of a Stock Option in any of the ways or for any of the purposes specifically described in published guidance of the Internal Revenue Service as not resulting in a modification, extension or renewal of a stock right or the granting of a new stock right.
     (o) Subsequent to its grant, the exercise period of a Stock Option shall not be extended to a date that is later than the earlier of (i) the date on which the Option would expire by its original terms, or (ii) the 10th anniversary of the original date of grant.
     (p) Except for adjustments as permitted by Section 3, once granted hereunder, the option price of a Stock Option shall not be adjusted. The substitutions and adjustments permitted by Section 3 shall be limited to those substitutions and adjustments which will not result in the Stock Option, as substituted or adjusted, constituting a “deferral of compensation” within the meaning of Code Section 409A.
SECTION 6. STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS.
     (a) Grant and Exercise. Stock Appreciation Rights may be granted in conjunction with all or part of any Stock Option granted under the Plan. In the case of a Non-Qualified Stock Option, such rights may be granted either at or after the time of grant of such Stock Option. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option, such rights may be granted only at the time of grant of such Stock Option. A Stock Appreciation Right shall terminate and no longer be exercisable upon the termination or exercise of the related Stock Option.
     A Stock Appreciation Right may be exercised by an optionee in accordance with Section 6(b) by surrendering the applicable portion of the related Stock Option in accordance with procedures established by the Committee. Upon such exercise and surrender, the optionee shall be entitled to receive an amount determined in the manner prescribed in Section 6(b). Stock

9


 

Options which have been so surrendered shall no longer be exercisable to the extent the related Stock Appreciation Rights have been exercised.
     (b) Terms and Conditions. Stock Appreciation Rights shall be subject to such terms and conditions as shall be determined by the Committee, including the following:
          (i) Stock Appreciation Rights shall be exercisable only at such time or times and to the extent that the Stock Options to which they relate are exercisable in accordance with the provisions of Section 5 and this Section 6.
          (ii) Upon the exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right, an optionee shall be entitled to receive an amount in cash, shares of Stock or both equal in value to the excess of the Fair Market Value of one share of Stock over the option price per share specified in the related Stock Option multiplied by the number of shares in respect of which the Stock Appreciation Right shall have been exercised, with the Committee having the right to determine the form of payment.
In the case of Stock Appreciation Rights relating to Stock Options held by optionees who are actually or potentially subject to Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, the Committee:
               (1) may require that such Stock Appreciation Rights be exercised for cash only in accordance with the applicable “window period” provisions of Rule 16b-3; and
               (2) in the case of Stock Appreciation Rights relating to Non-Qualified Stock Options, may provide that any amount to be paid in cash upon exercise of such Stock Appreciation Rights during a Rule 16b-3 “window period” shall be based on the highest of the daily means between the highest and lowest reported sales prices of the Stock on the New York Stock Exchange or other national securities exchange on which the shares are listed or on NASDAQ, as applicable, occurring during such “window period”.
          (iii) Stock Appreciation Rights shall be transferable only to permitted transferees of the underlying Stock Option in accordance with Section 5(e)
     (c) Modification. Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan or any stock appreciation rights agreement to the contrary, no Modification shall be made in respect to any Stock Appreciation Right if such Modification would result in the Stock Appreciation Right constituting a deferral of compensation or having an additional deferral feature.
     (d) Subject to Subjection (e) below, a “Modification” for purposes of Subsection (c), above, shall mean any change in the terms of an Stock Appreciation Right (or change in the terms of the Plan or applicable stock appreciation rights agreement) that may provide the holder of the Stock Appreciation Right with a direct or indirect reduction in the base price of the Stock Appreciation Right, or an additional deferral feature, or an extension or renewal of the Stock Appreciation Right, regardless of whether the holder in fact benefits from the change in terms. An extension of a Stock Appreciation Right refers to the granting to the holder of an additional period of time within which to exercise the Stock Appreciation Right beyond the time originally prescribed. A renewal of a Stock Appreciation Right is the granting by the Company of the same

10


 

rights or privileges contained in the original stock appreciation rights agreement for the Stock Appreciation Right on the same terms and conditions.
     (e) Notwithstanding Subsection (d) above, it shall not be a Modification to change the terms of a Stock Appreciation Right in any of the ways or for any of the purposes specifically described in published guidance of the Internal Revenue Service as not resulting in a modification, extension or renewal of a stock right or the granting of a new stock right.
     (f) Subsequent to its grant, no Stock Appreciation Right shall be extended to a date that is later than the earlier of (i) the date on which the Stock Appreciation Right would expire by its original terms, or (ii) the 10th anniversary of the original date of grant.
     (g) Except for adjustments as permitted by Section 3, once granted hereunder, the base price of a Stock Appreciation Right shall not be adjusted. The substitutions and adjustments permitted by Section 3 shall be limited to those substitutions and adjustments which will not result in the Stock Appreciation Right, as substituted or adjusted, constituting a “deferral of compensation” within the meaning of Code Section 409A.
SECTION 7. RESTRICTED STOCK.
     (a) Administration. Shares of Restricted Stock may be awarded either alone or in addition to other Awards granted under the Plan. The Committee shall determine the officers and employees to whom and the time or times at which grants of Restricted Stock will be awarded, the number of shares to be awarded to any participant, the time or tunes within which such Awards may be subject to forfeiture and any other terms and conditions of the Awards, in addition to those contained in Section 7(c).
     The Committee may condition the grant of Restricted Stock upon the attainment of specified performance goals of the participant or of the Company or subsidiary, division or department of the Company for or within which the participant is primarily employed or upon such other factors or criteria as the Committee shall determine. The provisions of Restricted Stock Awards need not be the same with respect to each recipient.
     (b) Awards and Certificates. Shares of Restricted Stock shall be evidenced in such manner as the Committee may deem appropriate, including book-entry registration or issuance of one or more stock certificates. Any certificate issued in respect of shares of Restricted Stock shall be registered in the name of such participant and shall bear an appropriate legend referring to the terms, conditions, and restrictions applicable to such Award, substantially in the following form:
“The transferability of this certificate and the shares of stock represented hereby are subject to the terms and conditions (including forfeiture) of the 1993 Stock Incentive Plan and a Restricted Stock Agreement. Copies of such Plan and Agreement are on file at the offices of Borg-Warner Automotive, Inc., 200 South Michigan Avenue, Chicago, Illinois 60604.”
The Committee may require that the certificates evidencing such shares be held in custody by the Company until the restrictions thereon shall have lapsed and that, as a condition of any Award of

11


 

Restricted Stock, the participant shall have delivered a stock power, endorsed in blank, relating to the Stock covered by such Award.
     (c) Terms and Conditions. Shares of Restricted Stock shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:
          (i) Subject to the provisions of the Plan and the Restricted Stock Agreement referred to in Section 7(c)(vi), during a period set by the Committee, commencing with the date of such Award (the “Restriction Period”), the participant shall not be permitted to sell, assign, transfer, pledge or otherwise encumber shares of Restricted Stock. The Committee may provide for the lapse of such restrictions in installments or otherwise and may accelerate or waive such restrictions, in whole or in part, in each case based on period of service, performance of the participant or of the Company or the subsidiary, division or department for which the participant is employed or such other factors or criteria as the Committee may determine.
          (ii) Except as provided in this paragraph (ii) and Section 7(c)(i) and the Restricted Stock Agreement, the participant shall have, with respect to the shares of Restricted Stock, all of the rights of a stockholder of the Company holding the class or series of Stock that is the subject of the Restricted Stock, including, if applicable, the right to vote the shares and the right to receive any cash dividends. If so determined by the Committee in the applicable Restricted Stock Agreement and subject to Section 11(f) of the Plan, (1) cash dividends on the shares of Stock that are the subject of the Restricted Stock Award shall be automatically deferred and reinvested in additional Restricted Stock, and (2) dividends payable in Stock shall be paid in the form of Restricted Stock. Absent such a provision regarding dividends in the applicable Restricted Stock Agreement, any dividend payable with respect to Restricted Stock shall be paid to the Participant no later than the end of the calendar year in which the same dividends on Stock are paid to shareholders of Stock, or if later, the 15th day of the third month following the date on which the same dividends on Stock are paid to the Stock’s shareholders.
          (iii) Except to the extent otherwise provided in the applicable Restricted Stock Agreement and Sections 7(c)(i), 7(c)(iv) and 8(a)(ii), upon a participant’s Termination of Employment for any reason during the Restriction Period, all shares still subject to restriction shall be forfeited by the participant.
          (iv) Except to the extent otherwise provided in Section 8(a)(ii), in the event of an involuntary Termination of Employment of a participant for any reason (other than for Cause), the Committee shall have the discretion to waive in whole or in part any or all remaining restrictions with respect to any or all of such participant’s shares of Restricted Stock.
          (v) If and when the Restriction Period expires without a prior forfeiture of the Restricted Stock subject to such Restriction Period, unlegended certificates for such shares shall be delivered to the participant.
          (vi) Each Award shall be confirmed by, and be subject to the terms of, a Restricted Stock Agreement.

SECTION 9. TERM, AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION.
     The Plan will terminate on December 31, 2003. Under the Plan, Awards outstanding as of December 31, 2003 shall not be affected or impaired by the termination of the Plan.
     The Board may amend, alter, or discontinue the Plan, but no amendment, alteration or discontinuation shall be made which would (i) impair the rights of an optionee under a Stock Option or a recipient of a Stock Appreciation Right or Restricted Stock Award theretofore granted without the optionee’s or recipient’s consent, except such an amendment made to cause

14


 

the Plan to qualify for the exemption provided by Rule 16h-3, or (ii) disqualify the Plan from the exemption provided by Rule 16b-3. In addition, no such amendment shall be made without the approval of the Company’s stockholders to the extent such approval is required by law or agreement.
     The Committee may amend the terms of any Stock Option or other Award theretofore granted, prospectively or retroactively, but no such amendment shall impair the rights of any holder without the holder’s consent except such an amendment made to cause the Plan or Award to qualify for the exemption provided by Rule 16b-3. The Committee may also substitute new Stock Options for previously granted Stock Options, including previously granted Stock Options having higher option prices.
     Subject to the above provisions, the Board shall have authority to amend the Plan to take into account changes in law and tax and accounting rules, as well as other developments and to grant Awards which qualify for beneficial treatment under such rules without stockholder approval.
SECTION 10. UNFUNDED STATUS OF PLAN.
     It is presently intended that the Plan constitute an “unfunded” plan for incentive and deferred compensation. The Committee may authorize the creation of trusts or other arrangements to meet the obligations created under the Plan to deliver Stock or make payments; provided, however, that, unless the Committee otherwise determines, the existence of such trusts or other arrangements is consistent with the “unfunded” status of the Plan.
SECTION 11. GENERAL PROVISIONS.
     (a) The Committee may require each person purchasing or receiving shares pursuant to an Award to represent to and agree with the Company in writing that such person is acquiring the shares without a view to the distribution thereof. The certificates for such shares may include any legend which the Committee deems appropriate to reflect any restrictions on transfer.
     All certificates for shares of Stock or other securities delivered under the Plan shall be subject to such stock transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee may deem advisable under the rules, regulations and other requirements of the Commission, any stock exchange upon which the Stock is then listed and any applicable Federal or state securities law, and the Committee may cause a legend or legends to be put on any such certificates to make appropriate reference to such restrictions.
     (b) Nothing contained in the Plan shall prevent the Company or any subsidiary or Affiliate from adopting other or additional compensation arrangements for its employees.
     (c) The adoption of the Plan shall not confer upon any employee any right to continued employment nor shall it interfere in any way with the right of the Company or any subsidiary or Affiliate to terminate the employment of any employee at any time.
     (d) No later than the date as of which an amount first becomes includible in the gross income of the participant for Federal income tax purposes with respect to any Award under the

15


 

Plan, the participant shall pay to the Company, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Company regarding the payment of, any Federal, state, local or foreign taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with respect to such amount. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, withholding obligations may be settled with Stock, including Stock that is part of the Award that gives rise to the withholding requirement. The obligations of the Company under the Plan shall be conditional on such payment or arrangements, and the Company, its Subsidiaries and its Affiliates shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct any such taxes from any payment otherwise due to the participant. The Committee may establish such procedures as it deems appropriate, including the making of irrevocable elections, for the settlement of withholding obligations with Stock.
     (e) At the time of grant, the Committee may provide in connection with any grant made under the Plan that the shares of Stock received as a result of such grant shall be subject to a right of first refusal pursuant to which the participant shall be required to offer to the Company any shares that the participant wishes to sell at the then Fair Market Value of the Stock, subject to such other terms and conditions as the Committee may specify at the time of grant.
     (f) The reinvestment of dividends in additional Restricted Stock at the time of any dividend payment shall only be permissible if sufficient shares of Stock are available under Section 3 for such reinvestment (taking into account then outstanding Stock Options and other Awards).
     (g) The Committee shall establish such procedures as it deems appropriate for a participant to designate a beneficiary to whom any amounts payable in the event of the participant’s death are to be paid.
     (h) The Plan and all Awards made and actions taken thereunder shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware.
     (i) It is intended that Stock Options awarded pursuant to Section 5, Stock Appreciation Rights awarded pursuant to Section 6, and Restricted Stock awarded pursuant to Section 7 not constitute a “deferral of compensation within the meaning of Code Section 409A. This Plan shall be interpreted for all purposes and operated to the extent necessary in order to comply with the intent expressed in this paragraph.
SECTION 12. EFFECTIVE DATE OF PLAN.
     The Plan shall be effective on the date it is approved by the shareholders of the Company.
SECTION 13. DIRECTOR STOCK OPTIONS.
     (a) Each director of the Company who is not otherwise an employee of the Company or any Affiliate from and after August 1, 1993 shall, on the third Tuesday of each year during such director’s term, automatically be granted Non-Qualified Stock Options to purchase 2,000 shares of Stock having an exercise price per share equal to 100% of the Fair Market Value of the Stock at the date of grant of such Non-Qualified Stock Option. Each such director, upon joining the Board, shall also be awarded an initial grant of Non-Qualified Stock Options to purchase

16


 

2,000 shares of Stock having an exercise price equal to 100% of the Fair Market Value of the Stock as of such date.
     (b) An automatic director Stock Option shall be granted hereunder only if as of each date of grant (or, in the case of any initial grant, from and after the effective date of the Plan) the director (i) is not otherwise an employee of the Company, any Affiliate or Merrill Lynch Capital Partners, Inc., (ii) has not been an employee of the Company or any subsidiary for any part of the preceding fiscal year, and (iii) has served on the Board continuously since the commencement of his term.
     (c) Each holder of a Stock Option granted pursuant to this Section 13 shall also have the rights specified in Section 5(k).
     (d) In the event that the number of shares of Stock available for future grant under the Plan is insufficient to make all automatic grants required to be made on such date, then all non-employee directors entitled to a grant on such date shall share ratably in the number of options on shares available for grant under the Plan.
     (e) The provisions of paragraph (a) of this Section 13 may not be amended more often than once every six months. Except as expressly provided in this Section 13, any Stock Option granted hereunder shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan as if the grant were made pursuant to Section 5 hereof.
