(A) If any one person or more than one person acting as a group (within the meaning of paragraph (i)(D)) is considered to own more than 50% of the total fair market value or total voting power of the stock of the Company, the acquisition of additional Company stock by such person or persons shall not be considered to cause a change in the ownership of the Company or to cause a change in the effective control of the Company (within the meaning of paragraph (ii) below).

(B) An increase in the percentage of Company stock owned by any one person, or persons acting as a group (within the meaning of paragraph (i)(D)), as a result of a transaction in which the Company acquires its stock in exchange for property, shall be treated as an acquisition of stock for purposes of this paragraph (i).

If a person, including an entity, owns stock in the Company and another entity with which the Company enters into a merger, consolidation, purchase, or acquisition of stock, or similar business transaction, such shareholder shall be considered to be acting as a group with other Company shareholders prior to the transaction giving rise to the change and not with respect to the ownership interest in the other corporation.

(2) A majority of members of the Board is replaced during any twelve (12) month period by directors whose appointment or election is not endorsed by a majority of the Board prior to the date of the appointment or election.

(B) A change in effective control of the Company also may occur with respect to any transaction in which either of the Company or the other corporation involved in a transaction experiences a Change of Control event described in paragraphs (i) or (iii).

(C) If any one person, or more than one person acting as a group (within the meaning of paragraph (ii)(D)), is considered to effectively control the Company (within the meaning of this paragraph (ii)), the acquisition of additional control of the Company by the same person or persons shall not be considered to cause a change in the effective control of the Company (or to cause a change in the ownership of the Company within the meaning of paragraph (i)).

(D) For purposes of this paragraph (ii), persons shall be considered to be acting as a group if they are owners of a corporation that enters into a merger, consolidation, purchase, or acquisition of stock, or similar business transaction with the Company. If a person, including an entity, owns stock in the Company and another entity with which the Company enters into a merger, consolidation, purchase, or acquisition of stock, or similar business transaction, such shareholder shall be considered to be acting as a group with other Company shareholders only with respect to the ownership in the Company prior to the transaction giving rise to the change and not with respect to the ownership interest in the other corporation. Persons

shall not be considered to be acting as a group solely because they purchase or own stock of the same corporation at the same time, or as a result of the same public offering.

(iii) Change in Ownership of a Substantial Portion of the Company’s Assets. A change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the Company’s assets shall occur on the date that any one person, or more than one person acting as a group (within the meaning of paragraph (iii)(C)), acquires (or has acquired during the twelve (12) month period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition by such person or persons) assets from the Company that have a total gross fair market value (within the meaning of paragraph (iii)(B)) equal to or more than 40% of the total gross fair market value of all of the assets of the Company immediately prior to such acquisition or acquisitions.

(A) A transfer of the Company’s assets shall not be treated as a change in the ownership of such assets if the assets are transferred to one or more of the following:

(1) A shareholder of the Company (immediately before the asset transfer) in exchange for or with respect to the Company stock;

(2) An entity, 50% or more of the total value or voting power of which is owned, directly or indirectly, by the Company;

(3) A person, or more than one person acting as a group (within the meaning of paragraph (iii)(C)) that owns, directly or indirectly, 50% or more of the total value or voting power of all of the outstanding stock of the Company; or

(4) An entity, at least 50% of the total value or voting power of which is owned, directly or indirectly, by a person described in paragraph (iii)(A)(3).

For purposes of this paragraph (iii)(A), and except as otherwise provided, a person’s status is determined immediately after the transfer of assets.

(B) For purposes of this paragraph (iii), gross fair market value means the value of all Company assets, or the value of the assets being disposed of, determined without regard to any liabilities associated with such assets.

(C) For purposes of this paragraph (iii), persons shall be considered to be acting as a group if they are owners of a corporation that enters into a merger, consolidation, purchase, or acquisition of assets, or similar business transaction with the Company. If a person, including an entity shareholder, owns stock in the Company and another entity with which the Company enters into a merger, consolidation, purchase, or acquisition of stock, or similar business transaction, such shareholder shall be considered to be acting as a group with other Company shareholders only to the extent of the ownership in the Company prior to the transaction giving rise to the change and not with respect to the ownership interest in the other corporation. Persons shall not be considered to be acting as a group solely because they purchase or own stock of the same corporation at the same time, or as a result of the same public offering.

ARTICLE V

Payment

5.1 Determination of Performance. After the end of each Performance Period, the performance of the Company and its Subsidiaries will be determined by the Company and approved by the Committee for each Performance Goal. The Committee shall certify in writing to each Participant the degree of achievement of each Performance Goal based upon the actual performance results for the Performance Period.

5.2 Determination of Payment Amount. After the end of each Performance Period, the Payment Amount for each Participant for such Performance Period shall be calculated by the Company and certified by the Committee based upon the level of performance achieved by the Company and its Subsidiaries for each Performance Goal applicable to such Participant for the Performance Period, as determined in accordance with Section 5.1.

5.3 Payment of Payment Amount. The Payment Amount payable to Participants under this Plan shall be paid solely in cash and shall be paid on or before the Payment Date; provided, however, that subject to the requirements of the applicable deferred compensation plan and such other rules and requirements as the Committee may from time to time prescribe, the Committee may allow a Participant to defer receipt of all or a portion of the Payment Amount if permitted under the terms of the deferred compensation plan sponsored by the Company in which the Participant is eligible to participate.

5.4 Overall Limitation Applicable to Covered Employees. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Plan to the contrary, in no event shall any Covered Employee be entitled to a payment in respect of any Performance Period in excess of one percent (1%) of the Company’s earnings before income taxes as publicly disclosed in the “Consolidated Results of Operations” section of the Company’s annual report to the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 10-K for the Fiscal Year ended immediately before the Payment Date applicable to such Performance Period.

ARTICLE VI

Termination of Employment

If a Participant’s employment is terminated before the end of the Performance Period, the treatment of the Performance Units awarded with respect to such Performance Period will be as follows:

6.1 In General. If, before the end of the Performance Period, the Participant’s employment terminates for any reason other than for the reasons described in Sections 6.2 through 6.4, the Participant’s Performance Units shall be canceled, and the Participant shall receive no payment under this Plan in respect of such Performance Units. If a Participant’s employment terminates after the end of the Performance Period but before the Payment Date, the Participant (or the Participant’s designated beneficiary in the case of death) shall be paid the

Payment Amount with respect to such Performance Period as determined under Article V hereof on the Payment Date.

6.2 Retirement. Subject to compliance with the conditions outlined below, if, during the Performance Period, a Participant’s employment terminates by reason of Retirement, the Payment Amount for such Performance Period shall be paid on the Payment Date for such Performance Period; provided, however, that if such Participant is a Specified Employee, the Payment Amount shall not be paid to the Participant until the later of six months following the date of Retirement or the Payment Date with respect to the applicable Performance Period, but only to the extent that making such Payment Amount would result in a violation of Section 409A. The Participant’s Payment Amount with respect to such Performance Period shall be determined by taking into account the actual performance of the Company and/or its Subsidiaries for the entire Performance Period; provided, however, that the Company reserves the right to cancel such Performance Units if the Participant, prior to the end of the applicable Performance Period, (i) performs any services, whether as an employee, officer, director, agent, independent contractor, partner or otherwise, for a competitor of the Company or any of its affiliates without the consent of the Company, or (ii) takes any other action, including, but not limited to, interfering with the relationship between the Company or any of its affiliates and any of its employees, clients or agents, which is intended to damage or does damage to the business or reputation of the Company.

6.3 Death. If a Participant dies during the Performance Period, the number of Performance Units awarded to the Participant will be reduced by multiplying the number of Performance Units initially awarded to the Participant by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of full months in the Performance Period during which the Participant was an active employee of the Company or a Subsidiary and the denominator of which is the number of months in the Performance Period. A partial month worked shall be counted as a full month if the Participant is an active employee for 15 days or more in that month. The Payment Amount to be paid to the Participant’s beneficiaries based on the resulting reduced number of Performance Units shall be determined as follows:

(a) If the Participant’s death occurs after the end of one or more Fiscal Years during the Performance Period but within six months or less of the beginning of a Fiscal Year, the Payment Amount shall be determined using the actual performance of the Company and/or its Subsidiaries for each completed Fiscal Year prior to the Participant’s death (the “Completed Fiscal Years”);

(b) If the Participant’s death occurs more than six months after the start of a Fiscal Year included in the Performance Period but prior to the end of a Fiscal Year during such Performance Period, the Payment Amount shall be determined (i) using the actual performance of the Company for each Completed Fiscal Year, if any, and (ii) using the actual performance of the Company and/or its Subsidiaries for the Fiscal Year in which the Participant dies; or

(c) If the Participant’s death occurs six months or less after the start of the Performance Period, the Payment Amount for the Performance Units granted with respect to such Performance Period shall be zero. The Payment Amount determined pursuant to this

Section 6.3 shall be paid to the Participant’s designated beneficiary as soon as practicable following the determination of the Payment Amount.

6.4 Disability. If, before the end of the Performance Period, a Participant’s employment is terminated as a result of Disability, the Payment Amount for such Performance Period shall be paid on the Payment Date for such Performance Period, and the Participant’s Payment Amount with respect to such Performance Period shall be determined by taking into account the actual performance of the Company and/or its Subsidiaries for the entire Performance Period.

ARTICLE VII

Change of Control

If a Change of Control has occurred during a Performance Period, the Participant’s Performance Units awarded with respect to such Performance Period shall be considered vested, and the Payment Amount shall be paid to the Participant within 90 days after the date of the Change of Control. For purposes of this Article VII, the Payment Amount to be made to each Participant shall be the maximum amount that could be paid to such Participant with respect to the Participant’s Performance Units for such Performance Period assuming the highest level of performance is achieved.

ARTICLE VIII

Administration

8.1 In General. The Plan shall be administered under the supervision and direction of the Committee or its designees, as applicable. In administering the Plan, the Committee will determine the Participants and the number of Performance Units to be granted to individual Participants, establish appropriate Fiscal Years, Performance Periods and Performance Goals as bases for payments under the Plan, establish the methods and procedures for measuring performance, and determine the Payment Date and methods and procedures for payment of Awards under the Plan. Further, the Committee may, from time to time, change or waive requirements of the Plan, or outstanding Performance Units, to conform with the law, to meet special circumstances not anticipated or covered in the Plan, or to carry on successful operation of the Plan, and in connection therewith, the Committee or its designee shall have the full power and authority to:

(a) Prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to the Plan, or outstanding Performance Units, establish procedures deemed appropriate for the Plan’s administration, and make any and all other determinations not herein specifically authorized which may be necessary or advisable for its effective administration;

(b) Make any amendments to or modifications of the Plan which may be required or necessary to make the Plan set forth herein comply with the provisions of any laws, federal or state, or any regulations issued thereunder, and to cause the Company at its expense to

take any action related to the Plan which may be required under such laws or regulations; and

(c) Contest on behalf of Participants or the Company, at the expense of the Company, any ruling or decision on any issue related to the Plan, and conduct any such contest and any resulting litigation to a final determination, ruling or decision.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Committee may, unless otherwise prohibited from doing so by the Board of Directors or such committee’s charter, delegate any Plan related function it may deem necessary or appropriate to employees of the Company or its Subsidiaries or to third parties.

Nothing herein shall be deemed to authorize, and the Committee will have no discretion, to alter or amend the Performance Goals or the specific Performance Goals of Awards under the Plan with respect to “named executives” (as that term is defined in Section 402(a)(3) of Regulation S-K) and Covered Employees after they have been approved by the Committee or communicated to Participants, whichever shall occur later in time.

8.2 Limitation of Liability. No member of the Committee shall be liable for any act, omission, or determination taken or made in good faith with respect to the Plan or any Awards made hereunder, and the members of the Committee shall be entitled to indemnification, defense and reimbursement by the Company in respect of any claim, loss, damage, or expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) arising therefrom to the full extent permitted by law and as provided for in the bylaws of the Company or under any directors’ and officers’ liability or similar insurance coverage or any indemnification agreement that may be in effect from time to time. The Company reserves the right to select counsel to defend any litigation covered by this Section 8.2.

8.3 Compliance with Section 409A. The Plan (i) is intended to comply with, (ii) shall be interpreted and its provisions shall be applied in a manner that is consistent with, and (iii) shall have any ambiguities therein interpreted, to the extent possible, in a manner that complies with Section 409A.

ARTICLE IX

Term; Withdrawal or Amendment

9.1 Effective Date and Term. The Plan has been adopted by the Board of Directors effective as of September 3, 2004 (the “Effective Date”). The term of the Plan shall continue until the fifth anniversary of the Effective Date, unless sooner terminated by the Board; provided, however, that such termination must comply with the requirements of Section 409A. No new Awards may be made after the termination of the Plan, but termination of the Plan shall not affect outstanding Awards.

9.2 Withdrawal or Amendment. The Company’s Board of Directors or the Committee may at any time withdraw or amend the Plan, except that there shall be no withdrawal or amendment which shall adversely affect Awards theretofore granted.

ARTICLE X

Miscellaneous

10.1 Beneficiaries. Each Participant may designate a beneficiary or beneficiaries to receive, in the event of such Participant’s death, any payments remaining to be made to the Participant under the Plan. Each Participant shall have the right to revoke any such designation and to redesignate a beneficiary or beneficiaries by written notice to the Company to such effect. If any Participant dies without naming a beneficiary or if all of the beneficiaries named by a Participant predecease the Participant, then any amounts remaining to be paid under the Plan shall be paid to the Participant’s estate.

10.2 Awards Non-Transferable. Any rights of a Participant under this Plan, and in or to an Award, shall be personal in nature and may not be assigned or transferred (other than a transfer by will or the laws of descent and distribution). Any attempted assignment or transfer of the Award shall be null and void and without effect.

10.3 Withholding for Taxes. The Company or its Subsidiaries shall have the right to deduct from all payments under the Plan any federal, state, or local taxes required by law to be withheld with respect to such payments.

10.4 Plan Funding. The Plan shall at all times be unfunded and no provision shall at any time be made with respect to segregating any assets of the Company or its Subsidiaries for payment of any benefits under the Plan. The right of a Participant to receive payment under the Plan shall be an unsecured claim against the general assets of the Company or its Subsidiaries, and neither the Participant nor any other person shall have any rights in or against any specific assets of the Company or its Subsidiaries. The Company and its Subsidiaries may establish a reserve of assets to provide funds for payments under the Plan.

10.5 No Contract of Employment. The existence of this Plan, as in effect at any time or from time to time, or any grant of Performance Units under the Plan shall not be deemed to constitute a contract of employment between the Company, or its Subsidiaries, and any employee or Participant, nor shall it constitute a right to remain in the employ of the Company or its Subsidiaries.

10.6 No Right to Participate. Except as provided in Articles III and IV, no Participant or other employee shall at any time have a right to be selected for participation in the Plan, despite having previously participated in an incentive or bonus plan of the Company or its Subsidiaries.

10.7 Facilitation of Payments. Notwithstanding anything else in this Plan to the contrary, in the event that a payment is due to an employee, or former employee (or a beneficiary thereof), under this Plan and the recipient is a minor, mentally incompetent, or otherwise incapacitated, such payment shall be made to the recipient’s legal representative, or guardian. If there is no such legal representative, or guardian, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may

direct that payment be made to any person the Committee, in its sole discretion, believes, by reason of a family relationship, or otherwise, will apply. Upon such payment, for the benefit of the recipient, the Company and each of its Subsidiaries shall be fully discharged of all obligations therefor.

10.8 Addresses; Missing Recipients. A recipient of any payment under this Plan who is not a current employee of the Company, or its Subsidiaries, shall have the obligation to inform the Company of his or her current address, or other location to which payments are to be sent. Neither the Company nor its Subsidiaries shall have any liability to such recipient, or any other person, for any failure of such recipient, or person, to receive any payment if it sends such payment to the address provided by such recipient by first class mail, postage paid, or other comparable delivery method. Notwithstanding anything else in this Plan to the contrary, if a recipient of any payment cannot be located within 120 days following the date on which such payment is due after reasonable efforts by the Company or its Subsidiaries, such payments and all future payments owing to such recipient shall be forfeited without notice to such recipient. If, within two years (or such longer period as the Committee, in its sole discretion, may determine), after the date as of which payment was forfeited (or, if later, is first due), the recipient, by written notice to the Company, requests that such payment and all future payments owing to such recipient be reinstated and provides satisfactory proof of their identity, such payments shall be promptly reinstated. To the extent the due date of any reinstated payment occurred prior to such reinstatement, such payment shall be made to the recipient (without any interest from its original due date) within 90 days after such reinstatement.

10.9 Governing Law. The laws of the State of Delaware (excluding its principles relating to conflicts of laws) shall govern the Plan.

10.10 Successors. All obligations of the Company and its Subsidiaries under the Plan shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of any successor to the Company or such Subsidiary, whether the existence of such successor is the result of a direct or indirect purchase, merger, consolidation, or otherwise.

10.11 Third Parties. Nothing expressed or implied in this Plan is intended or may be construed to give any person other than eligible Participants any rights or remedies under this Plan.

10.12 Headings. Section and other headings contained in this Plan are for reference purposes only, and are not intended to describe, interpret, define, or limit the scope, extent or intent of the provisions of the Plan.
