The Executive’s
Base Salary for the 2008 fiscal year shall be at a rate of $550,000
per year, paid in accordance with the Company’s regular
payroll practices in effect from time to time, but not less
frequently than monthly. The Executive’s Base Salary shall be
reviewed annually and may be adjusted by the Board. As used in this
Restated Agreement, “Base Salary” shall mean the
Executive’s annual rate of Base Salary as adjusted from time
to time.
|

|
3.2.1

|
While employed hereunder, the
Executive shall be eligible for an annual incentive bonus
(“Annual Bonus”) of up to 90% of his Base
Salary, based upon the achievement of performance objectives
established by the Compensation Committee of the Board (the
“Compensation Committee”) for an annual
performance period coterminous with the Company’s fiscal
year.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
3.2.2
|
|
At
the time the Compensation Committee establishes the Annual Bonus
potential for the performance period, the Compensation Committee
may determine that up to 50% of the Annual Bonus earned by the
Executive for that performance period
|
2
|
|
|
|
shall be deferred and shall vest and
be paid out in successive equal annual installments upon the
Executive’s completion of each year of continued employment
with the Company over a period of years (not to exceed three years)
measured from the last day of the performance period to which that
Annual Bonus relates (the “Deferral Period”) .
The deferred portion of each Annual Bonus shall accrue interest at
prime, as such rate is set forth in The Wall Street Journal
from time to time, during the Deferral Period, and the unpaid
deferred portion of each Annual Bonus, together with such accrued
interest, shall immediately vest in the event (i) the
Executive terminates employment with Good Reason (as defined in
Section 7.2.1) or (ii) the Executive is terminated by the
Company other than for Cause (as defined in Section 6.1.1) or
(iii) the Executive’s employment terminates by reason of
death or Disability (as defined in Section 5.1) or
(iv) the Executive’s employment terminates for any
reason following a Change in Control or Corporate Transaction. The
deferred portion of each Annual Bonus shall be forfeited to the
extent the Executive’s employment terminates for any other
reason (or under any other circumstances) prior to vesting in that
portion. The deferred portion of each Annual Bonus which vests on
an accelerated basis shall be paid to the Executive following his
Separation from Service, in accordance with the payment provisions
of this Restated Agreement governing the particular circumstances
under which Executive incurs such Separation from Service;
provided, however, that any such accelerated vesting
and payment of the deferred portion of each Annual Bonus shall be
subject to the Executive’s execution and delivery of an
effective release and non-disparagement agreement as required under
the terms of this Restated Agreement.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
3.2.3
|
|
The
Compensation Committee may establish different performance
objectives or different target levels for each Annual Bonus
opportunity provided the Executive hereunder. In addition, the
maximum level of such Annual Bonus as a percentage of Base Salary
shall be reviewed annually by the Compensation Committee and may be
adjusted by the Compensation Committee, including (without
limitation) an adjustment to increase the maximum level of Annual
Bonus as a percentage of Base Salary.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
3.2.4
|
|
The
portion of any bonus earned by the Executive for a particular
fiscal year performance period and not deferred pursuant to
Section 3.2.2 shall be paid by the 15th day of the third
calendar month following the close of that fiscal year or as soon
thereafter as administratively practicable, but in no event shall
such payment be made prior to the first day of the fiscal year next
succeeding the fiscal year for which that bonus is earned or later
than the last day of that succeeding fiscal year.

|
|
|
|
applicable), vesting period, any
post-employment provisions (including post-employment exercise

Acceleration and

if the Executive’s employment is terminated (i) by the
Company for any reason other than for Cause (as defined in
Section 6.1.1) or (ii) by the Executive with Good Reason
(as defined in Section 7.2.1) or (iii) on account of
death or Disability, then each stock option and other equity award
granted on or after July 21, 2003 shall thereupon vest as to
an additional 25% of the shares of stock subject thereto (or such
lesser percentage as to make the award 100% vested). Further, in
the event of a Change of Control (as defined in Section 8.1.1)
or a Corporate Transaction (as defined in Section 8.1.2), all
of the options or other equity awards described in the preceding
sentence shall immediately vest in full. To the extent that the
equity awards described in this Section 3.3.2 are stock
options that have vested in accordance with their normal vesting
terms or that otherwise vest on an accelerated basis in accordance
with this Section 3.3.2, the period for which such stock
options shall remain exercisable for the vested option shares shall
be extended until a date at least one year and ninety

employment under the circumstance described in clauses (i),
(ii) or (iii) of this Section 3.3.2 or the
termination of the Executive’s employment under any
circumstances following a Change of Control or a Corporate
Transaction (or until such later date as may be specified in the
award agreement), but in no event will such options be exercisable
after the expiration of their original ten-year (or shorter)
maximum terms. Each of the Executive’s stock options granted
prior to July 21, 2003 shall be amended to add the foregoing
extended exercise provisions at such time, if any, that the
Compensation Committee determines, in its sole discretion, that
such amendment and the related accounting charges would not in any
way adversely affect, when relevant, the Company’s condition
(financial or otherwise), financial statements, earnings, earnings
per share or other relevant Company information.

shall each be entitled to the retiree health care coverage
described herein for the remainder of his or her life following the
termination of the Executive’s employment for any reason. The

coverage shall be comparable to the health care coverage provided
by the Company to the
|
5
|
|
|
|
Executive and his Spouse immediately
prior to the termination of the Executive’s employment. Once
the Executive or his Spouse becomes covered by Medicare, the
Company shall provide retiree health care coverage that, together
with such Medicare coverage, is comparable to the coverage that the
Company provided to him or her immediately prior to the
Executive’s termination of employment.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
4.4.2
|
|
The
Executive and his Spouse shall, following his termination of
employment with the Company, elect to continue health care coverage
in accordance with the provisions of Section 4980B of the Code and
Section 10116.5 of the California Insurance Code
(“COBRA”) . For the period of such COBRA
coverage, the retiree health care coverage for the Executive and
his Spouse shall be provided under the Company’s group health
plan. Following the expiration of the applicable period of COBRA
coverage, such retiree health care coverage shall continue to be
provided under one or more of the Company’s group health care
plans; provided, however, that to the extent such
group health care coverage is not available, the retiree health
coverage for the Executive and his Spouse shall be provided through
health insurance policy or policies acquired by the Executive
and/or his Spouse that provides the required level of health care
coverage hereunder, until each of them attains age sixty-five
(65) and thereafter through insurance policy or policies
providing Medicare supplemental coverage. The Company shall
reimburse the Executive for the cost of such retiree health care
coverage for the Executive and his Spouse during each applicable
period of coverage hereunder as follows:
|
(i) For each
period the Executive and/or his Spouse are provided post-retirement
health care coverage under the Company’s group health care
plan, the Company shall reimburse the Executive for the monthly
cost he incurs to obtain such continued coverage for himself and
his Spouse (the “Coverage Costs ”). In order to
obtain reimbursement for his Coverage Costs, the Executive must
submit appropriate evidence to the Company of each periodic payment
within sixty (60) days after the payment date, and the Company
shall within thirty (30) days after such submission reimburse
the Executive for that payment.
(ii) To the extent
such post retirement health care coverage is provided through
health insurance policies acquired by the Executive and/or his
Spouse, the Company shall reimburse the Executive and/or his Spouse
for each premium paid by them for such coverage. The applicable
insurance premiums shall be paid by the Executive and/or the Spouse
on or before each due date, and supporting documentation evidencing
such payment shall be provided to the Company within sixty
(60) days following such payment. The Company shall reimburse
the Executive and/or his Spouse for each such insurance premium
payment within thirty (30) business days following receipt of
the supporting documentation for such payment.

|
|
4.4.3
|
|
During the period such health care
coverage remains in effect hereunder, the following provisions
shall govern the arrangement: (a) the amount of health care
Coverage Costs and premium payments eligible for reimbursement in
any one calendar year of such coverage shall not affect the amount
of Coverage Costs and premium payments eligible for reimbursement
in any other calendar year for which health care coverage is to be
provided hereunder (ii) no health care Coverage Costs or
premium payments shall be reimbursed after the close of the
calendar year following the calendar year in which those Coverage
Costs or premium payments were incurred; and (iii) the right
to reimbursement of such continued health care Coverage Costs and
premium payments cannot be liquidated or exchanged for any other
benefit.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
4.4.4
|
|
If,
for any reason, the retiree health coverage provided to the
Executive or his Spouse for any taxable year shall constitute
taxable income to the Executive and/or his Spouse, the Company
shall report the reimbursed Coverage Costs or premium payments as
taxable W-2 wages and collect the applicable withholding taxes.
However, the Company shall also pay to the Executive and/or his
Spouse an amount (a “Gross-Up Amount”) that is,
after payment of all applicable taxes on the Gross-Up Amount, equal
to the tax liability attributable to such retiree health coverage.
Any such tax gross up payment shall be calculated within fifteen
(15) business days following the close of the taxable year to
which it relates. Subject to the holdback provisions of
Section 10.1, the tax gross up payment so calculated shall be
made to or on behalf of the Executive within thirty (30) days
following the completion of such calculation or (if later) at the
time the income taxes to which the tax gross up payment relates are
remitted to the appropriate tax authorities. In no event shall any
such tax gross up payment be made later than the end of the
calendar year immediately following the calendar year in which the
related taxes are remitted to the appropriate tax authorities or
such other specified time or schedule that may be required under
Section 409A of the Code.

with or without reasonable accommodation, and the continuation of
such disabled condition for a period of one hundred eighty
(180) continuous days as determined by an approved medical
doctor. For purposes hereof, an approved medical doctor shall mean
a doctor selected by the Company and the Executive. If the Company
and the Executive cannot agree on a medical doctor, each shall
select a medical doctor, and the two doctors shall select a third
who shall be the approved medical doctor for this
purpose.

|
|
|
|
