extent that any such restrictions are no longer required by
applicable law, the Committee shall have the sole discretion and
authority to prescribe terms for Awards that are not subject to
such mandated restrictions and/or to waive any such mandated
restrictions with respect to outstanding Awards.
ARTICLE 4
ELIGIBILITY
Any Employee whose judgment, initiative and
efforts are expected to contribute to the successful performance of
the Company is eligible to participate in the Plan. Awards may be

similar provisions. The Committee’s determinations under the
Plan (including without limitation recommendations regarding which
Employees, if any, are to receive Awards, the form, amount and

PLAN
Shares to be issued may be made available from

treasury may be used.
Subject to adjustment as provided in Articles 9
and 10, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be
issued pursuant to Awards granted under the Plan is 2,000,000
shares. Shares of Common Stock previously subject to Awards which
are forfeited or terminated, are withheld for payment of any
applicable employment taxes and/or withholding obligations or are
settled in cash may be reissued pursuant to future
Awards.
ARTICLE 6
GRANT OF RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD AND
RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS
6.1 (a) In General . The grant of
an Award shall be authorized by the Committee and shall be
evidenced by an Award Agreement setting forth the number of shares
of Common Stock subject to the Award, the Restriction Period (in
the case of a Restricted Stock Award), the vesting conditions and
vesting schedule, the Date of Grant, and such other terms,
provisions, and limitations as are approved by the Committee, but
not inconsistent with the Plan. The Company shall issue an Award
Agreement to the Participant after the Committee approves the
issuance of an Award.
Each Award Agreement shall be
in such form and shall contain such terms and conditions as the
Committee shall deem appropriate. The terms and conditions of such
Award Agreements may change from time to time and the terms and
conditions of separate Award Agreements need not be identical, but
each such Award Agreement shall be subject to the applicable terms
and conditions of this Article 6.
(b) Performance Awards . The
Committee may grant Performance Awards to one or more Participants.
The terms and conditions of Performance Awards shall be specified
at the time of the grant and may include provisions
establishing
the performance period, the Performance Goals to be achieved during
a performance period, and the maximum or minimum settlement values,
provided that such terms and conditions are (i) not
inconsistent with the Plan and (ii) to the extent a
Performance Award issued under the Plan is subject to
Section 409A of the Code, in compliance with the applicable
requirements of Section 409A of the Code and the regulations
or other guidance issued thereunder. Performance Awards granted in
the form of Restricted Stock Awards shall provide for the issuance
of the shares of Restricted Stock at the time of the grant of the
Performance Award and Performance Awards granted in the form of
Restricted Stock Units shall provide for the issuance of the shares
of Common Stock at the time of the certification by the Committee
that the Performance Goals for the performance period have been
met; provided, however, if shares of Restricted Stock are issued at
the time of the grant of the Performance Award (granted in the form
of a Restricted Stock Award), the consideration for the issuance of
such shares shall be the achievement of the Performance Goals
established at the time of the grant of the Performance Award, and
if, at the end of the performance period, the Performance Goals are
not certified by the Committee to have been fully satisfied, then,
notwithstanding any other provisions of this Plan to the contrary,
the Restricted Stock shall be forfeited in accordance with the
terms of the grant to the extent the Committee determines that the
Performance Goals were not met. The forfeiture of Restricted Stock
issued at the time of the grant of the Performance Award due to
failure to achieve the established Performance Goals shall be
separate from and in addition to any other Forfeiture Restrictions
(as defined in Section 6.2 hereof) provided for in this Plan.
Each Performance Award granted to one or more Participants shall
have its own terms and conditions.
If it is determined to be
necessary in order to satisfy Code Section 162(m), the
Committee shall, at the time of the grant of a Performance Award,
and to the extent permitted under Code Section 162(m) and the
regulations issued thereunder, provide for the manner in which the
Performance Goals shall be reduced to take into account the
negative effect on the achievement of specified levels of the
Performance Goals which may result from enumerated corporate
transactions, extraordinary events, accounting changes and other
similar occurrences which were unanticipated at the time of the
grant. In no event, however, may the Committee increase the shares
of Common Stock that may be earned under a Performance Award,
unless the reduction in the Performance Goals would reduce or
eliminate the number of shares of Common Stock to be earned under
the Performance Award and the Committee determines not to make such
reduction or elimination. The extent to which any applicable
performance objective has been achieved shall be conclusively
determined by the Committee.
With respect to a Performance
Award that is not intended to satisfy the requirements of Code
Section 162(m), if the Committee determines, in its sole
discretion, that the established performance measures or objectives
are no longer suitable because of a change in the Company’s
business, operations, corporate structure, or for other reasons
that the Committee deemed satisfactory, the Committee may modify
the performance measures or objectives and/or the performance
period.
(c) Maximum Performance
Award . Notwithstanding the foregoing, in order to comply with
the requirements of Section 162(m) of the Code, no Employee
may receive in any calendar year Performance Awards having an
aggregate value of more than $3,
