Participant, such shares may again be
optioned, granted or awarded hereunder.
Notwithstanding the provisions of this

Consultant or Director selected to participate
pursuant to Section 3.2 shall be eligible

determine which Employees, Consultants and
Directors, shall receive Awards, whether

will receive Options, Restricted Common
Stock, Restricted Stock Units, Deferred
Stock Units, SARs or Performance Units,
whether an Option grant shall be of
Incentive Stock Options or Non-Qualified
Stock Options, and the number of shares
of Common Stock subject to such Award.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the terms
and conditions of an Award intended to
qualify as performance-based compensation
as described in Section 162(m)(4)(C) of the
Code shall include, but not be
limited to, such terms and conditions as
may be necessary to meet the applicable
provisions of Section 162(m) of the
Code.
3.3 PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO
SECTION 162(m) PARTICIPANTS.
3.3.1 Notwithstanding anything in the Plan
to the contrary, the Committee may
grant Options, Restricted Common Stock,
Restricted Stock Units, SARs or
Performance Units to a Section 162(m)
Participant that vest upon the attainment
of performance targets for the Company
which are related to one or more of the
following performance goals: (i) pre-tax

cash flow, (iv) earnings per share, (v)
return on equity, (vi) return on
invested capital or assets, (vii) cost
reductions or savings, or (vii) such
other identifiable and measurable
performance objectives, as determined by the
Committee.
3.3.2 To the extent necessary to comply
with the performance-based compensation
requirements of Section 162(m)(4)(C) of the
Code, no later than ninety (90) days
following the commencement of any fiscal
year in question or any other
designated fiscal period (or such other
time as may be required or permitted by
Section 162(m) of the Code), the Committee
shall, in writing, (i) designate one
or more Section 162(m) Participants, (ii)
select the performance goal or goals
applicable to the fiscal year or other
designated fiscal period, (iii) establish
the various targets and bonus amounts which
may be earned for such fiscal year
or other designated fiscal period and (iv)
specify the relationship between
performance goals and targets and the
amounts to be earned by each Section
162(m) Participant for such fiscal year or
other designated fiscal period.
Following the completion of each fiscal
year or other designated fiscal period,
the Committee shall certify in writing
whether the applicable performance
targets have been achieved for such fiscal
year or other designated fiscal
period. In determining the amount earned by
a Section 162(m) Participant, the
Committee shall have the right to reduce
(but not to increase) the amount
payable at a given level of performance to
take into account additional factors
that the Committee may deem relevant to the
assessment of individual or
corporate performance for the fiscal year
or other designated fiscal period.
3.4 AWARD AGREEMENT. Upon the
selection of an Employee, Consultant or Director
to become a Participant and receive an
Award, the Committee shall cause a
written Award Agreement to be issued to
such individual encompassing the terms
and conditions of such Award, as determined
by the Committee in its sole
discretion; provided, however, that if
applicable, the terms of such Award
Agreement shall comply with the terms of
such Participant's Employment
Agreement, if any. Such Award Agreement
shall provide for the exercise price for
Options and SARs; the purchase price for
Restricted Common Stock, Restricted
Stock Units and Deferred Stock Units; the
performance criteria for Performance
Units; and the exercisability and vesting
schedule, payment terms and such other
terms and conditions of such Award, as
determined by the Committee in its sole
discretion. Each Award Agreement shall be
executed by
6
<PAGE>
the Participant and an officer or a
Director (other than the Participant) of the
Company authorized to sign such Award
Agreement and shall contain such terms and
conditions that are consistent with the
Plan, including but not limited to the
exercisability and vesting schedule, if
any, as the Committee in its sole
discretion shall determine. All Awards
shall be made conditional upon the
Participant's acknowledgment, in writing in
the Award Agreement or otherwise by
acceptance of the Award, that all decisions
and determinations of the Committee
shall be final and binding on the
Participant, his beneficiaries and any other
person having or claiming an interest under
such Award.
ARTICLE 4. OPTIONS
4.1 AWARD AGREEMENT FOR OPTION
GRANT. Option grants shall be evidenced by an
Award Agreement, pursuant to Section 3.4.
All Award Agreements evidencing
Options intended to qualify as
performance-based compensation as described in
Section 162(m)(4)(C) of the Code shall
contain such terms and conditions as may
be necessary to meet the applicable
provisions of Section 162(m) of the Code.
All Award Agreements evidencing Incentive
Stock Options shall contain such terms
and conditions as may be necessary to meet
the applicable provisions of Section
422 of the Code.
4.2 OPTION PRICE. The price per
share of the Common Stock subject to each
Option shall be set by the Committee;
provided, however, that (i) such price
shall not be less than the par value of a
share of Common Stock and shall not be
less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of
a share of Common Stock on the date
the Option is granted, (ii) in the case of
Incentive Stock Options granted to an
individual then owning (within the meaning
of Section 424(d) of the Code) more
than 10% of the total combined voting power
of all classes of stock of the
Company or any Subsidiary or parent
corporation thereof (within the meaning of
Section 422 of the Code), such price shall
not be less than 110% of the Fair
Market Value of a share of Common Stock on
the date the Option is granted.
4.3 QUALIFICATION FOR INCENTIVE
STOCK OPTIONS. The Committee may grant an
Incentive Stock Option to an individual if
such person is an Employee of the
Company or is an Employee of an Affiliate
or Subsidiary as permitted under
Section 422(a)(2) of the Code.
4.4 CHANGE IN INCENTIVE STOCK
OPTION GRANT. Any Incentive Stock Option granted
under this Plan may be modified by the
Committee to disqualify such Option from
treatment as an Incentive Stock Option
under Section 422 of the Code. To the
extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value
of shares of Common Stock with
respect to which Incentive Stock Options
(within the meaning of Section 422 of
the Code, but without regard to Section
422(d) of the Code) are exercisable for
the first time by a Participant during any
calendar year (under the Plan and all
other Incentive Stock Option plans of the
Company) exceeds $100,000, such
Options shall be treated as Non-Qualified
Stock Options to the extent required
or permitted by Section 422 of the Code.
The rule set forth in the preceding
sentence shall be applied by taking Options
into account in the order in which
they were granted. For purposes of this
Section 4.4, the Fair Market Value of
shares of Common Stock shall be determined
as of the time the Option with
respect to such shares of Common Stock is
granted, pursuant to Section 4.7.
7
<PAGE>
4.5 OPTION TERM. The term of an
Option shall be set by the Committee in its
discretion; provided, however, in the case
of Incentive Stock Options, the term
shall not be more than ten (10) years from
the date the Incentive Stock Option
is granted, or five (5) years from such
date if the Incentive Stock Option is
granted to an Employee then owning (within
the meaning of Section 424(d) of the
Code) more than 10% of the total combined
voting power of all classes of stock
of the Company or any Subsidiary or parent
corporation thereof (within the
meaning of Section 422 of the Code). Such
Incentive Stock Options shall be
subject to Section 5.6, except as limited
by the requirements of Section 422 of
the Code and regulations and rulings
thereunder applicable to Incentive Stock
Options.
4.6 OPTION EXERCISABILITY AND
VESTING.
4.6.1 The period during which Options in
whole or in part become exercisable and
vest in the Participant shall be set by the
Committee and shall be as provided
for in the Award Agreement. At any time
after the grant of an Option, the
Committee may, in its sole and absolute
discretion and subject to whatever terms
and conditions it selects, accelerate the
period during which an Option becomes
exercisable and vests.
4.6.2 In each Award Agreement, the
Committee shall indicate whether the portion
of the Options, if any, that remains
non-exercisable and non-vested upon the
Participant's Termination of Employment
with the Company is forfeited. In so
specifying, the Committee may differentiate
between the reason for the
Participant's Termination of
Employment.
4.6.3 At any time on or after the grant of
an Option, the Committee may provide
in an Award Agreement that the Participant
may elect to exercise part or all of
an Option before it otherwise has become
exercisable. Any shares of Common Stock
so purchased shall be restricted Common
Stock and shall be subject to a
repu
