2005 STOCK INCENTIVE
PLAN
(As amended and restated on
January 28, 2009)
SECTION 1.
ESTABLISHMENT AND PURPOSE.
The Plan was
adopted by the Board of Directors on September 8, 2005, and
shall be effective as of the date of the initial offering of Stock
to the public pursuant to a registration statement filed by the
Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
“Effective Date”). The Plan was amended and restated on
January 28, 2009. The purpose of the Plan is to promote the
long-term success of the Company and the creation of stockholder
value by (a) encouraging Employees, Outside Directors and
Consultants to focus on critical long-range objectives,
(b) encouraging the attraction and retention of Employees,
Outside Directors and Consultants with exceptional qualifications
and (c) linking Employees, Outside Directors and Consultants
directly to stockholder interests through increased stock
ownership. The Plan seeks to achieve this purpose by providing for
Awards in the form of restricted shares, stock units, options
(which may constitute incentive stock options or nonstatutory stock
options) or stock appreciation rights.
(a) “Affiliate” shall mean any entity other
than a Subsidiary, if the Company and/or one or more Subsidiaries
own not less than 50% of such entity.
(b) “Award” shall mean any award of an
Option, a SAR, a Restricted Share or a Stock Unit under the
Plan.
(c) “Board of Directors” shall mean the
Board of Directors of the Company, as constituted from time to
time.
(d) “Change in Control” shall mean the
occurrence of any of the following events:
(i) A change in
the composition of the Board of Directors occurs, as a result of
which fewer than one-half of the incumbent directors are directors
who either:
(A) Had been
directors of the Company on the “look-back date” (as
defined below) (the “original directors”);
or
(B) Were elected,
or nominated for election, to the Board of Directors with the
affirmative votes of at least a majority of the aggregate of the
original directors who were still in office at the time of the
election or nomination and the directors whose election or
nomination was previously so approved (the “continuing
directors”); or

(ii) Any
“person” (as defined below) who by the acquisition or
aggregation of securities, is or becomes the “beneficial
owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange
