SECTION 1. PURPOSE OF THE
PLAN.
The Board adopted the Plan effective
as of March 9, 2000, and amended it from time to time
thereafter. The Board most recently amended and restated the Plan
effective as of February 1, 2008. The purpose of the Plan is
to provide Eligible Employees with an opportunity to increase their
proprietary interest in the success of the Company by purchasing
Stock from the Company on favorable terms and to pay for such
purchases through payroll deductions. The Plan is intended to
qualify for favorable tax treatment under section 423 of the
Code.
SECTION 2. ADMINISTRATION OF THE
PLAN.
(a) Committee Composition .
The Committee shall administer the Plan. The Committee shall
consist exclusively of one or more members of the Board, who shall
be appointed by the Board.
(b) Committee
Responsibilities . The Committee shall interpret the Plan and
make all other policy decisions relating to the operation of the
Plan. The Committee may adopt such rules, guidelines and forms as
it deems appropriate to implement the Plan. The Committee’s
determinations under the Plan shall be final and binding on all
persons.
SECTION 3. STOCK OFFERED UNDER
THE PLAN.
(a) Authorized Shares . The
number of shares of Stock available for purchase under the Plan
shall be 1,000,000 (subject to adjustment pursuant to
Subsection (b) below). On May 1 of each year from 2001
through 2007, and on February 1 of each year after 2007, the
aggregate number of shares of Stock available for purchase during
the life of the Plan shall automatically increase by a number equal
to the lowest of:
(i) 2% of the total number of Common
Shares then outstanding;
(ii) 1,000,000 Common Shares
(subject to adjustment pursuant to Subsection (b) below);
or
(iii) The number determined by the
Board.
(b) Anti-Dilution Adjustments
. The aggregate number of shares of Stock offered under the Plan,
the number of shares of Stock set forth in Subsection (a)(ii)
above, the 5,000-share limitation described in Section 8(c)
and the price of shares that any Participant has elected to
purchase shall be adjusted proportionately for any increase or
decrease in the number
of outstanding shares of Stock resulting from a
subdivision or consolidation of shares or the payment of a stock
dividend, any other increase or decrease in such shares effected
without receipt or payment of consideration by the Company, the
distribution of the shares of a Subsidiary to the Company’s
stockholders, or a similar event.
(c) Reorganizations . Any
other provision of the Plan notwithstanding, immediately prior to
the effective time of a Corporate Reorganization, the Offering
Period then in progress shall terminate and shares shall be
purchased pursuant to Section 8, unless the Plan is continued
or assumed by the surviving corporation or its parent corporation.
The Plan shall in no event be construed to restrict in any way the
Company’s right to undertake a dissolution, liquidation,
merger, consolidation or other reorganization.
SECTION 4. ENROLLMENT AND
PARTICIPATION.
(a) Offering Periods . While
the Plan is in effect, two Offering Periods shall commence in each
calendar year. The Offering Periods shall consist of the six-month
periods commencing on each February 1 and August 1.
However, the Committee may determine that the first Offering Period
applicable to the Eligible Employees of a new Participating Company
shall commence on any date specified by the Committee, provided
that an Offering Period shall in no event be longer than 27
months.
(b) Enrollment . In the case
of any individual who qualifies as an Eligible Employee on the
first day of an Offering Period, he or she may elect to become a
Participant on such day by filing the prescribed enrollment form
with the Company. The enrollment form shall be filed at the
prescribed location at least 15 days prior to such day.
(c) Duration of Participation
. Once enrolled in the Plan, a Participant shall continue to
participate in the Plan until he or she:
(i) Reaches the end of the Offering
Period in which his or her employee contributions were discontinued
under Section 5(c) or 9(b);
(ii) Is deemed to withdraw from the
Plan under Subsection (b) above;
(iii) Withdraws from the Plan under
Section 6(a); or
(iv) Ceases to be an Eligible
Employee.
A Participant whose employee
contributions were discontinued automatically under
Section 9(b) shall automatically resume participation at the
beginning of the earliest Offering Period ending in the next
calendar year, if he or she then is an Eligible Employee. In all
other cases, a former Participant may again become a Participant,
if he or she then is an Eligible Employee, by following the
procedure described in Subsection (c) above.
(d) Transition Rule . Any
provision of the Plan as in effect prior to February 1, 2008,
notwithstanding, each Participant who was enrolled in the Plan on
January 31,
2
2008, shall cease to be enrolled in any Offering
Period that commenced prior to February 1, 2008. Such
Participant shall automatically be enrolled in the new Offering
Period commencing on February 1, 2008.
SECTION 5. EMPLOYEE
CONTRIBUTIONS.
(a) Commencement of Payroll
Deductions . A Participant may purchase shares of Stock under
the Plan solely by means of payroll deductions. Payroll deductions
shall commence as soon as reasonably practicable after the Company
has received the prescribed enrollment form.
(b) Amount of Payroll
Deductions . An Eligible Employee shall designate on the
prescribed enrollment form the portion of his or her Compensation
that he or she elects to have withheld for the purchase of Stock.
Such portion shall be a whole percentage of the Eligible
Employee’s Compensation, but not less than 1% nor more than
15%.
(c) Reducing Withholding Rate or
Discontinuing Payroll Deductions . If a Participant wishes to
reduce his or her rate of payroll withholding, such Participant may
do so by filing a new enrollment form with the Company at the
prescribed location at any time. The new withholding rate shall be
effective as soon as reasonably practicable after the Company has
received such form. The new withholding rate may be 0% or any whole
percentage of the Participant’s Compensation, but not more
than his or her old withholding rate. No Participant shall make
more than two elections under this Subsection (c) during any
Offering Period. (In addition, employee contributions may be
discontinued automatically pursuant to
Section 9(b).)
(d) Increasing Withholding
Rate . If a Participant wishes to increase his or her rate of
payroll withholding, such Participant may do so by filing a new
enrollment form with the Company at the prescribed location at any
time. The new withholding rate may be effective on the first day of
any Offering Period, provided that the Participant has filed the
enrollment form with the Company at the prescribed location at
least 15 days prior to the first day of such Offering Period. The
new withholding rate may be any whole percentage of the
Participant’s Compensation, but
