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
