5. AWARDS UNDER THIS PLAN

Subject to the provisions of this Plan, the Committee shall have the sole and complete authority to determine the Employees to whom Awards shall be granted and the type, terms and conditions of such Awards. As the Committee may determine, the following types of Awards may be granted under this Plan to Employees on a stand alone, combination or tandem basis:

(a) Options. An Award consisting of a right to buy a specified number of shares of Common Stock at a fixed exercise price during a specified time, and subject to such other terms and conditions, all as the Committee may determine. Such Options may be Non-Qualified Stock Options or Incentive Stock Options. The exercise price for an Award of Options (whether or not they are Incentive Stock Options) may not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the grant date. The terms and conditions for an Award of Incentive Stock Options must otherwise comply with the requirements of Section 422 of the Code or any successor Section as it may be amended from time to time. Non-Qualified Stock Options are not intended to satisfy the Code requirements for Incentive Stock Options and need not meet such requirements. Each Stock Option granted as an Award under this Plan shall be subject to the provisions of this Plan and the applicable Award Agreement approved by the Committee pursuant to Section 6(b) governing that Option.

(b) Performance Awards. An Award granted to an Employee consisting of the right to receive cash, shares of Common Stock, Options or Restricted Shares that are not to be issued to the Employee until after the satisfaction of the related Performance Goals during the related Performance Period. Such Awards shall be subject to the following conditions and procedures:

(c) Restricted Shares. An Award consisting of a transfer of shares of Common Stock to a Participant, subject to such restrictions on transfer or other incidents of ownership, for such periods of time (with respect to each Award, the “Restriction Period”) as the Committee may determine. Restrictions on an Award of Restricted Shares may include the attainment of specified Performance Goals during a designated Performance Period having a minimum duration of at least one year, the passage of a period of time having a minimum duration of at least three years (during which Awards may vest incrementally), or a combination of such restrictions and/or of other delayed vesting conditions; provided that in no event may the minimum duration of such Restriction Period be waived except in the case of death, disability, termination of employment or a Change of Control. If the issuance, vesting and/or transfer of ownership of Restricted Shares granted under this Plan is contingent upon the attainment of Performance Goals during a designated Performance Period, the Award shall also be considered a Performance Award and shall be subject to the provisions of Section 6(b) as well as those of this Section 6(c). Awards of Restricted Shares under this Plan shall be subject to the following conditions and procedures:
