(k)     “Performance Measure” means the measurable performance objective or objectives established pursuant to the Plan for Participants who have received grants of Awards pursuant to the Plan. Performance Measures may be described in terms of Company-wide objectives or objectives that are related to the performance of the individual Participant or of the subsidiary or division, segment, department, region or function within the Company or subsidiary of the Company in which the Participant is employed. The Performance Measures may be made relative to the performance of one or more other companies or an index. The Performance Measures applicable to any Qualified Performance-Based Award to a Covered Employee will be based on specified levels of or growth or improvement in one or more of the following criteria: (i) revenues; (ii) operating income; (iii) net income; (iv) earnings per Share; (v) return on equity; (vi) cash flow; (vii) shareholder total return; (viii) return on assets; (ix) return on investment; (x) asset turnover; (xi) liquidity; (xii) capitalization; (xiii) stock price; (xiv) expenses; (xv) operating profit and margin; (xvi) retained earnings; (xvii) market share; (xviii) sales to targeted customers; (xix) customer satisfaction; (xx) quality measures; (xxi) productivity; (xxii) safety measures; or (xxiii) educational and technical skills of employees.

In such case, the Committee will not make any modification of the Performance Measure or minimum acceptable level of achievement. Performance Measures may vary from Performance Period to Performance Period and from Participant to Participant and may be established on a stand-alone basis, in tandem or in the alternative.

 

(l)     “Performance Period” means one or more periods of time as the Committee may designate over which the attainment of one or more Performance Measures will be measured for the purpose of determining a Participant’s rights in respect of an Award with respect thereto. A Performance Period may overlap with prior and subsequent Performance Periods, and the commencement or conclusion of a Performance Period may coincide with the commencement or conclusion of another Performance Period.

 

(m)     “Qualified Performance-Based Award” means any Award or portion of an Award that is intended to satisfy the requirements for “qualified performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code.

SHARES AVAILABLE FOR AWARDS

 

Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 11 below, the aggregate number of Shares reserved and available for Awards under the Plan shall be 3,100,000. The aggregate number of shares that may be issued by the Company upon the exercise of incentive stock options will not exceed 3,100,000 shares. No more than 500,000 Shares shall be the subject of Awards to any individual Participant in any one calendar year. Shares issuable under the Plan may consist of authorized and unissued Shares or treasury Shares.

 

Any Shares issued by the Company through the assumption or substitution of outstanding grants previously made by an acquired corporation or entity shall not reduce the Shares available for Awards under the Plan. If any Shares subject to any Award granted under the Plan are forfeited or if such Award otherwise terminates without the issuance of such Shares or payment of other consideration in lieu of such Shares, the Shares subject to such Award, to the extent of any such forfeiture or termination, shall again be available for grant under the Plan as if such Shares had not been subject to an Award. Additionally, in the event that a company acquired by the Company or any subsidiary or with which the Company or any subsidiary combines has shares available under a pre-existing plan approved by stockholders and not adopted in contemplation of such acquisition or combination, the shares available for grant pursuant to the terms of such pre-existing plan (as adjusted, to the extent appropriate, to reflect the

consideration payable to the holders of common stock of the entities party to such acquisition or combination) may be used for Awards under the Plan and shall not reduce the Shares authorized for grant under the Plan; provided, however, that Awards using such available shares shall not be made after the date awards or grants could have been made under the terms of the pre-existing plan, absent the acquisition or combination, and shall only be made to individuals who were not employees or directors of the Company or any subsidiary prior to such acquisition or combination.

ADMINISTRATION

 

(a)     The Plan shall be administered by the Committee, which shall have full power and authority to interpret the Plan, to grant waivers of Plan restrictions and to adopt such rules, regulations and policies for carrying out the Plan as it may deem necessary or proper in order to further the purposes of the Plan. In particular, the Committee shall have the authority to (i) select Participants to receive Awards, (ii) determine the number and type of Awards to be granted, (iii) determine the terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms hereof, of any Award granted, (iv) interpret the terms and provisions of the Plan and any Award granted, (v) prescribe the form of any agreement or instrument executed in connection with any Award, and (vi) establish, amend and rescind such rules, regulations and policies for the administration of the Plan as it may deem advisable from time to time.

 

(b)     The Committee may delegate to one or more of its members or to one or more officers of the Company, or to one or more agents or advisors, such administrative duties or powers as it may deem advisable, and the Committee or any person to whom duties or powers have been delegated as aforesaid may employ one or more persons to render advice with respect to any responsibility the Committee or such person may have under the Plan. The Committee may, by resolution, authorize one or more officers of the Company to do one or both of the following on the same basis as the Committee: (i) designate individuals to be recipients of Awards under the Plan; and (ii) determine the size of any such Awards; provided, however, that (A) the Committee shall not delegate such responsibilities to any such officer for Awards granted to an individual who is an officer, director, or more than 10% beneficial owner of any class of the Company’s equity securities that is registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act, as determined by the Committee in accordance with Section 16 of the Exchange Act; (B) the resolution providing for such authorization sets forth the total number of Common Shares such officer(s) may grant; and (C) the officer(s) shall report periodically to the Committee regarding the nature and scope of the Awards granted pursuant to the authority delegated.

AWARDS

 

The Committee shall determine the type(s) of Award(s) to be made to each Participant and shall set forth in the related Evidence of Award the terms, conditions and limitations applicable to each Award. Awards may include but are not limited to those listed in this Section 5. Awards may be made singly, in combination, in tandem or in exchange for a previously granted Award, and also may be made in combination or in tandem with, in replacement of, or as alternatives to, grants or rights under any other employee plan of the Company, including the plan of any acquired entity.

 

(a)      Stock Options. Awards may be made in the form of stock options, which may be incentive stock options within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code or nonstatutory stock options not intended to qualify under Section 422 of the Code. Incentive stock options may be granted only to “employees” (under Section 3401(c) of the Code) of the Company or a subsidiary of the Company (under Section 424 of the Code). The aggregate Fair Market Value (determined at the time the option is granted) of Shares as to which incentive stock options are exercisable for the first time by a Participant during any calendar year (under the Plan and any other plan of the Company) shall not exceed $100,000 (or such other limit as may be required by the Code from time to time). The exercise price of stock options granted under the Plan shall be not less than 100% of Fair Market Value on the date of the grant. A stock option granted under the Plan shall be exercisable in whole or in such installments and at such times and upon such terms as may be determined by the Committee, provided that no stock option shall be exercisable more than ten years after the date of grant. A participant may pay the exercise price of a stock option in cash, Shares or a combination of cash and Shares. The Committee shall establish appropriate procedures for accepting Shares in payment of the exercise price of a stock option and may impose such conditions as it deems appropriate on such use of Shares.

(b)      Stock Appreciation Rights. Awards may be granted in the form of stock appreciation rights (“SARs”). SARs shall entitle the recipient to receive a payment, in cash or Shares, equal to the appreciation in market value of a stated number of Shares from the price stated in the Evidence of Award, which will be equal to or greater than the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant, to the Fair Market Value on the date of exercise or surrender. SARs may be granted either separately or in conjunction with other Awards granted under the Plan. Any SAR that is granted separately from another Award shall be exercisable in whole or in such installments and at such times and upon such terms as may be determined by the Committee
