Measures may be described in terms of Company-wide objectives or

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;

Company. If provided for in an applicable Evidence of Award, if the
Committee determines that a change in the business, operations,
corporate structure or capital structure of the Company, or the
manner in which it conducts its business, or other events or
circumstances render the Performance Measures unsuitable, the
Committee may in its discretion modify such Performance Measures or
the related minimum acceptable level of achievement, in whole or in
part, as the Committee deems appropriate and equitable, including
to exclude the effects of extraordinary items, unusual or
non-recurring events, cumulative effects of tax or accounting
changes, discontinued operations, acquisitions, divestitures and
material restructuring or asset impairment charges, except in the
case of a Qualified Performance-Based Award where such action would
result in the loss of the otherwise available exemption of the
award under Section 162(m) of the Code. 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

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
A-2
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.
(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.
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.
A-3
(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
