SECTION 2. ADMINISTRATION

The Plan will be administered by the Committee, which will have the power to interpret the Plan and to adopt such rules and guidelines for carrying out the Plan, as it may deem appropriate. The Committee will have the authority to adopt such modifications, procedures and subplans, consistent with the objectives of the Plan, as may be necessary or desirable to comply with the laws, regulations, practices and tax and accounting principles of the countries in which the Company or a Subsidiary or Affiliate may operate and/or to assure the economic viability of Awards made to individuals employed in such countries.

 

3


Subject to the terms of the Plan, the Committee will have the authority to determine those individuals eligible to receive Awards and the amount, type and terms of each Award and to establish and administer any Performance Goals applicable to such Awards, but, at the discretion of the Board, these determinations may be made subject to ratification by the Board.

The Committee may delegate its authority and power under the Plan in whole or in part to a subcommittee consisting of two or more non-employee directors who are “outside directors” within the meaning of section 162(m) of the Code. The Committee may similarly delegate its authority or power under the Plan to one or more officers of the Company, subject to guidelines prescribed by the Committee, with respect to participants who are not subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act and who are not “covered employees” within the meaning of section 162(m) of the Code.

Any determination made by the Committee or pursuant to delegated authority in accordance with the provisions of the Plan with respect to any Award will be made in the sole discretion of the Committee or such delegate, and all decisions made by the Committee or any appropriately designated officer pursuant to the provisions of the Plan will be final and binding on all persons, including the Company and Plan participants, but subject to ratification by the Board if the Board so provides.

SECTION 3. ELIGIBLE PARTICIPANTS

Participants in the Plan shall be such employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, including elected officers, and non-employee directors of the Company, that are selected by the Committee, in its sole discretion, from time to time to receive an Award under the Plan. The Plan is discretionary in nature, and the grant of Awards by the Committee is voluntary and occasional. The Committee’s selection of an eligible employee to receive an Award in any year or at any time shall not require the Committee to select such employee to receive an Award in any other year or at any other time. The selection of an employee to receive one type of Award under the Plan does not require the Committee to select such employee to receive any other type of Award under the Plan. The Committee shall consider such factors as it deems pertinent in selecting Participants and in determining the type and amount of their respective Awards.

SECTION 4. STOCK SUBJECT TO PLAN

The number of shares of Stock authorized for issuance under the Plan will be 20.0 million shares. Any or all of the authorized shares may be issued pursuant to the exercise of Stock Options awarded under the Plan, but no more than a total of 10.0 million shares may be issued with respect to Awards other than Stock Options. If any Award is exercised, cashed out or terminates or expires without a payment being made to the Participant in the form of Stock, the shares subject to such Award, if any, will again be available for issuance in connection with Awards under the Plan. Any shares of Stock that are used by a Participant as full or partial payment of withholding or other taxes or as payment for the exercise or conversion price of an Award will be available for issuance in connection with Awards under the Plan.

In the event of any merger, reorganization, consolidation, recapitalization, share exchange, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, split-up, spin-off, issuance of rights or warrants or other change in corporate structure affecting the Stock after adoption of the Plan by the Board, the Board is authorized to make substitutions or adjustments in the aggregate number and kind of shares reserved for issuance under the Plan, in the number, kind and price of shares subject to outstanding Awards and in the Award limits set forth in Sections 4 and 5, provided, however, that any such substitutions or adjustments will be, to the extent deemed appropriate by the Board, consistent with the treatment of shares of Stock not subject to the Plan, and that the number of shares subject to any Award will always be a whole number.

SECTION 5. AWARDS — GENERAL TERMS AND LIMITATIONS

(a) AWARDS GRANTED AT FAIR MARKET VALUE. The exercise price of a Stock Option and the grant price of an SAR may not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value on the date of grant. In addition, to the extent that the value of an Other Stock-Based Award is based on Spread Value, the grant price for the Other Stock-Based Award may not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value on the date of grant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in connection with any reorganization, merger, consolidation or similar transaction in which the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company is a surviving corporation, the Committee may grant Stock Options, SARs or Other Stock-Based Awards in substitution for similar awards granted under a plan of another party to the transaction and may adjust Awards under this Plan, and in such a case the exercise price or grant price of the substituted Stock Options, SARs or Other Stock-Based Awards granted by the Company may equal or exceed 100% of the Fair Market Value on the date of grant reduced by any unrealized gain existing as of the date of the transaction in the option, stock appreciation right or other award being replaced; provided, however, that the exercise price, grant price or other adjustment does not exceed the price or adjustment permitted for the grant not to be considered a new grant in accordance with regulations under Section 409A of the Code and Section 424 of the Code for an Incentive Stock Option.

(b) ANNUAL AWARD LIMITATION. The total number of shares of Restricted Stock and other shares of Stock subject to or underlying Stock Options, SARs and Other Stock-Based Awards awarded to any Participant during any year may not exceed (i) two million shares, multiplied by (ii) the number of calendar years during which the Participant was eligible to participate in the Plan in accordance with Section 3 above, and reduced by (iii) the number of shares with respect to which the participant has received awards of Restricted Stock, Stock Options, SARs and/or Other Stock-Based Awards under the Plan. An Annual Incentive Award paid to a participant with respect to any Performance Cycle may not exceed $5,000,000. A Long-Term Incentive Award paid to a participant with respect to any Performance Cycle may not exceed $3,000,000 times the number of years in the Performance Cycle.

(c) PERFORMANCE-BASED AWARDS. Any Awards granted pursuant to the Plan may, at the discretion of the Committee, be in the form of performance-based Awards through the application of Performance Goals over a specified Performance Cycle.

(d) MINIMUM VESTING PERIODS. Except in the case of a new-hire Award or under such other circumstances deemed appropriate by the Committee, no Stock Option, Stock Appreciation Right, Restricted Share or Other Stock-Based Award may be granted with a vesting period of less than one year.

SECTION 6. STOCK OPTIONS

(a) STOCK OPTION AWARDS. A Stock Option represents the right to purchase a share of Stock at a predetermined exercise price. Stock Options granted under the Plan will be in the form of Incentive Stock Options or Nonqualified Stock Options. The terms and conditions of each Stock Option Award, including the Stock Option term, exercise price, applicable vesting periods and any other restrictions/conditions on exercise, will be determined in the sole discretion of the Committee and will be set forth in an Award agreement.

(b) DURATION OF STOCK OPTIONS. Stock Options will terminate after the first to occur of the following:

 

(1)

Expiration of the Stock Option as provided in the applicable Award agreement;

(2) Termination of the Stock Option Award, as provided in Section 6(d), following the participant’s Termination of Employment;

(3) In the case of an Incentive Stock Option, ten years from the date of grant.

(c) ACCELERATION/EXTENSION OF EXERCISE TIME. The Committee, in its sole discretion, shall have the right (but shall not in any case be obligated) to permit purchase of shares under any Stock Option prior to the time such Option would otherwise vest under the terms of the applicable Award agreement. In addition, the Committee, in its sole discretion, shall have the right (but shall not in any case be obligated) to permit any Stock Option granted under the Plan to be exercised after its termination date described in Section 6(d), but in no event later than the last day of the term of the Stock Option as set forth in the applicable Award agreement.

(d) EXERCISE OF STOCK OPTIONS UPON TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 6(d) or in Section 6(c), or as otherwise expressly provided in a Participant’s Award agreement as authorized by the Committee, the right of the Participant to exercise Stock Options shall terminate upon the Participant’s Termination of Employment, regardless of whether or not the Stock Options were vested in whole or in part on the date of Termination of Employment.

(1) Disability or Normal Retirement. Upon a Participant’s Termination of Employment by reason of disability or retirement on or after his/her Normal Retirement Date, a participant may, within five years after the Termination of Employment, exercise all or a part of his/her Stock Options that were vested upon such Termination of Employment (or which became vested at a later date pursuant to Section 6(d)(3) below). In no event, however, may any Stock Option be exercised later than the last day of the term of the Stock Option as set forth in the applicable Award agreement.

(2) Death.

(3) Termination of Employment at Age 55 with Five Years of Service. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 6 to the contrary, if Termination of Employment occurs after the participant has attained age 55 and completed five years of service with the Company and/or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, (A) the participant shall continue to vest in each of his/her Stock Options in accordance with the vesting schedules set forth in the applicable Award agreements, and (B) the participant may exercise his/her Stock Options, to the extent that the Stock Options have vested as of the Termination of Employment or thereafter in accordance with Section 6(d)(3)(A), for a period of five years from the date of the participant’s Termination of Employment.
