Shares of
Common Stock Subject to the Plan
|
(a) Subject to the provisions of
Section 1.3(c) and Section 9.1 of the Plan, the aggregate
number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued pursuant to
Incentive Awards under the Plan shall be 4,650,000 shares; provided
that of these shares, the 2,000,000 shares that were added to the
Plan by amendment effective January 21, 2003, shall not be
subject to any Incentive Awards other than Options and Stock
Appreciation Rights. Notwithstanding the foregoing, but subject to
Section 9.1 of the Plan, (i) commencing with the 2003
calendar year, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock with
respect to which Incentive Awards (including Incentive Awards
payable in cash but denominated in Common Stock, e.g. ,
cash-settled Rights or Restricted Stock Units) may be granted to
any individual Participant during any calendar year shall not
exceed 100,000, and (ii) the total number of shares that may
be made subject to awards of Restricted Stock, Stock
Payments,
2
or stock-settled Restricted Stock Units granted
under the Plan on or after April 22, 2003, shall not exceed 5%
of the total number of shares of Common Stock authorized under the
Plan as of such date but not subject to an Incentive Award
immediately before such date. The grant of any Incentive Award that
may be settled only in cash shall not reduce the number of shares
of Common Stock with respect to which Incentive Awards may be
granted under the Plan.
(b) The Common Stock to be issued
under the Plan will be made available, at the discretion of the
Board or the Committee, either from authorized but unissued shares
of Common Stock or from previously issued shares of Common Stock
reacquired by the Company, including shares purchased on the open
market.
(c) If any shares of Common Stock
subject to an Option (and related Stock Appreciation Right, if any)
terminate without being exercised, then shares subject to such
Option shall be available again for the grant of Options or other
Incentive Awards under the Plan. If any shares subject to a
Restricted Stock Award are forfeited, expire or are otherwise
cancelled or terminated, then shares subject to such Restricted
Stock Award shall be available again for the grant of Restricted
Stock Awards or other Incentive Awards under the Plan. Shares of
Common Stock with reference to which Stock Appreciation Rights have
been granted shall be available for granting of Incentive Awards to
the extent the Stock Appreciation Rights are exercised for cash,
or, with respect to Stock Appreciation Rights not related to
Options, to the extent the Stock Appreciation Rights terminate
without being exercised. If any other Incentive Award shall expire
or be forfeited, cancelled or terminated for any reason, the shares
of Common Stock available under such Incentive Award shall be
available again for the granting of Incentive Awards to the maximum
extent consistent with Rule 16b-3. To the extent that payment
for an Option upon exercise is made with shares of Common Stock or
shares of Common Stock are withheld from payment of an Incentive
Award in satisfaction of any federal, state or local tax
withholding requirements, such shares of Common Stock shall again
be available for issuance in connection with future Incentive
Awards granted under the Plan.

Administration of the Plan
|
(a) The Plan will be administered by
the Committee, which will consist of two or more persons who are
“non-employee directors” within the meaning of
Rule 16b-3 and “outside directors” within the
meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code.
(b) Subject to the express
provisions of the Plan, the Committee has and may exercise such
powers and authority of the Board as may be necessary or
appropriate for the Committee to carry out its functions as
described in the Plan. The Committee has authority in its
discretion to determine the Employees to whom, and the time or
times at which, Incentive Awards may be granted or sold, the nature
of the Incentive Award, the number of shares of Common Stock that
make up each Incentive Award, the performance criteria (which need
not be identical) utilized to measure the value of Performance
Awards, the form of payment (cash or Common Stock or a combination
thereof) payable upon the event or events giving rise to payment of
an Incentive Award and such other terms and conditions applicable
to each individual Incentive Award as the Committee shall
determine. Subject to Section 9.7(c) of the Plan, the
Committee may grant at any time new Incentive Awards to a
Participant who has previously received Incentive Awards or other
grants (including other stock options) whether such prior Incentive
Awards or such other grants are still outstanding, have previously
been exercised in whole or in part, or are forfeited or otherwise
canceled in whole or in part. The purchase price or initial value
of the Incentive Awards may be established by the Committee without
regard to the existing Incentive Awards or such other
grants.
(c) Each Incentive Award will either
be evidenced by a written instrument or granted pursuant to a
written plan adopted by the Committee and may include any other
terms and conditions consistent with the Plan as the Committee may
in its discretion determine, including without limitation terms and
conditions that would prohibit a Participant from transferring or
otherwise disposing of a share of Common Stock issued under an
Incentive Award for a period identified in the Incentive Award
Agreement or require the forfeiture of a share of Common Stock
issued under an Incentive Award if the Participant engages in any
conduct that is identified in the Incentive Award agreement. Each
Option award agreement shall designate the Option as either an
Incentive Stock Option or Nonqualified Stock Option. The Committee
may permit a Participant to elect to defer receipt of all or any
portion of the cash or shares of Common Stock that are payable
under an Incentive Award and provide that such deferred amount
shall be credited with an interest rate or such other rate of
return as shall be specified by the Committee, all on such terms
and conditions as may be established by the Committee.
(d) The Committee in its discretion
may condition entitlement to an Incentive Award in whole or in part
on the attainment of one or more Performance Goals. The Committee
shall establish any such Performance Goal not later than
90 days after the commencement of the period of service to
which the Incentive Award relates (or if less, 25% of such period
of service), and once granted, the Committee may not have
discretion to increase the amount payable under such Award,
provided, however, that whether or not an Incentive Award is
intended to constitute qualified performance based compensation
within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code, the
Committee shall have the authority to make appropriate
3
adjustments in Performance Goals under an
Incentive Award to reflect the impact of extraordinary items not
reflected in such Performance Goals. For purposes of the Plan,
extraordinary items shall be defined as (1) any profit or loss
attributable to acquisitions or dispositions of stock or assets,
(2) any changes in accounting standards that may be required
or permitted by the Financial Accounting Standards Board or adopted
by the Company after the goal is established, (3) all items of
gain, loss or expense for the year related to restructuring charges
for the Company, (4) all items of gain, loss or expense for
the year determined to be extraordinary or unusual in nature or
infrequent in occurrence or related to the disposal of a segment of
a business, (5) all items of gain, loss or expense for the
year related to discontinued operations that do not qualify as a
segment of a business as defined in the Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 144, (6) such other items as may
be prescribed by Section 162(m) of the Code and the Treasury
Regulations thereunder as may be in effect from time to time, and
any amendments, revisions or successor provisions and any changes
thereto, and (7) with respect to Incentive Awards not intended
to constitute qualified performance based compensation within the
meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code, such other items as the
Committee may deem appropriate.
(e) Subject to the express
provisions of the Plan, the Committee has the authority to
interpret the Plan, to determine the terms and provisions of the
Incentive Award agreements, and to make all other determinations
necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan. The
Committee has authority to prescribe, amend, and rescind rules and
regulations relating to the Plan. All interpretations,
determinations, and actions by the Committee will be final,
conclusive, and binding upon all parties. Any action of the
Committee with respect to the administration of the Plan shall be
taken pursuant to a majority vote or by the unanimous written
consent of its members.
(f) No member of the Board or the
Committee or designee thereof will be liable for any action,
determination or interpretation made in good faith by the Board or
the Committee with respect to the Plan or any transaction arising
under the Plan, and all members of the Board or the Committee and
each and any officer or employee of the Company or other designee
acting on their behalf shall, to the extent permitted by law, be
fully indemnified and protected by the Company in respect of any
such action, determination or interpretation.
(a) Such employees of the Company
and its subsidiaries as may be selected by the Committee in its
discretion are eligible to participate in the Plan. An individual
who has been granted or sold an Incentive Award may, if otherwise
eligible, be granted or sold additional Incentive Awards if the
Committee so determines.
(b) No person who owns (or is deemed
to own) immediately before the grant of such Incentive Stock
Option, directly or indirectly, stock possessing more than 10% of
the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the
Company will be eligible for the grant of an Incentive Stock
Option. This restriction does not apply if, at the time such
Incentive Stock Option is granted, the Incentive Stock Option
exercise price is at least 110% of the Fair Market Value on the
date of grant and the Incentive Stock Option by its terms is not
exercisable after the expiration of five (5) years from the
date of grant.
(c) In no event may any member of
the Board who is not an Employee be granted an Incen
