AMENDED AND RESTATED

1997 NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTOR STOCK OPTION PLAN

JANUARY 1, 2008

 

1.     Purpose of the Plan. Under this 1997 Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan (the “Director Plan”) of MagneTek, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), options shall be granted to eligible persons, as set forth in Section 4, to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock (“Common Stock”). This Director Plan is designed to promote the long-term growth and financial success of the Company by enabling it to attract, retain and motivate such persons by providing for or increasing their interest in the Company. This Plan replaces the Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan of the Company (the “1995 Plan”).

 

2.     Effective Dates. This Director Plan became effective on April 22, 1997. Options may not be granted subsequent to (a) September 30, 2010 or (b) termination of this Director Plan by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”), whichever is earlier. However, there will be a grant on September 30, 2010 if the Director Plan has not theretofore been terminated by the Board pursuant to the foregoing clause (b).

 

3.     Plan Operation. To the extent that any questions of interpretation arise hereunder, these shall be resolved by the Board.

 

4.     Eligible Persons. The persons eligible to receive a grant of non-qualified stock options hereunder are any Director of the Board who on the date of said grant is not an employee of the Company or a subsidiary of the Company (a “Qualifying Director”).

 

5.     Stock Subject to Director Plan. The maximum number of shares that may be subject to options granted hereunder shall be 1,150,000 shares of Common Stock, subject to adjustments under Section 6, of which 448,000 shares are being transferred from the 1995 Plan. Shares of Common Stock subject to the unexercised portions of any options granted under this Director Plan which expire, terminate or are forfeited or cancelled may again be subject to options under this Director Plan.

 

6.     Adjustments. In the event that the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company are hereafter changed into or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or other securities of the Company, or of another corporation, by reason of reorganization, merger, consolidation, recapitalization, reclassification, stock split-up, spin-off, stock dividend or combination of shares, appropriate adjustments shall be made in the number and kind of shares: (a) that may be subject to options granted under this Director Plan; (b) as to which options may thereafter be granted or issued under this Director Plan and (c) for which options then outstanding under this Director Plan may thereafter be exercised. Any such adjustments in outstanding options shall be made without changing the aggregate exercise price applicable to the unexercised portions of such options.

 

7.  Stock Options.

 

(a)   Upon initial election or appointment of any director to the Board or upon a continuing director becoming a Non-Officer Qualifying Director, such Non-Officer Qualifying Director will receive an option to purchase 7,500 shares of the Company’s Common Stock pursuant to the terms and conditions described in this Section 7.  In addition, Non-Officer Qualifying Directors will be automatically granted, on an annual basis, a non-qualified stock option to purchase 7,500 shares of the Company’s Common Stock on the last business day of the Company’s fiscal year ending after the initial grant of such Non-Officer Qualifying Director’s 7,500 share option pursuant to this Section 7.  Each option granted pursuant to this Section 7(a) will have a term of ten years and shall become exercisable as follows: options with respect to 50% of the shares one year after the date of grant and options with respect to the remaining 50% of the shares two years after the date of grant.

(b)  The Board may from time to time, in its absolute discretion, grant non-qualified stock options to Qualifying Directors. Each option granted pursuant to this Section 7(b) will have a term of ten years unless otherwise specified by the Board, and the Board shall, in its absolute discretion, determine the exercisability and other provisions of such option.

 

(c)  The per share exercise price of options granted under this Director Plan will be the fair market value of a share of the Company’s Common Stock on the date of grant (the “Fair Market Value”), defined as (i) the mean between the highest and lowest sales prices of a share of the Company’s stock on the principal exchange on which shares of the. Company’s stock are then trading, if any, on such determination date, or, if shares were not traded on such date, then on the next preceding trading day during which a sale occurred, as such prices are quoted in The Wall Street Journal; or (ii) if such stock is not traded on an exchange but is quoted on NASDAQ or a successor quotation system, (1) the mean between the highest and lowest sales prices (if the stock is then listed as a National Market Issue under the NASD National Market System) or (2) the mean between the closing representative bid and asked prices (in all other cases) for the stock on such determination date as reported by NASDAQ or such successor quotation system; or (iii) if such stock is not publicly traded on an exchange and not quoted on NASDAQ or a successor quotation system, the mean between the closing bid and asked pric
