WHEREAS, the Holder serves on the Board of Directors of the Company (the “ Board ”); and

WHEREAS, in connection with such service, the Company has previously granted the Holder an option to purchase 883 shares of Stock (as hereinafter defined), subject to the terms and conditions contained in that certain Stock Option Agreement, dated as of July 22, 2003 (the “ Date of Grant ”), between the Company and the Holder (the “ Prior Agreement ”); and

WHEREAS, prior to the date hereof, the Company has amended and restated its 2003 Stock Option Plan in its entirety to clarify certain provisions relating to the vesting of certain performance based options (as so amended and restated, the “ Option Plan ”); and

WHEREAS, the parties hereto desire to amend and restate the Prior Agreement in its entirety for purposes of aligning certain provisions relating to the vesting of certain performance based options with the terms contained in the Option Plan and otherwise to change certain provisions set forth in the Prior Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and of the mutual promises contained herein, the parties hereto hereby agree that the terms and conditions of the Options (as hereinafter defined) are as follows:

1. Definitions . Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the same meaning as ascribed to such terms in the Option Plan, a copy of which is attached hereto.

2. Grant of Option . Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, effective as of the Date of Grant, the Company hereby grants to the Holder (i) options to purchase 177 shares of Stock, at an exercise price equal to $1,000 per share, and subject to the vesting requirements set forth in Section 3(a) below (the “ Time Vested Options ”) and (ii) options to purchase 706 shares of Stock, at an exercise price equal to $1,000 per share, and subject to the vesting requirements set forth in Section 3(b) below (the “ Performance Vested Options ” and, together with the Time Vested Options, the “ Options ”). Subject to Section 4 below, the Options shall expire on the tenth (10 th ) anniversary of the Date of Grant (the “ Expiration Date ”).


3. Vesting . Options shall vest and become exercisable in such manner and on such date or dates set forth in subsections (a) and (b) below; provided , however , the Committee may in its sole discretion accelerate the vesting of any Option, which acceleration shall not affect the terms and conditions of any such Option other than with respect to vesting.

(a) Time Vested Options . Twenty percent (20%) of the Time Vested Options shall be fully vested and exercisable on the Date of Grant, and an additional twenty percent (20%) shall vest and become exercisable on each of the first, second, third and fourth anniversaries of the Date of Grant. All Time Vested Options shall become fully vested and exercisable upon a Change in Control.

(b) Performance Vested Options .

(i) Vesting Based on Annual Performance . For each fiscal year of the Company beginning with fiscal year 2004 and ending with fiscal year 2008, ten percent (10%) of the Performance Vested Options shall be eligible to become vested and exercisable, provided that the Company has achieved an Annual EBITDA equal to, or in excess of, the Annual EBITDA Target for such fiscal year. Such Performance Vested Options shall become vested and exercisable as of the date that the Committee verifies that such Annual EBITDA Target has been achieved. For each such fiscal year, the Committee shall verify whether the Annual EBITDA Target has been achieved, and shall notify the Company’s Chief Executive Officer of its determination with respect thereto, within ten (10) business days after the Committee receives the Company’s audited financial statements for that fiscal year. If the Company does not achieve the required Annual EBITDA Target for a fiscal year, but in the immediately following fiscal year, the Company has achieved a Cumulative EBITDA equal to, or in excess of, the Cumulative EBITDA Target for such immediately following fiscal year, in addition to any Performance Vested Options that vest and become exercisable in such immediately following fiscal year in accordance with the preceding sentence, the Performance Vested Options that were eligible for vesting in the immediately prior fiscal year shall also vest and become exercisable as of the date that the Committee verifies (in the manner specified above) that such Cumulative EBITDA Target has been achieved.

(ii) Cumulative Target . Provided that the Cumulative EBITDA for fiscal year 2008 is equal to, or in excess of, the Cumulative EBITDA Target for fiscal year 2008, fifty percent (50%) of the Performance Vested Options shall become vested and exercisable as of the date that the Committee verifies that the Cumulative EBITDA Target for fiscal year 2008 has been achieved. If the Cumulative EBITDA for fiscal year 2008 is in excess of ninety (90%) of the Cumulative EBITDA Target for fiscal year 2008 but less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Cumulative EBITDA Target for fiscal year 2008, for each whole percentage point between ninety percent (90%) and one hundred percent (100%), five (5%) of the Performance Vested Options shall become vested and exercisable as of the date that the Committee verifies that such percentage of the Cumulative EBITDA Target for fiscal year 2008 has been achieved. If the Cumulative EBITDA for fiscal year 2008 is less than ninety (90%) of the Cumulative EBITDA Target for such fiscal year, no Performance Vested Options shall vest and become exercisable based upon achievement of the Cumulative EBITDA Target for

fiscal year 2008. The Committee shall verify whether the Cumulative EBITDA Target for fiscal year 2008 has been achieved, and shall notify the Company’s Chief Executive Officer of its determination with respect thereto, within ten (10) business days after the Committee receives the Company’s audited financial statements for fiscal year 2008.

In the event of a Change in Control, (1) if the annualized net rate of return to the Company’s shareholders (excluding any Participants) immediately following the Effective Time from the Effective Time until the date of consummation of such Change in Control (the “ NRR ”), equals, or is in excess of, twenty five percent (25%), all Performance Vested Options shall vest and become exercisable on the Change in Control; (2) if the NRR is twenty percent (20%), an additional number of Performance Vested Options shall vest and become exercisable such that, in the aggregate, seventy five percent (75%) of the Performance Vested Options shall be vested and exercisable on the Change in Control, and (3) in addition to the number of Performance Vested Options that shall vest in accordance with clause (2) above, for each additional one percent (1%) of NRR in excess of twenty percent (20%) to and including 24.9%, an additional number of Performance Vested Options shall vest and become exercisable such that, in the aggregate, an additional five percent (5%) of the Performance Vested Options shall be vested and exercisable on the Change in Control. Any Performance Vested Options which have not vested prior to, or upon, a Change in Control, shall terminate. For purposes of determining NRR, securities of the Company purchased by the Company’s shareholders at the Effective Time shall be valued at the face amount of such securities at such time.
