Article 4
Plan Operation
4.1Effective Date
This Plan shall become effective if and when approved by the Company’s stockholders.
4.2Term
This Plan shall have a term of 10 years, expiring on the tenth anniversary of its approval by the Company’s stockholders (but remaining in effect, however, for outstanding Awards). No Award may be granted under the Plan after its expiration.
4.3Maximum Number of Shares
The maximum total number of shares of common stock for which Awards may be granted under this Plan is 1,375 shares. This maximum shall be subject to the capitalization adjustments underSection 4.6.
The shares for which Options and SARs are granted shall count against this limit on a 1-for-1 basis, and the shares for which Restricted Stock Awards and RSU Awards are granted shall count against this limit on a 2-for-1 basis (so that each share for which a Restricted Stock Award or RSU Award is granted reduces by two shares the available number of shares for which Awards may be granted).
The shares for which Awards may be granted shall be shares currently authorized but unissued or shares that the Company currently holds or subsequently acquires as treasury shares, including shares purchased in the open market or in private transactions.

4.4Shares Available for Awards
The determination of the number of shares of common stock available for Awards under the Plan shall take into account the following:
(a) If an Option lapses or expires unexercised, the number of shares in respect of which the Option lapsed or expired shall be added back to the available number of shares for which Awards may be granted.
(b) If a Restricted Stock Award or RSU Award lapses or is forfeited, twice the number of shares in respect of which the Award lapsed or was forfeited shall be added back to the available number of shares for which Awards may be granted.
(c) If a SAR Award or RSU Award is settled in cash, the number of shares in respect of which the Award was settled in cash shall not be added back to the available number of shares for which Awards may be granted.
(d) If the exercise price of an Option is paid by delivery of shares of common stock pursuant toSection 5.8, the number of shares issued upon exercise of the Option, without netting the shares delivered in payment of the exercise price, shall be taken into account in determining the available number of shares for which Awards may be granted.
4.5Individual Limit on Awards
In any calendar year, the maximum number of shares for which Awards may be granted to any Eligible Person shall not exceed 50,000 shares in the case of Options and SARS and 50,000 shares in the case of Restricted Stock and RSU Awards, in each case taking into account all similar types of grants and awards under other stock option and equity compensation plans of the Company. These maximums shall be subject to the capitalization adjustments underSection 4.6.
4.6Capitalization Adjustments
In the event of a change in the number of outstanding shares of common stock by reason of a stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization, reorganization or the like, the Committee shall, equitably adjust the following in order to prevent a dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be provided under the Plan: (i) the number of shares for which Awards may be granted under the Plan, (ii) the maximum number of shares for which Awards may be granted to any Eligible Person in a calendar year, (iii) the aggregate number of shares in respect of each outstanding Award and (iv) the exercise price of each outstanding Option and SAR. The Committee may also make any other equitable adjustments that the Committee considers appropriate.
Article 5

5.2Exercise Price
The Committee shall determine the exercise price of each Option and SAR. The exercise price per share may not be less than the Fair Market Value of a share of common stock as of the Grant Date of the Option or SAR.
Except for capitalization adjustments underSection 4.6 or as approved by the Company’s stockholders, the exercise price per share of any outstanding Option or SAR may not be reduced, and the Option or SAR may not be surrendered to the Company for cash or as consideration for the grant of a new Option or SAR with a lower exercise price per share.
5.3Vesting and Term
The Committee shall determine the time or times at which each Option and Stand-Alone SAR becomes vested. Vesting may be based on continuous service or on the attainment of Performance Goals or other conditions specified in the Award Agreement. A Tandem SAR shall vest if and to the extent that its related Option vests, and shall expire or be canceled when its related Option expires or is canceled. No Option or SAR may have an Expiration Date more than 10 years from its Grant Date.
Each Option and SAR held by an Employee shall become fully vested as of his or her Termination Date if the Employee’s termination of employment occurs by reason of his or her death. In addition, the Committee, in its discretion, may accelerate the vesting of an Option or SAR at any time.
5.4Termination of Employment
In the case of an Option or SAR held by an Employee whose employment terminates:
(a) if and to the extent that the Option or SAR is unvested as of the Employee’s Termination Date, the Option or SAR shall lapse on the Termination Date unless the Employee’s employment terminated by reason of his or her death, in which case the Option or SAR shall become fully vested as of the Employee’s Termination Date; and
(b) if and to the extent that the Option or SAR is (or becomes) vested as of the Employee’s Termination Date, the Option or SAR shall expire as specified in the underlying Award Agreement, or if no date is specified, (i) on the earlier of 30 days after the Employee’s Termination Date or the expiration date of the Option or SAR, or (ii) if the Employee’s employment terminated by reason of his or her death, on the earlier of the first anniversary of the Employee’s death or the expiration date of the Option or SAR.
The Committee may extend the expiration date of the Option or SAR to any date up to the last day of the term of the Option or SAR.
5.5Transferability
No Option or SAR may be transferred, assigned or pledged, whether by operation of law or otherwise, except (i) as provided in the underlying Award Agreement or as the Committee otherwise permits, or (ii) as provided by will or the applicable laws of intestacy or (iii) if:
(a) the transferee is a revocable trust that the employee established for estate planning reasons (in respect of which the employee is treated as the owner for federal income tax purposes); or
6
(b) the transferee is (i) the spouse of the employee or a child, step-child, grandchild, parent, sibling or child of a sibling of the employee (each an “eligible transferee”), (ii) a custodian for an eligible transferee under any Uniform Transfers to Minors Act or Uniform Gifts to Minors Act or (iii) a trust for the primary benefit of one or more eligible transferees.
Transfers described in the preceding clause (b) shall be subject to any restrictions and requirements that the Committee considers appropriate (for example, the transferee’s written agreement to be bound by the terms of the Plan and the underlying Award Agreement).
No Option or SAR shall be subject to execution, attachment or similar process.
5.6Additional ISO Rules
To the extent that the aggregate fair market value (determined in respect of each ISO on the basis of the Fair Market Value of a share of common stock on the ISO’s Grant Date) of the underlying shares of all ISOs that become exercisable by an individual for the first time in any calendar year exceeds $100,000, the Options shall be treated as NSOs. This limitation shall be applied by taking ISOs into account in the order in which they were granted.
In the case of an ISO granted to an Employee who at the time of grant owns stock possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company (or any Subsidiary), the exercise price per share may not be less than 110% of the Closing Price on the Grant Date and the ISO may not have an Expiration Date more than five years from the Grant Date.
The Award Agreement underlying an Option that the Committee designates as an ISO may contain any additional terms, beyond those of this Plan, that the Committee considers necessary or desirable to include to assure that the Option complies with the requirements of §422 of the Code.
5.7Manner of Exercise
A vested Option or SAR may be exercised in full or only partially (but in the case of a partial exercise, only in respect of a whole number of shares) by (i) written notice to the Committee or its designee stating the number of shares in respect of which the Option or SAR is being exercised and, in the case of an Option, (ii) full payment of the exercise price of those shares.
5.8Payment of Exercise Price
Payment of the exercise price of an Option shall be made by check or, if permitted by the Committee (either in the underlying Award Agreement or at the time of exercise), by: (i) delivery of shares of common stock having a Fair Market Value on the date of exercise equal to the exercise price; (ii) directing the Company to withhold, from the shares otherwise issuable upon exercise of the Option, shares having a Fair Market Value on the date of exercise equal to the exercise price; (iii) by an open-market broker-assisted sale pursuant to which the Company is promptly delivered the portion of the sales proceeds necessary to pay the exercise price; (iv) any combination of these methods of payment; or (v) any other method of payment that the Committee authorizes.
7
5.9Tandem SARs
A Tandem SAR shall entitle the Participant to elect to exercise either the SAR or the related Option as to all or any portion of the shares subject to the SAR and Option. The exercise of a Tandem SAR shall cause the immediate and automatic cancellation of its related Option with respect to the same number of shares, and the exercise, expiration or cancellation of the related Option (other than by reason of the exercise of the Tandem SAR) shall cause the automatic and immediate cancellation of the Tandem SAR with respect to the same number of shares.
5.10Settlement of SARs
Settlement of a SAR may be made, in the Committee’s discretion, in shares of common stock or in cash, or in a combination of the two, subject to applicable tax withholding requirements. Any cash payment in settlement of a SAR shall be made on the basis of the Fair Market Value of a share of common stock on the date that the SAR is exercised.
5.11Automatic Option Grants to Outside Directors
Each Outside Director shall be granted an NSO to purchase 40,000 shares of common stock upon his initial election to the Board and shall also be granted an NSO to purchase 10,000 shares of common stock at each subsequent annual meeting of stockholders at which he is re-elected a Director. Each such Option shall have a 10-year term, shall vest on the first anniversary of the Grant Date and may be exercised at any time after it becomes vested and prior to its expiration. The exercise price per share of each such Option shall be the Fair Market Value of a share of common stock on the Grant Date.
Option grants under thisSection 5.11 shall be automatic and non-exclusive. Subject to the approval of the full Board of Directors, Outside Directors may be granted NSOs for their services as members or chairmen of committees of the Board.
