All documents subsequently filed by the Registrant
pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the 1934
Act, prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment
which indicates that all securities offered hereby have
been sold or which deregisters all securities then
remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by
reference herein and to be a part hereof from the date of
the filing of such documents.
Any statement contained in a document incorporated or
deemed to be incorporated by reference herein shall be
deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes hereof to
the extent that a statement contained herein or in any
other subsequently filed document which also is or is
deemed to be incorporated by reference herein modifies or
supersedes such statement. Any statement so modified or
superseded shall not be deemed, except as so modified or

Item 4. Description of Securities
Not applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Not applicable
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the
State of Delaware permits indemnification of directors,
officers, employees and agents of corporations under
certain conditions and subject to certain limitations.
Section 14 of Article III of the Registrant's Bylaws
provides for indemnification of any director, officer,
employee or agent of the Registrant, or any person serving
in the same capacity in any other enterprise at the request
of the Registrant, under certain circumstances. Article 6
of the Registrant's Certificate of Incorporation eliminates
the liability of directors of the Registrant under certain
circumstances for breaches of fiduciary duty to the
Registrant and its stockholders, as permitted by Section
102(b)7 of the Delaware General Corporation Law.
The Registrant is insured against certain liabilities
which it may incur by reason of Section 14, Article III, of
its Bylaws. In addition, officers and directors are
insured, at the expense of the Registrant, against certain
liabilities which might arise out of their employment and
which might not be subject to indemnification under the
Bylaws.
Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.
Not applicable
Item 8. Exhibits
See Exhibit Index following Signature page in this
Registration Statement, which Exhibit Index is incorporated
herein by reference.
Item 9. Undertakings.
(a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which
offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment
to this Registration Statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by
section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or
events arising after the effective date
of the Registration Statement (or the
most recent post-effective amendment
thereof) which, individually or in the
aggregate, represent a fundamental change
in the information set forth in the
Registration Statement:
(iii) To include any material information with
respect to the plan of distribution not
previously disclosed in the registration
statement or any material change to such
information in the Registration
Statement;
Provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i)
and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the Registration Statement
is on Form S-3 or Form S-8, and the information required to
be included in a post-effective amendment by those
paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the
Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by
reference in the Registration Statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any
liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-
effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new
Registration Statement relating to the securities offered
therein, and the offering of such securities at that time
shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering
thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a
post-effective amendment any of the securities being
registered which remain unsold at the termination of the
offering.
(b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes
that, for purposes of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Registrant's
annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable,
each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report
pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934) that is incorporated by reference in the Registration
Statement shall be deemed to be a new Registration
Statement relating to the securities offered therein, and
the offering of such securities at that time shall be
deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(h) Reference is made to the indemnification
provisions referred to in Item 6 of the Registration
Statement.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities
arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted
to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or
otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the
opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in
the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event
that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities
(other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses
incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any
action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director,
officer or controlling person in connection with the
securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in
the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by
controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by
it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and
will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of
1933, the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable

for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this
registration statement to be signed on its behalf by the
undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of

ARTICLE II
STOCKHOLDERS
------------
SECTION 1. Annual Meeting. The annual meeting of the
stockholders shall be held on the first Monday in the month
of March in each year, beginning with the year 1984, at the
hour of 10:00 o'clock A.M., or at such other hour as may be
fixed by or under the authority of the Board of Directors,
for the purpose of electing directors and for the
transaction of such other business as may come before the
meeting. If the day fixed for the annual meeting shall be
a legal holiday in the state where the meeting is to be
held, such meeting shall be held on the next succeeding
business day. If the election of directors shall not be
held on the day designated herein for the annual meeting of
the stockholders, or at any adjournment thereof, the Board
of Directors shall cause the election to be held at a
special meeting of the stockholders as soon thereafter as
is convenient.
SECTION 2. Special Meeting. Special meetings of the
stockholders, for any purpose or purposes, unless otherwise
prescribed by statute, may be called by the Chief Executive
Officer or by the Board of Directors, and shall be called
by the Chief Executive Officer at the request of the
holders of not less than eighty percent of all the
outstanding shares of the corporation entitled to vote at
the meeting.
SECTION 3. Place of Meeting. The Board of Directors
may designate any place, either within or without the State
of Delaware, as the place of meeting for any annual meeting
or for any special meeting called by the Board of
Directors. If no designation is made, or if a special
meeting be otherwise called, the place of meeting shall be
the principal business office of the corporation in the
State of Wisconsin.
SECTION 4. Notice of Meeting. Written notice stating
the place, day and hour of the meeting and, in the case of
a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the
meeting is called, shall be delivered not less than ten
days nor more than sixty days before the date of the
meeting, either personally or by mail, by or at the
direction of the Chief Executive Officer, or the Secretary,
or the officer or persons calling the meeting, to each
stockholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting. If
mailed, such notice shall be deemed to be given when
deposited in the United States mail, addressed to the
stockholder at the stockholder's address as it appears on
the records of the corporation, with postage thereon
prepaid.
SECTION 5. Fixing of Record Date. For the purpose of
determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote
at any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof,
or entitled to receive payment of any dividend, or in order
to make a determination of stockholders for any other
proper purpose, the Board of Directors of the corporation
may fix in advance a date as the record date for any such
determination of stockholders, such date in any case to be
not more than sixty days and, in case of a meeting of
stockholders, not less than ten days prior to the date on
which the particular action, requiring such determination
of stockholders, is to be taken. If no record date is
fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to
notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders, or
stockholders entitled to receive payment of a dividend, the
close of business on the date next preceding the date on
which notice of the meeting is mailed or the date on which
the resolution of the Board of Directors declaring such
dividend is adopted, as the case may be, shall be the
record date for such determination of stockholders. When a
determination of stockholders entitled to vote at any
meeting of stockholders has been made as provided in this
section, such determination shall apply to any adjournment
thereof; provided, however, that the Board of Directors may
fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting.
SECTION 6. Voting Lists. The officer or agent having
charge of the stock ledger of the corporation shall make,
at least ten days before each meeting of stockholders, a
complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at such
meeting, or any adjournment thereof, arranged in
alphabetical order, with the address of and the number of
shares held by each; which list, for a period of ten days
prior to such meeting, shall be kept at the place where the
meeting is to be held, or at another place within the city
where the meeting is to be held, which other place shall be
specified in the notice of meeting and the list shall be
subject to inspection by any stockholder for any purpose
germane to the meeting, at any time during usual business
hours. Such list shall also be produced and kept open at
the time and place of the meeting and shall be subject to
the inspection of any stockholder during the whole time of
the meeting. The original stock ledger shall be prima
facie evidence as to who are the stockholders entitled to
examine such list or ledger or to vote at any meeting of
stockholders. Failure to comply with the requirements of
this section will not affect the validity of any action
taken at such meeting.
SECTION 7. Quorum. A majority of the shares entitled
to vote, represented in person or by proxy, shall
constitute a quorum at a meeting of stockholders. If a
quorum is present, the affirmative vote of a majority of
the shares represented at the meeting and entitled to vote
on the subject matter shall be the act of the stockholders,
unless the vote of a greater number or voting by classes is
required by Delaware law, the Articles of Incorporation, or
these Bylaws. If less than a majority of the outstanding
shares are represented at a meeting, a majority of the
shares so represented may adjourn the meeting from time to
time without further notice. At such adjourned meeting at
which a quorum shall be present or represented, any
business may be transacted which might have been transacted
at the meeting as originally called.
SECTION 8. Proxies. At all meetings of stockholders,
a stockholder may vote by proxy executed in writing by the
stockholder or by the stockholder's duly authorized
attorney in fact. Such proxy shall be filed with the
Secretary of the corporation before or at the time of the
meeting. No proxy shall be valid after three years from
the date of its execution, unless otherwise provided in the
proxy.
SECTION 9. Voting of Shares. Each outstanding
share, regardless of class, shall be entitled to one vote
on each matter submitted to a vote at a meeting of
stockholders, except to the extent that the voting rights
of any class or classes are enlarged, limited or denied by
the Articles of Incorporation or in the manner therein
provided.
SECTION 10. Voting of Shares by Certain Holders.
Neither treasury shares nor shares of the corporation held
by another corporation, if a majority of the shares
entitled to vote in the election of directors of such other
corporation is held, directly or indirectly, by the
corporation, shall be entitled to vote or to be counted for
quorum purposes. Nothing in this paragraph shall be
construed as limiting the right of the corporation to vote
its own stock held by it in a fiduciary capacity.
Shares standing in the name of another corporation,
domestic or foreign, may be voted in the name of such
corporation by its President or such other officer as the
President may appoint or pursuant to any proxy executed in
the name of such corporation by its President or such other
officer as the President may appoint in the absence of
express written notice filed with the Secretary that such
President or other officer has no authority to vote such
shares.
Shares held by an administrator, executor, guardian,
conservator, trustee in bankruptcy, receiver or assignee
for creditors may be voted by such administrator, executor,
guardian, conservator, trustee in bankruptcy, receiver or
assignee for creditors, either in person or by proxy,
without a transfer of such shares into the name of such
administrator, executor, guardian, conservator, trustee in
bankruptcy, receiver or assignee for creditors. Shares
standing in the name of a fiduciary may be voted by such
fiduciary, either in person or by proxy.
A stockholder whose shares are pledged shall be
entitled to vote such shares unless in the transfer by the
pledgor on the books of the corporation the pledgor has
expressly empowered the pledgee to vote thereon, in which
case only the pledgee, or the pledgee's proxy, may
represent such stock and vote thereon.
SECTION 11. Stockholder Proposals. No proposal for
a stockholder vote shall be submitted by a stockholder (a
"Stockholder Proposal") to the corporation's stockholders
unless the stockholder submitting such proposal (the
"Proponent") shall have filed a written notice setting
forth with particularity (i) the names and business
addresses of the Proponent and all Persons acting in
concert with the Proponent (ii) the name and address of the
Proponent and the Persons identified in clause (i), as they
appear on the corporation's books (if they so appear),
(iii) the class and number of shares of the corporation
beneficially owned by the Proponent and the Persons
identified in clause (i); (iv) a description of the
Stockholder Proposal containing all material information
relating thereto; and (v) such other information as the
Board of Directors reasonably determines is necessary or
appropriate to enable the Board of Directors and
stockholders of the corporation to consider the Stockholder
Proposal. As used in this Section, the term "Person" means
any individual, partnership, firm, corporation,
association, trust, unincorporated organization or other
entity.
The presiding officer at any stockholders' meeting may
determine that any Stockholder Proposal was not made in
accordance with the procedures prescribed in these Bylaws
or is otherwise not in accordance with law, and if it is so
determined, such officer shall so declare at the meeting
and the Stockholder Proposal shall be disregarded.
Stockholder Proposals shall be delivered to the
Secretary at the principal executive office of the
corporation not less than ninety (90) days before the date
of the stockholders' meeting if such Stockholder Proposal
is to be submitted at an annual stockholders' meeting
(provided, however, that if such annual meeting is called
to be held before the date specified in Section 1 hereof,
such Stockholder Proposal shall be delivered no later than
the close of business on the 15th day following the day on
which notice of the date of the annual stockholders'
meeting was given). Stockholder Proposals shall be so
delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive
office of the corporation no later than the close of
business on the 15th day following the day on which notice
of the date of a special meeting of stockholders was given
if the Stockholder Proposal is to be submitted at a special
stockholders' meeting.
ARTICLE III

------------------
SECTION 1. General Powers. The business and affairs

Directors.
SECTION 2. Number. Tenure and Qualifications. The

Two of the three classes of Directors established by the
corporation's Certificate of Incorporation shall consist of
four members each and one class shall consist of five
members, subject to modification by resolution of the Board
of Directors. Each director shall hold office for the term
provided in the Certificate of Incorporation and until such
director's successor shall have been elected and qualified,
or until such director's earlier death or resignation. No
director shall be or be deemed to be removed from office

by virtue of a reduction in the number of directors.
Directors need not be residents of the State of Delaware or

Board of Directors shall be held without other notice than
this Bylaw immediately after, and at the same place as, the

SECTION 4. Special Meetings. Special meetings of the

addressed, with postage thereon prepaid. If notice be
given by telegram, such notice shall be deemed to be given

Any director may waive notice of any meeting. The
attendance of a director at a meeting shall constitute a
waiver of notice of such meeting, except where a director
attends a meeting and objects thereat to the transaction of
any business because of the meeting is not lawfully called
or convened. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor
the purpose of, any regular or special meeting of the Board
of Directors need be specified in the notice or waiver of

SECTION 6. Quorum. A majority of the number of
directors fixed by Section 2 of this Article III shall

(b) a representation that the stockholder is a holder of
record of stock of the corporation entitled to vote at such

Any vacancy occurring in the Board of Directors,
including a vacancy created by an increase in the number of
directors, may be filled for the remainder of the unexpired
term by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors
then in office although less than a quorum.
SECTION 9. Action by Directors Without a Meeting.
Any action required to be taken at a meeting of directors,
or at a meeting of a committee of directors, or any other
action which may be taken at a meeting, may be taken
without a meeting if a consent in writing setting forth the
action so taken shall be signed by all of the directors or
members of the committee thereof entitled to vote with
respect to the subject matter thereof and such consent
shall have the same force and effect as a unanimous vote.
SECTION 10. Participation in a Meeting by Telephone.
Members of the Board of Directors or any committee of
directors may participate in a meeting of such Board or
committee by means of conference telephone or similar
communication equipment by means of which all persons
participating in the meeting can hear each other, and
participating in a meeting pursuant to this section 10
shall constitute presence in person at such meeting.
SECTION 11. Compensation. The Board of Directors, by
majority vote of the directors then in office and
irrespective of any personal interest of any of its
members, shall have authority to establish reasonable
compensation of all directors for services to the
corporation as directors, officers or otherwise, or to
delegate such authority to an appropriate committee. The
Board of Directors also shall have authority to provide for
reasonable pensions, disability or death benefits, and
other benefits or payments, to directors, officers and
employees and to their estates, families, dependents and
beneficiaries on account of prior services rendered by such
directors, officers and employees to the corporation. The
Board of Directors may be paid their expenses, if any, of

SECTION 12. Presumption of Assent. A director of the
corporation who is present at a meeting of the Board of
Directors at which action on any corporate matter is taken
shall be presumed to have assented to the action taken
unless such director's dissent is entered in the minutes of
the meeting or unless such director files a written dissent
to such action with the person acting as the Secretary of
the meeting before the adjournment thereof or forwards such
dissent by registered mail to the Secretary of the
corporation immediately after the adjournment of the
meeting. Such right to dissent shall not apply to a
director who voted in favor of such action.
SECTION 13. Validity of Contracts. No contract or
other transaction entered into by the corporation shall be
affected by the fact that a director or officer of the
corporation is in any way interested in or connected with
any party to such contract or transaction, or is a party to
such contract or transaction, even though in the case of a
director the vote of the director having such interest or
connection shall have been necessary to obligate the
corporation upon such contract or transaction; provided,
however, that in any such case (i) the material facts of
such interest are known or disclosed to the directors or
stockholders and the contract or transaction is authorized
or approved in good faith by the stockholders or by the
Board of Directors or a committee thereof through the
affirmative vote of a majority of the disinterested
directors (even though not a quorum), or (ii) the contract
or transaction is fair to the corporation as of the time it
is authorized, approved or ratified by the stockholders, or
by the Board of Directors, or by a committee thereof.
SECTION 14. Indemnification and Insurance. Each
person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be
made a party to or is involved in any action, suit,
arbitration, mediation or proceeding, whether civil,
criminal, administrative or investigative, whether domestic
or foreign (hereinafter a "proceeding"), by reason of the
fact that he or she, or a person of whom he or she is the
legal representative, is or was a director or officer of
the corporation or is or was serving at the request of the
corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of
another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture,
trust or other enterprise, including service with respect
to employee benefit plans, whether the basis of such
proceeding is alleged action or inaction in an official
capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent or in
any other capacity while serving as a director, officer,
employee or agent, shall be indemnified and held harmless
by the corporation to the fullest extent not prohibited by
the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as
the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the
case of any such amendment, with respect to alleged action
or inaction occurring prior to such amendment, only to the
extent that such amendment permits the corporation to
provide broader indemnification rights than said law
permitted the corporation to provide prior to such
amendment), against all expense, liability and loss
(including without limitation attorneys' fees and expenses,
judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and
amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) reasonably
incurred or suffered by such person in connection
therewith. Such indemnification as to such alleged action
or inaction shall continue as to a person who has ceased
after such alleged action or inaction to be a director,
officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit
of his or her heirs, executors and administrators;
provided, however, that, except as provided in the
following paragraph, the corporation shall indemnify any
such person seeking indemnification in connection with a
proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person only
if such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the
Board unless such proceeding (or part thereof) is a counter
claim, cross-claim, third party claim or appeal brought by
such person in any proceeding. The right to
indemnification conferred in this Section shall be a
contract right and shall include the right to be paid by
the corporation the expenses incurred in defending any such
proceeding in advance of its final disposition; provided,
however, that, if the General Corporation law of the State
of Delaware requires, the payment of such expenses incurred
by a director or officer in his or her capacity as a
director or officer (and not in any other capacity in which
service was or is rendered by such person while a director
or officer, including, without limitation, service to an
employee benefit plan) in advance of the final disposition
of a proceeding, shall be made only upon delivery to the
corporation of an undertaking, by or on behalf of such
director or officer, to repay all amounts so advanced if it
shall ultimately be determined by final judicial decision
from which there is no further appeal that such director or
officer is not entitled to be indemnified for such expenses
under this Section or otherwise. The corporation may, by
action of the Board, provide indemnification to an employee
or agent of the corporation or to a director, trustee,
officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise of
which the corporation owns fifty percent or more with the
same scope and effect as the foregoing indemnification of
directors and officers or such lesser scope and effect as
shall be determined by action of the Board.
If a claim under the preceding paragraph is not paid
in full by the corporation within thirty days after a
written claim has been received by the corporation, the
claimant may at any time thereafter bring suit against the
corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim and,
if successful in whole or in part in any such claim or
suit, or in a claim or suit brought by the corporation to
recover an advancement of expenses under this paragraph,
the claimant shall be entitled to be paid also the expense
of prosecuting or defending any such claim or suit. It
shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action
brought to enforce a claim for expenses incurred in
defending any proceeding in advance of its final
disposition where the required undertaking, if any is
required, has been tendered to the corporation) that the
claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct
which make it permissible under the General Corporation Law
of the State of Delaware for the corporation to indemnify
the claimant for the amount claimed, but the burden of
proving such defense shall be on the corporation. Neither
the failure of the corporation (including its Board of
Directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders)
to have made a determination prior to the commencement of
such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper
in the circumstances because he or she has met the
applicable standard of conduct set forth in the General
Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, nor an actual
determination by the corporation (including its Board of
Directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders)
that the claimant has not met such applicable standard of
conduct set forth in the General Corporation Law of the
State of Delaware, shall be a defense to the action or
create a presumption that the claimant has not met the
applicable standard of conduct. In any suit brought by
such person to enforce a right to indemnification or to an
advancement of expenses hereunder, or by the corporation to
recover an advancement of expenses hereunder, the burden of
proving that such person is not entitled to be indemnified,
or to have or retain such advancement of expenses, shall be
on the corporation.
The right to indemnification and the payment of
expenses incurred in defending a proceeding in advance of
its final disposition conferred in this Section shall not
be exclusive of any other right which any person may have
or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the
Certificate of Incorporation, By-law, agreement, vote of
stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.
The corporation may maintain insurance, at its
expense, to protect itself and any director, officer,
employee or agent of the corporation or another
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other
enterprise against any such expense, liability or loss,
whether or not the corporation would have the power to
indemnify such person against such expense, liability or
loss under the General Corporation Law of the State of
Delaware.
In the event that any of the provisions of this
Section 14 (including any provision within a single
section, paragraph or sentence) is held by a court of
competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or otherwise
unenforceable, the remaining provisions are severable and
shall remain enforceable to the full extent permitted by
law.
SECTION 15. Committees of Directors. The Board of
Directors may, by resolution passed by a majority of the
whole Board, designate one or more committees, each
committee to consist of one or more of the directors of the
corporation. The Board may designate one or more directors
as alternate committee members, who may replace any absent
or disqualified member at any committee meeting. In the
absence or disqualification of a committee member, the
member or members present at any meeting and not
disqualified from voting, whether such member or members
constitute a quorum, may unanimously appoint another
director to act at the meeting in place of the absent or
disqualified member. Any such committee shall have and may
exercise all the powers and authority of the Board of
Directors in the management of the business and affairs of
the corporation, and may authorize the seal of the
corporation to be affixed to all papers which may require
it; but no such committee shall have the power or authority
in reference to amending the Certificate of Incorporation
(except that a committee may, to the extent authorized in
the resolution(s) providing for the issuance of shares of
stock adopted by the Board, fix any of the preferences or
rights of such shares relating to dividends, redemption,
dissolution, any distribution of assets of the corporation
or the conversion into, or the exchange of such shares for,
shares of any other class or classes or any other series of
the same or any other class or classes of stock of the
corporation), adopting an agreement of merger or
consolidation, recommending to the stockholders the sale,
lease or exchange of all or substantially all of the
corporation's property and assets, recommending to the
stockholders a dissolution of the corporation or a
revocation of a dissolution, or amending the Bylaws of the
corporation; and, unless the resolution expressly so
provides, no such committee shall have the power or
authority to declare a dividend or to authorize the
issuance of stock, or to adopt a certificate of ownership
and merger.

with ISOs or NQSOs, as further described below;
(iv) to make all determinations necessary or
desirable for the administration of the Plan
including, within any applicable limits
specifically set out in the Plan, the number of
shares of Common Stock that may be purchased
under an Option, the price at which an Option
may be exercisable, and the period during which
an Optionee must remain in the employ of the
Company or a subsidiary of the Company prior to
the exercise of an Option; (v) to correct any
defect, supply any omission or reconcile any
inconsistency in the Plan or in any Option or
SAR granted under the Plan, in a manner that
the Committee deems necessary or desirable;
(vi) to amend any Option or SAR granted under
the Plan, subject to the provisions of the
Plan, and (vii) to grant to Optionees in
exchange for their surrender of Options or
SARs, new Options or SARs containing such other
terms and conditions as the Committee, in its
discretion and subject to the provisions of the
Plan, shall deem necessary or desirable. Any
determination made by the Committee in
connection with its administration of the Plan
shall be conclusive and binding upon all
Optionees. Nothing in this Section 4(b) shall
give the Committee the power to increase the
total number of shares of Common stock that may
be purchased on exercise of Options (except as
provided in Section 14 below) or to take any
other action inconsistent with the limitations
described in Section 3(a) and 3(b) above, or
extend the period during which an ISO is
exercisable beyond ten years (or five years in
the case of a Ten Percent Shareholder) from the
date of grant thereof.
(c) Liability/Protection. No member of the
Committee shall be liable, in the absence of
bad faith, for any act or omission with respect
to serving as a member of the Committee.
Service as a member of the Committee shall
constitute service as a member of the Board of
Directors so that members of the Committee
shall be entitled to indemnification for their
service on the Committee to the full extent
provided for service as members of the Board of
Directors.
5. Eligibility. The Committee shall determine the Key
Employees, other employees and Directors and Officers
of the Company and its subsidiaries and other
individuals to whom Options and SARs shall be granted
and, subject to Sections 3(a) and 3)b) above, and
Sections 6(d) and 14 below, the number of shares of
Common Stock that may be purchased under each Option.
6. Option Grants.
(a) Option Agreement. Each Option granted under
the Plan shall be evidenced by a stock option
agreement (the "Option Agreement"). The Option
Agreement shall be subject to the terms and
conditions of the Plan and may contain
additional terms and conditions (which may vary
from Optionee to Optionee) not inconsistent
with Plan, as the Committee may deem necessary
or desirable. The Committee may, at any time,
amend an Option Agreement, subject to the
provisions of the Plan. Appropriate officers
of the Company are hereby authorized to execute
and deliver Option Agreements, and amendments
thereto, in the name of the Company.
(b) Option Price. The Option Price of each share
of Common Stock purchasable under an Option
granted under the Plan shall be determined by
the Committee at the time the Option is granted
and shall be specified in the Option Agreement.
The Option Price shall not be less than (i) in
the case of a grant of an ISO to a Key Employee
who, at the time of the grant, is not a Ten
Percent Shareholder (as defined below), 100
percent of the fair market value of a share of
Common Stock as determined on the date the
Option is granted, (ii) in the case of a grant
of an ISO to a Key Employee who, at the time of
grant, owns stock representing more than ten
percent of the total combined voting power of
all classes of stock of the Company or of any
subsidiary (a "Ten Percent Stockholder"), 110
percent of the fair market value of a share of
Common Stock as determined on the date the
Option is granted, or (iii) in the case of a
Nonqualified Stock Option, the price determined
by the Committee. The fair market value of a
share of Common Stock for purposes of
determining the Option Price shall be
determined by the Committee in accordance with
any reasonable method of valuation consistent
with applicable requirements of Federal tax
law, including, as applicable, the provisions
of Section 422(c)(7) of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended. The Option Price
shall be subject to adjustment in accordance
with Section 14 hereof.
(c) Number of Shares of Common Stock. Each Option
Agreement shall specify the number of shares of
Common Stock which the Optionee may purchase.
The Committee shall have the authority to allow
a form of payment other than cash.
(d) Option Term. The Committee shall have the
authority to determine in its discretion the
length of the option term. Notwithstanding the
preceding sentence, the option term shall not
be longer than ten (10) years from the date of
grant.
7. Exercise of Options.
General Rules. Subject to applicable law and
other terms and conditions of the Plan,
including the limitations and restrictions set
forth in Section 6 above, and Section 8 below,
an Option granted under the Plan shall be
exercisable at such time, or times, upon the
occurrence of such event or events for such
period or periods, in such amount or amounts,
and upon the satisfaction of such terms and
conditions including, without limitation, terms
and conditions relating to notice of exercise,
the date the Option is deemed exercised,
delivery and transferability of shares and
withholding of taxes, as the Committee shall
determine and specify in the Option Agreement.
The aggregate fair market value (determined at
the time the option is granted) of the Common
Stock with respect to which an ISO or ISOs
granted to any Key Employee is/are to become
exercisable for the first time during any
calendar year (under the Plan and any other
plan of the Company and its subsidiary
corporations) shall not exceed One Hundred
Thousand Dollars ($100,000). The application
of the limitation set forth in the preceding
sentence to any individual Option shall be
determined by the Committee subject to
applicable rules and regulation under Section
422 of the Code. However, no option granted
hereunder may provide for exercise in the form
of stock or other securities of the Company
unless the plan meets the requirements of Rule
16(b)(3) of the 1934 Act (17 CFR 240.16b-3).
8. Expiration of Options. The unexercised portion of
any Option granted under the Plan shall automatically
and without notice expire and become null and void at
the time of the earliest to occur of the following:
(a) the expiration of ten years from the date on
which the Option is granted or such shorter
term as may be specified in the Option
Agreement; or
(b) the expiration of the period specified in the
Option Agreement following the termination of
the Optionee's employment with the Company.
Anything to the contrary notwithstanding, in
the case of an ISO, such Option shall by its
terms not be exercisable after the expiration
of ten years (or, in the case of a Ten Percent
Stockholder, five years) from the date such
Option is granted.
9. Terms and Conditions of SARs.
(a) General. The Committee may, in its sole
discretion, grant an SAR to a Key Employee,
other employee or Director (the "Option
Holder") in tandem with an Option granted under
the Plan. An SAR shall entitle the Option
Holder to receive for each share of Common
Stock ("Share") as to which the SAR is
exercisable, an amount in cash equal to the
excess of the fair market value of such Share
over the exercise price per share of the tandem
Option. The SAR shall be subject to such
additional terms and conditions as the
Committee shall determine, which terms and
conditions shall be set forth in the Option
Agreement.
(b) Exercise. Exercise of an SAR shall reduce the
number of shares of Common Stock subject to the
tandem Option on a share-for-share basis, and
the exercise of an Option shall reduce the
number of shares subject to the tandem SAR on a
share-for-share basis as well.
(c) Payment. An Option Holder is entitled to
payment upon exercise of an SAR only if, and to
the extent that, the Option Holder exercises
such SAR during the period beginning on the
third business day following the date of
release for publication of the Company's
quarterly or annual statements of sales and
earnings and ending the twelfth business day
following such date.
10. Non-Transferability of Options and SARs. No Option
or SAR granted under the Plan shall be transferable
by an Optionee other than by will or the laws of
descent or distribution. During the lifetime of an
Optionee, an Option or SAR shall be exercisable only
by the Optionee. Any attempt to transfer, assign,
pledge, hypothecate, or otherwise dispose of, or to
subject to execution, attachment or similar process,
any Option or SAR other than as permitted above shall
be null and void and of no effect, and shall result
in the forfeiture of all rights as to such option or
SAR.
11. Optionee to Have No Rights as Stockholder. Until an
Optionee has made payment of the Option Price, has
paid or has had satisfied any applicable withholding
taxes, and has had issued to him a certificate or
certificates for the shares of Common Stock so
acquired, the Optionee shall have no rights as a
stockholder of the Company with respect to the Common
Stock.
12. Limitation on Issue of Transfer of Shares.
Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan or the
terms of any Option or SAR granted pursuant to the
Plan, the Company shall not be required to issue any
shares of Common Stock if such issue or transfer
would, in the judgment of the Committee, constitute a
violation of any state or federal law or the rules or
regulations of any governmental regulatory body or
any securities exchange.
13. No Right to Continued Employment. Neither an Option
nor an SAR granted under the Plan shall confer upon
an Optionee any right to continued employment with
the Company or its subsidiaries, nor shall it
interfere in any way with the right of the Company or
its subsidiaries to terminate an Optionee's
employment at any time.
14. Adjustments for Change in Capital Structure and
Special Transactions.
(a) Recapitalization, etc. In the event of a stock
dividend, stock split or recapitalization or a
corporate reorganization in which the Company
is a surviving corporation, including without
limitation a merger, consolidation, split-up or
spin-off or a liquidation or distribution of
securities or assets (other than cash
dividends), the number or kinds of shares
subject to the Plan or to any Option or SAR
previously granted and the Option Price may be
adjusted by the Committee as it determines in
its reasonable discretion. Any fractional
share resulting from such adjustment may be
eliminated at the discretion of the Committee.
(b) Special Transactions. In the event of a
merger, consolidation or other form of
reorganization of the Company with or into
another corporation (other than a merger,
consolidation or other form of reorganization
in which the Company is the surviving
corporation), a sale or transfer of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Company
or a tender or exchange offer made by any
corporation, person or entity (other than an
offer made by the Company), the Committee,
either before or after the merger,
consolidation or other form of reorganization,
may take such action as it determines in its
reasonable discretion with respect to the
number or kinds of shares subject to the Plan,
any Option or SAR granted under the Plan. Such
action by the Committee may include (but shall
not be limited to) the following:
(i) accelerating the full exercisability of
an Option or SAR during such period as
the Committee shall prescribe following
the public announcement of such merger,
consolidation, other form or
reorganization, sale or transfer of
assets or tender or exchange offer;
(ii) permitting an Optionee at any time during
such period as the Committee shall
prescribe in connection with such merger,
consolidation, other form or
reorganization, sale or transfer of
assets or tender or exchange offer to
surrender his Option or SAR, or both (or
any portion thereof), to the Company in
exchange for a cash payment in an amount
and in a manner determined by the
Committee; or
(iii) requiring an Optionee, at any time in
connection with such merger,
consolidation, other form of
reorganization, sale or transfer of
assets or tender or exchange offer, to
surrender his Option or SAR (or any
portion thereof) to the Company (A) in
exchange for a cash payment as described
in clause (ii) above, or (B) in exchange
for, and subject to shareholder approval
of, a substitute option or a substitute
SAR issued by the corporation surviving
such merger, consolidation or other form
of reorganization (or an affiliate of
such corporation), or the corporation
acquiring such assets (or an affiliate of
such corporation), which the Committee,
in its sole discretion, determines to
have a value substantially equivalent to
the value of the Option or SAR
surrendered.
15. Withholding. Whenever under this Plan any payments
are to be made in cash, such payments may be made net
on any amount sufficient to satisfy federal, state
and local withholding tax requirements.
16. Application of Proceeds. The proceeds received by
the Company from the issuance of shares of Common
Stock under the plan shall be used for general
corporate purposes.
17. Amendment, Suspension or Termination of the Plan.
The Board of Directors may, at any time, amend,
suspend or terminate any and all parts of the Plan in
addition to any Option or SAR granted under the Plan
in such respects as the Board of Directors shall deem
necessary or desirable, except that no such action
may be taken which would impair the rights of any
Optionee with respect to any Option or SAR previously
granted under the Plan without the Optionee's
consent.
18. Governing Law. The Plan shall be governed by the
laws of the State of New York without regard to the
principles of conflict of laws. In case any one or
more of the provisions contained herein are for any
reason deemed to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable
in any respect by a judicial body such illegality,
invalidity or unenforceability shall not effect any
other provision of this Plan. This Plan shall be
construed as if such invalid, unenforceable or
illegal provision had never been contained herein.
19. References. In the event of the death of an
Optionee, an Option Holder or a holder of an SAR, or
a judicial determination of his/her physical or
mental incompetence, reference in the Plan to the
Optionee or Option Holder or the holder of an SAR
shall be deemed, where appropriate, to refer to
his/her beneficiary or his/her legal representative.
