as the Committee in its sole discretion may in good faith determine to be
appropriate in order to reflect any transaction or event described in this
Section. Any adjustment pursuant to this Section will be conclusive and binding

exercisable at such times and be subject to such restrictions and conditions as
the Committee shall in each instance approve, which need not be the same for
each grant or for each Participant.
6.6 Payment. Options shall be exercised by the delivery of a written
notice of exercise to the Secretary of Company, setting forth the number of
Shares with respect to which the Option is to be exercised, accompanied by full
payment for the Shares.
The Option Price upon exercise of any Option shall be payable to
Company in full either: (a) in cash or its equivalent, or (b) by tendering
previously acquired Shares having a Fair Market Value at the time of exercise
equal to the total Option Price (provided that the Shares which are tendered
must have been held by the Participant for at least six (6) months prior to
their tender to satisfy the Option Price), or (c) by a combination of (a) and
(b).
The Committee also may allow cashless exercise as permitted under

restrictions, or by any other means which the Committee determines to be
consistent with the Plan's purpose and applicable law. The proceeds from such a
payment shall be added to the general funds of Company and shall be used for
general corporate purposes.
As soon as practicable after receipt of a written notification of
exercise and full payment, Company shall deliver to the Participant, in the
Participant's name, Share certificates in an appropriate amount based upon the
number of Shares purchased under the Option(s).

Participant is terminated by reason of death, any outstanding Options
granted to that Participant which are deemed vested as of the date of
death shall remain exercisable at any time prior to their expiration
date, or for one (1) year after the date that employment was
terminated, whichever period is shorter, by such person or persons as

persons that have acquired the Participant's rights under the Option by
will or by the laws of descent and distribution.

determined according to the following guidelines:
(i) The portion of the Option which is exercisable as
of the date of employment termination shall remain
exercisable;
(ii) The percentage vesting of the portion of an
Option which otherwise would have vested on the anniversary of
the date of grant next following the Participant's death (the
"Next Vesting Date"), shall equal a fraction, the numerator of
which is the number of full weeks of such Participant's
employment during the 12-month period ending on the Next
Vesting Date, and the denominator of which is fifty-two (52);
and
(iii) Any portion of an Option which is not deemed
vested as of the date of employment termination, including the
portion of an Option that is not deemed vested prior to the
Next Vesting Date (determined in accordance with Subparagraph
(ii) above), and the portion of an Option which would have
vested after the Next Vesting Date, shall expire immediately
and may not be exercised following such time. The Shares
subject to such expired Option shall be forfeited by the

due to Disability shall expire immediately and may not be exercised
following such date.

periods and vesting rules described in Subparagraphs (a), (b), and (c)
above shall apply in the absence of any contrary provisions in the
Option Agreement or Notification Form. The Committee may prescribe
alternative vesting rules and exercise periods in an Option Agreement
or Notification Form or may accelerate vesting upon Death, Disability
or Retirement, at its discretion.
Notwithstanding the exercise periods described in Subparagraphs (a),
(b), and (c) above, the Committee shall have the authority, in its sole
discretion, to accelerate the vesting of Options which are outstanding as of the
date of employment termination for one of the reasons described in this Section
6.8.
6.9 Termination of Employment for Other Reasons. If the employment of a
Participant shall terminate for any reason (other than the reasons set forth in
Section 6.8 or for Cause), all Options held by the Participant which are not
vested as of the effective date of employment termination immediately shall be
forfeited to the Company (and shall once again become available for grant under
the Plan). However, the Committee, in its sole discretion, shall have the right
to immediately vest all or any portion of such Options, subject to such terms as
the Committee, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate.
Except as otherwise provided in an applicable Option Agreement or
Notification Form, options which are vested as of the effective date of
employment termination may be exercised by the Participant within the period
beginning on the effective date of employment termination and ending three (3)
months after such date.
If the employment of a Participant shall terminate for Cause, all
outstanding Options held by the Participant immediately shall be forfeited to
Company and no additional exercise period shall be allowed, regardless of the
vested status of the Options.

restrictions on transferability and forfeitability as the Shares of Restricted
Stock with respect to which they were paid.

reason, except as otherwise stated in the Restricted Stock Agreement or

initial value that is established by the Committee at the time of grant. The
Committee shall set performance goals in its discretion which, depending on the
extent to which they are met, will determine the number and/or value of
Performance Units that will be paid out to the Participants.
8.3 Earning of Performance Units. After the applicable time period
during which the goals must be met, the holder of Performance Units shall be
entitled to receive payout on the number of Performance Units earned by the
Participant over such period, to be determined as a function of the extent to
which the corresponding performance goals have been achieved, all as set forth
in the Performance Unit Award Agreement or Notification Form.

8.4 Form and Timing of Payment of Performance Units. Payment of earned
Performance Units shall be made in a single lump sum, within forty-five (45)
calendar days following the close of the applicable time period during which the
goals must be met. The Committee, in its sole discretion, may pay earned
Performance Units in the form of cash or in Shares (or in a combination thereof)
which have an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to the value of the earned
Performance Units at the close of such period.
Prior to the beginning of each time period during which the goals must
be met, Participants may elect to defer the receipt of the Performance Unit
payout upon such terms as the Committee deems appropriate.
8.5 Termination of Employment Due to Death, Disability, Retirement, or
Involuntary Termination (without Cause). In the event the employment of a
Participant is terminated by reason of death, Disability, Retirement, or
involuntary termination without Cause during a Performance Period, the
Participant shall receive a prorated payout of the Performance Units. The
prorated payout shall be determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion,
based upon the guidelines set forth with respect to the vesting of Options, as
specified in Sections 6.8 and 6.9, or such other standards as may be prescribed
by the Committee in the Performance Unit Award Agreement or Notification Form,
and further adjusted based on the achievement of the preestablished performance
goals.
Payment of earned Performance Units shall be made at the same time
payments are made to Participants who did not terminate employment during the
applicable time period during which the goals must be met.
8.6 Termination of Employment for Other Reasons. In the event that a
Participant terminates employment with Company for any reason other than those
reasons set forth in Section 8.5, unless the Committee determines otherwise, all
Performance Units shall be forfeited by the Participant to Company and shall
once again be available for grant under the Plan.
8.7 A Participant who has been granted Performance Units under the Plan
may assign or otherwise transfer all or a portion of the rights under the
Performance Units to a family member or members, or to a trust or similar entity
(including a family limited partnership) benefiting such family member or
members, subject to such restrictions, limitations, or conditions as the Human
Resources Committee deems to be appropriate.
ARTICLE 9. PERFORMANCE-BASED AWARDS
9.1 Purpose. The purpose of this Article 9 is to provide the Committee
the ability to qualify the Restricted Stock Awards under Article 7 and the
Performance Unit Awards under Article 8 as "performance-based compensation"
under Section 162(m) of the Code. If the Committee, in its discretion, decides
to grant a Performance-Based Award to a Covered Employee, the provisions of this
Article 9 shall control over any contrary provision contained in Articles 7 or
8.
9.2 Applicability. This Article 9 shall apply only to those Covered
Employees selected by the Committee to receive Performance-Based Awards. The
Committee may, in its discretion, grant Restricted Stock Awards or Performance
Unit Awards to Covered Employees
-13-
14
that do not satisfy the requirements of this Article 9. The designation of a
Covered Employee as a Participant for a Performance Period shall not in any
manner entitle the Participant to receive an Award for the period. Moreover,
designation of a Covered Employee as a Participant for a particular Performance
Period shall not require designation of such Covered Employee as a Participant
in any subsequent Performance Period and designation of one Covered Employee as
a Participant shall not require designation of any other Covered Employee as a
Participant in such period or in any other period.
9.3 Discretion of Committee with Respect to Performance Awards. With
regard to a particular Performance Period, the Committee shall have full
discretion to select the length of such Performance Period, the type of
Performance-Based Awards to be issued, the kind and/or level of the Performance
Goal, and whether the Performance Goal is to apply to Company, a Subsidiary or
any division or business unit thereof.
9.4 Payment of Performance Awards. Unless otherwise provided in the
relevant Award Agreement or Notification Form, a Participant must be employed by
Company or a Subsidiary on the last day of the Performance Period to be eligible
for a Performance Award for such Performance Period. Furthermore, a Participant
shall be eligible to receive payment under a Performance-Based Award for a
Performance Period only if the Performance Goals for such period are achieved.
In determining the actual size of an individual Performance-Based
Award, the Committee may reduce or eliminate the amount of the Performance-Based
Award earned for the Performance Period, if in its sole and absolute discretion
such reduction or elimination is appropriate.
9.5 Maximum Award Payable. Notwithstanding any provision contained in
the Plan to the contrary, the maximum Performance-Based Award payable to any one
Participant under the Plan for a Performance Period is seventy-five thousand
(75,000) Shares, or in the event the Performance-Based Award is paid in cash,
such maximum Performance-Based Award shall be determined by multiplying
seventy-five thousand (75,000) by the Fair Market Value of one Share as of the
date of grant of the Performance-Based Award.
ARTICLE 10. BENEFICIARY DESIGNATION
Each Participant under the Plan may, from time to time, name any
beneficiary or beneficiaries (who may be named contingently or successively) to
whom any benefit under the Plan is to be paid in case of his or her death before
he or she receives any or all of such benefit. Each such designation shall
revoke all prior designations by the same Participant, shall be in a form
prescribed by Company, and will be effective only when filed by the Participant
in writing with the Human Resource Department of Company during the
Participant's lifetime. In the absence of any such designation, benefits
remaining unpaid at the Participant's death shall be paid to the Participant's
estate.
ARTICLE 11. DEFERRALS
The Committee may permit a Participant to defer such Participant's
receipt of the payment of cash or the delivery of Shares that would otherwise be
due to such Participant by
-14-
15
virtue of the exercise of an Option, the lapse or waiver of restrictions with
respect to Restricted Stock, or the satisfaction of any requirements or goals
with respect to Performance Units. If any such deferral election is required or
permitted, the Committee shall, in its sole discretion, establish rules and
procedures for such payment deferrals.
ARTICLE 12. RIGHTS OF EMPLOYEES
12.1 Employment. Nothing in the Plan shall interfere with or limit in
any way the right of Company to terminate any Participant's employment at any
time, nor confer upon any Participant any right to continue in the employ of
Company.
For purposes of the Plan, transfer of employment of a Participant
between Company and any one of its Subsidiaries (or between Subsidiaries) shall
not be deemed a termination of employment.
12.2 Participation. No Employee shall have the right to be selected to
receive an Award under this Plan, or, having been so selected, to be selected to
receive a future Award.
ARTICLE 13. CHANGE IN CONTROL
Upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, unless otherwise
specifically prohibited by the terms of Article 17:
(a) Any and all Options granted under the Plan shall become
immediately exercisable and shall remain exercisable by the Participant
at any time prior to their expiration date or for one (1) year after
the date of the occurrence of the Change in Control, whichever period
is shorter; provided that, if the Participant is terminated following
such Change in Control, the provisions of the Plan regarding
exercisability of vested options set forth in Sections 6.8 and 6.9
shall apply.
(b) Any restriction periods and restrictions imposed on
Restricted Shares shall lapse, and within ten (10) business days after
the occurrence of a Change in Control, the stock certificates
representing Shares of Restricted Stock, without any restrictions or
legend thereon, shall be delivered to the applicable Participants;
(c) The value of all Performance Units and the time and manner
of payment for Performance Units shall be governed by the terms of the
Performance Unit Award Agreement or Notification Form; and
(d) Subject to Article 14, the Committee shall have the
authority to make any modifications to the Awards as determined by the
Committee to be appropriate before the effective date of the Change in
Control.
ARTICLE 14. AMENDMENT, MODIFICATION, AND TERMINATION
14.1 Amendment, Modification, and Termination. With the approval of the
Board, at any time and from time to time, the Committee may terminate, amend, or
modify the Plan. However, to the extent necessary and desirable to comply with
any applicable law, regulation, or
-15-
16
stock exchange rule, the Board shall obtain shareholder approval of any Plan
amendment in such manner and to such a degree as may be required.
14.2 Awards Previously Granted. No termination, amendment, or
modification of the Plan shall in any manner adversely affect any Award
previously granted under the Plan, without the written consent of the
Participant holding such Award.
ARTICLE 15. WITHHOLDING
The Company shall have the power and the right to deduct or withhold,
or require a Participant to remit to Company, an amount sufficient to satisfy
Federal, state, and local taxes (including the Participant's FICA obligation)
required by law to be withheld with respect to any grant, exercise, or payment
made under or as a result of this Plan.
ARTICLE 16. SUCCESSORS
All obligations of Company with respect to Awards granted under the
Plan shall be binding on any successor to Company, whether the existence of such
successor is the result of a direct or indirect purchase, merger, consolidation,
or otherwise, of all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of
Company.
ARTICLE 17. REQUIREMENTS OF LAW
17.1 Requirements of Law. The granting of Awards and the issuance of
Shares under the Plan shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules, and
regulations, and to such approvals by any governmental agencies or national
securities exchanges as may be required.

hereunder, shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware.
