If a majority of the shares which are of the same class as the shares that are subject to outstanding Awards are exchanged for, converted into, or otherwise become (whether or not pursuant to an Ownership Change Event, as defined in Section 13.1) shares of another corporation (the “New Shares”), the Committee may unilaterally amend the outstanding Awards to provide that such Awards are exercisable for or settled in New Shares. In the event of any such amendment, the number of shares subject to, and the exercise price per share of, the outstanding Awards shall be adjusted in a fair and equitable manner as determined by the Committee, in its discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any fractional share resulting from an adjustment pursuant to this Section 4.2 shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number, and in no event may the exercise price of any Award be decreased to an amount less than the par value, if any, of the stock subject to the Award. The adjustments determined by the Committee pursuant to this Section 4.2 shall be final, binding and conclusive.

In addition to the adjustments permitted under paragraph (a) above, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may make such other adjustments or modifications in the terms of any Awards that it deems appropriate to reflect any of the events described in Section 4.2(a), including, but not limited to, (i) modifications of performance goals and changes in the length of Performance Cycles or performance periods, (ii) the substitution of other property of equivalent value (including, without limitation, cash, other securities and securities of entities other than the Company that agree to such substitution) for the Shares available under the Plan or the shares of Stock covered by outstanding Awards, including arranging for the assumption, or replacement with new awards, of Awards held by Participants, but in either case only to the extent permitted by Section 162(m) of the Code with respect to Awards intended to qualify for Performance-Based Exception, or (iii) in connection with any sale of a Subsidiary, arranging for the assumption, or replacement with new awards, of Awards held by Participants employed by the affected Subsidiary by the Subsidiary or an entity that controls the Subsidiary following the sale of such Subsidiary.

(c)	The determination of the Committee as to the foregoing adjustments set forth in this Section 4.2(c), if any, shall be made in accordance with Sections 409A or 424 of the Code, to the extent applicable, and shall be conclusive and binding on Participants under the Plan.

For purposes of this Section 5.3, options designated as Incentive Stock Options shall be taken into account in the order in which they were granted, and the Fair Market Value of Stock shall be determined as of the time the Option with respect to such Stock is granted. If the Code is amended to provide for a different limitation from that set forth in this Section 5.3, such different limitation shall be deemed incorporated herein effective as of the date and with respect to such Options as required or permitted by such amendment to the Code.

Subject to earlier termination of the Option as otherwise provided herein and unless otherwise provided by the Committee in the grant of an Option and set forth in the Option Agreement, an Option shall be exercisable after a Participant’s termination of Service only during the applicable time period determined in accordance with this Section 6.5 and thereafter shall terminate:

(i)

Disability. If the Participant’s Service with the Participating Company Group terminates because of the Disability of the Participant, the Option, to the extent unexercised and exercisable on the date on which the Participant’s Service terminated, may be exercised by the Participant (or the Participant’s guardian or legal representative) at any time prior to the expiration of one (1) year (or such other period of time as determined by the Committee, in its discretion) after the date on which the Participant’s Service terminated, but in any event no later than the date of expiration of the Option’s term as set forth in the Option Agreement evidencing such Option (the “Option Expiration Date”).

(ii)

Death. If the Participant’s Service with the Participating Company Group terminates because of the death of the Participant, the Option, to the extent unexercised and exercisable on the date on which the Participant’s Service terminated, may be exercised by the Participant’s legal representative or other person who acquired the right to exercise the Option by reason of the Participant’s death at any time prior to the expiration of one (1) year (or such other period of time as determined by the Committee, in its discretion) after the date on which the Participant’s Service terminated, but in any event no later than the Option Expiration Date. The Participant’s Service shall be deemed to have terminated on account of death if the Participant dies within three (3) months (or such other period of time as determined by the Committee, in its discretion) after the Participant’s termination of Service.

(iii)	Cause. If the Participant’s Service with the Participating Company Group is terminated for Cause, the Option shall terminate and cease to be exercisable immediately upon such termination of Service.

(iv)

Termination of Service. If the Participant’s Service with the Participating Company Group terminates for any reason, except Disability, death or Cause, the Option, to the extent unexercised and exercisable by the Participant on the date on which the Participant’s Service terminated, may be exercised by the Participant at any time prior to the expiration of three (3) months (or such other period of time as determined by the Committee, in its discretion) after the date on which the Participant’s Service terminated, but in any event no later than the Option Expiration Date.

(b)

Extension if Exercise Prevented by Law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the exercise of an Option within the applicable time periods set forth in Section 6.5(a) is prevented by the provisions of Section 15 below, the Option shall remain exercisable until three (3) months (or such longer period of time as determined by the Committee, in its discretion) after the date the Participant is notified by the Company that the Option is exercisable, but in any event no later than the Option Expiration Date.

(c)

Extension if Participant Subject to Section 16(b). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a sale within the applicable time periods set forth in Section 6.5(a) of shares acquired upon the exercise of the Option would subject the Participant to suit under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, the Option shall remain exercisable until the earliest to occur of (i) the tenth (10th) day following the date on which a sale of such shares by the Participant would no longer be subject to such suit, (ii) the one hundred and ninetieth (190th) day after the Participant’s termination of Service, or (iii) the Option Expiration Date.

(d)	Option Vesting. Every Option awarded under the Plan (including those Options awarded prior to the Effective Date, which are hereby amended to incorporate the following terms) shall become 100% vested if the Participant’s Service with the Participating Company Group terminates because of the death of the Participant, as of the date of the Participant’s death.

6.

Transferability of Options. Incentive Stock Options granted under the Plan shall not be transferable otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, or pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order as defined by the Code or Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, or the rules thereunder. Incentive Stock Options shall be exercisable during the lifetime of the Participant only by the Participant or by the Participant’s guardian or legal representative (unless such exercise would disqualify an Option as an Incentive Stock Option). With the approval of the Committee, the Option Agreement (other than an Incentive Stock Option) may provide that such Option may be transferred without consideration to one or more Permitted Transferees. Any attempted assignment, transfer, pledge, hypothecation or other disposition of an Option or other award contrary to the provisions hereof, or the levy of any execution, attachment or similar process upon an Option or other award shall be null and void and without effect. As used herein, “Permitted Transferees” means a member of a Participant’s immediate family, trusts for the exclusive benefit of such Participant and/or such Participant’s immediate family members, and partnerships or other entities in which the Participant and/or such immediate family members are the only partners, provided that no consideration is provided for the transfer. Immediate family members shall include a Participant’s spouse, descendants (children, grandchildren and more remote descendants), spouses of descendants, and shall include step-children and relationships arising from legal adoption.

7.	Dividend Payments. No dividends or dividend equivalents will be accrued or paid with respect to Options.

7.	STANDARD FORMS OF OPTION AGREEMENT.

1.	Option Agreement. Unless otherwise provided by the Committee at the time the Option is granted, an Option shall comply with and be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the form of Option Agreement approved by the Committee concurrently with its adoption of the Plan and as amended from time to time.

2.

Authority to Vary Terms. The Committee shall have the authority from time to time to vary the terms of any standard form of Option Agreement described in this Section 7 either in connection with the grant or amendment of an individual Option or in connection with the authorization of a new standard form or forms; provided, however, that the terms and conditions of any such new, revised or amended standard form or forms of Option Agreement are not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan.

8.	AWARDS TO NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTORS.

9.	AWARD AND DELIVERY OF RESTRICTED STOCK.

1.

Restricted Period. At the time an award of Restricted Stock is made, the Committee shall establish a period or periods of time (each a “Restricted Period”) or such other restrictions on the vesting of the Restricted Stock as it shall deem appropriate or applicable to such award. Each award of Restricted Stock may have a different Restricted Period or Restricted Periods. The Committee may, in its sole discretion, at the time an award is made, provide for the incremental lapse of Restricted Periods with respect to a portion or portions of the Restricted Stock awarded, and for the lapse or termination of restrictions upon all or any portion of the Restricted Stock upon the satisfaction of other conditions in addition to or other than the expiration of the applicable Restricted Period. The Committee may also, in its sole discretion, shorten or terminate a Restricted Period or waive any conditions for the lapse or termination of restrictions with respect to all or any portion of the Restricted Stock.

2.

Rights and Privileges. At the time a grant of Restricted Stock is made to a Participant, a stock certificate representing a number of shares of the Company’s common stock equal to the number of shares of such Restricted Stock shall be registered in the Participant’s name but shall be held in custody by the Company for such Participant’s account. The Participant shall generally have the rights and privileges of a stockholder as to such Restricted Stock, including, without limitation, the right to vote the Restricted Stock, except that, subject to the earlier lapse or termination of restrictions as herein provided, the following restrictions shall apply: (i) the Participant shall not be entitled to delivery of the stock certificate evidencing Restricted Stock until the expiration or termination of the Restricted Period applicable to such shares and the satisfaction of any other conditions prescribed by the Committee; (ii) none of the shares then subject to a Restricted Period shall be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged, or otherwise encumbered or disposed of during the

---

3.

Expiration of Restricted Period. Upon the expiration or termination of the Restricted Period applicable to Restricted Stock and the satisfaction of any other conditions prescribed by the Committee or at such earlier time as provided for herein, the restrictions applicable to the Restricted Stock to such Restricted Period shall lapse and a certificate for a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Restricted Stock with respect to which the restrictions have expired or terminated shall be delivered, free of all such restrictions, except any that may be imposed by law, to the Participant. The Company shall not be required to deliver any fractional share of Common Stock but shall pay to the Participant, in lieu thereof, the product of (i) the Fair Market Value per share (determined as of the date the restrictions expire or terminate) and (ii) the fraction of a share to which such Participant would otherwise be entitled.

4.

Tax Withholding. Upon termination of the Restricted Period with respect to an award of Restricted Stock (or such earlier time, if any, as an election is made by the employee under Section 83(b) of the Code, or any successor provisions thereto, to include the value of such shares in taxable income), the Company shall have the right to require the Participant to pay to the Company the amount of taxes that the Company is required to withhold with respect to such shares of Stock or, in lieu thereof, to retain or sell without notice a sufficient number of shares of Stock held by it to cover the amount required to be withheld. The Committee may permit a Participant to elect to satisfy the withholding requirement attributable to the vesting of a Participant’s Restricted Stock award, in whole or in part, by having the Company withhold shares of Stock with a Fair Market Value on the date the tax is to be determined equal to the Company’s minimum statutory withholding tax obligation. Any such election shall be irrevocable, made in writing, signed by the Participant, and shall be subject to any conditions, restrictions or limitations that the Committee, in its discretion, deems appropriate.

5.	Vesting Events for Restricted Stock. If the Employee terminates employment by reason of death, all of his or her shares of Restricted Stock shall become 100% vested upon the date of death. All Restricted Stock awards prior to the Effective Date are hereby amended to incorporate these terms.

6.

Award Vesting Limitations. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, but subject to Section 4.2, Awards granted under the Plan on or after the Effective Date shall vest no earlier than the first anniversary of the date the Award is granted; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, Awards that result in the issuance of an aggregate of up to 5% of the shares of Stock available pursuant to Section 4.1 may be granted to any one or more Participants without respect to such minimum vesting provisions. Nothing in this Section 9.6 shall preclude the Committee from providing in an Award agreement that all or a portion of the Award shall vest, or exercising its discretion to cause all or a portion of an Award to become vested, upon a Participant’s death or Disability, or, subject to Section 13.2, in connection with the consummation of a Change in Control.

10.	ANNUAL INCENTIVE AWARDS.

1.

Annual Incentive Awards. The Committee may grant annual incentive awards of Stock or cash (each an “Annual Incentive Award”) to such Participants as the Committee may from time to time recommend, in such amounts and subject to such terms and conditions as the Committee in its discretion may determine. The Committee shall establish the maximum amount of Annual Incentive Awards that may be granted for each Performance Cycle. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all Annual Incentive Awards shall be subject to the provisions of paragraphs (a) through (d) below:

(a)	Annual Incentive Awards shall be granted in connection with a 12-month Performance Cycle, which shall be the fiscal year of the Company.

(b)	Subject to Section 4.1, the Committee shall determine the Participants who shall be eligible to receive an Annual Incentive Award for such Performance Cycle.

---

(c)	The Committee shall fix and establish, in writing, (A) the Performance Measure(s) that shall apply to such Performance Cycle, (B) an objective formula for computing the amount of the Annual Incentive Awards for such Performance Cycle, where the amount shall be based upon the attainment of various Performance Goals for the applicable Performance Measure(s).

(d)	Annual Incentive Awards shall be paid in the form of cash, Stock (including Restricted Stock) or any combination thereof, in the discretion of the Committee.

11.	PERFORMANCE-BASED AWARDS.

1.

Performance-Based Awards. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Committee may designate any of the Awards available under the Plan (including but not limited to Options, Restricted Stock, Annual Incentive Awards and Discretionary Bonus Awards) as conditioned on the achievement of specified Performance Measures (each such Award a “Performance-Based Award”). The grant, exercise, vesting or settlement of Performance-Based Awards may be conditioned on the achievement of specified Performance Goals, including in such a manner as to enable a Performance-Based Award to qualify for and comply with the requirements of Section 162(m) of the Code. The Performance Cycle or performance period(s) applicable to a Performance-Based Award shall be any period of time determined by the Committee.

2.

Objective Performance Goals and Performance Measures. A Performance Goal established in connection with an Award covered by this Article must be (1) objective, so that a third party having knowledge of the relevant facts could determine whether the Performance Goal is met, (2) prescribed in writing by the Committee before the beginning of the applicable performance period or at such later date when fulfillment is substantially uncertain not later than 90 days after the commencement of the performance period and in any event before completion of 25% of the performance period, and (3) based on any one or more of the following performance measures (each, a “Performance Measure”) (which may be applied to an individual, a subsidiary, a business unit or division, or the Company and any one or more of its subsidiaries as a whole, as determined by the Committee):

(s)	A combination of any or all of the foregoing criteria.

3.

Evaluation of Performance. The Committee may provide in any Performance-Based Award intended to meet the Performance-Based Exception that any evaluation of performance may include or exclude the impact, if any, on reported financial results of any of the following events that occurs during a Performance Cycle or performance period, as applicable: (a) asset write-downs, (b) litigation or claim judgments or settlements, (c) changes in tax laws, accounting principles or other laws or provisions, (d) reorganization or restructuring programs, (e) acquisitions or divestitures, (f) foreign exchange gains and losses or (g) gains and losses that are treated as unusual in nature or that occur infrequently under Accounting Standards Codification Topic 225. Such inclusions or exclusions shall be prescribed in a form and at a time so that the Performance-Based Award meets the requirements for the Performance-Based Exception.

4.

Committee Discretion. In the event that applicable tax or securities laws change to permit the Committee the discretion to modify, at any time and in any manner, an outstanding Performance-Based Award that is intended to meet the Performance-Based Exception without obtaining shareholder approval of such modification, the Committee shall have sole discretion to make such changes without obtaining shareholder approval. In addition, in the event that the Committee determines that it is advisable to grant Awards that are not intended to qualify for the Performance-Based Exception, the Committee may make such grants without satisfying the requirements of Section 162(m) of the Code and base vesting on Performance Measures other than those set forth in Section 12.2.

5.

Calculation of Performance-Based Award. At the expiration of the applicable performance period, the Committee shall determine the extent to which the Performance Goals established pursuant to this Article are achieved and the extent to which each performance-based award has been earned. The Committee may not exercise its discretion to increase the amount or value of an award that would otherwise be payable in accordance with the terms of a Performance-Based Award that is intended to meet the requirements for the Performance-Based Exception.

12.	DISCRETIONARY BONUS AWARDS.

1.	Discretionary Bonus Awards. The Committee may grant discretionary bonus awards of Stock or cash (each a “Discretionary Bonus Award”) to officers and other key Employees of either the Company or any Subsidiary, in such amounts and subject to such terms and conditions as the Committee in its discretion may determine.

2.	The Committee may grant Discretionary Bonus Awards to eligible Participants in such amounts as the Committee may determine, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 4.1.

3.	Discretionary Bonus Awards shall be paid in the form of cash, Stock (including Restricted Stock) or any combination thereof, in the discretion of the Committee.

13.	CHANGE IN CONTROL.

1.	Definitions.

(a)

An “Ownership Change Event” shall be deemed to have occurred if any of the following occurs with respect to the Company: (i) the direct or indirect sale or exchange in a single or series of related transactions by the stockholders of the Company of more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting stock of the Company; (ii) a merger or consolidation in which the Company is a party; (iii) the sale, exchange, or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company; or (iv) a liquidation or dissolution of the Company.

(b)	A “Change in Control” shall mean (i) a merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation in which the Company shall not be the surviving corporation (other than a merger undertaken solely in order to reincorporate in another state) (for purposes hereof, the Company shall not be deemed the

2.

Effect of Change in Control on Awards. Upon a Change in Control, each outstanding Award shall become 100% vested (with any performance conditions imposed with respect to such Award deemed to be achieved at “target” performance levels) and exercisable as of the date ten (10) days prior to the date of the Change in Control, provided that the Participant’s Service has not terminated prior to such date. The exercise or vesting of any Award that was permissible solely by reason of this Section 13.2 shall be conditioned upon the consummation of the Change in Control. Any Option which is neither assumed or substituted for by the surviving, continuing, successor, or purchasing corporation of Parent thereof, as the case may be (the “Acquiring Corporation”) in connection with the Change in Control nor exercised as of the date of the Change in Control shall terminate and cease to be outstanding effective as of the date of the Change in Control; except as would otherwise result in adverse tax consequences under Section 409A of the Code; provided, however, that the Committee may, in its discretion, provide that any Option shall, immediately prior to the occurrence of a Change in Control, be cancelled in exchange for a payment in cash or securities in an amount equal to (a) the excess of the consideration paid per share of Stock in the Change in Control over the exercise price per share of Stock subject to the Option, multiplied by (b) the number of shares of Stock subject to the Option. Notwithstanding the foregoing, shares acquired upon exercise of an Award prior to the Change in Control and any consideration received pursuant to the Change in Control with respect to such shares shall continue to be subject to all applicable provisions of the applicable Option Agreement, Award Certificate or Stock Purchase Agreement, except as otherwise provided therein. Furthermore, notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Change in Control results from an Ownership Change Event described in Section 13.1(a)(i) and the Company is the surviving or continuing corporation and immediately after such Change in Control less than fifty percent (50%) of the total combined voting power of its voting stock is held by another corporation or by other corporations that are members of an affiliated group within the meaning of Section 1504(a) of the Code without regard to the provisions of Section 1504(b) of the Code, the outstanding Awards shall not terminate unless the Committee otherwise provides in its discretion. For the avoidance of doubt, all Restricted Stock awards prior to the Effective Date are hereby amended to incorporate these terms.
