(b)       Authority of the Committee.  The Committee shall have full discretionary authority to grant, pursuant to the terms of the Plan, Awards to those individuals who are eligible to receive Awards under the Plan.  Except as limited by law or by the Certificate of Incorporation or By-Laws of the Company, and subject to the provisions herein, the Committee shall have full power, in accordance with the other terms and provisions of the Plan, to:

(i)   select Eligible Grantees to whom Awards may from time to time be granted;

(ii) determine the time or times of grant, and the extent, if any, of Incentive Stock Options, Nonqualified Stock Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, Restricted Stock Awards, Restricted Stock Units, Other Stock-Based Awards, Dividend Equivalents and Cash-Based Awards, or any combination of the foregoing, granted to any one or more grantees;

(iii) determine the number of shares of Common Stock to be covered by any Award;

(iv) determine and modify from time to time the terms and conditions, including restrictions, not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, of any Award, which terms and conditions may differ among individual Awards and Participants, and to approve the forms of Award Agreements;

(v) accelerate at any time the exercisability or vesting of all or any portion of any Award, provided that the Committee generally shall not exercise such discretion to accelerate Awards subject to Section 8 except in the event of the Participant’s death, disability or retirement, or a change in control (including a Change of Control) (the “Vesting Acceleration Requirements”);

(vi) subject to the provisions of Section 6(d), extend at any time the period in which Stock Options may be exercised; and

(c)       Award Agreements.  The Committee shall, subject to applicable laws and rules, determine the date an Award is granted.  Each Award shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement; however, two or more Awards granted to a single Participant may be combined in a single Award Agreement.  An Award Agreement shall not be a precondition to the granting of an Award; provided, however, that (i) the Committee may, but need not, require as a condition to any Award Agreement’s effectiveness, that such Award Agreement be executed on behalf of the Company and/or by the Participant to whom the Award evidenced thereby shall have been granted (including by electronic signature or other electronic indication of acceptance), and such executed Award Agreement be delivered to the Company, and (ii) no person shall have any rights under any Award unless and until the Participant to whom such Award shall have been granted has complied with the applicable terms and conditions of the Award.  The Committee shall prescribe the form of all Award Agreements, and, subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, shall determine the content of all Award Agreements.  Subject to the other provisions of the Plan, any Award Agreement may be supplemented or amended in writing from time to time as approved by the Committee;  provided that the terms and conditions of any such Award Agreement as supplemented or amended are not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan.  In the event of any dispute or discrepancy concerning the terms of an Award, the records of the Committee or its designee shall be determinative.

(d)       Discretionary Authority; Decisions Binding.  The Committee shall have full discretionary authority in all matters related to the discharge of its responsibilities and the exercise of its authority under the Plan.  All determinations, decisions, actions and interpretations by the Committee with respect to the Plan and any Award Agreement, and all related orders and resolutions of the Committee shall be final, conclusive and binding on all Participants, the Company and its stockholders, any Affiliate and all persons having or claiming to have any right or interest in or under the Plan and/or any Award Agreement.  The Committee shall consider such factors as it deems relevant to making or taking such decisions, determinations, actions and interpretations, including the recommendations or advice of any Director or officer or employee of the Company, any director, officer or employee of an Affiliate and such attorneys, consultants and accountants as the Committee may select.  A Participant or other holder of an Award may contest a decision or action by the Committee with respect to such person or Award only on the grounds that such decision or action was arbitrary or capricious or was unlawful, and any review of such decision or action shall be limited to determining whether the Committee’s decision or action was arbitrary or capricious or was unlawful.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event that an Award Agreement sets forth an alternative mechanism for resolving disputes or standard of review, the mechanisms and/or standard of review set forth in the Award Agreement shall control.

(e)        Attorneys; Consultants.  The Committee may consult with counsel who may be counsel to the Company.  The Committee may, with the approval of the Board, employ such other attorneys and/or consultants, accountants, appraisers, brokers, agents and other persons, any of whom may be an Eligible Grantee, as the Committee deems necessary or appropriate.  The Committee, the Company and its officers and Directors shall be entitled to rely upon the advice, opinions or valuations of any such persons.  The Committee shall not incur any liability for any action taken in good faith in reliance upon the advice of such counsel or other persons.

(f)       Delegation of Administration.  Except to the extent prohibited by applicable law, or any applicable rules of a stock exchange, the Committee may, in its discretion, allocate all or any portion of its responsibilities and powers under this Section 3 to any one or more of its members and/or delegate all or any part of its responsibilities and powers under this Section 3 to any person or persons selected by it; provided, however, that the Committee may not (i) delegate to any executive officer of the Company or an Affiliate, or a committee that includes any such executive officer, the Committee’s authority to grant Awards, or the Committee’s authority otherwise concerning Awards, awarded to executive officers of the

Company or an Affiliate; (ii) delegate the Committee’s authority to grant Awards to consultants unless any such Award is subject to approval by the Committee; or (iii) delegate its authority to correct defects, omissions or inconsistencies in the Plan.  Any such authority delegated or allocated by the Committee under this Section 3(f) shall be exercised in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Plan and any rules, regulations or administrative guidelines that may from time to time be established by the Committee, and any such allocation or delegation may be revoked by the Committee at any time.

(g)    Full Value Award Minimum Vesting Requirements.  Notwithstanding any other provision in the Plan to the contrary, the minimum restriction or vesting period with respect to any Restricted Stock Award or Restricted Stock Unit Award granted to employees shall be no less than one year in the case of a performance-based restriction or vesting period and no less than three years in the case of a time-based restriction or vesting period (the “Minimum Vesting Requirements”); provided, however, that an Award with a time-based restriction or vesting period may become unrestricted and vested incrementally over such three year period; and provided further that, (i) the vesting of any such Award may accelerate (or be accelerated by the Committee) if one or more of the Vesting Acceleration Requirements is met and (ii) notwithstanding the foregoing, Restricted Stock Awards and Restricted Stock Unit Awards that result in the issuance of up to 10% of the shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the Plan pursuant to Section 4(a) may be granted in the aggregate to any one or more Eligible Grantees or may be accelerated without respect to such Minimum Vesting Requirements or Vesting Acceleration Requirements.

4.     Shares Subject To The Plan.

(a)       Number of Shares Available for Issuance.  The shares of stock subject to Awards granted under the Plan shall be Shares.  Such Shares subject to the Plan may be authorized and unissued shares (which will not be subject to preemptive rights), Shares held in treasury by the Company, Shares purchased on the open market or by private purchase or any combination of the foregoing.  Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4(c), the total number of Shares that may be issued pursuant to Awards under the Plan as of the effective time of the Merger and after taking into account any adjustments as a result of the Merger, shall be 200,000 Shares.

(b)       Rules for Calculating Shares Issued.

(i)      The shares of Common Stock underlying any Awards under the Plan that are forfeited, canceled or otherwise terminated (other than by exercise) shall be added back to the shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the Plan.

(ii)      Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following shares shall not be added to the shares authorized for grant under the Plan: (i) shares tendered or held back upon exercise of an Option or settlement of an Award to cover the exercise price or tax withholding, and (ii) shares subject to a Stock Appreciation Right that are not issued in connection with the stock settlement of the Stock Appreciation Right upon exercise thereof.  In the event the Company repurchases shares of Common Stock on the open market, such shares shall not be added to the shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the Plan.

(iii)      Any Shares delivered under the Plan upon exercise or satisfaction of Substitute Awards shall not reduce the Shares available for issuance under the Plan; provided,  however,  that the total number of Shares that may be issued pursuant to Incentive Stock Options granted under the Plan shall be 200,000 Shares, as adjusted pursuant to paragraphs (i) and (ii) of this Section 4(b) and Section 4(c).

(c)       Adjustment Provisions.  Subject to Section 14 hereof, if, as a result of any reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or other similar change in the Company’s capital stock, the outstanding shares of Common Stock are increased or decreased or are exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or other securities of the Company, or additional shares or new or different shares or other securities of the Company or other non-cash assets are distributed with respect to such shares of Common Stock or other securities, or, if, as a result of any merger or consolidation, sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, the outstanding shares of Common Stock are converted into or exchanged for securities of the Company or any successor entity (or a parent or subsidiary thereof), the Committee shall make an appropriate or proportionate adjustment in (i) the maximum number of shares reserved for issuance under the Plan, including the maximum number of shares that may be issued in the form of Incentive Stock Options, (ii) the number and kind of shares or other securities subject to any then outstanding Awards under the Plan, (iii) the repurchase price, if any, per share subject to each outstanding Restricted Stock Award, (iv) the Option Price for each share subject to any then outstanding Stock Options under the Plan, without changing the aggregate Option Price (i.e., the Option Price multiplied by the number of Stock Options) as to which such Stock Options remain exercisable and (v) the Grant Price for each share subject to any then outstanding Stock Appreciation Rights under the Plan, without changing the aggregate Grant Price (i.e., the Grant Price multiplied by the number of Stock Appreciation Rights) as to which such Stock Appreciation Rights remain exercisable.  The Committee shall also make equitable or proportionate adjustments in the number of shares subject to outstanding Awards and the exercise price and the terms of outstanding Awards to take into consideration cash dividends paid other than in the ordinary course or any other extraordinary corporate event.  The adjustment by the Committee shall be final, binding and conclusive.  No fractional shares of Stock shall be issued under the Plan resulting from any such adjustment, but the Committee in its discretion may make a cash payment in lieu of fractional shares.

(d)       No Limitation on Corporate Actions.  The existence of the Plan and any Awards granted hereunder shall not affect in any way the right or power of the Company or any Affiliate to make or authorize any adjustment, recapitalization, reorganization or other change in its capital structure or business structure,  any merger or consolidation,  any issuance of debt, preferred or prior preference stock ahead of or affecting the Shares, additional shares of capital stock or other securities or subscription rights thereto, any dissolution or liquidation, any sale or transfer of all or part of its assets or business or any other corporate act or proceeding.

6.     Stock Options.

(a)       Grant of Options.  Subject to the terms and provisions of the Plan, Options may be granted to Participants in such number (subject to Section 4), and upon such terms, and at any time and from time to time as shall be determined by the Committee.  The Committee may grant an Option or provide for the grant of an Option, either from time to time in the discretion of the Committee or automatically upon the occurrence of specified events, including the achievement of performance goals,

the satisfaction of an event or condition within the control of the recipient of the Option or within the control of others, in any event, as determined by the Committee.

(b)       Award Agreement.  Each Option grant shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement that shall specify the Option Price, the maximum duration of the Option, the number of Shares to which the Option pertains, the conditions upon which the Option shall become exercisable and such other provisions as the Committee shall determine,  which are not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan.  The Award Agreement also shall specify whether the Option is intended to be an ISO or an NQSO.  To the extent that any Option does not qualify as an ISO (whether because of its provisions or the time or manner of its exercise or otherwise), such Option, or the portion thereof which does not so qualify, shall constitute a separate NQSO.

(c)       Option Price.  The Option Price for each Option shall be determined by the Committee and set forth in the Award Agreement; provided that, subject to Section 6(i)(iii), the Option Price of an Option shall be not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the Grant Date of such Option; provided further, that Substitute Awards or Awards granted in connection with an adjustment provided for in Section 4(c), in the form of stock options, shall have an Option Price per Share that is intended to maintain the economic value of the Award that was replaced or adjusted, as determined by the Committee.

(d)       Duration of Options.  Each Option granted to a Participant shall expire at such time as the Committee shall determine as of the Grant Date and set forth in the Award Agreement; provided, however, that no Incentive Stock Option shall be exercisable later than the tenth (10th) anniversary of its Grant Date.

(e)       Exercise of Options.  Options shall be exercisable at such times and be subject to such restrictions and conditions as the Committee shall in each instance determine and set forth in the Award Agreement, which need not be the same for each grant or for each Option or Participant.  The Committee, in its sole discretion, may allow a Participant to exercise an Option that has not otherwise become exercisable pursuant to the applicable Award Agreement, in which case the Shares then issued shall be Shares of Restricted Stock having a Period of Restriction analogous to the exercisability provisions of the Option.

(f)        Payment.  Options shall be exercised by the delivery of a written notice of exercise to the Company, in a form specified or accepted by the Committee, or by complying with any alternative exercise procedures that may be authorized by the Committee, setting forth the number of Shares with respect to which the Option is to be exercised, accompanied by full payment for such Shares,  which shall include applicable taxes,  if any,  in accordance with Section 16.  The Option Price upon exercise of any Option shall be payable to the Company in full by cash, check or such cash equivalent as the Committee may accept.  If approved by the Committee and set forth in the Award Agreement, and subject to any such terms, conditions and limitations as the Committee may prescribe and to the extent permitted by applicable law, payment of the Option Price, in full or in part, may also be made as follows:

(i)      Payment may be made in the form of unrestricted and unencumbered Shares (by actual delivery of such Shares or by attestation) already owned by the Participant exercising such Option, or by such Participant and his or her spouse jointly (based on the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the date the Option is exercised); provided, however, that, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option, the right to make a payment in the form of such already owned Shares may be authorized only as of the Grant Date of such Incentive Stock Option and provided further that such already owned Shares must meet any such requirements as the Committee may

determine are necessary in order to avoid an accounting earnings charge on account of the use of such Shares to pay the Option Price).

(ii)     Payment may be made by means of a broker-assisted “cashless exercise” pursuant to which a Participant may elect to deliver a properly executed exercise notice to the Company, together with a copy of irrevocable instructions to a broker to deliver promptly to the Company the amount of Share sale or loan proceeds necessary to pay the Option Price, and, if requested, the amount of any federal, state, local or non-United States withholding taxes.

(iii)    Payment may be made by a “net exercise” pursuant to which the Participant instructs the Company to withhold a number of Shares otherwise deliverable to the Participant upon such exercise of the Option having an aggregate Fair Market Value on the date of exercise equal to the product of: (i) the Option Price multiplied by (ii) the number of Shares in respect of which the Option shall have been exercised, increased by the amount of any applicable withholding taxes.

(iv)    Payment may be made by any other method approved or accepted by the Committee in its discretion.

Subject to any governing rules or regulations, as soon as practicable after receipt of a written notification of exercise and full payment in accordance with the preceding provisions of this Section 6(f) and satisfaction of tax obligations in accordance with Section 16, the Company shall deliver to the Participant exercising an Option, in the Participant’s name, evidence of book entry Shares, or, upon the Participant’s request, Share certificates, in an appropriate amount based upon the number of Shares purchased under the Option, subject to Section  20(i).  Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, all payments under all of the methods described above shall be paid in United States dollars.

(g)       Rights and Obligations as a Stockholder.   No Participant or other person shall become the beneficial owner of any Shares subject to an Option, nor have any rights to dividends or other rights of a stockholder with respect to any such Shares, until the Participant has actually received such Shares following exercise of his or her Option in accordance with the provisions of the Plan and the applicable Award Agreement.

(h)       Termination of Service.  Except as otherwise provided by Section 6(e) or in the applicable Award Agreement, an Option may be exercised only to the extent that it is then exercisable, and if at all times during the period beginning with the date of granting of such Option and ending on the date of exercise of such Option the Participant is an Employee, Non- Employee Director, or Consultant, and shall terminate immediately upon a Termination of Service of the Participant.  An Option shall cease to become exercisable upon a Termination of Service of the holder, except as otherwise set forth in an Award Agreement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 6(h) to the contrary, the Committee may determine in its discretion that an Option may be exercised following any such Termination of Service, whether or not exercisable at the time of such Termination of Service; provided, however, that in no event may an Option be exercised after the expiration date of such Option and specified in the applicable Award Agreement.

(i)        Limitations on Incentive Stock Options.

(i)        General.  No ISO shall be granted to any Eligible Grantee who is not an Employee of the Company or a Subsidiary on the Grant Date of such Option.  Any ISO granted

under the Plan shall contain such terms and conditions, consistent with the Plan, as the Committee may determine to be necessary to qualify such Option as an “incentive stock option” under Section 422 of the Code.  Any ISO granted under the Plan may be modified by the Committee to disqualify such Option from treatment as an “incentive stock option” under Section 422 of the Code.

(ii)       $100,000 Per Year Limitation.  Notwithstanding any intent to grant ISOs, an Option granted under the Plan will not be considered an ISO to the extent that it, together with any other “incentive stock options” (within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code, but without regard to subsection (d) of such Section) under the Plan and any other “incentive stock option” plans of the Company, any Subsidiary and any “parent corporation” of the Company within the meaning of Section 424(e) of the Code, are exercisable for the first time by any Participant during any calendar year with respect to Shares having an aggregate Fair Market Value in excess of $100,000 (or such other limit as may be required by the Code) as of the Grant Date of the Option with respect to such Shares.  The rule set forth in the preceding sentence shall be applied by taking Options into account in the order in which they were granted.

(iii)      Options Granted to Certain Stockholders.  No ISO shall be granted to an individual otherwise eligible to participate in the Plan who owns (within the meaning of Section 424(d) of the Code), at the Grant Date of such Option, more than ten percent (10%) of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or a Subsidiary or any “parent corporation” of the Company within the meaning of Section 424(e) of the Code.  This restriction does not apply if at the Grant Date of such ISO the Option Price of the ISO is at least one hundred and ten percent (110)% of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the Grant Date of such ISO, and the ISO by its terms is not exercisable after the expiration of five years from such Grant Date.

7.     Stock Appreciation Rights.

(a)       Grant of SARs.  Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, SARs may be granted to Participants at any time and from time to time as shall be determined by the Committee.  The Committee may grant an SAR (i) in connection with, and at the Grant Date of, a related Option (a “Tandem SAR”), or (ii) independent of, and unrelated to, an Option (a “Freestanding SAR”).  The Committee shall have complete discretion in determining the number of Shares to which a SAR pertains (subject to Section 4) and, consistent with the provisions of the Plan, in determining the terms and conditions pertaining to any SAR.

(b)       Grant Price.  The Grant Price for each SAR shall be determined by the Committee and set forth in the Award Agreement, subject to the limitations of this Section 7(b).  The Grant Price for each Freestanding SAR shall be not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the Grant Date of such Freestanding SAR, except in the case of Substitute Awards or Awards granted in connection with an adjustment provided for in Section 4(c).  The Grant Price of a Tandem SAR shall be equal to the Option Price of the related Option.

(c)       Exercise of Tandem SARs.  Tandem SARs may be exercised for all or part of the Shares subject to the related Option upon the surrender of the right to exercise the equivalent portion of the related Option.  A Tandem SAR shall be exercisable only when and to the extent the related Option is exercisable and may be exercised only with respect to the Shares for which the related Option is then exercisable.  A Tandem SAR shall entitle a Participant to elect, in the manner set forth in the Plan and the applicable Award Agreement, in lieu of exercising his or her unexercised related Option for all or a portion of the Shares for which such Option is then exercisable pursuant to its terms, to surrender such

Option to the Company with respect to any or all of such Shares and to receive from the Company in exchange therefor a payment described in Section 7(g).  An Option with respect to which a Participant has elected to exercise a Tandem SAR shall, to the extent of the Shares covered by such exercise, be canceled automatically and surrendered to the Company.  Such Option shall thereafter remain exercisable according to its terms only with respect to the number of Shares as to which it would otherwise be exercisable, less the number of Shares with respect to which such Tandem SAR has been so exercised. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, with respect to a Tandem SAR granted in connection with an ISO:  (i) the Tandem SAR will expire no later than the expiration of the related ISO; (ii) the value of the payment with respect to the Tandem SAR may not exceed the difference between the Fair Market Value of the Shares subject to the related ISO at the time the Tandem SAR is exercised and the Option Price of the related ISO; and (iii) the Tandem SAR may be exercised only when the Fair Market Value of the Shares subject to the ISO exceeds the Option Price of the ISO.

(d)       Exercise of Freestanding SARs.    Freestanding SARs may be exercised upon whatever terms and conditions the Committee, in its sole discretion, in accordance with the Plan, determines and sets forth in the Award Agreement.

(e)       Award Agreement.  Each SAR grant shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement that shall specify the number of Shares to which the SAR pertains, the Grant Price, the term of the SAR, and such other terms and conditions as the Committee shall determine in accordance with the Plan.

(f)        Term of SARs.  The term of a SAR granted under the Plan shall be determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion, and set forth in the Award Agreement; provided, however, that the term of any Tandem SAR shall be the same as the related Option.

(g)       Payment of SAR Amount.  An election to exercise SARs shall be deemed to have been made on the date of Notice of such election to the Company.  As soon as practicable following such Notice, the Participant shall be entitled to receive payment from the Company in an amount determined by multiplying:

(i)      The excess of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of exercise over the Grant Price of the SAR; by

(ii)     The number of Shares with respect to which the SAR is exercised, after deduction of any tax withholding in accordance with Section 16.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 7(g) to the contrary, the Committee may establish and set forth in the applicable Award Agreement a maximum amount per Share that will be payable upon the exercise of a SAR.  At the discretion of the Committee, such payment upon exercise of a SAR shall be in cash, in Shares of equivalent Fair Market Value as of the date of such exercise, or in some combination thereof.

(h)       Rights and Obligations as a Stockholder.   A Participant receiving a SAR shall have the rights of a stockholder only as to Shares, if any, actually issued to such Participant upon satisfaction or achievement of the terms and conditions of the Award, and in accordance with the provisions of the Plan and the applicable Award Agreement, and not with respect to Shares to which such Award relates but which are not actually issued to such Participant.

(i)        Termination of Service.  Except as otherwise provided by Section 7(d) or in the applicable Award Agreement, a SAR may be exercised only to the extent that it is then

exercisable, and if at all times during the period beginning with the date of granting of such SAR and ending on the date of exercise of such SAR the Participant is an Employee, Non-Employee Director, Eligible Shareholder or Consultant, and shall terminate immediately upon a Termination of Service of the Participant.  A SAR shall cease to become exercisable upon a Termination of Service of the holder thereof, except as otherwise set forth in an Award Agreement.    Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 7(i) to the contrary, the Committee may determine in its discretion that a SAR may be exercised following any such Termination of Service, whether or not exercisable at the time of such Termination of Service; provided, however, that in no event may a SAR be exercised after the expiration date of such SAR specified in the applicable Award Agreement.

8.     Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units.

(a) Awards of Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units.  Subject to the terms and provisions of the Plan, the Committee, at any time and from time to time, may grant Shares of Restricted Stock and/or Restricted Stock Units to Participants in such amounts as the Committee shall determine.  Awards of Restricted Stock may be made with or without the requirement of a cash payment from the Participant to whom such Award is made in exchange for, or as a condition precedent to, the completion of such Award and the issuance of Shares of Restricted Stock, and any such required cash payment shall be set forth in the applicable Award Agreement.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 8 and the Award Agreement, upon delivery of Shares of Restricted Stock to a Participant, or creation of a book entry evidencing a Participant’s ownership of Shares of Restricted Stock, pursuant to Section 8(f), the Participant shall have all of the rights of a stockholder with respect to such Shares, subject to the terms and restrictions set forth in this Section 8 or the applicable Award Agreement or as determined by the Committee.

(b)       Award Agreement.   Each Restricted Stock and/or Restricted Stock Unit Award shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement that shall specify the Period of Restriction, the number of Shares of Restricted Stock or the number of Restricted Stock Units granted, and such other provisions as the Committee shall determine in accordance with the Plan.

(c)       Nontransferability of Restricted Stock.   Except as provided in this Section 8, Shares of Restricted Stock may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, encumbered, alienated, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of until the end of the applicable Period of Restriction established by the Committee and specified in the Restricted Stock Award Agreement.

(d)       Period of Restriction and Other Restrictions.  The Period of Restriction applicable to an Award of Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units shall lapse based on a Participant’s continuing service or employment with the Company or an Affiliate, the achievement of performance goals, the satisfaction of other conditions or restrictions or upon the occurrence of other events, in each case, as determined by the Committee, at its discretion, and stated in the Award Agreement.

(e)       Delivery of Shares and Settlement of Restricted Stock Units.  Upon the expiration of the Period of Restriction with respect to any Shares of Restricted Stock, the restrictions set forth in the applicable Award Agreement shall be of no further force or effect with respect to such Shares, except as set forth in such Award Agreement.  If applicable stock certificates are held by the Secretary of the Company or an escrow holder, upon such expiration, the Company shall deliver to the Participant, or his beneficiary, without charge, the stock certificate evidencing the Shares of Restricted Stock that have not then been forfeited and with respect to which the Period of Restriction has expired.   Unless otherwise provided by the Committee in an Award Agreement, upon the expiration of the Period of Restriction with respect to any outstanding Restricted Stock Units, the Company shall deliver to the Participant, or his beneficiary, without charge, one Share for each such outstanding Restricted Stock Unit; provided,

however, that the Committee may, in its discretion, elect to (i) pay cash or part cash and part Shares in lieu of delivering only Shares in respect of such Restricted Stock Units, or (ii) in an Award Agreement, defer the delivery of Shares beyond the expiration of the Period of Restriction.  If a cash payment is made in lieu of delivering Shares, the amount of such payment shall be equal to the Fair Market Value of such Shares as of the date on which the Period of Restriction lapsed (or, if the payment is deferred in accordance with clause (ii) of the previous sentence, on the date such Shares would have otherwise been delivered) with respect to such Restricted Stock Units, less applicable tax withholdings in accordance with Section 16.

(f)        Forms of Restricted Stock Awards.  Each Participant who receives an Award of Shares of Restricted Stock shall be issued a stock certificate or certificates evidencing the Shares covered by such Award registered in the name of such Participant, which certificate or certificates shall bear an appropriate legend, and, if the Committee determines that the Shares of Restricted Stock shall be held by the Company or in escrow rather than delivered to the Participant pending expiration of the Period of Restriction, the Committee may require the Participant to additionally execute and deliver to the Company:    (i)  an escrow agreement satisfactory to the Committee, if applicable, and (ii) an appropriate stock power (endorsed in blank) with respect to such Shares of Restricted Stock.  The Committee may require a Participant who receives a certificate or certificates evidencing a Restricted Stock Award to immediately deposit such certificate or certificates, together with a stock power or other appropriate instrument of transfer, endorsed in blank by the Participant, with signatures guaranteed in accordance with the Exchange Act if required by the Committee, with the Secretary of the Company or an escrow holder as provided in the immediately following sentence.  The Secretary of the Company or such escrow holder as the Committee may appoint shall retain physical custody of each certificate representing a Restricted Stock Award until the Period of Restriction and any other restrictions imposed by the Committee or under the Award Agreement with respect to the Shares evidenced by such certificate expire or shall have been removed.   The foregoing to the contrary notwithstanding, the Committee may, in its discretion, provide that a Participant’s ownership of Shares of Restricted Stock prior to the lapse of the Period of Restriction or any other applicable restrictions shall, in lieu of such certificates, be evidenced by a “book entry” (i.e., a computerized or manual entry) in the records of the Company or its designated agent in the name of the Participant who has received such Award.  Such records of the Company or such agent shall, absent manifest error, be binding on all Participants who receive Restricted Stock Awards evidenced in such manner.  The holding of Shares of Restricted Stock by the Company or such an escrow holder, or the use of book entries to evidence the ownership of Shares of Restricted Stock, in accordance with this Section 8(f), shall not affect the rights of Participants as owners of the Shares of Restricted Stock awarded to them, nor affect the restrictions applicable to such shares under the Award Agreement or the Plan, including the Period of Restriction.

(g)       Rights and Obligations as a Stockholder.

(i)        Restricted Stock.  Unless otherwise determined by the Committee and set forth in a Participant’s Award Agreement, to the extent permitted or required by law, as determined by the Committee, Participants holding Shares of Restricted Stock shall have the right to exercise full voting rights with respect to those Shares during the Period of Restriction.  During the Period of Restriction, Participants holding Shares of Restricted Stock shall be credited with any cash dividends paid with respect to such Shares while they are so held, unless determined otherwise by the Committee and set forth in the Award Agreement.    In the Committee’s discretion, the Period of Restriction that is applicable to the Restricted Stock may also apply to any such dividends if the Award Agreement so provides.  Except as set forth in the Award Agreement, in the event of (A) any adjustment as provided in Section 4(c), or (B) any shares or securities are received as a dividend, or an extraordinary dividend is paid in cash, on Shares of Restricted Stock, any new or additional Shares or securities or any extraordinary dividends paid

in cash received by a recipient of Restricted Stock shall be subject to the same terms and conditions, including the Period of Restriction, as relate to the original Shares of Restricted Stock.

(ii)       Restricted Stock Units.   A Participant receiving Restricted Stock Units shall have the rights of a stockholder only as to Shares, if any, actually issued to such Participant upon expiration of the Period of Restriction and satisfaction or achievement of the terms and conditions of the Award, and in accordance with the provisions of the Plan and the applicable Award Agreement, and not with respect to Shares to which such Award relates but which are not actually issued to such Participant.

(h)       Termination of Employment or Service.   Except as otherwise provided in this Section 8(h), during the Period of Restriction, any Restricted Stock Units and/or Shares of Restricted Stock held by a Participant shall be forfeited and revert to the Company (or, if Shares of Restricted Stock were sold to the Participant, the Participant shall be required to resell such Shares to the Company at cost) upon the Participant’s Termination of Service or the failure to meet or satisfy any applicable performance goals or other terms, conditions and restrictions to the extent set forth in the applicable Award Agreement.  Each applicable Award Agreement shall set forth the extent to which, if any, the Participant shall have the right to retain Restricted Stock Units and/or Shares of Restricted Stock, then subject to the Period of Restriction, following such Participant’s Termination of Service.  Such provisions shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Committee, shall be included in the applicable Award Agreement, need not be uniform among all such Awards issued pursuant to the Plan, and may reflect distinctions based on the reasons for, or circumstances of, such Termination of Service.

9.     Other Stock-Based Awards.

(a)       Other Stock-Based Awards.  The Committee may grant types of equity-based or equity-related Awards not otherwise described by the terms of the Plan (including the grant or offer for sale of unrestricted Shares), in such amounts and subject to such terms and conditions, as the Committee shall determine. Such Other Stock-Based Awards may involve the transfer of actual Shares to Participants, or payment in cash or otherwise of amounts based on the value of Shares. The terms and conditions of such Awards shall be consistent with the Plan and set forth in the Award Agreement and need not be uniform among all such Awards or all Participants receiving such Awards.

(b)       Value of Other Stock-Based Awards. Each Other Stock-Based Award shall be expressed in terms of Shares or units based on Shares, as determined by the Committee. The Committee may establish performance goals in its discretion, and any such performance goals shall be set forth in the applicable Award Agreement. If the Committee exercises its discretion to establish performance goals, the number and/or value of Other Stock-Based Awards that will be paid out to the Participant will depend on the extent to which such performance goals are met.

(c)       Payment of Other Stock-Based Awards.  Payment, if any, with respect to an Other Stock-Based Award shall be made in accordance with the terms of the Award, as set forth in the Award Agreement, in cash, Shares or a combination of cash and Shares, as the Committee determines.

(d)       Rights and Obligations as a Stockholder.  A Participant receiving an Other Stock- Based Award shall have the rights of a stockholder only as to Shares, if any, actually issued to such Participant upon satisfaction or achievement of the terms and conditions of the Award, and in accordance with the provisions of the Plan and the applicable Award Agreement, and not with respect to Shares to which such Award relates but which are not actually issued to such Participant.

(e)       Termination of Service.  The Committee shall determine the extent to which the Participant shall have the right, if any, to receive payments with respect to an Other Stock-Based Award following the Participant’s Termination of Service. Such provisions shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Committee, such provisions may be included in the applicable Award Agreement, but need not be uniform among all Other Stock-Based Awards issued pursuant to the Plan, and may reflect distinctions based on the reasons for Termination of Service.

10.     Dividend Equivalents.      Unless otherwise provided by the Committee, no adjustment shall be made in the Shares issuable or taken into account under Awards on account of cash dividends that may be paid or other rights that may be issued to the holders of Shares prior to issuance of such Shares under such Award.  The Committee may grant Dividend Equivalents based on the dividends declared on Shares that are subject to any Award, including any Award the payment or settlement of which is deferred pursuant to Section 20(d).  Any Award of Dividend Equivalents may be credited as of the dividend payment dates, during the period between the Grant Date of the Award and the date the Award becomes payable or terminates or expires, as determined by the Committee.  Dividend Equivalents may be subject to any limitations and/or restrictions determined by the Committee. Dividend Equivalents shall be converted to cash or additional Shares by such formula and at such time, and shall be paid at such times, as may be determined by the Committee.

11.     Cash-Based Awards.

(a)       Grant of Cash-Based Awards.   Subject to the terms of the Plan, Cash-Based Awards may be granted to Participants in such amounts and upon such terms, and at any time and from time to time, as shall be determined by the Committee, in accordance with the Plan.  A Cash-Based Award entitles the Participant who receives such Award to receive a payment in cash upon the attainment of applicable performance goals for the applicable performance period, and/or satisfaction of other terms and conditions, in each case determined by the Committee, and which shall be set forth in the Award Agreement.   The terms and conditions of such Awards shall be consistent with the Plan and set forth in the Award Agreement and need not be uniform among all such Awards or all Participants receiving such Awards.

(b)       Earning and Payment of Cash-Based Awards.  Cash-Based Awards shall become earned, in whole or in part, based upon the attainment of performance goals specified by the Committee and/or the occurrence of any event or events and/or satisfaction of such terms and conditions, including a Change of Control, as the Committee shall determine, either at or after the Grant Date.  The Committee shall determine the extent to which any applicable performance goals and/or other terms and conditions of a Cash-Based Award are attained or not attained following conclusion of the applicable performance period.    The Committee may, in its discretion, waive any such performance goals and/or other terms and conditions relating to any such Award, subject to Section 12, if applicable.  Payment of earned Cash-Based Awards shall be as determined by the Committee and set forth in the Award Agreement.

(c)       Termination of Employment or Service.  Each Award Agreement shall set forth the extent to which the Participant shall have the right, if any, to retain Cash-Based Award following such Participant’s Termination of Service.  Such provisions shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Committee, shall be included in the applicable Award Agreement, need not be uniform among all such Awards issued pursuant to the Plan, and may reflect distinctions based on the reasons for Termination of Service.

12.     Transferability Of Awards; Beneficiary Designation.

(a)       Transferability of Incentive Stock Options.  No ISO or Tandem SAR granted in connection with an ISO may be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated, other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution or in accordance with Section 12(c). Further, all ISOs and Tandem SARs granted in connection with ISOs granted to a Participant shall be exercisable during his or her lifetime only by such Participant.

(b)       All Other Awards.  Except as otherwise provided in Section 8(e) or Section 12(c) or a Participant’s Award Agreement or otherwise determined at any time by the Committee, no Award granted under the Plan may be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated, other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution; provided that the Committee may permit further transferability, on a general or a specific basis, and may impose conditions and limitations on any permitted transferability, subject to Section 12(a) and any applicable Period of Restriction; provided further, however, that no Award may be transferred for value or other consideration without first obtaining approval thereof by the Board.  Further, except as otherwise provided in a Participant’s Award Agreement or otherwise determined at any time by the Committee, or unless the Committee decides to permit further transferability, subject to Section 12(a) and any applicable Period of Restriction, all Awards granted to a Participant under the Plan, and all rights with respect to such Awards, shall be exercisable or available during his or her lifetime only by or to such Participant. With respect to those Awards, if any, that are permitted to be transferred to another individual, references in the Plan to exercise or payment related to such Awards by or to the Participant shall be deemed to include, as determined by the Committee, the Participant’s permitted transferee.  In the event any Award is exercised by or otherwise paid to the executors, administrators, heirs or distributees of the estate of a deceased Participant, or such a Participant’s beneficiary, or the transferee of an Award, in any such case, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Plan and the applicable Agreement and in accordance with such terms and conditions as may be specified from time to time by the Committee, the Company shall be under no obligation to issue Shares thereunder unless and until the Company is reasonably satisfied that the person or persons exercising such Award, or to receive such payment, are the duly appointed legal representative of the deceased Participant’s estate or the proper legatees or distributees thereof or the named beneficiary of such Participant, or the valid transferee of such Award, as applicable.   Any purported assignment, transfer or encumbrance of an Award that does not comply with this Section 12(b) shall be void and unenforceable against the Company.

(c)       Beneficiary Designation.   Each Participant may, from time to time, name any beneficiary or beneficiaries who shall be permitted to exercise his or her Option or SAR or to whom any benefit under the Plan is to be paid in case of the Participant’s death before he or she fully exercises his or her Option or SAR or 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 the Company, and will be effective only when filed by the Participant in writing with the Company during the Participant’s lifetime.   In the absence of any such beneficiary designation, a Participant’s unexercised Option or SAR, or amounts due but remaining unpaid to such Participant, at the Participant’s death, shall be exercised or paid as designated by the Participant by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.

13.     Rights of Participants.

(a)       Rights or Claims.  No person shall have any rights or claims under the Plan except in accordance with the provisions of the Plan and any applicable Award Agreement. The liability of the Company and any Affiliate under the Plan is limited to the obligations expressly set forth in the Plan or an Award Agreement, and no term or provision of the Plan or an Award Agreement may be construed to impose any further or additional duties, obligations, or costs on the Company or any Affiliate thereof or the Board or the Committee not expressly set forth in the Plan or an Award Agreement.  The grant of an Award under the Plan shall not confer any rights upon the Participant

holding such Award other than such terms, and subject to such conditions, as are specified in the Plan as being applicable to such type of Award, or to all Awards, or as are expressly set forth in the Award Agreement evidencing such Award.   Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, neither the existence of the Plan nor anything contained in the Plan or in any Award Agreement (except if such Award Agreement is an Individual Agreement and as explicitly sets forth therein) shall be deemed to:

(i)      Give any Eligible Grantee the right to be retained in the employment or service of the Company and/or an Affiliate, whether in any particular position, at any particular rate of compensation, for any particular period of time or otherwise;

(ii)     Restrict in any way the right of the Company and/or an Affiliate to terminate, change or modify any Eligible Grantee’s employment or service at any time with or without cause;

(iii)    Confer on any Eligible Grantee any right of continued relationship with the Company and/or an Affiliate, or alter any relationship between them, including any right of the Company or an Affiliate to terminate, change or modify its relationship with an Eligible Grantee;

(iv)    Constitute a contract of employment or service between the Company or any Affiliate and any Eligible Grantee, nor shall it constitute a right to remain in the employ or service of the Company or any Affiliate;

(v)     Give any Eligible Grantee the right to receive any bonus, whether payable in cash or in Shares, or in any combination thereof, from the Company and/or an Affiliate, nor be construed as limiting in any way the right of the Company and/or an Affiliate to determine, in its sole discretion, whether or not it shall pay any Eligible Grantee bonuses, and, if so paid, the amount thereof and the manner of such payment; or

(vi)    Give any Participant any rights whatsoever with respect to an Award except as specifically provided in the Plan and the Award Agreement or in an applicable Individual Agreement.

(b)       Adoption of the Plan.  The adoption of the Plan shall not be deemed to give any Eligible Grantee or any other individual any right to be selected as a Participant or to be granted an Award (except as contemplated in the Plan of Reorganization or ancillary documents related thereto), or, having been so selected, to be selected to receive a future Award.

(c)       Vesting.  Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, a Participant’s right or entitlement to exercise or otherwise vest in any Award not exercisable or vested at the Grant Date thereof shall only result from continued services as a Non-Employee Director or Consultant, or continued employment, as the case may be, with the Company or any Affiliate, or satisfaction of any other performance goals or other conditions or restrictions applicable, by its terms, to such Award, except, in each such case, as the Committee may, in its discretion, expressly determine otherwise (in an Award Agreement or otherwise).

(d)       No Effects on Benefits; No Damages.  Payments and other compensation received by a Participant under an Award are not part of such Participant’s normal or expected compensation or salary for any purpose, including calculating termination, indemnity, severance, resignation, redundancy, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits or similar payments under any laws, plans, contracts, policies, programs, arrangements or otherwise.     Except as set forth in an Award Agreement or Individual Agreement, a Participant shall, by participating in

the Plan, waive any and all rights to compensation or damages in consequence of Termination of Service of such Participant for any reason whatsoever, whether lawfully or otherwise, insofar as those rights arise or may arise from such Participant ceasing to have rights under the Plan as a result of such Termination of Service, or from the loss or diminution in value of such rights or entitlements, including by reason of the operation of the terms of the Plan or the provisions of any statute or law relating to taxation.  No claim or entitlement to compensation or damages arises from the termination of the Plan or diminution in value of any Award or Shares purchased or otherwise received under the Plan, in all cases, provided that the Company has complied with the terms of the Plan and the applicable Award Agreement.

(e)       One or More Types of Awards.  A particular type of Award may be granted to a Participant either alone or in addition to other Awards under the Plan.

14.                               Change of Control.  Except as the Committee may otherwise specify with respect to particular Awards in the relevant Award Agreement, in the case of and subject to the consummation of a Change of Control, the parties thereto may cause the assumption or continuation of Awards theretofore granted by the successor entity, or the substitution of such Awards with new Awards of the successor entity or parent thereof, with appropriate adjustment as to the number and kind of shares and, if appropriate, the per share exercise prices, as such parties shall agree. Upon the effective time of the Change of Control, the Plan and all outstanding Awards granted hereunder shall terminate. In the event of such termination, (i) the Company shall have the option (in its sole discretion) to make or provide for a cash payment to the Participants holding Options and Stock Appreciation Rights, in exchange for the cancellation thereof, in an amount equal to the difference between (A) the Change of Control Price multiplied by the number of shares of Stock subject to outstanding Options and Stock Appreciation Rights (to the extent then exercisable at prices not in excess of the Change of Control Price) and (B) the aggregate exercise price of all such outstanding Options and Stock Appreciation Rights; or (ii) each Participant shall be permitted, within a specified period of time prior to the consummation of the Change of Control as determined by the Committee, to exercise all outstanding Options and Stock Appreciation Rights (to the extent then exercisable) held by such Participant.

15.     Amendment and Termination.

(a)       Amendment and Termination of the Plan.  The Board may, at any time and with or without prior notice, amend, alter, suspend or terminate the Plan, retroactively or otherwise, but no such amendment, alteration, suspension or termination of the Plan shall be made which would adversely affect the rights of any Participant with respect to a previously granted Award without such Participant’s written consent, except any such amendment made to comply with applicable law, tax rules, stock exchange rules or accounting rules.  In addition, no such amendment shall be made without the approval of the Company’s stockholders to the extent such approval is required by any applicable law, tax rules, stock exchange rules or accounting rules (including as necessary to comply with any rules or requirements of any securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system on which the Shares may be listed or quoted).  Except as provided in Section 4(c) or 14, without prior stockholder approval, in no event may the Committee exercise its discretion to reduce the exercise price of outstanding Stock Options or Stock Appreciation Rights or effect repricing through cancellation and re-grants or cancellation of Stock Options or Stock Appreciation Rights in exchange for cash.

(b)       Amendment of Awards.    Subject to the immediately following sentence, the Committee may unilaterally amend or alter the terms of any Award theretofore granted, including any Award Agreement, retroactively or otherwise, but no such amendment shall be inconsistent with the terms and conditions of the Plan or adversely affect the rights of the Participant to whom such Award was granted with respect to such Award without his or her written consent, except such an amendment

made to cause the Plan or such Award to comply with applicable law, tax rules, stock exchange rules or accounting rules.

(c)       Individual Agreements.  The provisions of any Individual Agreement that make express reference to the Plan or any Awards, or otherwise to equity or equity-based awards made by the Company or an Affiliate, shall prevail over the provisions of the Plan and the applicable Award Agreement in the case of a conflict between such provisions and the provisions of the Plan and the applicable Award Agreement; provided that an Award Agreement may specifically provide that all or a portion of the provisions of the Individual Agreement will not prevail, in which case, to that extent, the Plan and Award Agreement will apply in accordance with their terms.

16.     Tax Withholding and Other Tax Matters.

(a)       Tax Withholding.  The Company and/or any Affiliate are authorized to withhold from any Award granted or payment due under the Plan the amount of all Federal, state, local and non-United States taxes due in respect of such Award or payment and take any such other action as may be necessary or appropriate, as determined by the Committee, to satisfy all obligations for the payment of such taxes. No later than the date as of which an amount first becomes includible in the gross income or wages of a Participant for federal, state, local, or non- U.S. tax purposes with respect to any Award, such Participant shall pay to the Company, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Committee regarding the payment of, any federal, state, local or non-U.S. taxes or social security (or similar) contributions of any kind required by law to be withheld with respect to such amount.  The obligations of the Company under the Plan shall be conditional on such payment or satisfactory arrangements (as determined by the Committee in its discretion), and the Company and the Subsidiaries and Affiliates shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct any such taxes from any payment otherwise due to such Participant, whether or not under the Plan.

(b)       Withholding or Tendering Shares.      Without limiting the generality of Section 16(a), subject to any applicable laws, a Participant may (unless disallowed by the Committee to the extent not provided in an Award Agreement) elect to satisfy or arrange to satisfy, in whole or in part, the tax obligations incident to an Award by: (i) electing to have the Company withhold Shares or other property otherwise deliverable to such Participant pursuant to his or her Award (provided, however, that the amount of any Shares so withheld shall not exceed the amount necessary to satisfy required Federal, state, local and non-United States withholding obligations using the minimum statutory withholding rates for Federal, state, local and/or non- U.S. tax purposes, including payroll taxes, that are applicable to supplemental taxable income) and/or (ii) tendering to the Company Shares already owned by such Participant (or by such Participant and his or her spouse jointly) and which meet any such requirements as the Committee may determine are necessary in order to avoid an accounting earnings charge on account of the use of such Shares to satisfy such tax obligations), based, in each case, on the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the payment date as determined by the Committee.  All such elections shall be irrevocable, made in writing, signed by the Participant, and shall be subject to any restrictions or limitations that the Committee, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate (to the extent not explicitly permitted by an Award Agreement).  The Committee may establish such procedures as it deems appropriate, including making irrevocable elections, for settlement of withholding obligations with Common Stock.

(c)       Restrictions.  The satisfaction of tax obligations pursuant to this Section 16 shall be subject to such restrictions as the Committee may impose, including any restrictions required by applicable law or the rules and regulations of the SEC, and shall be construed consistent with an intent to comply with any such applicable laws, rule and regulations.

(d)       Special ISO Obligations.    The Committee may require a Participant to give prompt written notice to the Company concerning any disposition of Shares received upon the exercise of an ISO within: (i) two (2) years from the Grant Date such ISO to such Participant or (ii) one (1) year from the transfer of such Shares to such Participant or (iii) such other period as the Committee may from time to time determine.  The Committee may direct that a Participant with respect to an ISO undertake in the applicable Award Agreement to give such written notice described in the preceding sentence, at such time and containing such information as the Committee may prescribe, and/or that the certificates evidencing Shares acquired by exercise of an ISO refer to such requirement to give such notice.

(e)       Section 83(b) Election.  If a Participant makes an election under Section 83(b) of the Code to be taxed with respect to an Award as of the date of transfer of Shares rather than as of the date or dates upon which the Participant would otherwise be taxable under Section 83(a) of the Code, such Participant shall deliver a copy of such election to the Company upon or prior to the filing such election with the Internal Revenue Service.  Neither the Company nor any Affiliate shall have any liability or responsibility relating to or arising out of the filing or not filing of any such election or any defects in its construction.

(f)        No Guarantee of Favorable Tax Treatment.   Although the Company intends to administer the Plan so that Awards will be exempt from, or will comply with, the requirements of Code Section 409A, the Company does not warrant that any Award under the Plan will qualify for favorable tax treatment under Code Section 409A or any other provision of federal, state, local, or non-United States law.  The Company shall not be liable to any Participant or any other person or entity for any tax, interest, or penalties the Participant might owe as a result of the grant, holding, vesting, exercise, or payment of any Award under the Plan.

(g)       Nonqualified Deferred Compensation.

(i)      It is the intention of the Company that no Award shall be deferred compensation subject to Code Section 409A unless and to the extent that the Committee specifically determines otherwise as provided in paragraph (ii) of this Section 16(g), and the Plan and the terms and conditions of all Awards shall be interpreted and administered accordingly.

(ii)     The terms and conditions governing any Awards that the Committee determines will be subject to Section 409A of the Code, including any rules for payment or elective or mandatory deferral of the payment or delivery of Shares or cash pursuant thereto, and any rules regarding treatment of such Awards in the event of a Change of Control, shall be set forth in the applicable Award Agreement and shall be intended to comply in all respects with Section 409A of the Code, and the Plan and the terms and conditions of such Awards shall be interpreted and administered accordingly.

(iii)    The Committee shall not extend the period to exercise an Option or Stock Appreciation Right to the extent that such extension would cause the Option or Stock Appreciation Right to become subject to Code Section 409A.

(iv)    No Dividend Equivalents shall relate to Shares underlying an Option or SAR unless such Dividend Equivalent rights are explicitly set forth as a separate arrangement and do not cause any such Option or SAR to be subject to Code Section 409A.

(v)     If for any reason, such as imprecision in drafting, any provision of the

Plan and/or any Award Agreement does not accurately reflect its intended establishment of an exemption from (or compliance with) Code Section 409A, as demonstrated by consistent interpretations or other evidence of intent, such provision shall be considered ambiguous as to its exemption from (or compliance with) Code Section 409A and shall be interpreted by the Company in a manner consistent with such intent, as determined in the discretion of the Company.  If, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 16(g)(v), any provision of the Plan or any Award Agreement would cause a Participant to incur any additional tax or interest under Code Section 409A, the Company shall reform such provision in a manner intended to avoid the incurrence by such Participant of any such additional tax or interest; provided that the Company shall maintain, to the extent reasonably practicable, the original intent and economic benefit to the Participant of the applicable provision without violating the provisions of Code Section 409A.

(vi)    Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 4(c) to the contrary, (1) any adjustments made pursuant to Section 4(c) to Awards that are considered “deferred compensation” subject to Section 409A of the Code shall be made in compliance with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code; (2) any adjustments made pursuant to Section 4(c) to Awards that are not considered “deferred compensation” subject to Section 409A of the Code shall be made in such a manner as to ensure that after such adjustment, the Awards either (A) continue not to be subject to Section 409A of the Code or (B) comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code; and (3) in any event, neither the Committee nor the Board shall have any authority to make any adjustments, substitutions or changes pursuant to Section 4(c) to the extent the existence of such authority would cause an Award that is not intended to be subject to Section 409A of the Code at the Grant Date thereof to be subject to Section 409A of the Code.

(vii)   If any Award is subject to Section 409A of the Code, the provisions of Section 14 shall be applicable to such Award only to the extent specifically provided in the Award Agreement and permitted pursuant to paragraph (ii) of this Section 16(g).

(viii)  Notwithstanding any other provision in the Plan, any Award Agreement or any other written document establishing the terms and conditions of an Award, if any Participant is a “specified employee,” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, as of the date of his or her “separation from service” (as defined under Section 409A of the Code), then, to the extent required by Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(2) (or any successor provision), any payment made to such Participant on account of his or her separation from service shall not be made before a date that is six months after the date of his or her separation from service.  The Committee may elect any of the methods of applying this rule that are permitted under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(2)(ii) (or any successor provision).

17.     Limits Of Liability; Indemnification.

(a)       Limits of Liability.    Any liability of the Company or an Affiliate to any Participant with respect to any Award shall be based solely upon contractual obligations created by the Plan and the Award Agreement.

(i)      None of the Company, any Affiliate, any member of the Board or the Committee or any other person participating in any determination of any question under the Plan, or in the interpretation, administration or application of the Plan, shall have any liability, in the absence of bad faith, to any party for any action taken or not taken in connection with the Plan, except as may expressly be provided by statute.

(ii)     Each member of the Committee, while serving as such, shall be considered to be acting in his or her capacity as a director of the Company.  Members of the Board of Directors and members of the Committee acting under the Plan shall be fully protected in relying in good faith upon the advice of counsel and shall incur no liability except for gross negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of their duties.

(iii)    The Company shall not be liable to a Participant or any other person as to: (i) the non-issuance of Shares as to which the Company has been unable to obtain (after use of commercially reasonable efforts) from any regulatory body having relevant jurisdiction the authority reasonably deemed by the Committee or the Company’s counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any Shares hereunder, (ii) any tax consequence expected, but not realized, by any Participant or other person due to the receipt, exercise or settlement of any Option or other Award, or (iii) any tax, interest, or penalties any Participant or other person might owe as a result of the grant, holding, vesting, exercise, or payment of any Award under the Plan.

(b)       Indemnification.   Subject to the requirements of Delaware law, each individual who is or shall have been a member of the Committee or of the Board, or an officer of the Company to whom authority was delegated in accordance with Section 3, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company against and from any loss, cost, liability, or expense that may be imposed upon or reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with or resulting from any claim, action, suit, or proceeding to which he or she may be a party or in which he or she may be involved by reason of any action taken or failure to act under the Plan and against and from any and all amounts paid by him or her in settlement thereof, with the Company’s approval, or paid by him or her in satisfaction of any judgment in any such action, suit, or proceeding against him or her, provided he or she shall give the Company an opportunity, at its own expense, to handle and defend the same before he or she undertakes to handle and defend it on his or her own behalf, unless such loss, cost, liability, or expense is a result of the individual’s own willful misconduct or except as provided by statute.  The foregoing right of indemnification shall not be exclusive of any other rights of indemnification to which such individual may be entitled under the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or By-Laws, as a matter of law, or otherwise, or any power that the Company may have to indemnify or hold harmless such individual.

18.     Successors.  All obligations of the Company under the Plan with respect to Awards granted hereunder shall be binding on any successor to the 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 the Company.

19.     Forfeiture / Clawback.  The Committee may, in its discretion, specify in an Award Agreement or a policy that is incorporated into an Award Agreement by reference, that a Participant’s rights, payments, and benefits with respect to an Award shall be subject to reduction, cancellation, forfeiture, rescission or recoupment upon the occurrence of certain specified events, in addition to any otherwise applicable vesting, restrictions or performance conditions of an Award. Such events may include, but shall not be limited to, Termination of Service with or without cause, breach of noncompetition, confidentiality, or other restrictive covenants that may apply to the Participant, or restatement of the Company’s financial statements to reflect adverse results from those previously released financial statements, as a consequence of errors, omissions, fraud, or misconduct.

20.     Miscellaneous.

(a)       Drafting Context; Captions.   Except where otherwise indicated by the context, any masculine term used herein also shall include the feminine; the plural shall include the singular and the

singular shall include the plural.  The words “Section” and “paragraph” herein shall refer to provisions of the Plan, unless expressly indicated otherwise. The words “include,” “includes,” and “including” herein shall be deemed to be followed by “without limitation” whether or not they are in fact followed by such words or words of similar import, unless the context otherwise requires.  The headings and captions appearing herein are inserted only as a matter of convenience. They do not define, limit, construe, or describe the scope or intent of the provisions of the Plan.

(b)       Severability.  In the event any provision of the Plan shall be held illegal or invalid for any reason, the illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining parts of the Plan, and the Plan shall be construed and enforced as if the illegal or invalid provision had not been included.

(c)       Exercise and Payment of Awards.   An Award shall be deemed exercised or claimed when the Secretary of the Company or any other Company official or other person designated by the Committee for such purpose receives appropriate Notice from a Participant, in form acceptable to the Committee, together with payment of the applicable Option Price, Grant Price or other purchase price, if any, in compliance with Section 16, in accordance with the Plan and such Participant’s Award Agreement.

(d)       Deferrals.   Subject to applicable law, the Committee may from time to time establish procedures pursuant to which a Participant may defer on an elective basis receipt of all or a portion of the cash or Shares subject to an Award on such terms and conditions as the Committee shall determine, including those of any deferred compensation plan of the Company or any Affiliate specified by the Committee for such purpose.

(e)       No Effect on Other Plans.    Neither the adoption of the Plan nor anything contained herein shall affect any other compensation or incentive plans or arrangements of the Company or any Affiliate, or prevent or limit the right of the Company or any Affiliate to establish any other forms of incentives or compensation for their directors, officers, eligible employees or consultants or grant or assume options or other rights otherwise than under the Plan.

(f)        Requirements of Law; Limitations on Awards.

(i)      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.

(ii)     If at any time the Committee shall determine, in its discretion, that the listing, registration and/or qualification of Shares upon any securities exchange or under any state, Federal or non-United States law, or the consent or approval of any governmental regulatory body, is necessary or desirable as a condition of, or in connection with, the sale or purchase of Shares hereunder, the Company shall have no obligation to allow the grant, exercise or payment of any Award, or to issue or deliver evidence of title for Shares issued under the Plan, in whole or in part, unless and until such listing, registration, qualification, consent and/or approval shall have been effected or obtained, or otherwise provided for, free of any conditions not acceptable to the Committee.

(iii)    If at any time counsel to the Company shall be of the opinion that any sale or delivery of Shares pursuant to an Award is or may be in the circumstances unlawful or result in the imposition of excise taxes on the Company or any Affiliate under the statutes, rules or regulations of any applicable jurisdiction, the Company shall have no obligation to make such sale or delivery, or to make any application or to effect or to maintain any qualification or

registration under the Securities Act, or otherwise with respect to Shares or Awards and the right to exercise or payment of any Option or Award shall be suspended until, in the opinion of such counsel, such sale or delivery shall be lawful or will not result in the imposition of excise taxes on the Company or any Affiliate.

(iv)    Upon termination of any period of suspension under this Section 20(f), any Award affected by such suspension which shall not then have expired or terminated shall be reinstated as to all Shares available before such suspension and as to the Shares which would otherwise have become available during the period of such suspension, but no suspension shall extend the term of any Award.

(v)     The Committee may require each person receiving Shares in connection with any Award under the Plan to represent and agree with the Company in writing that such person is acquiring such Shares for investment without a view to the distribution thereof, and/or provide such other reasonable representations and agreements as the Committee may prescribe.  The Committee, in its absolute discretion, may impose such restrictions on the ownership and transferability of the Shares purchasable or otherwise receivable by any person under any Award as it deems appropriate.  Any such restrictions shall be set forth in the applicable Award Agreement at the grant date, and the certificates evidencing such shares may include any legend that the Committee deems appropriate to reflect any such restrictions.

(vi)    An Award and any Shares received upon the exercise or payment of an Award shall be subject to such other transfer and/or ownership restrictions and/or legending requirements as the Committee may establish in its discretion and may be referred to on the certificates evidencing such Shares, including restrictions under applicable Federal securities laws, under the requirements of any stock exchange or market upon which such Shares are then listed and/or traded, and under any blue sky or state securities laws applicable to such Shares.

(g)       Participants Deemed to Accept Plan.   By accepting any benefit under the Plan, each Participant and each person claiming under or through any such Participant shall be conclusively deemed to have indicated their acceptance and ratification of, and consent to, all of the terms and conditions of the Plan and any action taken under the Plan by the Board, the Committee or the Company, in any case in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Plan.

(h)       Governing Law.  Except as to matters concerning the issuance of Shares or other matters of corporate governance, which shall be determined, and related Plan and Award provisions, which shall be construed, under the laws of the State of Delaware, the Plan and each Award Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, excluding any conflicts or choice of law rule or principle that might otherwise refer construction or interpretation of the Plan to the substantive law of another jurisdiction.  Unless otherwise provided in the Award Agreement, Participants are deemed to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the federal or state courts of the State of Delaware, to resolve any and all issues that may arise out of or relate to the Plan or any related Award Agreement.

(i)        Plan Unfunded.  The Plan shall be an unfunded plan for incentive compensation. The Company shall not be required to establish any special or separate fund or to make any other segregation of assets to assure the issuance of Shares or the payment of cash upon exercise or payment of any Award.  Proceeds from the sale of Shares pursuant to Options or other Awards granted under the Plan shall constitute general funds of the Company.  With respect to any payments not yet made to any person pursuant to an Award, nothing contained in the Plan or any Award Agreement shall give such person any rights that are greater than those of a general creditor of the Company or any Affiliate, and a Participant’s

rights under the Plan at all times constitute an unsecured claim against the general assets of the Company for the payment any amounts as they come due under the Plan.  Neither the Participant nor the Participant’s duly- authorized transferee or beneficiaries shall have any claim against or rights in any specific assets, Shares, or other funds of the Company or any Affiliate.

(j)        Administration Costs.  The Company shall bear all costs and expenses incurred in administering the Plan, including expenses of issuing Shares pursuant to any Options or other Awards granted hereunder.

(k)       Uncertificated Shares.  To the extent that the Plan provides for issuance of certificates to reflect the transfer of Shares, the transfer of such Shares may nevertheless be effected on a noncertificated basis, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law or the rules of any stock exchange.

(l)        No Fractional Shares.   An Option or other Award shall not be exercisable with respect to a fractional Share or the lesser of fifty (50) shares or the full number of Shares then subject to the Option or other Award.  No fractional Shares shall be issued upon the exercise or payment of an Option or other Award.

(m)      Affiliate Eligible Grantees.   In the case of a grant of an Award to any Eligible Grantee of an Affiliate, the Company may, if the Committee so directs, issue or transfer the Shares, if any, covered by the Award to such Affiliate, for such lawful consideration as the Committee may specify, upon the condition or understanding that such Affiliate will transfer such Shares to such Eligible Grantee in accordance with the terms and conditions of such Award and those of the Plan.  The Committee may also adopt procedures regarding treatment of any Shares so transferred to an Affiliate that are subsequently forfeited or canceled.

(n)       Data Protection.   By participating in the Plan, each Participant consents to the collection, processing, transmission and storage by the Company, in any form whatsoever, of any data of a professional or personal nature which is necessary for the purposes of administering the Plan.  The Company may share such information with any Affiliate, any trustee, its registrars, brokers, other third-party administrator or any person who obtains control of the Company or any Affiliate or any division respectively thereof.

(o)       Right of Offset.  To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Company and the Affiliates shall have the right to offset against the obligations to make payment or issue any Shares to any Participant under the Plan, any outstanding amounts (including travel and entertainment advance balances, loans, tax withholding amounts paid by the employer or amounts repayable to the Company or any Affiliate pursuant to tax equalization, housing, automobile or other employee programs) such Participant then owes to the Company or any Affiliate and any amounts the Committee otherwise reasonably deems appropriate pursuant to any tax equalization policy or agreement, in each case to the extent permitted by applicable law and not in violation of Code Section 409A.

(p)       Participants Based Outside of the United States.    The Committee may grant awards to Eligible Grantees who are non-United States nationals, or who reside outside the United States or who are not compensated from a payroll maintained in the United States or who are otherwise subject to (or could cause the Company to be subject to) legal or regulatory provisions of countries or jurisdictions outside the United States, on such terms and conditions different from those specified in the Plan as may, in the judgment of the Committee, be necessary or desirable to foster and promote achievement of the purposes of the Plan and comply with such legal or regulatory provisions, and, in furtherance of such purposes, the Committee may make or establish such modifications, amendments, procedures or

subplans as may be necessary or advisable to comply with such legal or regulatory requirements (including to maximize tax efficiency).
